The orator Of the day y ST. Louis, on
the anniversary Of Washisgloa's Birth
day, was Mr.. Charles d. Drake, long .
prominent pro-slavery democrat in Mis-
souri,, who spoke strongly on this occasion
in support Of the government and in
denuucistion of the rebellion. After ex-
posing the fallacy OF the secession dog.
mas, and showing that slavery is the
cornerstone Of the rebellion, Mr.. Drake
said:
!" Do me not the injustice, my friends.
10 suppose that thus speak in any spirit Of
fanaticism against the institution of slavery
: OF from any unison Of sentiment with
those who have SO long disturbed the
country with demands for its abolition.
The views | have entertained for thirty
years on that subject remain unchanged
But Mis rar against The constuation aud
my country has driren me TO the coacln-
sioHs 4 haze erlressed, a. it has tens Of
thousands of others, who, like myself,
were never associated With any party
which ayowed antagonism to slavery a. IN
article ofits political faith. have uttered
the deliberate convictions Of my Judgment
on the subject which could not be thrust
aside in any discussion Of the present
aspect Of our national affairs; and should
have held myself faithless TO the solemn
requirements Of this hour If / had failed
to speak what believe to be truth, lest,
perchance, it sets some teeth on edge, or
bring down Impressions on my head.
..But let it ever bs manifest
that rebellion cannot b otherwise subdued
and that We are shut up 70 choose between
oar noble couatry, with its priceless con-
stituion, and slavery, then, with every
6bre Of my heart and every energy of my
nature, ! will pass along the universal cry
Of all patriots - Down ritA slapery for
euer / would then no more hesitate
which to choose, than, in view Of death,
would balance between eternal life and
eternal perdition. Bnt, manifestly, the
time is not yet, when the American peo-
pie must make that choice. They have
but just got ready 10 strike the rebellion,
and already the monster recoils and stag
gers under stunning blows. The power
Of this stalwart nation Is but beginning to
b felt. The hundred days, which began
At Fort Henry, and have already recorded
the glory Of Donolson, and. with Gods
help, will be vivid with IN unbroken series
of like achievements, may suffice to strike
of the hydx hundred heads but, either.
at their end or after, the nation will come
forth from the conflict, fair q the moon,
clear as the sun, and terrible as an army
with banners"
