TAKE NOTICE, EVERYBODY
A Speech by the Hon. Henry
3. Stanton.

The following speech was delivered by
the Hon. Henry B. Stanton, in Brooklyn,
on the 4th of July:
Mr. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW CITIZENS -
l have not come to deliver you an old-fash-
ioned " Fourth of July O.ati)n." Anathe-
mas of Great Britain and eulogiums of our
selves, concerning the Revolution of l776,
are out of date. We are in the midst of the
revolution of 1862 l shall examine cur
rent events rather than ancient history
shall deal with the present living instead of
the dead past-apd ignoring the existence
of George Ill, Lord North Gen. Burgoyne,
aud their contemporaries, shall pay my re.
spects to JEFF Dsyis, Robert Toombs. Gene
eral Beauregard, and their compeers. [Ap-
plause.
NV theme will be, "The Reason and the
Remedy, the Cause and the Cure, of the
presen! Rebellion" Without preface or apol-
ogy, shall proceed straightforward to the
consideration of my subject. Mr.. President,
the present Rebellion is the natural offspring
of policy, almost coeval with the Repub-
lie, whose chief aim has been to enlarge
the area, increase the power, and thereby
prolong the existence of negro Slavery upon
the North American Continent. Onr Revo-
lutiouary Fathers erred in permitting this
system to retain a foothOld under the Con-
sIitution. In accordance with its restless
arrogant spirit it early clamOred for new
fields to ravage. II set its greedy eye upon
adjacent territories Louisiana was pur-
chased to appease its cravings. At later Pc
riods Florida and Texas were acquired for
the like purpose, and devoted to The same
end. In this connection, | may call your
attention to the significant fact, that not
1v,Ix han
with any foreign nation concerning bouu-
daries, we have always and at any hazard
maintained our extTemeSt pretensiOns if the
dispute6 soil were Southern and slave,
while. if it ware Northern and free, we
have abandoned it at the very first show of
resistance In proof | cite, on the one hand,
our courageous words but cowardly deeds
in the North. Eastern boundary and Oregon
ioint-occupation controversies, and on the
| other our conflict with Spain concerning
| Florida, and the blood we shed in enforcing
our title to the narrow strip OF land be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Graude.-
What, Mr.. President, has caused this tenaci-
| ty of will when slave soil has been at stake,
| and this laxity of progress when free soil
has been nut to hazard Nothing but the
vigilance, the ambition, and the arrogance
of the Slavery Propagandists of this coun-
try. And, sir, this Negro Oligarchy have
| exhibited the same dominating spirit in the
organization and management of the politi-
cal parties of the Union. Not to refer to
earlier periods, the tyranny exercised by
the Slave Power over national politics since
the Missouri controversy in 18l9-2O, is
hardly equaled by that of any serfdom on
earth at the South parties have We'd with
each other in devotion to this inexorable
demon At the North i. has raised up a
body of servitors, supple, craven, and gree

The Battle Of luka.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

It was on Friday evening, while the; left
wing was marching, that Gen. Rosecrans fought
the battle of Internationally the bloodiest
| AID hardest.fought engagement of the war in the
West It seems that be was oblivious of the
flag of truce business, and was intent solely up-
on meeting and fighting the enemy, for on Fri
day evening, just before sunset, be fell upon
Price as he was retreating from Iuka, about q
mile southeast of that place. Immediately the
battle commenced in dead earnest. The rebels
formed on q road on ridge, a line less than a
quarter of mile in length, and this was the
whole extent of the battle ground, A single
brigade OF Gen. Rosecrans' Division bore the
brunt of the whole fight The first movement
was to dislodge the rebels from their position
by charge, which no sooner done than thew
rallied and drove back our men in similar
manner, only to be driven in turn by our de-
termined troops. Backward and forward thus
the tide Of battle ebbed and flowed, until dark
ness put an end to the conflict. Our troops
rested near the battle-ground till morning. when
they found that Price had flown, leaving all bis
dead and wounded.
SLAUGHTER.
I said this was one of the blodiest of Western
battles. From several persons who were on the
ground early in the day, learn that the rebel
loss in killed and wounded was not less than five
hundred, fully three hundred of whom were
killed. Our own loss was one hundred and
twenty killed and about two hundred wounded.
All this, too, was done in an hour and half and
very much of it With the bayonet. It was al
most entirely q hand-to-hand engagement. I
regret exceedingly that circumstances have rem.
dered it impossible for me to obtain any list Of
killed and wounded. I can only say that the
Eleventh Ohio battery and the Fifth Iowa in
fantry suffered terribly. This battery was in
possession of the rebels when the Fifth Iowa
charged them with valor of which Iowa NAV
well be proud, and retook the guns-the horses
al being killed. Seventy or eighty of the men
belonging to this battery we're either killed or
wounded. The number lost BY the Fifth Iowa

"A FAIR ESTIMATE OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN
Now that some of those who aided in electing
President Lincoln are making a strenuous effort
to destroy confidence in him, an occasional
word in his favor is only fair. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser makes the following estimate of the
President, and we believe that impartial histo.
~ will decide that it is not overdrawn:-
"These insidious attacks on the President,
situated as heis were always in bad taste. They
are especially 90 at the present hour. Never
has our nation seen such an one before. It Is
most fervently to be prayed that she may never
see such one again. President Lincoln feels
this more deeply than any man in America. He
is under weight Of responsibility that never
rested before on the heart and hand of any man.
The perils of the revolution, the civil ssrifes
around Washington's administration, the SEQ
tionsl animosities of the days of Adams, the
partisan conflicts of the Jefsrsonian period,
were but IS the small dust Of the balance In
comparison With the mountainous load thrown
on the shoulders of President Lincoln. Those
who see and watch him here can safely assure
your readers that you are perfectly correct in
your estimate Of bic ability to carry the burden
successfully. His shoulders are fully square and
strong enough to bear all the cares of state that
may fall to his lot; aud he can therefore cheer.
iuAy obouu cEcCt uuuer Tue S9S6ultS OF open enc
mics and pretended frienda The people of the
United States will do well to note carefully the
men who are go loud in their professions of faith
in President Lincolns honesty his integrity
his purity, while covertly insinuating that his
will is weak his judgment is imbecile,' his sto-
ries are out of place. 'he is too much Influenced
by Others and 80 on to the end of all the lessons
president Lincoln has will as iron az that
Of President Jackson. His judgment il cool,
cautious, far.reaching. His stories are told With
. good object, and they usually bit those they
are intended to hit-mdelicit the large class Of
political schemers who come to give him their
advice. As to his being too much Influenced
by others, there is not member of his cabinet
but will say, that while he pays great Difference
to their judgments, he is one of the most inde-
pendent men in the world. There are the best
of reasons for stating that the whole plan
of President Lincoln's administration was form
ed by him when he came into power, in full
view Of the principal events that have happened!
He has at no time and in no way been taken by
surprise. His programme is prepared to the
end, and he will carry it out, to the very letter."

TIE Writ OF HABEAs CoRpus.-Extract from
the celebrated speech Of Judge Douglas on the
bill to refund the fine imposed on General Jack.
Son by Judge Hall Of New Orleans, delivered
in the Houseof Representatives. See Con-
gressional Globe of January 10, 1874:
The necessity and the glorious effect result.
ing from causes which that necessity prompted.
were ackngwledged by the whole country, and
he would even say by the whole civilized world.
Then, IS far as this bill was concerned, he (Mr.
d. could not say whether their acts were legal
or illegal. He cared not whether Gen. jack
son violated the constitution or not. He cared
not whether General jackson suspended all civ
il authority or not.
If his acts were necessary to the defense Of
the country, that necessity was above all law.
Gen. Jackson hazarded everything; he hazard
ed both life and reputation on that step, which
might render him immortal if he saved the coun.
try, or on the contrary, make him ignominious,
and a by.word and q reproach; and the man
that dared to do that deserved the protection
and plaudits Of his country. He did not envy
the feelings Of that man who could get up and
talk calmly and coolly, uuder such circum-
stances, about rules Of court and technicalities
of proceeding, when the city might be in flames.
and the utmost barbarity might be committed
What were rules Of court but mere cobwebs
when they found an enemy with his cannon at
the doors Of their courts, and they saw the
flames encircling the cupola? Talk then about
the rules of court, and the formalities of pro.
ceedings? The man that would do this, would
fiddle while the capital was burning( Sensation.)
He could not envy any man the possession Of
such stoical philosophy. Talk about illegalityi
Talk about formalities! Why there was but
one formality to be observed, and that was the
formality Of directing the cannon and destroy.
ing the enemy regardless of the means, wheth-
or it be by the seizure Of cotton bags or the
seizure Of persons, if the necessity of the case
required it. The God of nature has conferred
this right upon men and nations; and therefore
let him not be told that it was unconstitutional.
To defend the country, let him not be told that
it was unconstitutional to use the necessary
means. The constitution was adopted for tie
protection Of the country, and under that co.'s
stitution the nation had the right to exercise
all the powers that were necessary for the po-
lection Of the country. II martial law vas
necessary to the salvation of the country, mr.
tial law was legal for that purpose. If it vas
necessary for judge, for the preservation of
order, to punish for contempt, he thought it
was necessary for q general to exercise coltrol
over his cannon, to imprison traitors, AMI to
arrest spies, and to intercept communications
with the enemy. If this was necessary; this
was legal.
