The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1861-09-20

settling this question to the satisfaction |
Of all the world beyond the hitherto cx
pressed doubts and suspicious Of foreign
potcntOtcs, Statesmen and presscs, IL
have not the rcmotcst doubt: but that we
shall be required 70 exercise all Of those
higher attributes of which man Is capable;
patient and porsovering purpose, index
ihle will, mistaken fortitudo aud un-
shrinking courage, the already written
experience Of the past few months have
indicated. And il is the source Of the
heartiest congronlhtion that We can
already point 10 the brave deeds aud daa
ring and glorious actions Of onr noble
volunteers thus early, and feel within our
hearts that the number of these inyinci-
ble soldiers are only TO be increased and
their welfare and comfort considered and
cared for t0 the utmost uf our resources,
to have abundant evidence OF the success
which, though il may be temporarily
interrupted, must eventually perch upon
our banners.
It's the duty Of every man who can
bear arms at this juncturc, imperative
necessity ulonc prcycn;ing-whcn his
efforts should bo given in another dircc-
ton towards strengthening the cause aud
aiding the GuvCrnmUnt--tO rally to the
standard of his country, aud BE- contcntcd
among the heroes Of tho greatest a. IL
will be the most extraordinary revolution
since the world began. The struggle of
our ancestors was for soli-goycrnment,
Our struggle is 20 maintain IL, and under
the blessings Of the snmc God who smiled
upon Washington and his barelootcd and
half starved comrads, sec triN 10 a.
Those who cannot aid the cause in the
field may yet do much while pursuing
their ordinary oyocOtions; the sinews OF
war arc needed, and these they may help
to contribute, every man us far us his
means will warrant, and there should
scarcely be limit TO this when II Is con-
sidercd that -four government Is destroy.
cd, property will have Lost whntevCi
value its free institutions and enlightened
laws conferred. In this view the National
Loan, based upon such security Us under
| lies the existence Of the Federal Govern
ment aud the value Of all property, and
TO which no other species of security can
at all approximate in value, should be Rs
literally subscribed to as 80 much of a lien
on life, for what Is life worth without
liberty And is not liberty to be purchus-
ed and secured at every cost The char.
actor Of the National Loan is such that
nearly oil clusses may participate in il
subscription, and il Is better that ten mel
should subscribe to a 81 900 Of its notes
than that the honor und profit should ial
10 one. ..
Our system Of taxation may roquir
revision; as 1t now operates some escapl
who should DO found, while others suiie
whose burthens should bo lightened.-
Equality, that, like the dews Of heaven
each may bear, in proportion, his jus
share, is what is required and what
should be our aim to secure.
The unprepared state in which In
opening Of the war found our State Cor
0rnment, naturally created many obsticle
no little confusion, much delay, an
many trying and peculiarly annoying di
ticulties 10 both the Executive and th
people. am happy to believe that thes
obstacles are now mainly removed.
II shall be my aim to give the utmo'
support 20 the National Government
concciving the doctrine of Secession I
be entirely destructive Of our nationJ
existence, without which Il will be in
possible 10 govern ourselves, regOrdin
the original compact of the Federal Unio
not one Of States, but of people, and uC
herring to the never to be shaken belle
that they tho people --Ohd by this
mean the people of all the States, o
their representatives fairly elected an
delegated and assembled In Nationa
Convention have a. one the right, Rfte
the most liberal and enlarged debate, Z
determine its future destiny. Believing
that the masses of the South still low
the Union aud would, were they lei
untrammeled and unlorced, declare q
morrow their will for its continuance,
utterly repudiate the monstrous an
wicked plea and petition of the ring leader
Of this conspiracy, and would argue fo
war oternally until they were brought I
cOndign punishment, and their misguide
followers restored TO reason aud broulh
back to recognition Of the true purpC
ses and intentions of the Federal GOV
ernment, from which by Ortful, cunnin
and gross Misrepresentation, they haV
been misguided and blinded. | pray tn
time may not be long in it's approac
when our deceived Southern brethreI
shall be restored to their allegieHec, an
the more efectually the war is prosecuto
