But he was not the only hero. Wise run very well
for Governor when be was elected, but he had run
better as a General. lLaughter,l Mr. Dickinson then
paid high tribute TO the volunteer soldiers WHO had
gone from Connecticut. He would ask young men 10

tie community. They were the bold traitors, and
would stand as monuments for the immoylng I'M

South demanded that this rebellion should be put
down. IL reared in the mighty cataract Of Niagara,
II sounded in the breezes along the Rio Grande, Pat
down this rebellion" And the people had spoken,
their fiat had gone forth-the rebellion was doomed.
Every one who apoOgized for rebellion was himself
rebel. lCbeers. Every one who attempted to en-
courage rebellion pointed dagger at the soldiers
heart. Every one who apoogized for rebellion held

capital. Every one who apoogized for rebellion
would sever this might Union, ii he had the power.
Every drop of blood shed now would rave oceans Of
blood hereafter.
As Mr.. Dickinson closed there was tremendous
cheering waving Of hsts handkerchieisand little flags.
The singing Of the Star-Spanged Banner ended the
meeting in the afternoon.
