said-Jadies and gentlemen, you have heard eio-
oueut speakers civilians and soldiers. Let touch
upon single point connected with the great topic
which occupies us. III | am not mistaken, we are
assembled here TO couDtenance suffering people that
come from the South. There are great many thugs
that distinguish the operation Of Slavery IN modern
times-Sayery, that great anachronism, ont OF time,
out of place, in the nineteenth century. lCheers.
1 Now one point which has always struck me-and
may say have had great deal Of experience on
that SUBJECTS this, that Slavery, because out OF
time and out of place, If adopted, II once pro-
claimed as a good thing, leads people invariably at
this time to great degree of vndictiveness. do
not know any period in history in which
any fanaticism has shown itself more vindictive
than Slavery at the present period. L know
very well that tho adherents OF Slavery do not
exactly resort TO all the tOrtures that former
centuries have resorted to, but in theory 1t is
more vindi tive than any fanaticism 1 know of
and any historian, or any qpe who has read the
chronicles Of former ages, can say II there IL any
thing that has been vindetive than Slavery Ia
at this moment IL is not enough TO cay that Slavery
existed at the time Of tie Declaration OF lndepen

To me there is something touching in them-men that
love that flag by which formerly every one used TO
swear. Allow me, Mr.. President, TO tell you
In regard TO that flag that few days ago received
a letter from Berlin, IN which was told that when,
At the last National Exhibition and celebration which
4 took place at Berlin, two United States flags were
unfurled there a shout heard such as never be-
fore was heard in all Germany. Enthusiastic eap.
plause.1 Well, this was not Newspaper article,
but il was a private letter. and every word was
meant to be true. Laughter.l But men from Hat
teras came here destitute. Now, If every one OF you
gives simply what bis impulse now induces him 10
give, il will lie good crop, and 1 hope they will
have the benefit Of it. As TO the Union and the con-
fct all these things have been spoken OF 30 well and

Mr. BAScRoFT-There cannot be the least doubt
bu, what the cultivated world s entirely 90 the
side OF the North but what the voice Of civilization,
the voice of progress the voice OF culture, the voice
Of Christianity OF love Of right of love OF humanity,
is on our side. ask you now TO hear a few words
from DIR. Adams.
The Rev. DIR. ADAMS said-Thsre are many as
poets ia which this war is presented to the human
and the poetic the esthetic the ANIMAL the patriotic
We all love pluck we all admire all bravery we
all do our homage 10 q noble sacrifice; we all OF us
resuond 10 that sentiment which comes to us from
the land where our last speaker first drew his BREATH
"whethsr It be on tho acsaold high,
Or In the battle. vsn
The proper place for man to die
10 where he dies q man." LArshteLI
But 1t seems TO me that at this moment we are
lifted far above these sentiments, noble as they are
we lifted up to the Christian standpoint. L re-
spond to the analysis that has been presented 20
by our eloquent friend tonight, TO the relations
Of mercy TO Justice And is not this the very idea
that il foremost in our thoughts : Have we not
been msligned Else, how can we account for
th, grand delusion which seems to have
swept over the South-over some Of those

are Christian churches and ministers in the
south who appeal 10 Divine Providence just as you
do 3' answer this: have no doubt they are
acting under false representations that ambitious
dss.aeogues like Stephens have imposed upon them"
the next thing cay in response to them is that

loud applause. In this controversy we appear
earnestly and truthuy to the Almighty. But have
we not been maligned What motive Is there In
our hearts ut this time but the UNFOLDING OF that
Constitutional Government, which we regard as the
benignant wing Of Providence. Is there anything
In tIat act inconsistent with our charity and kind
