, North Of pro slavery sympatLies, were no
as rendy to eacriGce wealth, position, an,
, everything, as loyal Northern mon had done
they should stand where they avowedly be
} longed--ip the ranks OF Sccessionism; for W
were stronger to fight this battle Of libort,
withous them than with them. (Great mp
plause. Sympathizers with treason were
bad as active workers in the South, aud they
should 60 by no other name than traiter.-
(Applause.) She affirmed that Abraham
Lincoln and the North were but simply work
ing out Gods plan, and it would be we'll fol
all these sympathizers with Rebellion to un,
derstand, that in oposing the war for liberty
they were simply strikins their puny fists into
the face Of God Almighty. (Applause.) The
fair seakor charged this party with seeking to
have foreign med!ations, but they saw that
Lord Lyons interference would be premature
and that no such plan would succeed until
their party was in power. She learned from
her six months experience in the hospitals
from soldiers, that wherever officers could be
found standing up against tho power which
men of the Peace Party were welding, and
il becam known, that officer and that regi.
ment were alpays sent to the front rank OF
the battle, and sacrificed, and camo back with
broken and lost numbers.
The Democratic party now stands, she said,
and cries out for compromise e--compromise-
compromise. If we yielded all wo had to
yield before the war, ar, we willing now
standing and looking the South in the fsce,
to bring back the old state Of affairs, the mob
biugs, the lyuchings, the outrages in the Sen
ate and the House Of Representatives, to put
the power again in the hands Of shareholders
the men who raised armed Rebellion and
carried it out--are we willing to compromise
and bring back that state Of things! She be-
lieved she was safe in saying that there was
no arm of compromise in all the North long
enough to stretch across the sea Of blood that
has been spilled, and the mountain of 200, 900
human beings packed between the North and
the South. (Great applause.) The Southern
people have asserted that they will have no
compromise. Will We have separation Do
we recognize what it would bring upon us
Have we drawn the boundary. .linesi Then,
if We cannot have compromise, and cannot
have separation, what is left but subjugaton,
and the fighting of this thing out to the Bit
ter end! (Applausel Inere is notnng else
left. The contest is between the aristocracy
of Slavery and the Democracy Of Freedom.
What have we TO do but to carry on the war
in the most active manneri What have we
to do, but to establish this idea throughout the
Government, that we arc 10 have men Of &C
tive measures and determined loyalty at the
head Of the civil and military departments, to
carry US on to victory, and to a great final
success. Said a great man once: "The peo-
pie are represented by their leaders," We
have shown the President and the Admins
tration, through the months that are pat
that VIC do not want such men as Mr.. Patter,
son, Gen. franklin, Fitz John Porter, Gen.
Buell. and such men at the head Of the army.
The sentiment of the people Of the North
does not wish for the head and leader of the
civil department man who has betrayed his
party, deceived his friends, abandoned his
first principle. and has, from the outset Of this
war, crouched at the feet Of revengeful and
iendish enemy. (Great applause) 1t does
not want man who proposed 10 the Presi-
dent of the United States sncaking through
Baltimore to the Capital Of the nation at
Washington; man who brought that same
President on the floor Of the Senate chamber,
and ran around introducing him 10 men who
had already declared in favor Of secession and
treason; man whose policy has been, that
he cried out against putting down tho rebel
lious States, that he gave his hands to the
Rebel Commissioners at Washington, and af |
ter the President supposed they were driven
out of Washington, sent to them that be

sired it; that was opposed to the reinforce.
mcnt Of Sumter, and when he found the Pres
ident was determined on that plan, sent,
through the hands Of bis minion, Mr.. Harvey,
word to Charleston; so that it is to this man
that we owe the disgraceful surrender of Fort
Sumter; that was crying for war with Eng.
land for tho simpl fact stands on record that
the dispatches and letters which were sent to
the New York Herald, at that time, crying
out for war with England, ostcnsibly com.
ing from the Chevalier Wykof, werc, very
many Of them, 10 the handwriting Of this man,
and, vheu even the Chevalier had written
hem, this handwriting was found in the cor.
'ections Of proof. The man that after having
brought this country to the very vorge Of a
war with England, disgraced and dishonored
Is in the eyes of the world by bis disgraceful
packing out Of the Trent affair, because wo
could do nothing else; the man that opposed
