81 see, my countrymen, that you need no
speech, to might. have not come for the pur-
pose of speaking; | have come to express
my profound sympathy. | feel that am with
the unconditional Union men Of Maryland.
(Applause.) 70 you our whole country looks
for the ratification of what we did in Ohio.
(Cries of Good, bully for Ohio, &c Twen-
ty thousand majority promised in Maryland
cannot, by Ohio men at least, be regarded as
quite equal to one hundred thousand given in
Ohio for the same cause, but in Maryland it
tells the whole country that the Union is safe
beyond peradyenture.
ii read here to might, 'The Union 'Eman-
cipaton,' 'Goldsberough,' The Union First
Emancipation is sure means of perpetuating
the Union, securing the triumph of the Union
cause, and the election of your worthy cand-
date as symbol which Maryland gives of her
fidelity to the great cause. (ApplauSe.) l
thank you, my friends, in kind terms, Tor this
introduction. l wish | were worthy to be
counted leader of such host as this, but, my
countrymen, the time has come when the peo-
pie are the leaders.
"When people have become aroused to a
consciousness of their own dignity, their own
manhood, and their own interests, they will
trample under foot any leader who dares to
desert the principles of freedom, justice and
the Union. cloud cheering.) You are about
to show yourselves wise and patriotic men, by
returning to his seat in congress-two years
occupied by man of widely different princi-
ples-the patriotic, gallant, eloquent, fearless
man who has borne the standard in this state.

ard of the contest. Other men might have
paused, but Winter Davis went straight
on (applause), other men might have doubt
ed, but Winter Davis never faltered. Voices
-"Never!") Then stand by him; he has
stood by you and your interests, as you are
determined to stand. We shall welcome him
at Washington as strong, solid prop of our
cause.
'Fellow citizens, one word more. The I'M
conditional Union cause is one and the same
throughout the land. 1t is one here in Mary
land; it is one in Ohio; tits one in Missouri;
and the time has come when all uncondtion-
al Union men OF the whole country must stand
together, and shrink from no responsibility
which the times may bring about. You will
shrink from none. You will do your duty on
the 4th of November. You will proclaim
your adhesion to the cause of the Union, and
to the cause of emancipation in tones which
cannot be misunderstood. l hail this grand
meeting, this grand Outpouring of the people,
as sure symbol and pledge of the times
(Applause.) | did not come here to make a
speech. (Cries ot-"Go on; go onrD You
are very kind, but there are other gentlemen
here who will address you much more accept
ably than | can, for it is my business to work
and not to talk. AN just going back to do
my work. l am paying off the army. Oong
and continuous cheering.)
