HANCOCK AWAKE.
The Union Rally of Tuesday

Hon. John ?. Hale Of New Hampshire
and Senator Morrill, according to announce
ment addressed the citizens of Hancock
County Tuesday afternoon on the Court
House green.
The immense crowd and the tremendou.
enthusiasm, showed that Hancock County
was sure OF bigger majority for Samue
Cony than was ever given for any candidate
before. Senator Hale spoke with his usuaI
! force Of argument and pleasant humor. lie
gave the creed and plan of the Corpcrhcad
rartv, as he had received them from their
great leader franklin Pierce. Their creed
is, as enumerated by Ex-president Pierce
First the rebellion must ba met by mora
/ force, if that fails every man must look ou:
1 for himsef-must cut and run. if then we
are overpowered, we must all 81 up 10 Con
+ cord and bulG a,auso!eum Of hearts. Then
the copperhead measures are "moral force,
"cut and run. '"look out for yourself and
"mousoieun Of hearts"
Senator Morrill, showed clearly that the
inconsistency of the men who claimed to be
for the war two years ago and who are now
copperheIds, Was unequalled in the history
Of political parties We do not pretend to
give anything like review of these speeches
We only mention points of especial promiu-
enee
Hon. G. c. Woodman spoke at Lords Hall
in tine evening The Hall was crowded and
many failed to secure an entrance within
the doors.
We have seldom, if ever, heard more eff
icctive, earnest and telling speech for the
Union cause. The frequent applause told
that the audience appreciated the truths
urged home and meant to act upon them.
abraham Lincoln is not carrying on this
war contrary to the constitution. You can
not put your finger on single oek .torbfddea
By the Constitution. He OF necessity goes
outside Of and beyond the Constitution
The Constitution makes no provision Tor a
civil war. 1t could not consistently. 1t
would have been ruinous to It to have So
provi ed There is no provision in the con-
stitution for blowing out the brains of a
single rebel
The strictly CONSTITUTE nal way to put
down rebellion would be for a United States
Marshal to take a cart had Of writs and a
posse e0mhafus and % out and meet Lees
army Of hundred tbousand-arrest the men
one by Que, give them a trial and if they are
found guilty hang them. This would be
the way provided in the constitution. But
power not in the constitution-net con
trary to it however, is demanded.
TIE great question now is, not how shall
we carry on the government, but SHALL WE
HAVE GOVERNMENT? SHALL We HAVE a
COUNTRY >"

Importance to communicate, for the opera
tons in this department are as soon announ-
ced in New York as they are generally known
at this post. Sumter no doubt, however, Is
mere mass of ruins The loss Of that fort
to the rebels must give cause for alarm. 1t
was one Of the principle distractions to the
eity--its principal defence. But Sumter has
fallen and the reduction of other forts in
that vicinity is with Gilmore a mere question
doubt is inevitable. With few more Grants
and G.lmOres, and this rebellion would soon
become Il thing Of the past. Methinks,
however. that can see through it even now
Its foundation is fast crumbling away. The
tide of misfortune is turned against it. \
few more days and then will come the final
though desperate struggle, and moment af-

1t is now about two years since we bid our

Rebellion totters everywhere. From the
West the news is most cheering, Rosecran'

| Chattanooga must soon be ours. Bragg
force in defence is estimated at 10000
whether we shall entrap and destroy this
force or drive them IN confusion remains &c

eient to sweep everything before it.
Burnside has advanced and taken posses.
sion Of knoxville. and is about to MAKE
movements Of the utmost Importance. Com
muaication has been established between
Generals Rosecrans and Burnside. They
can uaite their forces at any day. Rebel
lion has been cleaned out in East Tennessee

There Is i steady progress on the part Of cur

There are doubtless soon to be important

1t is stated from New Orleans that much

The further talk among these rebel sym

Sua4ci Cony against Rloa Bradjur u
Samuel Cony and Bion Bradbury We're both
Douglas Democrats in 1860. Early in 1861,
after the breaking out Of the rebellion they
b tn declared themselves for the Union and
haters of treason in any form Both have
been elected to the legislature by Republican
Union votes.
Tie war has listed more than two years.
During all the time Samuel Cony has given
it an unconditional support. lie declared
himself at first for putting down rebellion
and saving the country. When it became
necessary for our salvation to destroy the sys-
tenn of slavery Samuel Cony flltered not in his
support of the administration of Abraham
Lincoln. lie was for the Union at first. lie
has always been for the Union.
He is now the Union mans candidate for
for governor.
During the first few months of the war
Bion Bradbury gave it his support. lie
thought at FIRST that he WAS for the Union
" with or without Slavery He opposed
the copperh ads at the election Of ISGl.-
lie worked against John W. Dana and con.
de,uned him as traitor. Bat he loved
Slavery better than the Union. lie is now

right from the heart Of "Hoaest OIL Abe "

rebellion He believes it has got to be
fought down, lie means to establish a

lie believes that he has right to use sla-

similar, has been seen almost every day Tor

was made the object OF severe IRE from the
