done and Is now doing more to encourage
the endurance and perseverance Of this re-
belliOn than all the sympathies of England
and France combined, and that such is the
public judgment-moret than all the vessels
that have run the blockade together. The
South knew the old Democratic Party of
this State as party of power and influence.
They hope and believe this faction is its
successor, and possesses some ofits elements
and Influences, and await its triumph. Could
the murderOus tatterClemalions of rebellion
who are described as reeking with a rank
compound of villainous smells, shaggy with
shreds of what were clothing, and creeping
with vermn, attend our polls, they would
give this ticket unanimous vote. Could
it succeed, Jefferson Davis would proclaim
another day of thanksgiving, though it
might be kept in fasting and illuminating
Richmond and well he might, for its sue
cess would be more hurttul to the cause Of
the Union than the loss Of the army of the
Potomac and the capture and the sacking
Of Washington. Applause.
Let those who take the sword perish with
the sword, is my doctrine, and let those
who raise a rebelious army against the Con-
sttution, take just such aid and comfort as
martial law and the war power, in their ut
most rigOr mcte out them, whether it be
hemp, or steel, or lead or confiscation Of
property. Applause. If slaves are prop,
crty, they are subject to the same rules a.
other property, and Shoule be treated accord

and should be no mystifcation over it. |
early saw that rebellion, if long continued,
would end in emancipation-tha from a
necessity emancipation was to enter into
the question, for rs the rebellion progressed
and declined, and was on its last legs, it
would at the last moment liberate the slaves
in its desperation, if events had not sooner
practically done so, or emancipation had
not then been proclaimed by the Federal
Governmenment. | would have preferred
practical and real acts in the premises as
occasions demanded, under martial law "a

tor hold the war power abundant, and
legislation unnecessary; but the President

would have preferred to see how it would
work in the last few months of the old year
to the first day of the new. TApplause. I

! Applause. The institution has been over
worked, and can no longer form political
capital on either side, of which politicians OF
both shades will please take notice. It is
to pass away during the present struggle,
especially if long continued, and as an ele-
ment OF mischief and disturbance, and as a
just retributiOn to those who have taken up
arms against the Government in its name
for vile political ends, it has my permission
to start at the earliest moment possible, and
to make the exodus a complete one. One
such Government is worth all the slavery
that has exested since Joseph was sold into
Egypt Great applause. If rebellion
wishes to avoid these results and to invoke
the Constitution, let it acknowledge it's SUI
premacy, embrace the olive branch extend
ed by the President, and lay down its arms
and close its work of treason and murder
The cry that released contrabands are com.
ing North is for political effect, and to Sc
cure votes from alarmed laborers. re- Yes y
When slavery is no longer recognized in
the Southern States, the coored race will
not struggle for the cold North to compete
with our laborers, but those now with us
will seek more congenial cline in the
sunny South, where the climate is more
agreeable, and the labor and productions
better suited to their wants and tastes and
habits. RS Yes, yes."1
The following is from the CONCLUDING
portion of Mr.. Dickinson's remarks:
1t (the rebellion) is struggling on in the
hope that this peace party may gain the as.
c'~dency, when it expects to be forgiven
tor Its treason, have murder washed from
their bloody hands, and be rewarded for its
ylllalny by liberal propositions. T" Shame. y
This party, with its propositions of peace
having been exposed, abashed and inglori
ousy overthrown last year. has covered it,
framework this, with a veneering of diff
ferent shade, but quite too fimsy to deceive
discerning and loyal people. Like tn,
r cat i'll the fable, it has whitewashed its Goa
, but the teeth and claws are plainly discern
, able. Applause.1 Call back your sons.

S at home and the rebellion abroad together
} Rebellion has lost faith in expecting foreign

Even Disraeli, whom O'ConnelI said was
regular lineal descendant of the hardened

Its hope now rests in the aid and smpath,
J it can command in the loyal States, to saw
it from the condign punishment and ignob
end which awaits it, and looks more to thu
success of this ticket to-day than to the ex

your sons, say again, or crush this politi

lideous monster sees us united as one man
, in one common purpose to crush it, it vii

like the writings of venemous serpent

yielded, but for hope ofpropositions ofpeac
