those who are endeavOriDg TO enforce the laws

tleDen on this floor who assume that, in order

slavery. He denied that assumption. II can
be suppressed by other means. We must pro
vide arms FOR our sOldiers-furnish them with

tuition Of slavery. Shall We hesitate, then, Ia
strike them In this their stronghold! II is the
boast of the South that they can carry on this
war with their entire white population, In con
sequence OF slavery.
snail We make this war mere trial Of
forces? Will we. cause 4 continuance of the
war, and deluge the land with the blood OF
fathers, brothers, and sons, sending waiiag and
woe into thousands more Of the families OF our
land, when u word and Il blow will dispel the
dark clouds which hang ever us? We are a
willing to make SACRIFICES for the common
cause. The loyal shareholders cannot objec,
10 even 4 universal emancipation, though they
may suffer Inconvenience from II. They need
not expect 10 escape bearing their share of the
burden and the sacrifice. The country Is i'm
patient tor results, and whatever sacrihoes we
are called upon to make should bs made cheer
fully. Shall we refuse 10 cOnhsoste the prop
erty of the rebels because II will injure slavery
Must the patriotic and the good bring all their
| comforts and offer them as u sacrifice on the
| altar Of their country, while our bitterost emo
mics are allowed 10 retain the very element OF
which they rely for strength TO oppose us
Lot US meet this matter fully and fairly.
