property, aud permitting the South to enjoy the ad-
vantage Of her four millions slave population.
Eighteen months has this idiotic policy been pur-
sued, and it has cost us the lives Of 250,O00
Have not done right then that urged the Presi
dent to do what he has done 1f Ihaye erred, it has
been on the side Of liberty and Justice and trust
you will pardon me. But think only erred in
not being bold enough For a series Of months
the army of the Potomac was lying idle - only
waiting for a truce that none but towards would
think of making. And when Mcclellan was at
tackled before Richmond, only $4,000 effective men
could be brought into battle. Yet we must say
nothing Of the cause of this Infamous rebellion.
If the Railroad interest Of this country should
war against the Government, would you say moth
ing of the cause. If Railroad conspiracy at
tempted the destruction Of the Government, would
we be willing 10 raise volunteers, If every Railroad
President would be permitted, when captured, to
90 free upon taking the oath, or on parole? Or
how long would IL be until we put down such q
bellion, by such policy?
They charge US with being negro worshippers.
How much of one am Il If my own boys life
were imperled with others, would not save my
boy first If twelve families including mine, were
in danger, | would rescue mine first. So with my
race. If any race must be enslaved- let 1t not
be mine. This may be selfish but it cannot be
helped. II is nature. When il comes to the ques-
ton whether the black man own brave SOL
ders must be sacrificed let it be the black man.
If that is negro worshipping, then am indeed an
earnest negro worshipper. Why not at first adopt
the only true policy that every man who was
loyal to the flag of our Union should have its pro-
lection.
But thank God, the President has issued his
proclamation of Emancipation. This prOclama-
ton makes me a thousand votes tonight. Conser-
vatye gentleman, vino have declared their policy
to be what the President says must march square
up to our line now. You have committed your
selves in advance. You cannot hold back now.
Mr. A. here made depression in which he re-
lated an incident which occurred at Washington,
when the President was notified by telegraph of
the nomination of Mr.. Waite for Congress. 4" How's
this ?" says the President "Isn't this Ashlcy's
District" The Secretary of the Treasury
thought he smelt rat. These men had the names
of several candidates for tax appointments on file
in his office, who were ndorsed by Mr.. Waite, and
they supposed the announcement that he was ON the
track for Congress would cause the President to
regard his recommendations with favor. was in
Washington at the time. The next day called on
the President, when he informed what bad
transpired, and assured me that my appointments
would be made This little incident shows how
the President and Cabinet stand. The President
is honest and conscientious. He despises lackey,
and this is no time to send lackeys to Congress.
There is a class of men who have expressed wish
that law would be passed for shooting Abolition
lists. Some say that Sumner should be hanged on
the same gallows with the arch traitor Jeh. Davis.
Why hang Sumner, or any other anti-slavery
man? What but the slavery element has inaugu-
rated and waged this upon our Government.
Indeed YOU will have a nice time of it when you
commence hanging the anti-savery men of this
country.
A few weeks since when the great reverse hap
pened to our arms in front of Washington, and the
Secretary of War telegraphed throughout the
country for lint bandages and surgeons to be i'm
mediatcy sent to Washington for the relief Of our
wounded and dying soldiers, the message reached
the city of Boston, on Sunday morning about the
hour that service were being commenced i'll the
different churches. Copies of the telegram were
laid upon the pulpits, and read to the congrega-
tons the church asscn.blages were Immediately
dismissed, anu ultn ANU iCPAiiCp W thSi
homes, and busy labored in preparing the articles
so much needed at Washington. The result was
that at O'Clock on Sunday afternoon train of
cars left Boston, laden with eighteen hundred dry
goods boxes of lint, bandages and ncetes, together
with one hundred surgeons, for our bleeding and
suffering army. And that train Of cars was be-
sieged along the entire route, by people who had
prepared boxes and packages of sanitary stores,
for those who had bled for their country. These
are the men to be hung. Out upon the cowardly
venom that gives utterance to such a sentiment l
do not want the votes of such men. They are
nothing but slanderers and towards, and despite
the croakings of these cowardy slanderers, my
voice shall not be silenced
The speaker remarked that il was feared by
many that in the event of emancipation, the North
would become black with the slaves of the South.
But this was not so. On the contrary, every negro
in Canada, and in the North would go South if as
sured that they would not be enslaved. 1t Is the
climate peculiarly adapted TO their nature This is
instinct lis planted in the birds. tits the same
in man.
The President has inaugurated scheme for the
colonization of the negro at the expense of the
Government This will undoubtedly result in
good For the separation of the races is the only
practical way for the prosperity of each. Both
races will progress more rapidly when separated.
Upon every opportunity have told the black man
to 90 to Africa for there he becomes teacher and
takes his language and his religion with him.
In Maryland, some years ago. convention was
, held for the purpose of recommending law Tor
ensaving the entire black population of the State
But they did not do it, as they discovered that ii
would drive out of the State all Of the best ne
rroes, and none but the worthless wepld reGnain.
Thus this great bugaboo of flooding the North
with blacks is exposed, and falls to the ground.
1t is the duty of every freeman - every voter
TO take into consideration the important issues now
pending before the country. Every man who casts
vote is individually responsible for the result
single vote may decide the most weighty question
for veal or woe. The responsibility of each votel
is neither changed nor divided because there are
thousand or million of votes.
Mr. Ashley closed his address by giving utter
ance to his firm conviction that out of all this dis
/, cord is to come good. Truth, which dominates ovel
! error will eventually triumph. The time may b
procrastnated, but it will come, The clouds skirt
ing our national horizon may look dark and glosmy
but the bright sky is beyond them. So truth
a clear and strong, united with the harmonies O
nature, will triumph over falsehood liberty viii

mild sway over happy and united people
