Judge Birch's Speech.

Quite .. crowd assembled on Market
Square last night to hear the candidate for
the Office Of Governor. Judge Birch made
a speech Of the usual length. depth, and.
1--WE thought thickness. which we have
not space Is report. He declared that he
would give more for one hour of our dead
Douglas in the present crisis than Q year
of the rule of such men % are now in
Washington. He secuted the idea that
slavery was the cause of the war. He
said it was the internal operations of
Northern agitators that produced this
trouble. There were men in the South
who. since Jsckson's time. had been
watching for pretext to dissolve the
Union. The Giddings, the Beechers, &c.,
had furnished the Southern traitors with
q text. and right we'll they had preached
from It.
A gent. asked him il Giddings ever had
. respectable party with him. and be re-
piled that he had party enough to receive
the appointment from Lincoln of Consul
to foreign country. This drought down

be declared himself in favor of Lincoln.
We confess We did not see the point, un-
less it Was that Lincoln belonged to the
Giddings party which caused all this re-
bellion. He spoke for an hour in favor
Of receiving back returned rebels, which
seemed to take remarkably we'll with the
few Of that class who constantly cheered
him. This part Of his effort looked very
much like an attempt to get their votes.
To prove that the men from the North
brought all this trouble upon us. be de-
clared that Douglas said that Davis and
other Southern Congrsssmsu had declared
in Council that they would stop oil this
difficulty If Congress would pass the
Crittenden Compromise. We then ask
cd him It those very Southerusrs did not,
while members Of that Congress. BY their
non-action defeat that Compromise. He.
Of course. had to reply that they did. but
be said. what 10 true. that the reason they
gave for doing 90 was that the Compro-
mise ought to have been the free-will Of
fering Of the North, and when it came in |
that Shape. and not till then, would they
accept It.
He said that because be did not believe |
