we were not unit at any time, and SO
Lee invaded Pennsylvania. He,boped
to take w Washington, TO raise lnsurrec-
tion all over the land, as every Knight
of the third degree of the Golden Cir
Gle knew well enough !! The only thing
that made all this programme a failure
was because Lee could not whip Meade.
This was the plan of the rebel sytnpal
Ithizers who were SO anxious to save
the nCenstitution. y Londs ironicalI

The, only hope. of the South to-day
was in the traitors of the North. They
bad been promised, and they expected,
material aid from the North. RI Would
the audience give it to them No !!
no He was sure of that. Benedict
Arnold had gone DOWN to death amidst
the anathemas of ALI good men, aand
his name was deeply damned in his
tory; but the Copperhead wretches
who had sympathized with and helped
the rebels would be hundred times
more, deeply damned, both, in the pres
ent life. and the future hell. They
were Pariahs and traitors, unfit to
dwell in a free country with honest
men. ........,.
Mr.. Chandler concluded bis address
with the following words, which we

But shall We succeed ? In looking
over these sections and townships Of
people, who are determined that we
Eshalllsucceed, and taking into ayoount
our recent successes and the unmistak-
able indication that the God of battles
is. with ius, should think it rather
probable that we shall. oid[ Cheers. I
What will then be the condition of the
Northern ID Copperheadsi? Beheaict
Arnold was simply true totae Govern
ment he, had sworn to protect, 4 He
merely changed his mind as To .hislob-
legations of loyalty to his old iGoveral-
ment. What have these traitors sworn
allegiance to? They have sworn allie
glance TO the Rattlesnake Government.
Have they any rightto go against their
own Government? Has 1t ever op-
pressed them? | trow not. F,rcat
These rebel traitors of the North will
go down into history with worse iufa-
mics on their. heads than Benedict
Arnold. There will be no cave or pile
of rocks deep enough to cover them
from the damnation of this people.
Loud cheers. They have upon their
heads all the blood that has. been shed.
TO extend to them the right hand of
fellowship is something | never can do
and never shall do .y,3
My friends, what is to be the result
of this great rebellion (? l will tell You
what, in my Judgment, is to be the re
suit. The rebellion is, to-day, upon its
last legs. The whole male population
OF the, South, from the age of sixteen,
is now in the rebel army. They have
none at home capable of shouideriug
musket. They have even sent their
children-torced them into the rebel
ranks. There young lnen and old men
have laid down aud died like sheep.
They have not had the same hospital
attentions, and clothing and provisions
for their wants that our soldiers have
had. With all their stupendous efforts
to keep mp their army, they are now
exhausted. They may make one more
spasmodic effort and then their game
is finished. tCheers. They will have
failed in the contest. Instead of hav-
ing established slave empire, they
will, by their own acts, have destroyed
all the securities that slavery ever pos
sessed /; they will have swept away all
compromises by which slavery has
been tolerated by forbearing people.
This great negro question is settling
itself In manner more arbitrary and
certain than we could have settled it.
1t is being settled by God Almighty,
aud / am content with his. settlement
of the great question, When this qnes-
tian is settled, we are coming ont of
rebellion the greatest military Govern
ment on God Almighty's earth, more
thoroughly prepared to maintain and
transmit our glorious, heritage of free
dom than ever before. [Cheers. And
we will have more freedom to transmit.
lCheers. When this war commenced,
we could borrow only about three mil
lions of dollars, and that at rate equiv
aIent to about fourteen per cent. We
have spent twelve hundred millions Of
dollars, and to-day our securities are
above par. We owe every dollar. TO
ourselves. Our condition excites the
wonder of the governments of Eurone.
