1.-THE marrow OF John Cochrane's speech
the whole OF which Secretary Cameron un,
lqualifiedly indorsed, is in the following par.
agraph. which we quote Uerbdaim: H.aE
L" This is war which moves toward the
protection Of our homes, the safety of oul
families, the continuation Of domestic alters
and the protection OF our firesides. In such
a war we are justified, and are bound to re.
sort to every means within our power.
"'Shall we not seize the cotton at Beau.
fort, the munitions of war? And il you
would seize their property, even the ports,
and even destroy their lives, ask you wheth-
er you would not use their slaves? whether
| you would not arm their slaves great ap-
plause and carry them in battalions against
their masters2 Renewed and tumultuous

ment, would plunge their whole country,
black and white, in one indiscriminate sea OF
blood, so that we should, in the end, have a
Government which would be the vicegerent
Of God. r.. r..
"'You have arms in your hands, placed
there for the purpose of extermnating an
enemy unless he submits to law, order and
the Constitution. If he will not submit, ex-
plode every thing that comes in your way;
set fire to the cotton; explode the cotton;
take the slave and bestow him on the non.
stakeholder if you please. Great applause. |
Do to them as they would do to US. Raise
up party interest against the absent Save.
holder. Distract their counsels, and If this
should not be sufficient. take the slave by
the hand, place musket in it, and in Gods
name bid him strike for the liberty of the
human race" Immense applause.
This speech Of Mr.. Cochrane has
gladdened the hearts of the radical Re
publicans more than any thing that has
lately occurred. We do not ourselves
regard so much what Mr.. Cochrane
said as its endorsement by the Secreta-
ry Of War. Mr.. Cochrane himself, and
what he may say, are not of very much
consequence. He always was crotch
ETY., yacillating and uncertain. He was
one of the concoctors of the Buffalo
Platform, and has vibrated since be-
tween that and extreme pro-slayery.
lie has now taken the back schute, and
gone clean over the Buffalo contrivance,
and is for placing arms in the hands of
the slaves, and bidding them in Gods
name strike for ''the liberty Of the hui
man race" His uncle, Gerrett Smith,
the notorious Abolitionist, can now re-
.joice that he has a nephew in Mr..
Cochrane, who bids fair to outstrip him
self in his anti-slayery views.
Mr.. Cameron's Endorsement, in our
opinion, was nothing more than a tub
thrown to the whale. The radicals of
the party are much incenscd at the re-

They must be Modified, diverted, in
some way, until the Administration
shall be in position to completely over
whem General Fremont with sledge
hammer facts about his incompetency
and extravaganza, if not completely
with the plunderers, that have been
following in his wake. Mr.. Lincoln is
aware, so are his Cabinet counselors,
that if he yields to the radical element
the Government will be swampcd and |
the country ruined. Oncof his Min |
isters may, therefore, be allowed to feed
the radicals Of the party with pleasant
hopes; but further than that he will not |
