vile on the first of October. This L should
gladly accept. proceeding as 1t does, from a
much valued portion of my old ConeresSional
District but advancing years aud the pres
ent state of my health render 1t impossible,
You correctly estimate the deep interest
which feel, in common with the citizens who
will be there assembled, in the pIesent con-
dition of our country. This is indeed Sc
rious but our recent military reverses, so
far from producing dependency in the minds
of loyal and powerful people. will only an
innate them to more mighty exertlons IN sus-
tanning war which has become inevitable

For this reason were it possible for me to
address you, waving all other topics, should
confine myself to solemn and earnest appeal
to my countrymen, md especially those
without families. to volunteer for the war.
mud Join the many thousands of brave aud
patriotic volunteers who are already in the
field.
This is the moment for action ; for prompt
euerqetic and united action; and not fer the
discussion of peace propositions These. we
must know, would be rejected by the States
that have seceeded, unless we should offer to
recognize their independence, which is en-
tirely out of the question
Better councils may hereafter prevail,
when these people is convinced that the war
is conducted, not for their conquest or subju-
CATION, but solely for the purpose of bringing
them back to their original position IN the
Union, without impairiug in the slightest
degree any of their constitutional rights
Whilst, therefore, we shall cordially hail
their return under our common and glorious
flag, and welcome them as brothers, yet, un-
til that happy day shall arrive, it will be our
duty to support the President with all the
men aud means at the command of the coun-
try, in vigorous and successful prosecution
of the war Yours, very respectfully,
