refugees, and are yet in the rear of our
army for protection; especially those
who are STOUT, hearty, able bodied young
men, thar are skulking around like COW
ards and arc not going into the service
like men, aud especially like Tennes-
scans ought to, to drive the invading foe
Off our once fair and happy homes. In
the lrst place [ ask what have they at
stake? What do they expect? In the
name Of our country, what can they ex-
pect? Do they wish to lay dormant, and
stand with heir arms folded, as though
it was but a holiday? Have they not
the same homes, families, aud Gresides to
protect that we have ? Are not their Ia
terest closely identified with ours in
every respect? Do they expect TO stand
still, aud do nothing bat say | am a
Union man now in the great hour OF

them Ia the tone OF WAsHnGToN, TO lend
a helping hand? Shame on all such

Oil ye co wards! They tell you how
they have been run or from home, their

What EsazsfeI vyeDszert
Thought. Ia


Daniel Webster, in a speech delivered
in Washington, just thirteen years ago,
gave it as his opinion, that IF the internal
fanatics and abolitionists ever get the power
into their hands, they will override the
Constitution, set the Supreme Court at
defiance Change aud make laws to suit
themselves, lay violent hands on those who
aiffer from them in their opinions or dare
q question their infallibility, and finally
bankrupt the country, and deluge it With
blood. = as3s-r,ss1
Was Daniel Webster a prophet He
knew these men and all their secret de-
signs, and as a patriot he exposed them,
but they threw dust in the eyes ofgthe
people by abusing Mr. Webster personal
ly, instead OF answering to the charges he
made against Them The Same men roly
yet on personal abuse to carry out their
purposes Crisis. $50
