TIE POWER OF A SENTIMENT
INDIANA.

It's doubtful whether, since the
days of Peter the Hermit, the
world has seen such an uprising,
at the bidding OF sentiment, as this
country has exhibited in the last
ninety days.
Perhaps the magnitude of the
effort Is best appreciated by obser-
wing what has been done by single
states of the confederacy. And
to illustrate this, we need not even
adduce the exertlons or sovereign
ties dating back to revolutionary
days, as New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts. Young
er members of the Confederacy,
States that half a century since
had no existence, contribute sing
" no inconsiderable army to the
assembling forces OF the Union.
Let us instance one Of these,
which recent events in Western
Virginia have brought favorably
and prominently forward. Ind,

Others have done as well. Ii the

timated by the deeds it prompts.

THE TALK ABOUT COMPROMISE.
| am speaking now Of the talk
about compromise. Traitors and
rebels are standing with arms In
their hands, and it is said that we
must 90 forward and compromise
with them. They are in the
wrong; they are trying to upturn
and destroy our free Institutions.
say to them that the compromise
| have to make under existing cir.
cumstances is aground your arms,
obey the laws acknowledge the
supremacy Of the constitution;
when YOU do that | will talk to
you about compromises" All
the compromise that | have to
make is the compromiSenof the
Constitution of the United States.
1t is one of the best compromises
that can be made. We lived I'M
der it from 1889 down to the Goth
OF December, 1860, when South
Carolina undertook to 90 out OF
the Union. We prospered; we
advanced in wealth, in commerce,
in agriculture, in trade, in manu-
features, in all the arts and scien.
ces, and in religion, more than
any people upon the face OF Gods
earth had ever donesbelore in the
same length Of time.
What better compromise do you
want ? You lived under it until
you got to be great and prosperous
people. 1t was made by our faith
ers and cemented by their blood.
When you talk to me about com.
promise, hold up to you the con
stitution under which YOU derived
all your greatness, and which was
made by the fathers ofyeur coun
try. 1t will protect you in all
yourirights.
