Gus Applause The late Administration
had the power to put down this most
wicked rebellion in its beginning, by q
single fl, ,ctive blow. but it let the op-
portunity pass. The present Admins,
tratlon has come to point where it is
determined to put down this rebellion
by the strong hand. 1t has sought by
every means in the world to bring the
rebels back to t',clr duty. think it has
done right. 1t was bound to exhaust
every honorable means to CANCELLATION
before it resortcd to extreme measures.
do think, viewing the subiect from my
stand point, there never was more
causelcss and wicked rebellion. This
Government has given the South pros
perlty. security, peace. 1t did not in.
tiict blow until they became SO arrogant
and ovcrbcarug that war became neces
sity for national existence. They had
grown as no people ever did before,
cursed with such institutions as they
have. The Government has blessed
them with every valuable institution they
posse IS. 1t has protected them, support,
ed them, nourishcd them. And becausa
majority have exercised their constitu-
t'onal right and duty to control aud reg
ulate National affairs, they have declared
that if they could not rule they could
run.
Aud now my friends, what is our duty? ?
1t is this: WE MUST PUT DOWN RE-
BELLloN. Some gentlemen say 'Pcace.'
They say, "l ou cannot subdue aud sub
jugate the South, and have them live
peaccably with YOU" They say, 1.-The
South are determined to 60, and why not
let them 90 in peace p But when you
yield that much, you 81 ign the death
warrant OF our government If thc
Southern States may secelc to day, the
Northwestern States m1V to o,norrow. If
the South may rebel thi~ year. then Wv

trlne of secession anywhere, and 20,
leave no life, no vitality in your Who'll,
system of Government 1t sinks at one,
from the rank of nations, becomes wha,
Mexico is, II kissing and a byword, and
leaves you no security for life, liberty o,
property. 1t cannot be in the nature Q.
things. There are hat two ways: You
must either pat the rebels down, or the
rebels will put you down. You canuot
compromise with them. You cannot
establish peace with them. You cannot

There are some strange characteristics
in this contest. We are in the habit OF
attributlng to our Southern friends
honor, chivalry, highmindeducss and
they attribute to US avaricc, cowardicc
venallty. And yet, underlying all this
there are sLown to be the contrary at.
tributes in each. What is the theory o.
this rebellion! What uudcrlies it? The
very gIosscst matcriaIism; the theory that
no man has any higher motive to action
than the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of self The
South said "Cotton is KIM :" They
said if war were inaugurated, the pockets
Of the North would suffer They said
you would lose your markets for manu-,
factuted and agricultural products, that
your factories would be closed in the
East, that the grain in your storchouses
would rot in the West, and that you
would thus be brought to terms. All
this showed what they believed to be
the governing principle in the North -
How has this been met! How have the
people Of the North met this question
when it was forced upon them? When
your trade was brought low, your marts
closed, and your shipping lying idle in
the harbors, how was this question met?
How did you respond to the call Of the
President to rally around the Notional
F'lsg. The world has never seen a spec
tac.e such as has been exhibited by the
people of the North in the support of
this Government since the commence
ment Of this war.
1t is shown to be untrue that Cotton
is King. Pennsylvania might as well
claim that Coal is King New York
might as well claim that foml-crce is
King. The great Nort' west might
equally assume that Corn is King. But
all these claims are untrue and it brings
US back again to the Bible truth that
there is but one King, the Ever Living
God, and Him onl y should we serve -
Applause We have faith in him; and
it is around this faith that our sentiments
OF Right; Justice, and Truth will forever
cluster Before that faith Southern
