Chsers-l That is the plain truth, and
came here TO speak the same truth. 1t j.
fashion that I have, and cannot lay
is aside in New Jersey. Take away thai
ssrribls pressure Of war let the press oi
tha South speak out; let parties moi
founded on the prosecution Of the war be
revived, and you viii see the same desire
4 rssarning for the Union as you have seen
In tha SeEth. If there 10 anything that
thai elsss of men wish to see, ii Is the
prevalence Of that sentiment in the North.
And, If there is one thing which brings to
tham fear and trembling, is is this move
nsnt in favor afrpsace in the North.
| Shall We adopt tha theory of eontinu-
ing the prosecution of the war, no mat
ter how; vigorously or not vigorously,
| shall we continue it? tLoud cries, ''No,
no, no,1 from all parts of the hall. IL
That ls nay spaaion, gentlemen. I thank
yea for Jour verdict. Great and pro-
longed cheering.l Or shall We immedi-
ately cease hostilitfes, and proceed then
TO determine the question whether ma.
jority Of the penpIs of the North and
West viii unite with . majority of
the South and restore the Union as it
was? l"Yes, yes."1 Shall we adopt
the theory Of those whom have spoken9
[ssAo. no,nl How much an apprehen-
sion for their personal safety and the
comfort Of their neeks has - do with
their conviction, | do not know; but
these men who have now become so con-
ssrvatiEe, who have brushed themselves
over with an outside coat of eonserva-
tIsm, tell you that these radical measures
Of Greedy and Sumner must stop. Iwiii
tell them, as the profound convictions of
my judgmsns, that, whatever may have
been possible in the beginning, the day
has gone by when war for the restosa-
tion Of the Union can, by any possibility,
be successful. [Applause.1 Unite With
ne at least upon that platform. What
is yoar chance to accomplish the profess
ed purposes of these men, and return to
the project of q war for the Union and
the abandonment of the prosecution OF
the var for the negro? Does any man
see it2 tLaughteF.l Not in Washing
ton, not in the White House, not in the
State governments controlled By the re-
pubiioans. There is not one glimmer of
tight-not one. Day after day the war
is proclaimed to be for the purpose Of iu-
vading the South, to destroy slavery, to
set loose four millions of negroes, with
a full knowledge that the inevitable re-
suit is seryile insurrection, and q repeti-
tisn of the horrors of San Domingo up
on q scale prOportfoned only as to the
other by the immense magnitude Of the
territory which the South possesses. If
Mr.. Vim. II. Seward is in earnest he eli
ther cannot control the standardization
or he can. If he cannot, Les him be hon
est enough to resign. ECheers.l If he
eau, let him give to Us aud the whole
world evidences of his sincerity by chang
ing the policy of the administration.-

Shall the democratic party be induced
for one moment 10 strike hands with
those who desire to change the purposcs
Of the administration, and bring ii, back
again to war for the Union, when the
whole people united cannot accomplish
anything before the 4th Of March, 1865
Will the war continue during that time

vain, futile, absurd, and most nnfeund-

after four years of such war as God
Almighty never permitted to seourge any
