in my Democratic friends, do not take tina
d. all back. ! cannot do it, upon my word
| cannot. No, no, you are right."l lie
O. Us either say this Government is all righ
N in taking away these elements of discOrC
=, from among us, or let US do the othe
It thing. postpone it till 10y and by.
EE HoNEsT-BE LOYAL.
Is this time to be fighting the Gov
; Ernment. when the Government is fight
II ing the leaders of a rebellion-in this day
q OF our trial? Would you tear down the
q temple because some unLeliever comes
: among the faithful? Would you teal
. down the enlightened institution oI
! Christianity becau~e some hypocrite may
90 deeds OF darkness and crime !? Would
n vou abolish the institutions of learning
] the land because abuses have crept in ?
Are you going to stop the progress of
: thls war because some Internal Copper
i head has been unmasked and put in a
; dungeon! No, no, and cheers.l If you
would you are not the people take You
TO be. Then if you do not like to en-
dorse this thing-if you do like 10 en-.
dorse Mr.. Lincoln's Administration, YOU
ought to say well let this matter alone
for the present; ii there is anything
wrong we will not call them back, but
put men OF trust and honor in their
places"
THERE MUST BE UNITY AMONG Us.
We cannot afford to quarrel among our
selves at this time. IL is neither good
sense nor good judgment, TO say nothing
OF good patriotism. Have we served so
long in the party ranks that we are bound
to oppose the Government, if administer
ed by our political opponents. because one
of our party has been sent off to rest in
prison for having abused the use of his
tongue: Or must we needs follow the
party banner, even if borne by some fool
lsh fellow, no matter whether he runs ov-
er plain or a prec.pice? 1t will be
very foolish to oppose the Government
What will YOU accomplish by it?
PEACE MEN KICKED BY JEFr. DAVIS.
] Do you know how they are met on the
other side Of the line? Do you know
now the Richmond papers chuckle over
I this thing-not that it will bring peace
or compromise, but they say, The tel
| lows are divided among themselves, and
we will whip them by and by" That is
the result of factious and traitorous
course on this side of the line Hear the
conspirators: I'VE will whip them by
and by, and reposSess ourselves of the
Mississippi, when we will reorganize new
Confederacy and take in the West. We
will do it by the aid OF the peace party of
the North" There is nothing of it, for
there is not Peace party that dare to
move in such an effort; but you give just
as much aid and comfort to them by your
profession as if You did aid them.
DEMOCRACY SHOULD BE LOYAL.
If any OF my Democratic friends here
can reconcile this course with duty they |
owe their country, to be engaged in pro- |
ceedingS of this kind, | cannot. Is it q |
duty to your State or to your country p
Is 1t duty to your party, even? If it is, |
wipe that party out. My desire and ambi- |
ton has been to see this great Democrat !
ic party foremost in this fight to avenge |
the acts by which, before the first gun |
was fired at Sumter, the Democratic par
~ was slain in the house of its frie nds-l
If have any mere party feeling of bit |
ternes in me its because they struck down 4
that party before they assailed the coun-
try.
OTHER OBJECTIONS CONSIDERED.
Have you any objections to the prose
cution Of this war? If YOU have | would |
like to know what they are, for have no
more on my list, and l made it up from
speech of distinguished friend of mine
on the other side, in which | suppose he
had them all summed up.
WHAT PEACE MEANS
Well you say we want peace between
these two great divided sections. Bless
your soul, my friends, so do /, and so does
every man in the length and breadth of
this land; and so for seven long years,
through the war of the Revolution, we
wanted peace all the time: and so in the
war Of 1872, We asked for peace continu-
ally. But during neither of these were
we willing to take peace if it trammeled
our hands or sacrificed our honor. If you
want peace now, pray tell me how you
are going TO get it. What is your pro-
gramme. | have read seven or eight
speeches recently, and found none declar-
ed for anything but that of Fernando ;
Wood, and that is by diplomacy But di-
plomacy Is not sharp enough on the edge |
yet. You have heard many of your po- :
itical leaders talk about peace comprom- I
seS; but the papers of the Southern States =
rom the Richmond Enquirer down to the :
owest seven-by-nine, have hurled back !
he proposition in your teeth, and declar- +
I'd you should get no peace but by ac- ,
the Southern Confederacy. +
Are you willing to give itup, and acknowl- \
.dge the Confederacy? mo. no." Are {
-ou prepared to dissever the bonds of this q
Union? Never" Then don't talk =
bout peace until you have won it with y
he sword. Don't talk about peace until g
lou have won it with honor under the .
and the flag, and reduced i
he rebels to subsection. ! tell you that t
'ou can win no peace by diplomacy, for |
hey will make no concession to you, and t
hey will spurn you if you ask them to \
lame II. I
now DO YOU EXPECT TO GET PEACE? v
How do you expect to get peace? For
he life of me | cannot see how you are
,olng to get it. Do you expect it by tram +
neEng and binding the hands of the ma
ion? Do you expect to get it by refusing
" putting in power an Administration a
opposed to the further prosecution of it? il
I you do, then you are preparing chains Fl
o bind yourselves in servitude more de- i:
rading than that the negroes suffer in n
he South? h
THE CRITTENDEN RESOLUTIONS. h
Do for heavens sake tell me how you .
re going to do it except by fighting tout. +,
A Voice.-"Crittenden resolution" q
Mr.. Brought is said the Crittenden E.
esolution might bring itabout. This res II
luton was offered them before the war, .,
nd not man was ready to take it, and n
he North would have been very sorry if q,
hey had accepted it. |, for one, spurn n
he Crittendon resolutions, and l do it for (,
he reason that the first gun fired upon n
umptef, relieved us from the thraldom
{ Slavery; and l never desire tosee peace q,
estored with the political power of this n,
lstitution reinstated. What guaranty r
ave you, my friends, that the Critten- ri
en- resolutions will secure peace, that it Y,
ould be acceptable to the other side, or h,
