maSmaS threaten, there they have been.
They shall not be left alone.
All Switzerland is in the field. We must
be there, shoulder to shoulder with those gal
liant boys. He paid tribute to their gallant
conduct, and hoped all at home would aid the
business of recruiting, and not ask him to
force commissions from the state house ma
chine upon men who have staid at home A
year and half after the war broke out. but
rather to give them to the brave young men
who have been so long in the service. Great
cheerlng.) So he had thought it his duty to
see that the thirty fourth regiment should
march to glory and camp in safety, under
colonel who should be their father-their
model OF hero. They should charge as one
man, solid and firm, victory on their banners,
and death on their bayonets, under the oldest
lieutenant colonel of Massachusetts volun-
teers, whose white plume had been the signal
of victory to his soldiers wherever their eyes
had behold it.
The governor said he tried to do his duty
in this crisis. He believed as Gen. Mitchell
said the other day that the first thing every
honest man should believe in is himself, and
should trust his own faculties. Every man
must bear his own burdens. He had the
fullest confidence that the people will sustain
every burden and perform every work of duty
with generous confidence, always hopeful and
serene. He urged men to go into the old
regiments and to be willing to take the old
soldiers of tried bravery for officers. The
governor explained that those who enlist in
the old regiments will be held to the service
only so long as the regiment is kept in the
field. He had authority from the war depart
ment to make this statement.
In closing Gov. Andrew reviewed the part
nv L., al.
tribute to the 9th regiment, to Deyens and
Briggs, and paying especial eulogy to Col
Cass and the 9Th regiment. Now, said he,
will you come and stand by the cause There
is the 18th under its gallant leader Kimball;
never hear Of it but in praise. VIII not
you who have friends and neighbors there go
and stand by them? There is the 25th led by
the gallant and noble Upton, and in the di-
vision of the Rhode Island hero, Burnside.
There is the 2lst under Col. Clark. Those
young men who moved grain in 1861 moved
in the year following vast swarths of their
countrys foes and are still marching on, and
wherever they go they never falter, never
quail. Accumulated piles of evidence show
the patient endurance of those men.
Fathers, will you hold back your sons?
On, send them out with your blessings that
they may live for country, or die on the bed
OF glory. Mothers, | know that you are like
other mothers | have known, and would rath-
er see your boy return upon the shield he
bore than be recreant to his country. Your
children, if they were old enough to cast the
horoscope of the future would ask you to CO.
Ministers speak out to-day, not merely for
national honor, but for freedom and prosperi-
ty and call upon young men from your flock
to fight the battles of universal humanity. l
know that the angel of the Lord, one foot on
the earth and one ON the sea, will pro-
claim In unanswerable language, that four
millions of bondmen shall ere long be
slaves no longer. We live in
war not a riot as we thought last year, a half
million in the field against an atrociouss and
rebehious foe. Our government now recog-
nize it as a war, and the president of the
United States, Illuminating his war orders has
blown blast before which the enemy must
fly. Rebellion must fall, and they who have
stood upon the necks OF so many bondsmen
snail be swept away and four million souls
rise to Immortality
"Ah, foul tyrants! do YOU hear him where he
comes!
All, black traitors! do ye know him as he comes?
In tile thunder OF the cannon and roll of the drums,
As we go marching on,
Men may die and moulder in the dust
Men may die and arise again from dust
shoulder TO shoulder, i'll the ranks of the just,
When God IS marching on"
The governor closed his eloquent speech
by beautiful tribute to the brave dead. pay
ing personal tribute of friendship to the
young Lieut.. Putnam
Hon. \. II. Bullock arose and said he
would move there be another speech, provided
it be good one, and for that purpose. he
would exercise the power which had been del
egated to him by the mayor, and introduce
John B. Cough to the audience.
Mr. Cough responded in his inimitabe man
ner, in words burning with the fire of elo-
| quence and patriotism. Urging enlistments,
and more thoroughness and energy on the
part OF the government in the prosecution of
the war, he said he would go himself if he
thought the examining surgeon would accept
him. The result of the struggle would be
victory and liberty, or defeat and subjuga-
ton and death There was no doubling which
it would be if we did our duty. He COM
mended the governor for his honest and en-
phatlc declarations of Massachusetts senti-
ment against the great cause of the war, that
accursed institution for which Jefferson said
the Almighty had no attribute which
could side with when crisis like the
present should rise, the issue being
between freedom on the one side and
slavery on the other. Let the right blow be
struck, and the hydra-hcaded monster of
slavery crippled, and the enemy would not
show its head again.
Mr. I. w. Wellington who has two sons
IN the war, arose, and authorized the MAYOR to
put down his name, as pledged to go himself
or furnish substitute. Messrs. o. X. Earle,
P. L. Moen, and j. w. Jordan authorized
like use of their names. Mr.. Cough renewed
his pledge to go or find a substitute. The
names of Edwin S. Lawrence and Alfred E.
Ruttter were added as volunteers on a like
condition, and the mayor said he would head
the list with his own name, and put it down.
The meeting was then dismissed.
