Edward Everett on the War;
Mr.. Everett made an eloquent speech
ut the meeting in Boston ON Saturday.
After arguing the imperative, .neces-l
sity of immediate rcinforcements to our
army. and eulogizing the spirit of our
people, who have put into the field a

And here you sec, fellow-citizens, the.
eXtravagant injustice of the journalists

humanity they tell JUS, requires that
this civil war should stop. and the indie
