rihced in this accursed war, by those very men
who have enjoyed the blessings of our civil in
stitutions. want to strike that traitor in the
dust who strikes at my country's flag,-that
flag so long the guardian of our liberties.-
Shall we be slaves to a foreign power? If we
desire it, then let us fold our hands, and chains
will soon be ready to fasten them. But, sir, /
do not believe in halfway measures. l do not
believe in hugging the delusive phantom of
hope till she has bound us hand and foot Ev-
cry able-bodied man in the free States should
be placed on a war footing. Every Saturday
afternoon should find two millions of men in
the free States engaged in military drill If
they have not muskets, let them drill without
muskets. Officers should be learning the sci
ence of war, SO as to know how to act when
called into service. Every man at the South is
a soldier, and every man at the North should
be one. A half million of men, well-armed
and drilled, should be ready to start for the
seat of war by the first of September
Northern secessionsts shonld begin to feel
that there is such a thing as treason. Those
God-forsaken looking wretches at the North.
who are throwing obstacles in the way of the
settlement Of this matter, should now be made
to hold their peace. The loyal people of the
North have already borne it too long.

to do. A year and half are nearly passed,
and what has the flower of the American ar
my really accomplished? Stop this talk about
the decentralization of the enemy, of their starry
ing to death, and of their weak forces This
does no good. 1t does not benefit our soldiers
in time of battle. 1t is right to be taught by an
enemy, but we do not want to pay too dearly
for the instruction. The rebels have skifull
officers, and well-drilled troops in abundance.

food. Every days delay makes them strong

in our very vitals, let us go on in this halfway
policy little longer, and we shall have it. |
blame no man at the head of affairs. They
have accomplished wonders; but the people.
the People, sir, must act. They must feel
that they have foe worthy their steel, and
they must be aroused to a sense of what they
must do, and then take hold in earnest. Our
armies must be large enough to crush the foe,
and not merely to pursue them on a safe re-
treat. If Gen. Mcclellan needs a half-mil-
lion more men, let him tell the people so, and
the people will say in thunder tones, HERE
THEY ARE! And if a halfmillion won't do
take a million then, and we shall have two
millions left of good working and fighting
men. There ought to be tremendous applause

What we want is not single man of command
ing intellect and dominant will, to sway the
masses as vast machine, but a people so uni
ted by common devotion, so moved by
common impulse, that they act as a single man
and therefore are invincible
On the other hand, we hear loud cry from
certain fearful ones, that the prominence which
some are gaining will be used as means to
carry them into future power. wish could
convince this class that they are fighting wind
mills, and not giants. Our public men, both
civil and military, are being tried in too fierce
a crucible to leave much danger of this kind.
Whatsoever in them is of the true and precious
metal, the people will recognize and gladly
use; but that which is but false and preten-
tous dross, cannot hope to escape detection in
such fiery ordeal as this. The action of
events is a sure test. We can afford to wait.
Our duty is with the present. "Let the NOR
row take thought for the things of ITSELF" No
one can fail to see how regulations have shift
ed up and down in the progress of this war;
The idol of yesterday is the scape-goat of to-
day. Thousands who shouted for the path
finder" last summer, rejoiced in his removal at
the end of the hundred days" A year ago,
General McClelans name was trumpeted to
the world with the most extravagant lauda-
tons by the very papers which have since
clamored for his removal. If he had been a
combination of Wellington and the first Napo-
leon, Wallenstein and Marshal Blucher, Julius
Caesar and Timour the Tartar, rolled into one,
he could never have met the expectations of
those whose extrayagant praises demanded of
him impossibilities. That he has not done so
is no matter of rational surprise Doubtless,
he has made some mistakes Errore est hu-
mdRum and while We are about il we NAV
as well apply the maxim to ourselves, and learn
humility in our judgment.
But now, the question is not Of past errors,
but Of present deeds. Gen. Mcclellan. since
the Government chooses to retain him in COM
mand, is to be strengthened, not decried.-
Men will not readily enlist under general
whom they hear constantly deprecated. For
Gods sake. then, LET US sacrifice prejudice, and
come up and do our plain and simple duty
now. Come young men with strong arms:
come old men with words of counsel: come
rich men with money and credit; come wo-
men, with the patient endurance, encouraging
smiles, and the gentle cares which are your
province! Come merchant, from the city mart;
come, thoues'ful student, from your books;
come hardy pioneer from the wilds of far
Aroostook! Come every strong heart and
willing hand!
e Cone. the winds come when forests are rcnded;
Come a. the come when navies are stranded"
Come, in the spirit Of pure devotion and dauni-
less heroism in which your fathers came to
their struggle; and you shall conquer as they
conquered, heritage for your children, which
