it as either. II no more p~artekes Of Adolf

1t is to make war upon the South foT that p1r.

Immediately after the speech Of Col. Coch-
,rane there was a tumultuous demand for tho
Secretary of War. Mr.. Cameron came before
the regiment and said:
SOLDIERS: 1t is too late for me to make you
q speech tonight, but will say ! heartily ap-
prove every sentiment uttered by your noble
commander. Tho doctrines he has laid down

Federal Constitution. 1t is idle to talk about
treating with these rebels on their own terms.
We mus: meet them as our enemies, troat them
as our enemies, and punish them as enemies,
until they shall have learned to behave them
selves. Every means which God has placed IN
Our hands it is our duty to use for the protec.

Gentlemen: | shall not conceal the f.ct that
in some respects | differ from my cDrnpeers in

iers. Of course, 10 slavery-th0 cause uf all

issued all our national troubles.
My creed is, let slavery and slaves take care

Astounding az it may seem to you, soldiers
OF Indiana, yet is g fuct repeatedly demonstra.
ted that Il heavier blow is dealt out to the

Abiuct from the same family u slave and kill

for which there is 10 healing balm. | could
bring forward more than n thousand witnesses
whose observation and experience have taught

II, then, by allowing the slave to fall into the

of liberty, we avoid bloodshed and strike death.

Gentlemen, my logic teaches me that We
cannot defend and make war upon the same
persons at the sanls time. If ii is the purpose
Of the Government to crush the rebels and
keep their slaves from stalnpsting, two armies
should be sent into the FIELD.
The advance force might be called the Urea
son crushing Army, gnd should be armed With
offensive weapons. The other should move
about ten miles in the rear, and be called the
Slsvery.restoring Army i! should be clad in
a defensive or triple steel, Tor such IS the
neanncss Of spirit which is bred in the hearts
of men by slave breeding, slave-holding,
slavs-irading, that the masters would creep
into every place of ambush and fire upon the
men who were gathering up and returning
the fugitive property. II WOulo DC llee'tnatc
fo7 the Slavery.restoring Army to return the
iire-lhe shot might pierce tho heart Of some
| OF the pe:s and darlings fur whom they were
generously acting.
Therefore, give them tho defensive srror,
but no offensive srapaEs. Such An arrange

which moves with O force sufficient 10 crush
this huge rebellion. Ia my opinion the second
army should De as numerous Is the hrst.--
Preserving Slavery will cost The Government
ten lines as much as crushing the rebellion
