60 10 another. Laughter. They seem
TO be changing their spots in the same
way. Before the elections they were for
the most liberal propositions of peace.
Why TO be sure they were. The South
ern people were our brethren; burning
little gunpowder and numbering a few
thousand of men, but then il would be
all right; and they hoped ii would bo
made up by some political action, and all
be smoothed over so that the brothers of
a common tie might meet again in Ma
tional Convention and nominate some
gentleman, either fit or unfit, for the
Presidency, and all go along nicely again
as before. But they came TO enunciate
these ideas, and these gentlemen at the
South seeing in their imagination rope
and kind of an uncomfortable moose az
the end Of il, which does not exactly suit
their ambition, said; we will have Moth
ing to do with you one way or the other
we will have separation any way. Then
these gentlemen began to reconsider their
idea, and some of them think that upon
the whole il is best TO prosecute the war.
That has been my idea from the begin
ming. There has not been day from
the time they fired upon Sumter to this
moment but what would have hewed
them as Saul did Agag. Cheers.
II is said we should not have negro
soldiers. Well, suppose they do, am in
favor of them. Cheers II seems TO be
feared that they will get between the
wind and our nobility. l profess TO be

tell you. Applause. But no, that is
one of the political ideas, the mean po-
litical ideas of the time to refuse to avail
ourselves of what no people in tho history
of man, either civilized or savage, ever
did refuse in the course of any war from
the time of Moses to the present day.
No people have ever refused in war. the
aid of an inferior order of civilization.
But it suited the purposes Of the day,
and hence negroes, however efficient,
must not be used in battle II detracts
from the dignity and character of those
who wish to fight the battles of their
country. Laughter must confess

this controversy it has been said that
New England must be repudiated. All,

propose TO do. Their ideas appear to be
as clear on the subject az those of Jack
Bunsby upon the subject Of navigation

| Laughter. They know not what 10 do
They are upon false premises. They are
angling and bobbing after bite from
political parties. They have not any
great and general, and leading ideas in
this matter.
They call their victory of last fall a
conservative victory. Now let us look al
that little. Go out TO the hills and
valleys 60 along the meandering streams,
20 where the stars shine in all their
beauty, and where the breezes play in all
their freshness and fragrance, and what
has been the result? Why, there you see,
