New-York daily tribune., 1861-05-30


July th',ren All! God bless you and amen, kind
5entF ,men, for the words. The voice Of the pub
10 from the gentle beavngs OF tue Pacific, over
che desolate wastes Of the wide GENITAL basin,
from the gulch and gold-wasbog, from the prai-
rie aud lake coast to the myriad voices OF the
Atlantic margin, tho swelling cry ls Forward
" To Richmond on the Fouttb OF July" From
the nights of Shochoe Hill, looking away toward
Monticello, read, to al air vocal with ac-
claims, the charter of car freedom, on soil
which heid in Irving and 10 death the author whose
imperisbable fame smiles in the dying glory OF
State which now stones the prophets Of their Old
religion. Salute the constellation Of your symbol
stars with the strains of that melody which II
the echo in the heart of the emotion which leaps
out as We look at It's blazing cluster, not nebu-
loes in doubt, but bright apd burning in sky
which has no cloud Vlndlcate, then, with the
Pater Patria-looking streuely, in everdurlns
marble, az he locked in life, tue first who swore
to protect, preserve and defend for Us and our
posterity, the covenant which, for evil and Tor
good, bind US by ties not in his or in our lives
to be cast asunder.
"On to Richmond ~ then, is the voice Of the
people. UncOse your chiyalry, Man Of high COM
mand Let them ttrike home to the heart of
Virginia in The early part of June. Do you need
men 7 Publish once more the Arriere Ban. Call
out the thousands who are now painting for the
charge. Do you want money! Call, for the
treasures Of boarded capital full TO congestion as
are the Golfers. Use it for food in the field and
furnishing for the march, and not for subsistence
in camp or the bread of idleness in the biyDuac,
and you shall have iugots Mt your need. Who
cares 10 a,k whe her Treasury Notes are at ~
cents or part WHO inquiries whether United
States 6s are worth q full hundred or 10 per
cent under. War bulletins aud not Rowlets inter
eat tables are the reading Of the public. The
victim, strangling aud struggling for life in water,
does not think of his check book or his baokeI's
balance. 1t is for existence that we pOi'e the
upl tied hand 10 strike. The country Dow, pa
trlclan and plebian, would hail the sight u one
quarter Of q million of soldiers under canvas, or
in the line Of advance, with home reserves Of
equal footing. Ii you would save life,
appear in overw beluiig force. II you
would spare carnage, Osersbadow resistance
by the presence Of inyincible numbers. We do
not ask y0u-for i speak as Tribune of the
people-to push 10 the tidewaier OF the Gulf
now, but We do beg aud implore Of you to
perce the vitas Of Virginia, aud scourge the
serpent seed of her rebellion ON the crowning
bigbts OF Richmond. The stock exchange OF
your narts the graduated barometer where tho
strength OF power and the confidence in Govern
nent can be read, Will shos u ri,ing fluid. The
me,hes of foreign diplomacy winding about you,
when you are in weakness confessed BY hcsita-
ton and inaction, will fall apart Ike fax at the
touch of fire, when you shake yourselves In the
risings Of your might. Thir -four stars in the
frmauent Of the capital OF Virginia, with the
attending stripes, Will stir the blood Of the two
continents.
Not under the tent only, but 10 the field aud
the workshop, there i' now burning a martial
ardor which almost consumes 10 the core. Do you
believe We are '' nation Of shopkeepers'-
bound slaves to production and profit Wait and
be undeceved. The dollar worship 10 not the
true Devotion Of the laud. Years of peace and
its pursuIts-accumuatlons Of capital, ing altering
Of foreign ard American art, collections Of
libraries, adornments Of country .seats, have sc.
duced from but have not smotbered the fires Of
mel and homespun beats the knight-trr Of
Tempar and the Fleece. DO you reply that we
are to have this capture only by conflict and loss
OF bloOdi Granted. But who ever knew q war
without battles, or a campaign without carnage
II victims must be had, as We know they must,
let the offering be early No one who presses
on to the accomplishment will stop 10 calculate
whether he is to lme back ~ the music Of
quick step or the measure OF a dead march. 1t
is not here that private guef, IN foreboding, 10
TO stand in the path Of high achievement. If .
voice IL TO be heard in Rama, let it wall out
now. If bridal wreatbs must be laid aside for
widows weeds, the question Of hours and days
in the anguish will pass into an uncounted aggre.
CATION of long watches of sorrow.
Again we repeat, on to Richmond Point your
standards and your steel toward this wierd sis.
