out requiring sacrifices? Undoubtedly those
who proved to be loyal would be remunerated
for their losses. The unionists of the north
had made sacrifices in giving their lives and
those whom they held most dear. Such loss
es could never he repaired. SO he believed
Unionsts of the south would be ready TO
make sacrifices. 1t was his belief however,
that there were not so many Unionists at the
south as had been supposed, and the number
was decreasing The dangers of their posi-
ton, and the uncertainty of the success OF the
government had produced this unanimity. In
the whole valley of Virginia there was not a
Union man. and he was certain not Union
woman.
With them it was now a question only as to
manner of separation. The northern people
did not realize how long the southern people
have been preparing for disunion. Reference
was made to disunion checked by Gen. Jack
fon, and Calhoun dying defeated
rebel leaving behind him legions of
young men educated to the same views and
in the belief that they were fighting for their
liberties They were united and determined
on rebellion, and to meetthem successfullye
cry advantage must be employed Their de-
termination must be made impossible, and
only by unity among ourselves can 1t be done.
To secure this unity we must arouse ourselves
to extraordinary efforts, and by watching the
movements of enemies in our midst.
While the people are engaged in their loyal
duties to sustain the government, pro-slaye-
ry party is stealthily organizing for victory
of which they already feel assured. There
must be individual labor to secure that unity,
and the soldiers on the battle field must be
sustained by laborers at home. Concessions
could be made and advantages given up, if
for the present generation alone, but it is for
long line of generations we are to fight these
battles, and we are to accept the time with all
its obligations. The fight is for the future
safety of the country
Gen. Fremont testified to the cheerfulness
with which the soldiers endured hardship;
and while the people had given their choicest
treasures, he asked, will they hesitate to strike
with vital force which shall prove etfectual?
and will they be content that hereafter the
bones of their dead shall be turned up where
they lie buried by plowshares held blythe hands
of slaves? Crowdthe men into the field. Make
every fight victory, which goes to cem0nt
the corner stones of union and liberty: and
when the roar of battle goes on, let the sol
diers feel that if they fall their souls are
marching on to join that noble army of mar
tyrs that every good cause demands.
In conclusion he said, place yourselves on
that summit upon which not the light of the
setting sun will shine, but the light Of the new
and glorious morning sun whose beams will
illuminate the world.
The speech was enthusiastically applauded
Senator Wilson, DIR. c. A. Phelps, Rev. Mr..
Manning and others also made speeches.
Gen Fremont was accompanied by Major
Haskell and Capt. Nichols Of his staff. Mrs.
Fremont was also the recipient of cheers and
bouquets. At midnight he was serenaded by
the Germania Band at the Revere House.
