In bis speech at Lebanon, Tenn, On the I'd

jects Of slavery and secession:
Men tell us We must compromise. We will
compromise only by making them submit; By
doing as Jefferson did with Burr-conquer
them, and then make them obedient. What
better governments do Ee want than the pres

any one 'sloEt his rights in the Union? If
so, let him come forward and look me in the
face and tell me what he has lost. Lost your

who say this a chance to get their rights, BIZ
sending them of South to light for their
rights, and give them in exchange foE some Of
those poor fellows in the rebel army who have
found their rights and want to come home.
don't think these fellows who buster about
rights have much appetite for lighting. Some
Of them would rather 90 the devil than enter
the army. Rights indeed. They gave me
mine by turning my sick wife and little boy
into the streets. That is the way they gave
me MY rights. Let me til these clamorers

The vote Of the Illinois soldiers on the
new constitution, is source Of perpetual
surprise to the schcmers who are laboring
for the adoption Of that harbarous instru-
anent. They need not wonder; the soldiers
see plainly enough:
I That the present is an unfayorahle
time for the alteration Of the fundamental
Law.
IL That there was no expectation Of 8
new ccnstitution-nothing more than an
amendment Of fe4 articles Of the old
One being an1iei,'a:*d.
III That the rlottcTs have taken adgan-
tage Of the abs:nce Of nearly 100000
voters from the state to fix up scheme By
which they may di7ide the political spoils
among Themselves, regardless Of the claims
Of the men *ho are pcrilirg their lives

". That the new constitution was made
solely for the promotion Of the views O
the men who are in sympathy with tht
enemy against whom the troops Of ui;uoi
contend.
Y. The most ardent supporters of til
uEypiisn swindle" are the men, whe
above Ill others, arc most open and Ut
blushing in their endeayors to give al
and comfort to the rebels, whose baJone1
are pointed at our soldiers hearts.
These arc reasons sufficient for the vott

The only possible argument for the
adoption of the new constitution is that
found in the fact that the two mills tax
ceases to be levied But that argument
goes for naught; because subsequent legis-
latures may follow the example Of the leg
islature Of 1861, and decline to pass Law
for the collection Of that tax; then ot
course it falls to the ground. But for the
war now raging-a war brought Oh By the
