They will tell You in private and public ,b,,
they are opposed to The rebellion; but do yo''
ever hear them speak Of It in very seyer.
terms? Do you hear them refer to i ey,,r,
IN soll and soothing language} 'rhay VIII ln
you IN the loudest tones, speaking as il W.
from the housetops that they arr Uuipn-ms,
They seem most anxious "a DO considered and
owned rs par e2cetieace for the Union. In,
yet do you know that they have done o,n
thlng-that they have lifted a finger or raja
dollar for It's preservation They epaak "
the war as wrong and unnecessary. and So.
that it might have been avoided by NJ,
adoption perhaps Of the Crttondeu nsoln
TONS.
And SO perhaps II might have been ayoide,
( ii we had voted for John {. Breckenridge and
made him President Of the United States Rr,
we did not choose to do either Of these thn,.

late hars-breadth, some provision of the con.

about the entire overthrow lof il by ARMED
hosts. They are full of compassion for The
the people, on account of the taxation from
which they are To suffer- They denounce III,
the sooner we close II with our southern breth'

will accept of any compromise whatever.

| They act as an auxlharyoorps Of miners and
sappers, and a very effective corps it is, tom.
dermine the Union which they profess to hold
in so great regard. These are dangerous men
more dangerous than all the armies of the
rebels. From such Union men, pray God 10
deliver us.
! 1t is then, of the highest Importance and
the duty of the Executive Government to NEE,
/ all this array of power, all these hostile ipau.

We will (Applause.)
Nv tellow-citizens, tins rebellion must be
crushed. am not at liberty to speculate
about it, Religion, civilization and humanity,
demand that it shall be exterminated from the
face Of the country, and never again lift its
head TO disgrace the land, Ii must be done
in the brieiest possible period, and if one mil
lion Of men is not enough to do it, call two mil
hons and if two millions will not do it. then
let every loyal man and woman who can Shout
der musket, or WELD mop handle "eome to
the rescue" and then, my life upon it, our
country will be saved.
| will speak for my own Vermont, aud
pledge for her that she will never be behind
any one in the day of our oountry's need II
the sixteen regiments are not the full proper
tion-if the twelve or fourteen thousand who
have gone forth robed for the sacrifice, AIRY hos
enough, let the blast of war echo alore hese
hills, and every man and woman I'm hasten
from their homes to fill up the hospitals Oh me
sick, and every mother vii make haSte 70 onef
her son, rattle. than tho the orlght oro Oh TINS
Republic shall go dom IN perpetual darkness
and night. Enthusiastic APPLAUSE
Vermont has ALREADY paid a costly sacrifice
ITO the demand of tbs rebellion. Sad udlngs
from afar have bIorght lamentation and sorrow
to many of her households, and many of her
gallant sons soep in death upon distant
I fields of battle 1t is some relief that their
names will lag be remembered with aft ction
and honor. It is some relief that they fall, If
fall thew must, in defence Of righteous cause.
They faI as the hero, the patriot, the Chris
tan. isfall they must, in the discharge of the
solepn duties which God and their country
haze placed upon them. < .a
The Administration, rejoice TO say, on more
lthan one recent occasion, has gwen evldenceoi
I its appreciation Of the present crisis, and OF Ito
purpose to assume the responsibility OF adopt
| ing such measures as the eUgencies OF the
present crisis demand. And it is a matter Of
rejoicing that its call for 5000 men was met
with such gladness and enthusiasm by the
American people. .. a.-r.-,s .s
The recent proclamation of freedom is nail
ed with JOY, as harbinger Of strength and
the day-spring of hope. This manifestation
| that the war will be pushed forward, fills our
hearts with confidence. 1t gives courage to
our armies. 1t nerves the arm of every Amer
lean patriot to an earnest determination in the
prosecution OF the war
Courage, then, my fellow-men, courage and
confidence, earnestness and perseverance, and
all is safe. Though our finances are deranged
though clouds and darkness gather around US,
they are but the forerunners of the coming and
brighter morning which is to rise upon us
And when this rebellion shall have been sup
pressed, as suppressed it will be, when thr
Union shall have been restored, as restored IL
will be, when peace and concord shall come
back TO US, then this government OF ours, !"
full of energy and enterprise, so rich IN all tne
resources, wealth and power, so abundant III
4 all the physical and moral material, OF grea'
and mighty people, shall bound once more INTO
the prosperity of former wears, and greatness
such as the world has never before witnessed
And after coming forth from this great trial., u
shall stand forever as a star of the first maShi,
tude as a bright eh'ulgent and fixed star oi
promise and of hope, to the generations yet uh-
born. (Reiterated Applause.)
