and, In this edgency, good enough for me-.
What ] want Is to subjugate the rebels to the
authority Of the constitution. IT'S not get

Of the constitution, but the submission Of the

SPEECH OF DANIEL NC uRoY, ESQ.
Mr. McIlroy said that be was born and edu
Gated m lriBhmau, and had as much respect
for The Union rs any native born American
could haVe ;,d The speaker FIR paid rss long and I'd

fore It was their duty to tight for the Union,
to preserve it and make il what 1t was under
Washington. The great question in this con
troverey is, are we right or wrong? We are
right upon the ground that we are striving to
preserve the Union at any.ssacri3ce. Let This
Union fall and there never would be another.
II this goes down there Is nothing left but
monarchy, confusion and the subjugation Of
the people; no personal liberty, no popular
rights. Show Europe that this Republic can
be preserved and sustained. This il our duty
together, Americans, Germans, and Irishmen,
snd fight the battles of the Union. There are
plenty of men, Of money and Of means to do
it, and let us do it. :
