Nv friends and fellow citizens, need not re-
mind you,-for the sad reality is upon US ALL
that VIC have fallen upon evil times need
not remind you that our beloved country Out d
few months ago SO united, SO peaceful, 30 proc
porous. to-day writhes and bends under the as
saults of a gigantic Rebellion, the most unnat-
ural, and most causeess and az the same time
| tie most remorseless, the most Cruel and the
most atrocious in all it's features, that has ever
risen to plague any nation or people. neeo
not remind you that your beloved country, OF
late 80 tranquil, and 50 benehcently dispensing
blessings untold with unsparing hand to all her
people, oday staggers as if ready to TALL, un
der the felon blows of fratricdal hands. say
! | have 10 occasion to remind you of this un-
happy condition of your country. You are re-
minded of it every day and every hour, in more
marked and impressive forms than any poor
words of mine The records OF the world g his
tory will be searched in vain for parallel TO
this stupendous crime. If we enquire whence
or wherefore, whence the origin and what the
motive Of this Rebellion, they are palpable, and
stamp its character If possible with a blAcker
ingratitude and with holder felony.
As we all know, this Rebellion had its origin,
and derives its chief support, from that section
of the country which has most largely enjoyed
lis blessings, which has most largely shared It's
honors and cmolunents ard rewards. These
were received from that Government which II
now seeks to overthrow and destroy. The Re
Delllon had its origin in that section OF the
country which has controlled the Legislation
and disposed OF the patronage OF the General
Government tor SevCn-Clghts OF the time since
its organization For the greater part of the
time, for more than seventy years, 1t has been
the boast of the South that they made the Pres
idents and Cabinets and judges and Foreign
Ministers, and all the local Federal officers, as
well as tue Federal statutes. And it is, after
all, the same section this rebellous section, that
has carried elections and defeated elections, for
times not few, by menaces Of disunion. From
time to time when any law has been passed or
proposed, when any measure OF public policy
has been adopted or proposed to be adopted.
when any Federal election has been made, or
pending proposition that it should be made,
which did not exactly suit the views or the fan
cies, or coincide with the schemes of the south
ern chiyalry, they have been in the habit of
threatening disuriou of the Government as the
consequence. That sort OF argument am sorry

This rebellion, in its spirit and ia its purpose,
has u remote origin, and dates much farther
back than the incoming of the present admins
tration, or the election of Mr.. Lincoln to the
Presidency. 1t lifted its lead and challenged
the authority of the Federal Government IN
1882 The question of the tariff was then used
as pretext; bu. Andrew jackson WAS then at
