John A. Bingham, who stepped upon the
platform. He said he woullIuot open his
mouth If he thought there was one pnlsa-
ton in the hearts ofthe people on the side
of this wicked rebellion. L, seemed almost
n waste of breath to argue with the people
how this great question must be settled
We could not avoid five would, and we
would not aroidit five could, These reb-
els have raised a great battle cry, and suy
that the Republic shall perish. You can
no more divide this Republic thanlyon cau
divide living man and have him survive.
You might as well try TO divide the human
heart as to divide the Republic. The Union
must be maintained OF all must cease to be.
ave have but one country and one desIi-
n.y." There arefin most communities per-
sons who are constantly apologizing for
this rebellion. No man can express II de-
cent or colorado excuse for it. Some say
they are fighting for redress of wrongs.-
He did deny theright of a people to re-
dress wrongs oy violence. "Resistance to
tyrants is obedience to God the Gov.
eminent has been unjust then ! would bid
them God speed. Has the Goverumentev-
er done wrongto the chief. architect of this
great ruin? Did it do wrong when it took

min. Yet men.gp mousins about among
you that these men are fighting for their
rights! The right to desolate your hearth
stones The right to destroy our country!
They are fighting for the right, suppose,
OF falling upon wounded soldiers lefton,the
field of conflict, aud numbering them. The
right to invade the homes of the dead-of
digging up aud converting the skulls of.
soldiers into drinking cups. They are as
sorting no right that any honest man can
entertain. They think it better to reign in
hell than serve in heaven. They pretend.
that they struck the Union because Father
Abraham was elected President. In that
they simply aud deliberately lied. The
very thing that was done in 1860 was
agreed npon in 1851.
Father Abraham was as gentle and rs
kind hearted as woman. He is doing all
he can to save the elfusion of blood, in the
vain hope that gentleness may bring them
back. Yet you hear men say that Abe Lin
coin eHgendered this trouble. Hewas not
in the Presidential chair when this thing as
sumed its horrtd shape. Abraham Lincoln
had no more to dowith the inception of this
than had the unborn child That
iucorrigible thief and villain, John B. Floyd,
was plotting and acting inthIs thing before
Abe Lincoln was heard of for the Prfsi-
dency. Howell Cobb was in the Treasury
stealing with his fingers to aid the rebel-
lion. But it is enough for ne to know
that the rebellion is inaugurated. 1t is
useless to argue the question. Shall we
save our country We want two things,
men and means. Your Government calls
for 100000 volnnteers Will Western
Virginia respond? II she does, her chill
dren of Ohio will follow her. They call
upon you from the banks of the James river,
from the banks of the Tennessee and the
Mississippi. VIII you rcspond2 lido not
wait for an answer. know that you will.
Death is not half so much to be feared as
cowardice or dishonor. Unless this ques-
ton is settled in favor of the republic, the
busy hum of the workshop must be flushed,
the pillow must stand in the furrow, and the
National ensign must come down. You
have placed upon your banner there, (point-
ing to one of the mottoes,) in answer to
the insolent threat of England
