President King Of Columbia College, being intro
duced to the audience, said:
FrLLow.CITIzEHs You see before yon man OF
| many years. Withdrawn by the nature OF bis pur-
suits from all political affairs but yet with heart
| that beats as warm toward the interest, and well
fare, and honor of the country as the youngest IN
this vast concourse. Cheers. come before you,
therefore, to speak in behalf OF cause common 10
every American heart. We are here to-day to CO.
operate in putting down the most wicked. wanton,
causeess rebellion that ever offended the Justice OF
God or stained the annals Of man. lAppl.usel we
have been called upon by those in authority to send
forth new regiments to the field, and recruits to the
old regiments whom the fortune Of war has deci-
mated, and we come together now to pledge our
selves thst far rs each one OF us Is concerned,
those csbhn not be wanting, and those regiments
shall be filled up. Can there be more sound cause
than this 7 Can anything appeal more strongly to
interests feelings, our honor, our PATRIOTISM
than this Can we submit to the shame and degrade
ton OF permitting our sons and our brothers who
have gone forth at their countrys CALL 10 stand ex
posed and unaided, to be cut down and decimaed by
the enemy, while we are calmly carrying on our
daily avocations at home [Cries Of No, No.
Surely not; it cannot he Cries of I" Never !
Neveri Let US resolve here, once for all, that
we will support our brothers in the feld.-thst we
will put everything at hazard to conquer the Rebel
lion and re-establish the Union. ICheers. We
have heretofore lacked in earnesness of purpose in
the conduct of the war. We have dealt too mildly
with thoee whom but q little while ago we
regarded ss our friends. They are no longer
friendf, but deadly enemies. They make war IN
earnest. They omit no means of STRENGTHENING their
hands and weakening They tight with no
remembrance that we were once brothers. Why,
then, should we remember it They fight us like
incarnate fends; let rs at least meet them o. our
deadIiest foes. lApPlause. Let us now go forth
and make the fierce and bloody as II Is posi-
! bic for civilized nstion 10 make 1t. No modera-
ton ia shown to u.s. let US show none to them. We
are far more powerful in numbers, and better pre-
| pared than our enemies. We have heretofore acted
too much on the defensive; let us now act on the
Offensive. [Cheers Let us henceforth strike rapid
| and constant bOws-blows that shall tell Let
no longer hear that the Army of the Potomac is
"safe." Safe Great God The army should be
triumphant. Loud applause. We have no crit.
cism to make. | only speak common sense when
ray that war IL n fierce game that they only pre-
vail who wage 1t in earnest. War cannot be waged
in silken gloves. When we send forth our armies,
it must be understood that they 90 to battle.

the man attempted to look very savage, but presently
he was hu.iled about and the white flag snatched
