Trh DAVIS, oEN. soHErcK, AND OTHERS.
This Union demonstrstion at Dover, Del, on
Tuesday, was q slgnineent sxhlbltIon of the
tendency ofpopulnr feeling in that STATE. Tho
atteudanee was very large, one train from Will
mington carried two thousand persons. The
resolutions pledge all the resources Of the State
measures. The first speech was made by David
Dudley Field, who showed the impossibllity Of
either peace or separation, and urged the adop-
tlon by Delaware Of the emancipation policy.
Henry Winter Davis followed in speech of
great power and dlrectness, In which the ne.
cessity Of continuing tho contest until the last
rebel shall be subdued was enforced at length,
and the propriety Of destroying slavery as
means Of defence was clearly exhibited. On
this latter point Mr.. Davis said
The slavery malaria still rests over the head
Of Delaware. It indlsposos you to action, to
every manly resolve. Unconsciously, you are
suffering In the atmosphere. My friends Of
Delaware, you must clear yourself Of that ma
laTla before your hearts are right with the ma
tlon. There was time when men were ashamed
to avow they were abolltlonlsts. I am not
ashamed 10 dVow Il. Tremendous applause
~,
took up ths sIcord d1aiTa slavery. Renewed
cheering.l Ono Of the best acts OF Mr.. Lincoln
was his message advising the people of the bor-
der States to shuttle of the mortal coil Of slave
ry, and TO come out into the light and life Of
freedom and happiness. [Cheers.l II the slave
holders Of Maryland are not willing TO receive
compensation for their negroes, we will take
them without compensation. [Applause.l They
refused once to receive compensation; let the
matter rest there. They put their negroes at
their own valuations will take them at mine,
and that Is nothing" [Applause.l
At the close Of Mr.. Davis's speech, Colonel
Wilmer, Of tho Sixth Delaware Regiment, pro-
posed "three cheers for the emancipation Of
Delaware" which were given vociferously.
Judge Bond, of Baltimore, followed In a short
and humorous speech, defending the emancipa-
tion policy and other measures of the Admins
tration, and introducing many illustrations,
which were received with great satisfaction.
The closing speech was made by General
Schenck. In the course Of his remarks he said,
" You people of Delaware have memories.
We Of the West have hopes. But our memo
ries and hopes concern the same subject. One
of your best memories is that which reminds
you that here, upon the spot where we now
stand, a tory named Cheney Cloud was hung,
during the Revolutionary war, for his hostility
to our fathers. He deserved TO be hung. Then
what, in the name Of God, would you say Of
the scoundrel who would now, when these in
stitutions have riponed which our fathers suf-
tered so much to establish, arise to strike them
down, aud deprive US of our nationality
Cheney Cloud was gentleman and patriot com
pared with the Copperhead Of this day. Jap
plause. hold that in these times there is no
middle ground. He who does not give his in
iueuce for his country that far fails In his
duty, and should be treated accordingly. Trea-
son is a crime-a crime Of tho blackest charac-
ter. And If treason be crime, sympathiEers
with treason are criminals. The sooner we
understand that, the better"
