Now, fellow c'lizrns, have somewhat TO say

General, George B. Mcclellan. If he is not

There are two rebellions against il. That Of

The other is that of the Abolitionists of the
North. Every man must choose phich he 1cjH

weight against the enlistment of troops. | have
my opinion abont the suppression of the rebel
lion, and will cling to IT, Other men control
the powers of the uaton, who think the right
way to restore the nation is by the force of
arms.
Now, have laid down this principle for my
self, and have not voted for an army bill or
navy bill, or appropriation bill, for this war and
have not voted against any such bill, since the
4th of July, 1861. appeal to the Globe for
record OF my votes. Now, if any man thinks
the Union can be restored by war, and feels like
it, tell him it is his duty to enlist. Every man
should follow out the dictates of his own con.
science, and if he thinks he ought to fight the
Abolition rebellion he should do it
Let me ask you a few questions. Occupying
the position of Representative, and exempt by .
law from service | think my duty is to stay at
home and fight the Abolition rebels OF the North !
for both rebellions should be put down. | leave
it 10 thes89ay, ard the Generals at the head of
the army, to attend to the rebels OF the South
Out propose In the xecise of my constitu-
uonai rights, which cannot and shall not be TAX
en from me, 10 put down this rebellion; and if
any man tn'nRs ne should stay at home to put
down Abolition rebels, he ought to do It.
Now said the Democratic party saved THE
country. am party man - will continue so,
