corrupt Administration quailed - backed

He was no advocate of the recognition oil
the Southern Confederacy, but the surrender
of Mason and Slidel was more humiliatlng
than would be such recognition. These Alb
oitionists are brave at distance brave a.
bout hanging honest men and mobbing print
ing presses bur when the British lion roar
ed they crouched.
What did these Aboitonists recommends
What did Cameron's report, before modified
by the President, recommend. The armlng
of the slaves for the slaughter of their mas
tiers And yet this man was retained BY
Lincoln in his Cabinet. Oh for one hour
Of General Jackson at Washington. Tire
mendous applause. Wouldn't there be
rattling of dry bones among the pickers and
stealers and plunderers Of the people there
congregated!
Not one half of the money poured into the
public treasury by the people, goes to de-
fray the expenses of the war. II is stolen
by the cormorants at Washington. Would
Jackson have tolerated these thieves? Would
Jackson tor one hour permit man to re-
main a member of his Cabinet who would
have recommended the rising of the slave to
cut his masters throats John Cochrane,
who holds commission under the Secretary
Of War, had avowed like alrocious sentiments.
Neither he nor Cameron, nor any other ma
lignant abolitionist, was removed by the
President; and these things proved conclu-
slvely that the ultimate intention Of the Re-
publican party was the liberation OF the slaves
of the South. He predicted the success OF
the Democracy if the right kind OF platform
was adopted. lie would vote for no platform
endorsing this Administration. He would
vote for no platform which would pledge the
people to an unconditional prosecution OF
this war. He never intended to endorse
anything which came out ut that miserable
Nazareth. this Republican Administration.
You might talk to him about the honesty Of
Abe LincOln-4bOul his conversation on the
slavery question. He was as corrupt as
those who surrounded him, and unto, tnnale
lily, the smallest toad IN the puddle lie VA.
lalihough at the time he might be pol,tic. a.
corrupt as Simon Cameron. who ought 10
have been hung when ne was little boy
They might talk about hanging him DAVIS

first go and hang the editors Of their own pa
peers who had said the same thing.
He would lay down his Lille for the resto.

Blu, he did mt believe the Union could be
preserved by c0rrcIOn-by ioTce. He wa:
for preserving the Union by propositions o.
peace He stood 10 this respect On Andrew
Jackson's ground. But they said there va,
nobody to compromise the South. LincolT
had SAID a majority Of the people there were
Union men. LII the Crittenden compromise
had been adopted there would to>day have
been no such thing as secession IN the South
Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina haC
all voted to stay in the Union. but after the
rejection Of the Crittenden compromise theil
sotes we're reversed. That all the borde
States are not loyal to-day was owing sole
. ly TO the action Of the Black RepubllcaI
party.
