DR.. Russell gave you the text to ridicule

to have been as mad on the American
question as Welsn rabbit. daughter.
You took 1t up, and told us that to make
soldiers out of farmers, @ and tradesmen,
and mechanics, ard fishermen, there
must bs hard drilling, We accepted your
counsel, Europe poured in upon US. hun
dreds of her best artillery, cavalry and IN
fantry officers, who bursting with the love
of liberty, were anxious to give Union bat

brave generals, bold princes and future

Drill, you said we have drilled. .-ss.
Why do you wait so long, then you
asked. We are drilling, we replied. And
l now point you to the million of drilled
men that cover q battle line of two thousand
miles. Your mob, again you said, your
mob never will give up Mason and Slidell.
The mob did give up the traitors, and fur
thermore received the British officers at
Boston, who were sent to wage war against
Us, with almost royal welcome Zap
plause. You said, you have no money aud
we wilpnot lend you a shilling. Gentle
men a0e neuer asked you for. a shilling. Hear,

You said it was impossible to blockade |

titntions had failed! Already the pass
ort system is abolished, the political pris-
ners have been released, martial law su-
erseded by Civil Government, and the

You will never know the herculean en-
rgies we have displayed. Let me paint
le picture in my own way. We have
inc armies, under nine Generals, compos-
lg a force equal to nine Waterloos, doz-
1 Austerlitzes, two MOscows, and larger
ian all the forces of all the nations that |
ave battle at Crimea. OIL To give

fortresses and languages are
ferent. Remember that England is the =
