Ecbukc to COrpcIhcad Democrats.


We find the following speech made at
Savannah, by Senator John CONFESS, of
California, in a late California paper, and
specially commend the following extract
to those editors who claim the election
of Mr.. ConucSs az A Democratic victory.
The newly elected Senator said
I'VE have a noble President There
IS President at the head Of the Gov.
crnucnt. (App'ausc) Abraham Lin
cole may not be the greatest man in TIE
Uritcd States, lut | tell you, fellow cit
izcns, that our country is blessed of God
in having SO good and 50 great man in
the Presidency in this great crisis -
(thccrs.) The cunning villain who,
pending this great struggle, seeks the
may now and then have imposed upon
that great and good man, but in the main
his measures have been wise, at all times
his conduct has been just. Throughout
this great trial and struggle his patriot
ism has been Of the same character and
stamp as that Of the great and immortal
Washington. Chccrs.) Bat say these
ohjcc:ors, the supporters Of this Admin
istration are Aboltionists. Bcaur'gard
advises his Southern friends to dcnoml
nate the soldiers Of the Government Alb
olitionists, and craven, dir;-catin-, false
sons Of the North, echo and follow the
advice Why, fellow citizens, if an Ab
oltoni,t were the bascst creature that
ever heretofore disgracCd the earth, he
would yet be perfection comp2rcd With
the miserable wrctchcs who set up such
prctcnc,s while their ccuntry'S life is at
stake (Anplau~e.) What is it to be
an Aboli,iouist 1t is that the person,
whoever he may be, is in favor of abol-
ishing something. These men would
not abolish slavery; they would rot blot
out or abolish slavery, though it stood
at the nations throat, taking the nation 5
life. But they would stand by while
their country was being abolished and
being stricken from the map Of the world
Shame upon such atolitionlsts. ('hccrs
Shame upon the Abolitioui,ts who arc i,
favor Of, or WHO stand quietly by while
the attempt is being made to abolish ;
country, to abolish Government 50 be
neficent, SO wise, so grand IN the scop
of its great work Of giving civil liberty t'
the carth.'
These sentiments are peculiarly appli
cable to the condition Of Missouri at the
present time. The conservative politi
clans arc ready to sacrifice the nation
preserve slavery, and arc anxious to pro
long the sufferings of Missouri by perpct
