in tha. letter ju.t read by the Mayor which Is, IN
tnhsisncs, that never snce tie fail OF Sumter has
this csuntry been in A. much peril ~ at the
present moment. Instead Of invading the
Reb.l Capital We are defending our own. Bull
Run. which We contested in july, 1861, we are con-
testing In August ard September, 1907. Now, with
out preface establishment. / will state to you
two three reasons why the country II now In
rnth extreme peru, anu WY We hh'' u't munc
more advancement upon the fco since the war be-
gan. Tho first resson in that we have been 30 slow
10 understand the character and the purposes OF the
Rebel. Nv friend tie Mayor, aud myseli, he now,
and At time perhaps not an inconspictous meni-
Der Of the Democratic party, believed that thes-
men were struggling for some real or some fsnced
night under the Consultation. Not 20. They were
plotting then and are citing now 10 destroy that
Constitution. Loud applause. He and may
have believed that they were couiending for
,.rass 80, b..
Union No; they were plotting hen and are fight
ing now to break NJ tie Union. Applause. some
may have thought that the Rebels might be induced
by rome cOnciIatl0n OF oomprumse To return to the
Union. There las been feeling IN some quarters,
ar.Ing from patriotic motives, that II not isc
To pres them fur lest they reiuse To accept
Citation and compromise al our bands. Al, SIR,
bat G. at delusOn Las been dssii ated by the bitter
experiences # the last twelve months These
traitors do not ask for Cancellation and compromise
they detect aud spurn them. They are fighting for
their ndeI enacnce, aud To establish their Couied
crate Government upon the ruins If the Republic
built by our fathers IN tie Revolution. Applause
The issue between and item II not return 10 the
L mon through the avenue of Constitution, strewn
with iowerr not guarantee for ftncied real
rights which the claim 10 have lost to have been
eoparded ia the Union, but the destruction Of the
glorious fabric OF Government which Washington
and Franklin erected, and which jackson and Web
ster have defended aud ilust rated upon the field and
in the Senate. Applause
! A uisconceptlon Of the nature Of the issne has
been pact error. Let correct II from his day
onward and understand that this is death uggle
between the contendlng parties, and that If we do
not crush tie rebels, the rebels will crash
u.s. {" Never" Never" and Applause |
There has been another deluson pervading the
minds OF another class of men. / refer 10 those
called " Radical Republicans" They have Beloved
that though this Union were broken in twain, we
OF the North might stlll have very good, aud
l..
sll. But, Sir, he who believes tha. this Republic
can be divided upon the line Of 30 20, or the line
between the Slave and the Free States or upon any
line whatever. and leave usa United States
north of that line haze utterly mistaken the ten
dency Of events. lApplanre.l When tins nation
begins 10 90 10 pieces, nobody but the
Almighty can tell where 1t will divide
! lCries OF That's 3d. There il far more dan
ger if may the plain and familiar illustration,
that, like rotten cake OF ice III the oarly Spring
dashed over rocky cataract by furious ireshet II
will go utterly TO pieces, than that II will break in two
in the middle, and preserve each half intact. Then
let the Union be dissolved and there will be no
" United States Government" You who opposed
the election of Lincoln, why do Won 70 checrfully
submit 10 his rule IL 1t not because he WAS const-
nationally ch0sen because hc claims 10 be President
Of the whole United States When Lincoln aud his
Administration shall say that tins Union is longer
the old United States, Will not the lgament by
which ho holds all OF us TO allegiance be broken
Then, whit IL our safety Slnpy ths-to swear
by the Eternal that our star rlaugcd banner shall
wave authortauyely aud in triumph from tie
Atlantic coast 10 tho golden strand of California,
from the pine iororts of the upper lakes To tho
0rnnge-5royts that cluster around Tie Gulf Of
MeAco. Great cheering.I Yea, through the cX-
pendlture OF untold sums Of money, and the sheddng
OF streams oi the most precious blood, and the
loary suspension OF the writ of kabeas corpus, and
OF perfect freedom of speech aud OF the prcrs and
by tho throwing Of our all into the contest, to
our last dollar aud our last man, will, God help.
