~ out the Monroe doctrine. Hear hear;
We want more room. (Laughter.t We
are getting cramped and crowded and we
must have an outlet for the rush OF emi
grants that will pour into the country
when we declare peace. Put discTlmin
ating duty on, shutting out English goods
if England continues to side with the RED
ely.
Don't get alarmed, gentlemen, you know
it is all fun. Loud laughter.l You know
you call me eccentric, and | must KEEP
up the illusion. (Hear, hear and laugh,
teri England has slept in the middle o.
the bed long enough loud laughter:
The times are changing. The speck on
the horizon is already bigger than an OK
cart. (Laughter.) The fires of free opin-
ions have been smouldering in Europe Tor
nearly fifteen years Poor Poland IS sack
cloth and ashes. Hungary sleeps awak-
ing, and will shortly spring upon the enc,
mys camp when Caprera's chief will Land
in Venice. France groans under dis-
corded commerce, and diseased finance
! Europe has enough to look after without
troubling herself with America. Let
America lock her gates for while-econ-
omize-buy no foreign fabTies-live with
I in herself-manufactur her own cotton,
and take the profit we have so long gwen
TO England. Our strength is shown by
this contest. Six hours of such rebellion
would have changed dynasty in France,
six DAYS in Austria or Prussia or Spain
Six weeks without a ministry would cap
size the English Constitution, but after
six months of preparation America begins
to show her strength.
1t was a clever move of the President
in this great national game OF chess, 10
give up Fort Sumter-always give cas-
tie to checkmate your opponent. Hear,
hear. The Cabinet have done nobly !:
Seward upheld our foreign relations, and
proved himself the man we knew he was.
So has Chase; and Wells, with his i've
hundred ships of war, armed to the teeth;
and Cameron, too, with his half million
of fighting men. Hear, and cheers. l
don't believe the reports of the corrup-
ton in the departments, as they are clr-
culated by rebel spies and enemies OF the
country. l have faith in Seward, and
Cameron, and Wells, and Chase, and know
the President is an honest man. Loud
cheers. like the strong measures oi
the Administration. In times like these,
one cannot do things too firmly. Act hrst
and apologize afterward-strain point
in the Constitution, if necessary to save a
nation-over with the spies-down with
the traitorous women-down with the vile
hordes who infest the country with their
treason-macadamize Fort Lafayette with
the strongest bones of the land, if they
have crystalized into parricides.
The civil power is nothing when coun-
try is to be saved. Give us martial law
overheard with Habeas Corpus Act, and
obedience with the sword and
the gallows. Yes, gentlemen, to put
down treason | would put on the thumb
screw. Out with the gullitine-raise the
inquisition and enforce the law, at what
ever cost of money or men. Break up
the printing press-shut the mouth that
dares to breathe against the 80 Army of
the Constitution" Who thinks of saving
brush and comb, sponge and towel, when
the house is in hamel Who stops for
overcoat and carpet sack, when the ship
is in breakers? Who thinks of wearing
white kids when shells are exploding in
the drawing room? Let the Administra-
ton save the nation and overlook any lit
tie thing that may have been omitted
Hear, hear.
Christians hate Iscariot, Romans des-
pise Catiline, Americans loathe the name
of Arnold. SO will the Southern pirate
chieftains in their exile be marked with
contempt by the patriots of the Constitu-
tion Separation is IMPOSSIBLE Ami |
hilation absurd Who ever heard of
twenty millions being annihilated ri
America must change her policy; be more
republican, Laughter. less aristocratic, |
overcome our modesty, and not be too
religious about forms. America fights |
with her own liberty-Europeans fight for
pay. Ours is volunteer army We have
no Hessians or hired battahons.
Oar thirty million loan, so readily TAX |
en- by our people, is nothing to what we
can do. England spends that sum every |
year on army and navy. The days OF
Perry and Decatur, and Paul Jones, are
to be revived. The fleets are off-a new
set of tactics-take Hatteras. Send back |
the North Carolina troops! telegraphs |
the Governor. Take Savannah Send |
back the Georgia regiments telegraphs
the general in command to Beauregard.
Take New Orleans Send back the Loui- |
siana contingent. and shortly Beauregard |

Why does France borrow two millions on

Laughter and loud applause.
