fury, and the traitor Davis will, most likely,
not wait SO long to give up his sword as
Lord CORVALLIS did on a similar occasion.
Our army is full of Washingtons and
Kosciuskios and Lafsyettes. Faraday saw
the thunderstorm in the dish of water.
Watt saw the power of steam as the kettle
sung its song of triumph over the 6re-wood.
So the true Union man felt in his bones the
destiny God has ordained for his chosen
people. "Ich Diem" was his war cry as
well as that of the Prince of Wales. The
almighty dollar has furnished you with ma
ny a sneer. The almighty cotton has also
stimulated your sarcasns, but in future we
intend to make you respect the almighty
Union. The reserve power of America is
terrible. Every soldier is voltalc battery
every officer steam engine in breaches, for
the future to be of American manufacture.
Our revolution is war of ideas, a war OF
freedom, war for oppressed mankind.
There is more brains in Northern hands than
Southern heads-that is why we take the
belt.
Even Wellington and Bonaparte begin to
pale, with their one-barrel artillery cam
paigns, when compared with our revolving
arms. England's idea of liberty is freedom
for England and slavery for all mankind.
I mean, providing it pays. Otherwise,
then slavery for England and freedom for
all the world. 1t is only question of mon
ey. India gave mankind Conscience; Greece
added Reason; Rome, Will; but America.
possessing conscience, reason and will, took
out patent for Energy and Truth. When
England engaged passage on board the Sc
cession pirate, she accidentally got into the
wrong boat, and posterity will refuse to pay
back the passage money.
If you have the least spark of honesty
about slavery, why don't you praise our
people for abolishing it in the District of
Columbia? Why do you not get up and
cheer for Mr.. Seward for making treaty
with Lord Lyons to put down the the slave
trade Have we not given up another point
the right of search Owing to our won
derful activity, England will find that our
people will overhaul the most ships, and by
that means no doubt prove that the slave
trade is most carried on by English ships
and English capital, armed by some of the
leading disciples of Exeter Hall.
Could every man internal care be written on his
brow,
How many would our pity share that raise our
envy now!
The simile is most applicable to some
Christian nations. What howl would have
passed through England had the Northern
army been guilty of the brutal atrocities
perpetrated by the rebels at Manassas and
elsewhere ? Using the skulls of our brave
officers for spittoons, boiling off their flesh
to get their ribs for castanets, and sending
tokens made from the bones of brave men
to fends in the shape of women, who seem
to have acted like so many tigresses during
this terrible civil war. Hay God haze mssr-
cy on their souIsi Yes
Perish ye traitors and knaves,
Ye changers of men into slaves,
Ye rebels so craven and base.
Where now is your boosted reliance7
And where your looks of defance?-
Mid clouds Of defeat and disgraeei
These men and women are quite worthy
of your sympathy. But, hurrah for the
men of the North You have not the incli-
nation to appreciate our army of noble wo-
men and brave men, but say:
God bless the Union army
And the flag by which it stands,
May it preserve with Freedoms nerve,
What freedoms God demands [Cheers.l
Peal out, ye bells, ye women pray,
For never yet went forth
So grand band, for Law and Land,
As the muster of the Northl
