Territory Of Washington and sli these TERRITORIES

II. Ls. me now consider briefly this second mode
OF obtaining power. by5procdrns an srm,sice, call
ing q Nstional Convention, amending tas SonsH.a,
reconstructiug tho Union BY turning olt the ak
NewgEn gland States. We know very we'll that the
Rebels Will not come back with all the Free States
10 the Uuion. Il would still be in the minority 10
the Government, as they are the minority ip the
populations. To remove this difficulty, H B pro-
posed 90 tufn New. England out, 70 Is to get South
Caroline aud the other Southern States in. We
would then live in o Confederacy of twenty-eight
States, Of which fifteen would DO Slave States and
thirteen would DO FREQ Sta e. That would give
the South permanent majority 10 the Senate Of tho
Uui.ed States for they would take care never again
70 admit aootber Free state INTO The Union. What
then would be our condition What u the condi.

Hungary 10 Austria Sach would be our condition
were We TO consent 10 q new COnfederaey con.

ali other parts Of the country together, do we owe
this Revolutionary war, aid all the mighty train Of
conse uences that have followed II, 90 important 70
ourselves and TO the world. Toe Revelation bad is
origin in New-Englaod, and New England gave
moro soldiers than all tho other States Iogetber for
the purpose Of carrying IL on TO successful issue.
Mas chusests gave over rs, 900 men. while South
Carolina gave few hundred over 1000 Yet the
proposition 10 made 70 kick Massachusetts, out, 80
coax South CaroGns to come in. We are 10 turn
out 10 raj states in order TO induce this viper TO
turn 10 nestle In our bosom. We will bring the
yper back but IL will not be until after its fangs arc
extracted This scheme " too dishonorxblo 70 DO
pursued and yet ths scheme Is Older than toe war.
IL bas ,ts advocates Ia your city and in ell the
Northern states dismiss it ~ subject too repug

I'LL. l come then to the last method OF obtaining
neaca by suppre ssing The rebellion and conquerDg
peace. iAppfause.l In the first place, allow me to
consider very briefly the progress OF the war; WhAs
progress have We made ! l know we arc Az i'm
pslisnt people We want great things accomplished
n a yery shor period. We have failed properly 70
consider the msgpitude Of the rebellion and the DIFF
6culties OF the undertaking. When we shall have
cooked over the ground we shall hnd thai our pro-
oress after all has been highly satisfactory aud such
a TO We the most CO ident hopes Of success IN
the future We have secured Kentackyi we have
hare 4 uYan
we have great part Of Louisiana; we have Mary
land: we lave ID slsware; we have considerable
part Of old Virginia; considersbiS part OF North
Carolina, and large pars OF ienneesee. we have
at this time more than half the Rebel territory aud
more than third OF al It's population. The nigh,
TO reumble Is one Of our prerogalives. We are g
gru bling people. We grumels at the President
4 have nc doubt that the President has committed
faults. He baa been placed 10 moretryiog and diM-
cult position than any Executive the nation ever had
The petition Of Gen. w sshngton was never more DIM
cult ignore important than that Of Abraham Lin
cop II the Presdsut bad not erred, under all thess
irving circumstances il would have been more than
human. You who are familiar with the history OF
our Revolution remember what bitter opposition
was waged against Gen. Washington, almost
throughout the war You remember The com plants
they made Of want OF succszs, complaints OF his
tardiness and how from time 10 time the hearts Of
the people sank within them. But still they hell
on and victory fnsly crowned our arms and blessed
our cause. Tnere was still . ooahdsscs thai took
fast hold OF the hearts OF the people a. that time, OF
the integrity, the purity, the sound Judgment of
Gen. Washington. And tell you to-day that the
gceat oyerrhadowiug element In the character OF
Abraham Lincoln is his uuimpeachabls integrity.
lAppauss.l II 10 the confidence that this nation
has that he is an honest man, that ne loves his coun

welfare OF his country, that II he errs IL 10 the er
ror of the head aod not Of the heart; and con-
graduate the nation that IN this great hour Of trial
we have for our President % honest and up
right a man as Abraham Lincoln. Applause

said that bs Ia not doing his part well, and that
many of the misforsunes Of the war arc to be s.trb

errors; but have watched bis course narrowly,
have had much 10 DO with him in the administration
Of military affairs In Indiana, and take great pleas

Of It's brightest and best pages. may speak, too,
with propnety, Of Secresary Chase. He received
lhs Treasury, 90 IL came rom the hands Of Cobb,
without . single grain In is. iiaughIer.l IL had
been impoverished by him purposely 70 parsyzs the
po of the Government to resist the Rebellion
That was part Of tho scheme, part Of she poI,oy
which characterized tho whole Administration Of
Mr.. Chase has resurrectsd she credit of
the nation; and this fabric Of the rational credit
never stood so high a. at the present time. Il Is
our boast that we have carried OH the war up TO
tnis time without being compelled TO call upon Eu.
rope to furnish angle dollar ~ has been correctly
stated in one Of the resolutions you have Just adopt
Cd; and tho prospect Is that We shall carry the
war 70 the end and crush out the Rebellion without
calling upon Europe 10 lend Us sings dollar tor
that purpose. The plan Of obtaining peace that l
am 10 favor Of, is by crushing out the Rebellion.
How sre to do that The great instrumentalities
70 DO employed are the army and the navy. They are
by force aud violence 70 destroy this Gov
ernmeut,apo ueet them by loTce and violence,
We must therefore maintain the army snd the
navy In heir efciency and keep them In operstiol
