rebellion, covered n, oves With crime,
driven to the last extremity-its leaders
in the pillory OF the public execration-
deserted By "pesce" friends, Who have

hear . great voice lifted, the voice OF .
united people, saying, Amen.
From this day forth We should Get
battle in array against the tssiton. Let
the old men counsel, and let the young
men enlist for the wsr. Let fair womep,

cause and let her encourage lover and

work. When al 10 accomplished-
when the war il over, and rebellion
subdued, ask the "peace" men to come
back, aud look them in the face and ask
them if they Object to what has been
done; If they object to the restoration
Of the Union and the preservation Of the
Constitution Then let them hold up
their rattle. box Of party, and play With
it all their lives if they wish.
1t is our purpose to vindicate the
strength Of the Government and the in
tegrity Of the Convention. This We will
do or perish. !, for one, will
!. Ia victory exult, or in death b laid low,
with my bask % the Geld. and ny feet to
: speak akin TO . spirit Of prophecy.
II have been young, and am old, and
have not seen the righteous forsakeu,
nor his seed begging bread"
Ihave, by the favor of my fellow citi-
zens, stood in the high places Of the
Government, and have been the peer,
officially, of the greatest men America
has produced. Yet l never have felt 90
proud a. shen permitted to invoke my
fellow citizens, ~ now do, to rally TO
the support Of the Constitution and the
laws, and l had rather do that Office
than to enjoy every place and every
honor that Government can beetow.
[AppIause. lam confident and hopeful.
l see the day-star Of hope in the dis
lance. This contest will result a. loyal
men wish it tn result. Then where will
be the "peace" mens II they do not
escape to the city Of refuge soon, their
very graves will be dishonored. Ifthey
do not soon lay hold of the horns of the
altar they will be lost-and some of the
wickedest Of them will I've if they do.
The 'peace men" must realize that
there is endless punishment on earth
there is . worm that never dies-the
worm of remorse which every peace
man carries in his bosom. All from
false pride. Because you happened to
say secession once, you will not let 60
OF it. Hold on; there are enough with.
ont you. Laughter.] You will be pre-.
served IS specimens Of the geology Of
the nineteenth century-worth more ia
look at than those places overun with
lava-as you will be laughter ]-Pom.
poi; and Harcnlaneum.
Why did you not come up like men
to the support Of the Government
Because you desired to drag in party
and gain place. The whole country has
despised you and laughed you to scorn.
The country, after it has got Govern.
ment to sustain. will begin to think
about dividing into parties concerning
its administration. You "peaee" men
might as we'll attempt to draw out Leyi-
athan with hook and pierce bis jaw
with thorn, as to arrest the waves Of
public opinion.
No one opposed the election Of the
present Authorization more vigorously
that ], but nov it represents the country.
and Istay it up with both hands. Party
men are trying to drive me away.
When they are through, shall ask
them how much they have accomplished.
shall raise my voice ea,ly and late
in all times and places, wherever l can
get . crowd to hear me, and / shall fitly
characterize this domestic rebellion, this
thing which crawls upon it's belly and
eats dirt.
When the American people come TO
epeak-notw Notwithstanding the political
prejudice which has pervaded the coun.
try like the frogs and lice of Egypt,
coming into the beds, and ovens, and
kueadiug trough-notwithstaDding this
aoodtide Of prejudice, it will be found
that multitude greater than man can
number, think alike, have overcome
their prejudice, and will sweep away re-
bellio0, and cover with shame and con-
fusion those who connive at it. Conr.
age! courage! Onward against rebel.
lion 10 the word. Onward to strengthen
the hands Of the Administration to put
down rebellion ct home; to re-establish
Law and order.
Ds. G. B. Winship. the strong man,
has developed his strength to such %
enormous degree, that he advertises ia
