GENERAL cAREYs SPEECH.

Speeches Mt the south Side OF the Post
GExER cAREY's SPEECH.
The crowd was so large that there weres
great many that could not get near enough
to the speakers stand to hear. According
" a stage was improvised at the south side
Of the Postofice building, from which Ten
eral s. F. Carey Of Cincinnati, addressed
the people, making one Of those slashing,
oFbaud and humorous speeches for which
he is noted, whether in fighting the Demon
a Intemperance or the Demon Of Secession,
between whom, by the way, there is no
doubt a close relationship. He dealt blows
to rebels and copperheads alike-eonsider-
ing the former a little the decentest OF the
two. With regard to the cost Of the war,
he said If it resulted in establishing our
Government firmly, that we need have no
fears in handing it down to our children
IL would be cheap at a thousand millions
sf dollars. What says the stauneh Union
man? "Take oil 1 have, take money and
goods. Leave me, if necessary, without q
coat to my back, but give my children the
benefits Of q free government and die
content" He drew a picture Of the man
who shakes his head obviously over the
probable cost Of the war, aud said that he
belonged to the class who would never get
religion if grace wasn't free. Such men
are the material for politicians to work on.
If the Government isn't goOdfOr anything,
/ what is good for anything.
He believed that there was a Providence
in this war. He believed that the God Of
Abraham of old is the God Of our Abra-
ham. The war will not be ended until the
object for which the Almighty brought 1t
about freedom to the slave) is accomplish
ed.
He spoke Of the man who talks against
"a g~reenbacks," emancipation, the cOnscrip-
ton, arbitrary arrests, sc, as one whose
LOYALTY might we'll be questioned. A truly
loyal man will uphold the efforts OF the
| Governmental maintain itself. Hereminded
Il Democrats that General Jackson their
great leader, suspended the habsase0rPHsin
New Orleans, and threatened to susPendthe
Judge who opposed him in it. The Oonstl-
tuition says the writ OF hd6eds corpus may
be suspended in time Of rebellion, although
it fails to specify by whom it should be sus-
pended. The speaker believed that Con-
gress or the President could suspend the
writ, and would 60 further. He believed
that the commander of a post had q right
to suspend the writ.
Their is q great deal Of talk nowadays
about arbitrary arrests Loyal men have
been arbitrarily arrested before now with
out q murmer. When Cincinnati was
threatened General Wallace made an arbi-
trary arrest Of sl the men he required 10
dig Entertainments, sc. Who shall say that
General Wallace invaded the rights of oiti-
zens in thatease2 With regard to the free
dom Of the press being abridged, the speak
err alluded to the time during Pierce's Adj
ministration in which Abolition documents
were thrown out of the mails -~pOstmasters
being left to judge whether they were in
~eendiary or not.
He said we have treated those scOundrel-
" traitors as honorable men, when there
is not q convict in the Ohio Penitentisry
whose crime does not whiten into purity
BY the side Of theirs. If there were any
copperheads in the crowd they must have
|, skunk away as the speaker poured out the
walls Of honest Indignation upon their
heads. He spoke for nearly two hours, in
i, terspersing his remarks with pertinent sn-
/, ecdotes which few can tell as well as he,
He ezhorted his listeners to lay aside party
Z spirit, sinking the politician in the patriot.
, In closing, he complimented the patriotism
! which has already been exhibited by the
; people, and paid a high and deserved trib-
, ute to the women Of the North for their de.
I votion to the Government, and care for
} the welfare Of the soldier.
e Judge SpaldiRg then called for three
. cheers for General Carey and the Country
which were given with a viii.
, JUDGE BONDS SPEECH.
The meeting was addressed in the after
noon at the south side Of the Post Office
by Judge Bond, Of Baltimore. He sale
the people Of the South looked to th'
North to deliver them from the rule Of
JEFF. Davis, and the question now is vii
the North prove faithful TO the trust
= The rebels Of the South believe if they
can once break through the lines Of oul
= army the Northern people will hurl The
o present administration from power anC
0 support JEFF. Davis as the President. Or
: all sides we hear men cry out for peace
u men who are growing rich every day o.
their lives are the loudest in making thesl
demands, and why ? Not from any low
Of country, notthat they care for the hun
dreds and thousands that have been slain
but because they are afraid that party
must be sacrificed. Men call this war Q
political mOVe-a party matter. Copper
heads, men who talk treason but who arr
/ afraid to fight, tell us this every day.
z But the war must go on, the conserip
e ton law mustbe enforced, and every MAI
e who resists it will ~inaugurate a civil war
e And if any one wishes to do this let him
|, visit the farms Of Maryland, Kentucky
and Virginia made waste and desolate BY
the hands Of rebels, and he viii see whaI
; civil war is.
e We sre working to a glorious end, per
], haps slowly, but surely. We have res
; cued West Virginia, Kentucky, n q par
. of Louisiana, and it is idle to think Of com.
3 promise. Send the COpperheads Soutl
/ and they will become traitors as soon a
4 they reach the promised land. There /
q but one difference between them and tn
q soldiers in the rebel ranks, th'
4 latter fight while COpperheads only
bitterly grumble and find fault with
the Administration. The "nigger" is al
b ways before them, the South are anxioul
D to rid themselves Of slavery, but Copper
I heads won't let them. Where slavery !
traitors abound.
Let every man support the President II
all his measures to squeleh the rebellion
