/ Chat address, and found, while Ihere was no CON
deunnatlon Of the rebellion, shat there was bit
ter denunoiation Of the true men Of fthe North
and of Mr. LlucoIn's administration Who
can tell how that address animated the heart,
And etrepgthened the arms Of the rebels Il
otrike another and more deadly blow at the
hearts OF our brothers and sons 2 Who can de-

dress, insIe cad Of striking at the traitors, is 70

Mr.. MoRRis thus comments on the foregoing
dissertation OF Mr. EDaERron, and with ihe fol-
lowing extract we close our preaent review Of
Mr.. Me- able speech ltN& %l -
The gentleman has drawn upon his imagine
tion for number of questions, to which he has
vouohsafed no ansWere, well knowing he could
give one satisfactory to himself without gath
ering them from the same fruitful source--his
Imagination. could say, with much more
truth and force, that In that address the leaders
of the rebels see the downfall Of their mad
and wicked schemes, for il says to all their de-
luded followers, as we'll as to all the people,
North and South, there is party In the country
who desire the restoration Of the Union as IL
was, and the maintenance of the Constitution
as il is; who say "that the war Is not TO be
waged on the part Of the Government In any
spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose Of con-
gust or subjugaton. nor for the purpose OF over
throwing OF interfering with the rights or es-
tablished institutions OF the States, but to de-
fend and maintain the supremacy Of the Con-
sttution, and to preserve the Union with all the
dignity equality and rights OF the several States
unlmpaired, aud that ae soon as these objects
are accomplished the war ought 10 cease"
When the masses of the Southern people be-
come satisfied that these are the objects OF tho
war and Of the Northern people, then, indeed,
may JEFF. Davis and the leaders OF the rebel
lion nemble; then will his deluded followers
hurl from power their wicked leaders, and re-
turn to their allegiance beneath the ample folds
of the Stars and Stripes
Sir, let me PROFOUND few interrogstoiies.
"Who knows the exultation andjoy With which"
abolition speeches are "fead In the camps OF
the secessionists," enabling their leaders to say
to the soldery, "bere is foreshadowed the policy
to be pursued BY the Republican partyf" "Who
can describe the thrill OF delight which, runs
through" the hearts of JEFF Davis and his
rebel Congress- when they hear of our emancIpa.
tion acts and say, "this Is but the beginning OF
that emancipation which legitimately follows
Republican rule7" "Who can tell how" the
declaration of Republican members, that 'eitheT
slavery or the Union must ptri'h," Eliminates
the hearts and strengthens the arms Of the reb.
els to strike another and more deadly blow ct
the hearts of our brothers and sonsf" "Who
can deny that the whole tenor and effect OF
our legislation, "instead Of striking OF the trait
ors, 10 to bolster up their cause and strengthen
their hands against the Government" BY enab-
ling them to say, sin this or that speech or res
olutiOn or bill or law, 10 1t boldly claimed that
we of the South are to be utterly subjugated,
held and governed as conquered provinces, the
lives of oil our male citizens sacrificed upon the
galloWs, all our property Of every kind and de-
scrption couHscated, and our wives and children
to become vagabonde, houseless and homeless,
wanderers upon the face of the earth1" Is not
this fascinating picture for the phllGnthropist
and the Christian to contemplated Sir, am
not justified in thus stating these propositions
and propounding these interrogatories when my
loyalty is called in question because ! differ
