NORTHERN ELECTIONS
Governor MORTON, of Indiana, said;
You have come together tonight, as l
understand il, 10 give assurance to the
brave men in the field, that they have
not been deserted or abandoned by their
friends at home. can say 20 you that
while our brave soldiers have regarded
with Tho greatest indignation the recent
manifestations on the part of portion
of the people Of thu North, and they
have expressed their feelings in resolu-
tons and addresses not only the SOL
diers Of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but
of other States. At the same time am
assured that deep feeling of uneasiness
pervades the army on account of the
manifestations and tAlkings of portion
Of the people in the Northern States.
Have you ever, my friends, considered
the sacrifices which these men have made
in going to the field? You arc here TO-
night, warm and comfortable, peacefully
assembled together under favorable and
pleasant circumstances, while thoy are
in the field, in their tents or without
tents, deprived Of nearly all the comforts
which you enjoy; exposed 10 sickness,
disease and death in almost every form.
ask you il you have ever properly con
sidered the sacrifices which these men
have made? Have you ever taken home
to yourselves, and endeavored to under
stand the sacrifices each man has made
who has left all these comfortable sur.
roundings behind him and has gone tc
the field Of battle, with his life in his
hand, that his country may be preserved
If you, do not understand these things
YOU cannot appreciate the feelings OF
modification, the feelings of anguish
that peryade the minds of our soldiers
when they read the speeches, the resolu-
tons, and the developments that are
being made by those whom they left be-
hind, They believs they have gone foftl
TO fight in just cause they believe tina
they will triumph if they are sustained
and il is now solemn and imperative
duty on the part of those who ore a
home, 70 assure our brave soldiers tina
they shall be sustained under any snc
all circumstances. Cheers.
As has just been remarked by Mr.
stanberry, these submissionists Of thu
North tell us that we cannot conquer thu
South. They belong to that class o
60 about to fulfill il, in laboring to pre-
vent the subjugation of the rebels, th,
suppression of this rebellion. Are they
not laboring 10 divide our council, divid
our neral, our physical, and politiea
power at homo, that they may thus fulfil
the prophecy that they have made iron
the beginning, which is, that we oanno
suppress this rebelliOn2 And / tell yo
now, that il we shall fail TO suppress thi
rebellion, that that failure can be trace
directly TO the Vaccinations and the op
, erations .Of these submissionists Of th
l. North. Cheers. And they tell 20
|, too, that the people of the Northern State
l have expressed themselves against thi
: war, have expressed themselves agains

that by the recent elections they have de
olared in favor Of peace; and they poir
