| thank you, gentlemen and fellow
citizens, for this compliment 10 an hum
BILE mand and a stranger 10 you. thank
you all the more that know Il is not TO
me alone, but 70 the gallant army under
Rosecrans, the Amy Of the Cumberland,
to which have tine proud henor of be-
ing attached. There are no truer friends
OF the Union in the whole United States
than the friends Of the man who is
shrined in the heart Of every Pennsyl-
vAniAn--Henry Clay Of Kentucky. Loud
cheering
On that account feel that am less as
a stranger TO you. No loyd man from
the land of Henry Clay can be stranger
60 you. l feel, alec, less a stranger TO
YOU because have been associated in
the prosecution of this war with many
of the sons Of Pennsylvania, and no
better or brRper soldiers can be found In
the Army of the Cumberland than lhe
soldiers Of the Keystone, Renewed
| cheering Their bones are now ming
ling with the bones Of Kentucky's sons,
on her own soil and the great bAttleilelds

to the friends Of the troops. LApplause.l ]
/ come from q State that, think, has
been treated with great injustice, in
my judgment ever since the commence
/ ment oil the war. There is no more 10y
al State in the Union than Kentucky.
She has Just proved her loyalty by the
election of Bramlette as Governor by over
10000 majority on Union ticket. She
has. since the war broke out, notWith-
standing all her divisions, furnished
nfty odd full regiments and placed them
in the field. Applause
You have your own divisions here, my
countrymen. ] am sorry 10 see you have
men here who are opposing ths Govern
ment, with no other reason than tho
apology Of prejudice; and we have men
with the same views In Kentucky, with
no better reason for the course they pur-
ane. The course of all these men Is the
same, in what they may say or what
they may do, they are the friends OF the
enemies Of the country and traitors al
heart. Great applause
There are but Iwo parties In the coun-
try, as the lamentsd Douglas said a few
dSys before his death. There can be
but two parties In tho country; one in
favor of the war and one against ~. On'
that is 10 favor of tho Union aud tbs
Constitution, and one that Is opposed u
il. Lam in favor Of the Union and OPP
posed to every man who is opposed &
the Government Of Washington Rnd JET
erson. Applause.
