preferred practical and real acts in the
premises as occasions demand, under
martial law as such, to theories or paper
proclamations, for hold the war power
abundant and legislation necessary;
but, the President having determined
upon Proclamation, would have pre-
ferred to see how it would work in the
last few months of the old year, to the
first day of the new. Applause. But,
if the Proclamation weakens rebellion
and strengthens Government-as hope
and believe it will am for it and its
consequences, and any and every other
measure which viii conduce to that end.
[Applause. The institution has been
overworked, and can no longer form po-
litical capital on either side, of which
politicians of both shades will please take
notice 1t is to pass away during the
present struggle, especially if long con-
tinued, and as an element of mischief
and disturbance, and as just retribution
to those who have taken up arms against
the Government in its name, for vile po-
litical ends, it has my permission to start
at the earliest moment possible, and to
make the exodus complete one. One
such Government is worth all the Slave
ry that has existed since Joseph was sold
into Egypt Great applause. If re-
bellion wishes to avoid these results and
to invoke the Constitution, let itacknowl-
edge its supremacy, embrace the olive
branch extended by the President, and
lay down its arms, and close its work of
treason and murder The cry that re-
leased contrabands are coming North is
for political effect, and to secure votes
from alarmed laborers. Yes" When
Slavery is no longer recognized in the
Southern States, the colored race viii
not struggle for the cold North to COM
pete with our laborers but those now
with us viii seek more congenial cline
in the sunny South, where the climate is
more agreeable and the labor and pro-
ductions better suited to their wants,
tastes and habits. " yes, yes.
The following is from the concluding
portion of Mr.. Dickinsons remarks:
1t is idle, my friends, to prosecute this
war against rebellion by halves. 1t is
worse than idle to send our sons to the
field of blood, and leave politicians at
apologizing for rebellion, and are incul-
eating, no matter how stealthily or CO.
verify, cowardly and fatal propositions of
peace Rebellion knows, from spies and
sympathizers quite too near US, what is
going on in our midst as well as we do.
1t is struggling on in the hope that this
peace party may gain the ascendency,
when it expects to be forgiven for its
treason, have murder washed from its
bloody hands, and be rewarded for its
villainy by liberal Propositions
"Shame." ] This party, with its propo-
sitions of peace, having been exposed,
abashed, and ihgloriously overthrown
last year, has covered its framework
this, with veneering of different shade,
but quite too tlimsy to deceive a discern
ing and loyal people. Like the cat in
the fable, it has whitewashed its coat, but
the teeth and claws are plainly discerni-
ble Applause. Call back your sons,
repeat, or crush out this insidious mon-
ster at home and the rebellion abroad
together. Rebellion has lost faith in ex-
pected foreign recognition.
Its miserable sympathizers in England
| lack courage TO come to time Even
Disraeli, who 0'Connell said was reg
ular lineal descendant of the hardened
thief, fails to meet the occasion as ex-
| pected. Its hope now rests in the aid
and sympathy it can command in the
loyal States, to save it from the condign
punishment and ignoble end which
awaits it, and looks more to the success
of this ticket to-day than to the exploits
of Stonewall jackson Call back you
sons, say again, or crush this politica
hope of rebellion at home. When thii
hideous monstersssees US united as ont
man, in one common purpose to crush 1t
twill YIELD but until then it viii strug-
gle on, like the writings of venomous
serpent, till exterminated. Applause.
1t would long since have yielded, but fol
hope of propositions of peace from politi
cal quarters, and terms of accommoda
ton; and but for seeing the Executive
denounced for unconstitutional acts, AMI

feet, if not in name-for rebel leader
