Of the baef Influence they exeried at hume, and 80
tostrSnpten the Union men Of the South M 70 enable
them ~ resist the of secession, would under
the circumstances then existing, have consented TO such
Tneasures The event, however, bas shown thai every
sueh Effort however patriotic, was useie-e The re-
dnss of ievanees not the object OF The dsunlon-
iets. They lad indeed, no rartio grievances TO be
rsdresfed, those OF which they complained beng
WHO Nv imaginary. If they declared that their consti
tutoual i.bfs violated, before the question OF
tie proteciioa of their alleged rights could have
been considered by any competent tribunal, they
had 10 the extent Of their power, oyerthrown
tie Constitution itself, and engaged in war
az inst the Government Of the UDited States.
To talk Of redress " grievances with such men, were
10 paIley with lie assassin who attempts your life.
Looking then, at the manner IN which tits great
heli1n WIS commenced and at its progress 70 tins
time have difficulty In saying how it sIould, II
my Judgment, be treated It's Dimensions, know, are
Immense. L. involves, nominay at least, powerful
and wealthy States. Among is adherenS and sup
porters are brave men and able men. It's armies
powerful Yet after all, it is the work Of "a faction.
l. is with all s pretense OF State authority, law
less rebellion stl, and such il must be treated. If
il confined 10 "a single State, we should have no
difficulty as the mooe of lis treatment That II eX-
tends over many States, may render ils suppression
more ciicGlt, but DOES not render II impossible,
aud in respect changes our duty with regard 10 It,
I speak for only one state, and the voice Of that
Stale is that this Rebellion must be crushed Let 1t
require longer shorter time, let II cost more or
less money, q greater less sacrce OF hunau life
sl it can be, must aud il will be crushed. Ii the or
dluarg means of warfare DO this, let them, ae
hope they may sufee. Bot ii shall be required,
,nore must be Fesored to- II may be, should the war
continue to drag it's slow length along, that means
witch seem TO terrific in consequences may be re-
qHed; but ought 10 be understood now, In the be-
gaming that whatever means may be necessary TO
preserve the territorial integrity OF tie United States
AND the unity Of the nation, will, when the necessity
shall arise Ge used freely, fully and unhesitsiugy.
If IN tie course OF events, it sha appear that either
Slavery or this Government mugt perish then tue voice
of united. peOpl Will declare, let Slavery perish
and let the N0venment 1--we forever. Such is the stern
determination 10 which thousands have come Who have
been considered heretofore Of moderate views
will not enlarge On this point II is enough TO state
IL 10 is tbs calm, deliberate opinion Of that great con-
servaiiye cass who In the outset Of these troubles
were anZlous il possible 70 find a peaceful solution
of our ccultles. Finding tlis impossible they have
come 10 The conclusion o at the Government shall be
saved from destruction, Whatever else may perish
