desire to change, i, will be time enough
to come up aud demand the change. Now
We have this sccursed rebellion 10 root out

"fsllsudigh ham says, he Travelled over
the Confederacy-and has not me, man,
woman or child Who does no. sustain the
war, and Who is no, determined to fight
it out TO the death or the bitter end. Val
landigham here simply lies. He tells
wha, is not true, snd be knows it. The
people Who are fighting against this Gov
ernmept-tbe poor whites comprising the
rank and file Of ;hs rebeil!oD-Dine-tenihs
of them, do 10, know what they are
fighting for; do no. know what they are
fighting sg,iost. A majority Of them
do Lot know anything. and hundreds new
er saw the American Hag in their lives
until they saw it march into Ficksbrrg
iu triumph. They do not know the
Fourth Of July, or anything else that is
good. But, poor aad ignorant as they
are, let them express theis own free minds,
aud they will, almost to . man, demand a
speedy termins,ion of this war-would
submit to almost anything rather than
fight one day longer as they bave been
fighting. 1, IS only BY the force of bay
oue,s that their army is kept together.
Even that can not prevent their deserters
from fOckiDg into Jackson By hundreds,
to take the oath of allegiance or to join the
Union ranks. And | tell you what l
know when l say that it will lot be many
days ere the entire States of Mississippi
and Tennessee will be knocking loudly
for re-admission to the Union.
",pesking Of being united, tell you,
By the Eternal God, there never was a
more truthful sentence than that of
Douglass: "Tho.s Who are not with US are
again., us )" and | rei,erate i. and add that
those who are not With US should be hung,
or sho,ld be with their Southern brethren,
fighting With them.
"To all copperbeads, peace-men, ssita-
tors, anti var men-l have a word TO say
on the behalf Of cur brave soldiers. You
have been told ,ba, the war has oppose,s
10 the rank. of the Union army. 1t is so
accursed and foul aspersion upon the fair
fame Of men who sre willing to spill their
blood, give their lives for their country.
They are for our Union. They fight for
the people and their couatrJ-fur the sup
preston of the Rebellion.
"Let me say to al. oppoEers of the war,
the time vii! be when men competing this
army will come to their homes. They have
watched the progress Of events With inter-
est. They have had their eyes upon those
nnnitigated towards, those opponents o.
