Everywhere in the loyal States the people should
awake to the greatness of the work which the Gov
ernment has TO do in eonquering the rebellion
They should realize, also that those who have been
appointed to aiminister and preserve the Govern
msnt can do nothing etfectllally unless they are
aided and supported by the people If, when the
President calls for troops to I'LL up the deci-
mated ranks OF the army already III the field and
to strengthen his arm in enforcing The authority Of
the national Constitution anu laws, the people do
not SO exert themselves to secure quick and
ready response to that CALL with them, and not
with Mr. Lincoln, must rest all the responsibility
for the Consequences. The civil hberties the pros
perity, the private and public welfare OF the Amer
ican people, Is stahed upon the Of this conflict
with treason. The President, and each one Of his
official advisers, are but individual citizens, hav-
Ing personally, no iaore interest In maintaining the
Government against those who have conspirod to
overthrow it than any other loyal citizen has; and
he and his Cabinet aud his soldiers in the field
should have the hearty and energetic cooperation
Of all tfnly patriotic men IN this trying hour
of the nation And we are glad to see from popu-
lar demonstrations taking place, that the Pres
ident will be duly sustained by the public.
The mammoth meeting i'll New York on Tuesday
will long be remembered by the participants. Its
magnitude and object were unusual and the
thusiasm unbounded From five different stands
able orators addressed the ocean OF humanity, aud
az words OF patriotism fell eloquent lips en,hu
siastc shouts rent the air. But spirit pur.
pose inspired that immense throng. To prosecute
the war at ali hazards, at whatever cost was the
unsniss able determination of every citizen pre-
sent. Recent disasters were acknowledged, but
referred 10 only az addonalincentives for speedy
response to the call Of the President.
The effects of such gathering will be manifest.
not only in increased enlistments in New York, but
viii be apparent throughout the loyal North.
In Boston, Springfield, Mass., Portland and
various other places meetings have also been held,
at which the earnest purpose to prosecute the
war for the Union WIS expressed, and the most
efficient measures adopted to stmuiats the en-.
lstmsnt of the reinforcements which tho President
has called for Other loyal cities, towns, and VII
lagos, viii doubtless follow with like exprsssions
Of their zeal for the great and good cause. Shall
philadelphia, then, be stieat aud passives Shall

birth, and where the Federal Constitution was
framed aud adopted, utter No raiying cry at time
