Friends in the different localities will
give the requisite notice and arrange for
he speaking.
Resume of Gov. Wright's speech,
The Gov. commenced by saying that he
need not admonish the audience of the in
terest that all patriots felt in the present
period. The circumstances by which we
are surrounded, indicate an important cri-
sis. He had often addressed the people of
Vanderburgh during the last 20 years, bat
mostly on political topics. He came not
now to talk of politics or of party, but to
give reason for the faith within him.
His FIRST proposition was, that in time of
war, opposition to the administration, in
evitsbly ended in opposition to the war.
In time of peace, when political parties
divide the people we can afford 20 differ
The people can discuss questions of policy
and political economy, in spirit of kind
ness aud friendship, but in times of war
the organization of parties was fraught with
the worst of evils.
Thirty years ago Wings and Democrats
could differ and act and vote in opposition
to each other without any bitterness of
geeling. Now the man who organized
party in opposition to the war, was the
worst enemy to the government and the
people.
During the war of 1872. a party was or
ganizsd in opposition to the administra-
ton, and it ended in open opposite to the
war, and its originators and its partigans
were crushed by the force f public opin-
ion. The same was tru5 II the history of
the Mexican War. In time of war we
want peace, We want no parties, and if a
man is honest be will not ask who brought
on the war. This is not the question of a
patriot. An honest man will only ask how
can the country be saved. The man who
now talks of party is trying to deceive the
people. You do not want party; you want
the blessings of peace as your fathers did.
You want to know your duty to your coun-
try in this hour of its deadly peril
He said be bad determined the route he
would travel more than year ago in Ber-
lin. He had made up his mind, after jeff
Davis had issued hig message, that he
would know no party OF creed till the re-
beliion was put down.
If we have parties now we can have ne
peace. II you have neighbor who oppo-
ses the administration, who opposes taxes,
who opposes the war, you can have no
peace with him. You distrust him.
The Gov. said he spoke for no party
He was entirely independent and spoke for
Joseph A. Wright alone.
off oau naint vOur minds 70 uou- d,
ty to your country, will have attained my
object"
Some men say this Union party is Re.
publican party. But when be says this,
be wants to deceive you. | ask you to-day
what five men have now the most power in
this Government They are Abraham
Lincoln, Gen. Halleck, E. NJ. Stanton, Gen.
Mcclellan and Gen. Pope. These FIVE men
have more TO do ia maintaining this gov
eminent than any other five men it, If
any one OF these men is traitor, be may
betray and ruin you. Four of these are
democrats, and Abraham Lincoln gave
them their power. Are you not willing to
trust them2 What should you think of
the man who denounces the administration
Of our noble Governor and of Abraham
Lincoln He is no friend to his govern
ment or to his country"
The Governor then of spoke Of the recent
letter OF President Lincoln 10 Horace Gree
ley as the emenation of true patriot, and
such letter as all true patriots can
cheerfully endorse.
"But another man says another thing,
and when they can say nothing else they
whisper Ia your ear that this administra.
ton is aboiitionzed-that this is an aboli.
ton war. They won't say it publicly
they insidiousy whisper it about appeal
ing to the passions, prejudices and igno-
rance of the people.
The Governor then read from the Nah
vile Union to show how Southern Union
men regarded this question. His speech
made in the Senate during the last session
of Congress, had been published in the
Union and other loyal papers ia he South,
but not one of the organs of the 9th of JAM
uary party dared publish it. ST.
"rhere are several great questions to
settle in October. eF fnc6a2
If you believe that man who rebels
against his country has any rights under
the constitution and laws of that country,
you should vote the Sth-of- January ticket,
He need not say he is traitor and take IN
arms against his country. If be throws
difficulties ia the the way Of the govern
ment in time of war aud attempts 10 divide
the loyal people of the conntry,s he ia !
traitor. If you think he has none of these
rights, then vote ASH do. arcs
Every one of these sth-of.J January mer
voted against The. confscation bill, or are
opposed to it, sess e = es
The Governor then explained and vindi
Gated the con6scation bill.
"Tbis government he said was made fol
loyal men. Traitors against the govern.
ment have noright to either life or pro.
perry under that government. Loyal men
should be protected and traitors punished
We should do everything necessary to
