be found in the laws and under the flag of
the Union. Looking around me tonight
I say to the gallant and patriotic soldiers
who bear this flag, " Welcome, welcome,
thrice welcome, defenders of the Union!'
On with your glorious work. and in the
face OF all opposition, even at the point of
the sword and bayonet, and amid the roar
and crash of battle, let the Government
of Washington be defended. We have
heard these troops called Northern inva-
ders and Hessians, but we have seen and
compared the rebel and patriot armies
The first spread horror and desolation
among us, and the latter have been law
abiding and orderly, and have been pro-
lection to the people.
The rebellion is animated and controll-
ed by the worst spirit that ever filed the
bosom of man. With singular audacity
or ignorance, some persons pretended to
compare the rebellion of 1861 with that
of 1776. How preposterous and absurd!
There is not the remotest analogy between
them They were, on the contrary, the
very antipades of each other. The old
revolution was to establish and perpetuate
/ freedom, but this one was to subvert and
destroy it, and make us the vassals OF
| France and Great Britain. The modern
revolution would, if possible, reduce US to
/ the very. .seryitude from which the former
delivered us. The spirit of rebellion was
/ fendiSh, proud, cruel and lawless. TWAS
j so from the day when the Devil raised the
/ standard of revolt in heaven, and warred
with Michael the Archangel, for the ST.
premacy of the skies. We are told that
the Devil was conquered, an chained in
the internal pit, but that he was to be let
/ loose for a season. If ever the devil was
let loose in the world, l believe that now
is the time, and that he is actuating this
Southern rebellion. Yet men a0kO hare

to talk Of tyranny and oppression! How

has it been since men were driven from
