Ny follow-Democrats, supposing there
are any such in my hearing, Cries, "There

had been elected, and Sumner, and Garrison,
and Wendell Phillips, and the Abolition
lists of tho New England States generally
had started a rebellion against the author

been done9 would have done as l am

my countrymen to put them down by force
Of arms. Cheers, and cries Of "Good." -
Now, why not treat Southern rebellion just
as you would have treated Northern rebel

comes from, put it down forever. Cheers. |

SOUTHERN HOBBY RIDERS.
The election of a political opponent is
never cause of Secession or for disturbance
and if those Secession leaders had opposed
Mr., Lincoln's election from the timo Of the
Charleston Convention with half the perti-
nacity and force that did, he never would
have been elected. Icharge in all my pub
lie speeches that they connived at that
election; and the same has been charged
homo upon them by their own people in
the South. Their time had come. 1t must
go, or they would be ruined. They remind
one Of little boys who want to ride horse
Those in the city get them a hobby-horse
and they can ride that. Country boys ge
astride of stick, and ride that. This kno
} of office seekers failing to get horse tc
ride, or even hobby, have mounted this
, poor stick of Southern Coufederacy, anC
, are riding that. 1t is Just such ambition a.

Who are these men in arms against tn

only with the blood of Northern, but

9 to CRAFTY present personal piquo and
