A Speech from Gov. Noble, OF Wis
CODStn.

| CVUSEus
AT a meeting of Union men at Phila-
delphia, on the 30th, among other speak
ers Gov. Noble appeared:
"For two years and half" he said,
war has been raging in the land. When
the war broke out there were croakcrs
on both sides of the Atlantic, but the
greatest croaker was Mr.. John Bull
The LONDON Times, forgetful of the Rev.
olution and 1872, said that such peo-
pic could not carry on a war. The man
ufacturing interest would perish the
great West would produce nothing. and
the laboring classes would want for
bread. The war has been carried on,
and there is now more buyers and sell
lers in the commercial cities of the Union
than we're there before. The whole land
is more prosperous than it was ever before
save in the regions where cotton once
was king, and fax has superseded cot
ton. In little while, the speaker hoped
hemp would find market. One million
of men have been placed in the fald;
their ammunition has been manufactured
and the armies sustained, and all with
out dollar coming from the other side
of the Atlantic to assist the young Re.
public Of the West.
There is a Providence in all this
The croakers carped that there would be
no light in our houses, because we could
get no turpentine to make camphene of.
But old Pennsylvania Ding holes in her
soil, and brought out light enough for
all the country. and turpentine too.-
The American people are too mighty to
be duuntcd in anything.
The speaker alluded to the lessons
taught by the war. The weak policy
pursued by our armies at first was to
protect the property of Rebels TO guard
their grain fields when that grain was
growing for Rebel soldiers, aud Penn
sylvania blue backs freze their feet. be-
cause the Rebel fence rails had to be
protected. If man brought informa-
ton to the camp, he was, negro, sent
back to his master This was all right
for it educated the land, and the strong
lessons it inculcatcd led to the future
policies, which proved so successful in
crushing the power of the rebellion.
The speaker advocated to the employ
ment of any means to subduc the Rebel
lion. The enlistment of the blacks re.
ceived his support. Abiding to the al
legged superiority Of the white race over
the black, he contended that it depen-
ded on the men who we're white or black.
He would rather shake hands with Rob-
crt Small than Robert Toombs Because
Frederick Douglas has more brains than
Ben Wood, it does not prove that the
whites are inferior to the blacks
Whether white or black, superior or in.
fcrior, all and every fundamentally
should be employed to crush out rebel
lion. The war is for the determination
of treason, not Of slavery. If slavery,
as contingent of the war, becomes
abolished, let it fall If it rises against
the Government, lei the power of the
Government roll it in the dust. The
freedom of the slaves will but increase
the wants of these people. With free
dom will come new advantages; and new
advantages will create new desires and
new wants, and trade, powerful and
vigorous, will spring up in the North TO
supply the negroes whom the war will
free in the South.
Treason is crime. All crimes need
Furnishing, but the highest crimes re-
quire the greatest punishment. 1t should
be crushed out and the people of the
land all reclaimed to their former devo-
ton to the grand old flag. The speaker
urged his arguments further. He re-
viewed the New York mob at length and
styled Fernando Wood, the great Tycoon
of the Democratic party, whose only
course at present is to oppose the action
of the Government. He closed with the
assertion that the war for the Union is
Just and equitable one, and that the
only way to bring it to successful close
is to elect the Union ticket in Pennsyl-
yonio
