The followinr eloquent strain is from speech
BY Gen. JOHN CocaEAyE4 at the Brooklyn Ac@d-
einy Of Music -
Speaking of those incontinent yicssitudes Of
atmospheric pressure reminded him OF singular
scene that might now be transpiring IN another
Northern port. l think I see the parties passing;
with sombre and lowering brows. looking at each
other. Upon yonder lines, at Windsor Pass, Val,
landicham and his friend Horatio- Applause and
hisses)-I think hear, said the speaker the sym,
pa!hzinc hiss, the metallic sparkle, the FURNISHED
copper of some grovelling reptile that would seek
a warmer climate. Grovel and sputter and hiss
in your PROSTATE, grovellin9 condition! lhe AMI
nal cannot be changed, however this country may
advance to victory and restored Union. zap
plause) I see the friend of Horatio graspng his
cloak about him to screen him from the Northern
blast; and l also behold Marcellus Wood. 1t is
the peace platform on the Canada line. They
tread the stage and remind me of that scene con-
ceived in the mind of natures poet, composed
undoubtedly with reference to the events now
transpiring. 1t was melancholy Hamlet-fallsn-
dioham-his friend Horatio and the ofticeS Mar
callus Wood, that occupied upon dreary night
brief hour upon the peace platform at Elsnors.
(Hisses and applause) 1t was cold to them, but
Kissing hot to the gentlemen present, who were
writhing il their seats.
HoaAr1o-!t is indeed an unhappy and an eager air.
HANLET-What hour now?
Ho2ATTo-lIethinks it lacks Of twelve.
M,ncELLUs wooD-No it has struck.
HoRATIo-Indeed! heard not.
Heard it not, Horato? Heard you not Rhode
Island, one? two, Vermont? three, MassacEu-
sets? four, New Hampshire? five, Maine! SIX,
California? seven, Wisconsin? eight, illinois!
nine. Pennsylvania? ten, Ohio? eleven, Mary
land, and New York, twelve? (Uproarious ap-
plause) which lasted for some time, the audience
rising to their feet and cheering En- mnSSe.) And
there struck the last syllable Of recorded time
If Horatio your articular nerve was dead to that
il must be tie dull, cold err OF death with which
Won are struck The dead heard it, looked up
and wondered at the miracle. The living heard
It and reioiced, and as our army stood shoulder
to shoulder in the front, the people were standing
shoulder to shoulder in the rear. (Hs5es were
heard from few. in the audience) he who
would hiss, replied General Cochrane, when your
country is threatened, would laugh like hyenas at
tho fi1naral of your ancestors, and would gloat
over the corps Of your mother. BE had no terms
too severe for that rascal rebel rout. They who
stood manfully in arms for the Union,
believed their cause to be right, however wrong II
NAV be, but manhood was no attribute OF theirs
the copperheads. 1t was the fat of the Almighty
that he who was addicted to treason should for the
remainder of his life eat dirt (Hlsses.) Aye,
Won have it. CThe speaker addressing himself to
The marty who hissed) 1t rankles and it will
never be withdrawn but will rankle deeper and
deeper as our country ascends higher General
Cocbrane proceeded for some time In his usual
eloouent strain, and concluded by saying that
,oon would be heard throughout the land that
