If the people, he adGcd. have not al.
fiction enough for the Government to
fight for il, il must fail. 1t, was the only
free Government in the world. It's pros.
pcrity had been marvellous. Il was pc
culiarly the country Of the poor man,
and of the foreigner. who was oppressed
in his native land. II stretches it's pro
tecting egis over them--diffuses its
blessings over all alike, offers its rewards
to rich and poor who SEEK them faithful.
ly. No other Government on earth has
done so much for the people, and iii fails
the principle Of free government dies with
it II has done more than realized al! the
hopes Of It's most sangune founders.
Therefore, every msn. native or foreign
born. should hazard everything for it. If
it fails, the hope and glory Of the world
is gone. But let US remember that il we
sustain it now. not they who survive bat
tie will enjoy iis blessings. bat their
children and their latest posterity will en-
10y them and bless their patriot fathers as
We bless ours for the priceless git.
What sacrifices then shall We make?
We must make many. No country in the
world ever weut through snch scourgc
as this without great sacrifices Of person
and property. We must make them for
the sake Of peace. After the most careful
reflection lie had been able to make upon
the subject, Judge Ranney said that he
believed we can reach lbe haven Of peace
only through war, And the sooner and
sharper you make the effort J ou will have
peace.
He had not much hope in this contest
il it became necessary to resort to draft
ing. The moral force Of free government
, will be lost. 1t is based upon Tie patrio
tism oil the people. He had thanked Goo
that Europe had already Witnessed the
, spec acle of five or six hundred Thousand
4 freemen spripgiUg to arms almost at th'
blast of a trumpet, to defend their out
4 ragged laws Let US still say the ma
lions Of the earth that when our armie
q melt away. we viii fill tEom up again.
:. None ofyour Interference. The bones @
A our falhers lie under this soil. With th
:, blessing of God we will maintain wins
q they gave US.
In conclusion lie paid glowing tribut
a to the glory Of the great West and he
y hardy sons. Referring to her growtl
: prosperity, industry, population, reSouI
:. ces, he held that it was the duty Of th
people to maintain communications bt
tweeh the West and The external worl
:. through the natural outlets; and (wit
great earnestness) before he would allo
!, The Mississippi to be closed he wou
rather bury the last man in the West.
i'd Tremendous applause. a .a..
III adj. HON. SAM GALLOWAY a..1
Mt Followed in an electrifying speech of HI
al 40 hour. 1t was one of his very b.
n. popular efforts. Ofcourse. it would
lie superhuous TO inform readers that N
