happy, contented people. Arplause.l
You will never know the Herculanean
e. ergies We have displayed. Let me paint
The picture in my own way. We have
nine armies, under nine Generals, COM
posing q force equal to nine Waterloos,
dozen Austerlitzes, two Moscows, and
larger than all the fprces of all the nations
that gave battle at Crimea, TOh.1 To
give you the idea Of it's magnitude, Twill
change the battle ground.
Old .Englsnd shall represent New Eng
land; and all Europe shall be the field Of
action. Time ofpreparation, six months /;
resources all our own. With the sympa.
thies Of England and the world against Us,
we have placed 10000 men under Gen.
Butler, at Constradt; 10000 under Gen.
Sherman, at Hamburg; 10000 under
Gen. Burnside, at Amsterdam 10000
under Gen. Hslleck, at Odessa 10000
under Gen Hunter, blockading Vienna on
the Danube 40, 600 under Gen. Buell.,
=. Trieste; $4,000 under Gen. Grant, at
Marseilles; 10000 under Gen. Banks, on
the Belgian coast leaving 80, 600 under
Gen. Mcclellan, on the French shore, af-
ter crossing the Potomac Of the channel.
Hear. hear. The distances in my pic
turc are not SO unequal, although popula-
tions, fortressss, and languages are differ
ent. Remember that England is the
point from which l take my sketch. Aus
tralia is the California, with another Union
army for the Pacific shore. All those
points protected, We have England still
to represent the great Union party in our
Northern country, with five millions more
of armed men, ready 10 plunge into bat
tie in defense of the Nations life. Loud

In America, as in England, there is an
uncoiled spring Of magnetic intelligence,
