remarks Of Webster, which are as follows:
"But, sir, il the Government does its
"duty; if it acts with frmness and moder-
cation, these opinions cannot prevril. Be
"assured, sir, that among the political sen
"liments of this people, the lore of Union
'is still uppermost. They will stand
"fast by the Constitution, and by those
"who defend it. rely en- no temporary
''expedient, or no political combination.
"but rely on the true American feeling,
'the genuine patriotism of the people,
land the imperative decision Of the pub

"and contest are threatened and perhaps,
"may come, with my whele soul. pray

"cause of the Constitution--the true glo-

and predictions of that great man. |
have been hoping, since this war com
meneeh. that the Cincinnati Gazette, o,
some other reliabl? journal, would have
found space to have printed Calhoun and
Webstel's speeches on that subject
This was is political war. The South
has had the ruling Of this Government,
almost ever since its organization. They
have had the High Courts-,hey have
had almost all of the Presidents, and the
controlling influence in Congress, until
recently. They have seen for years that
the non, slaveholding States. would with
their rapil growth, have the ruling pow,

These leaders are, Henry A. Wise. jeff
Davis, Mason, Slidell, Wigfall, Brecken
ridge, and host of others are now found
engaged in this most horrible rebellion

all the preparations for seeding, for the
last eight or ten years, and they are now
in the midst of this uncalled for war, andl
will have to submit eventually.

ders; obey all your officers, when you are
put on guard, b. extremely careful to do
your duty. | want you to take pride in
attending to your horses. Learn the drill
and learn to ride. for you have had but little
experance, and it is necessary that you
become expert caYalrymen.
Fellow soldiers Let me once more SAY
