The people in my State, and the people of
this country, are intelligent, reading people,
and they are the people who support this war !;
their hearts are in it as much as ours. Let
them know, then, plainly what your necessities
are, and what will be required OF them l was
very much amused the other day, at seeing an
address of the governors of the different
States addressed to the President, requesting
him to call out more troops, for they thought
it might be necessary in the course of coming
events. What did it all mean? 1t meant that
the President and government thought that
they needed more troops; that our ranks had
been thinned by disclose and the enemy
Didn't we all know it? Didn't the enemy know
it? Didn't everybody know that we wanted
more men? Then why not say so? Now, and
quick, tell the truth-why we want them, and
how soon. Appeal to the people, and let them
know what we require for the purposes of the
country. Deal with them honestly, and you
will get response from every true northern
heart. Therefore hope this policy will be
abandoned, and hereafter we shall speak the
truth. / have not stood up here to condemn
and man, or this or that general, or the Presi-
dent. respect the President. have stood
by him, and shall stand by him. have done
all / could, and contributed all could to the
support of this war, and of our generals, and l
shall continue to do so. Ii they make mis-
takes can forgive them. Men are not al
ways wise, or able to do the very best things.
If they do the best they can, can bid them
God speed, and go on to fight this battle till
they Conquer.
But tell me the truth, and treat your enemies
as enemies and the worst of enemies. Avail
yourselves. like men, ofevery power which God
has placed in your hands to accomplish your
purpose, within the reach of civilized warfare.
But the man who hampers with this question,
and who talks againstemployingn negroes forser-
vices which they are ready and able to do, leads
me to doubt, sometimes, whether after all, there
is not something wanting in the heart. The
people by this bill, are called upon to contribute
more men, and if you wish them to do it with
hearts in their bosoms, you must show that
you have some feeling for them; you must
spare them from every trouble, annoyance, and
exposure that you can-and God knows they
will have enough in such warfare and such
an enemy.
