JuuHc AiunuuA ulu we'll III LIE speech
On Saturday evening, IN charging upon the
Democratic party, or, rather, upon the
leaders Of 1ha! rlr1y, the delay in tho mill
tary operations Of the Government, where
by the finances Of the country have been
brought into such dcrangcmcnt and
whereby, also, the sacred cause for which
We contend has been SO fca fully impcriled
Sec whit retrospect blicf history pre-
senta: .
Wien the President calnc into power,
he found q divided North and rcbcllious
and warlike South, threatening not only
the continuance OF LIS Administration,
but the integrity Of the Union aud the
very existence Of free institutions The
peril was imminent, and thousands Of
good men who reason calmly and from the
promrtings Of the purest patriotism, feared
that he would not be abe, even with his
known wisdom, caution and forbcarancc,
TO suEmount the obstacles which stood in
lis way. The first and greatest ohjcc. to
bcattaincd was the unity Of the North, in
the work bcfnre him. TO secure this, 50
that while waginE war against the rebel
lion, tic should not he obliged to make war
upon the men, who, in the Free States, op-
posed his election, he vas compelled to
make extraordinary concessions in his
policy that ot}lrrEisc wcull hayc been viz
orous]y Republican, and, in the choice Of
officers to carry out that policy, to accept
the services Of those who had no
sympathy with the idea hich put him in
the Presidential chair and but little with the
distinctive institutions o. tile North. Hence,
while Kentucky ruled il: the council, West
Point aud General Scot. were lords para
mount in the field. To tue influence OF
the policy to which Mr.. Lincoln was forced,
not By threats, but by the situation aud its
surroundings, TO submit, and to the men
whom he was comrcllcl to choose to c2.rv
out that policy, such rs it was, all the de-
layBaud disastcr, all the humiliutions Of
national pride, and all the trials Of over
taxed patience, are due. Were they Repub-
hcans, who for whole year opposed
