vices. in whatever capacity they may be most
Iaccentahle TO the Government OF the United States;
and if had not offered mine before came here,
would not have had the aceto appear before you. The
sneaker said he came from a city wherein loyal men
had tremblei within the last eight weeks because
they feared it might fall into the hands Of traitors
II they considered their country worth preserving
lie would tell them that perhaps the day was rapidly
Iapproachiug when all that could shoulder musket
would ne compelled 10 do so if they would preserve
their country While within the sixteen months
since the fall Of Sumter the South had adopted the
severest measures in regard the persons aud prop
erty of Union men, we had been treating Rebels
with the utmost torbearance and consideration
The soil Of the Rebel States was crimson Win the
blood of l25 coo loyal and brave men of the North

war has been conducted. Repeated cries of " fes," ,
Yes."l He would say that he was in the habit of
seeing army officers daily. Men came back with
some Of their limbs left in Virginia, with bullet
marks through all portions Of their bodies. They
say that they have penetrated the Valley OF the
Shenandoah, and have not found man left behind
and the women throwing out taunts and H.
suits. A good strong guard is placed over
these secession habitatiOns. By-and-by Stonewall
jackson comes sweeping up through that valley
with IN overwhelming force, and our men are sn1t
ont of the very windows OF the houses around which

sneaker believed a change had come over the
spirit of the powers in Washington within
the last ten days. He did not wish TO
be understood finding any fault with the Admins
tration but he would say that for the last sixteen
months the North had been fighting not only the
Rebels, but had been fighting in the face Of Prov-
dence, and we could not beat the Rebels and Prov-
dence too. He believed negro Slavery was the cause
of this war. (" That is So and cheers. And he
believed il one Of the eternal DEGREES OF
Providence that with this war negro Slavery
shonld end. TREMENDOUS cheering When the North
should accept this truth, and should go into this
fight understanding it, then we should be successful
bat until then never should be successful lCries
of "Ihat is So and cheers. There was here a
slight disturbance from inebriated party OF some
half a dozen in the crowd, who called for three
eroans for Hunters Niger brigade, and the same for
Wendell Phillips, followed by three cheers for Ne
Clellan. The presence OF the police, however, and
q few words from them, soon restored order. The
sneaker closed with exhortaion to all loyal men
10 uphold the Government and its Generals by a
generous confidence, and alluson TO Gen. Popes
address AS enuncatiDg the policy that should be in
augurated.

United States which were given with good will,
and returned with equal lustness by the hardy
sailors, and three more were given and returned
again and again.
Another procession, consisting chiefly of roughs,

They gave three groans for Hunters niger brig
ade and three cheers for Mcclellan. They finally
became so noisy that the Chairman requested them
TO pass on. but they refused. Two policemen went
down among them and requested silence, but it was
no; til the next speaker, WM ALLEN BUTLER, esq.,,
was introduced, that they could be prevailed upon
10 become quiet. Their conduct was denounced by
the rest of the assemblage, and an impression gained
ground that they hired for the occasion, with
the intention OF creating disturbance.
