Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-05-21

what ought to be done, and I an ID favor
Of giving him an earnest support. A
traitor has no right under the Constitution;
he has but one right, and that is a funeral
right
A traitor won't reason. The best thing
t. do with them is 10 send them beyond
our lines into Dixie, when they will soon
get their eyes open, and wish for q North
ern home once more.
Judge Bond concluded by saying the
question was one Of endurance, and he
wanted to see the North as much in ear
nest as the South; he wanted to see them
stand by the resolution Of the Ohio Legis-
lature in this esOiUed That we can
fight as long as the rebels"
After long ard repeated calls General
Carey, Of Cincinnati again addressed the
meeting:
he said he did not agree with his friend
Judge Bond as to the rights Of a rebel
The Judge says they have only one right
As I said this morning l would give them
tWo-aC Constitutions right 10 be hung, and
q divine right to be damned. On all sides
we heas men talking about saving party.
The time has come when we must forget
party; there is but one platform in times
like these and that is loyalty to the Gov
eminent. Unite as one man, crush the
rebellion, and then talk Of policy.
Where would you draw the dividing
line between the two Governments? the
Ohio River2 Kentucky viii not consent,
and We are not ready 10 give up if she
would. Who among you would be re-
quired 10 get a passport to visit the tomb
Of Washington or Clay Rather than this
should be done let the name Of Americans
be plotted out forever. This wal is 8 ne
cessity, it was bound to come sooner or
later-and It viii be our last war. When
we have subdued the rebellion, we will
take our place as the first nation upon
earth, and the oppressed millions of Eu-
rope viii rise up and demand their rights.
The first shot fred at Sumter was the most
glorious shot ever fred from a cannon-it
pressed and enslaved people to shake off
their shackles and become free.
BE did not approve Of some Of the acts
Of the present Administration, but what
of that ? we must all unite as man and
crush the rebellion, or the present is the
last President We will ever have. He did
not know as any one could have done bet
ter thar Mr.. Lincoln, and we must stand
by him as long as a man is able to carry
a musket. Unless we do we are traitors TO
Government and traitors to our children.
The rebellion is winding up, but it will
not end until we enlist the slave in our
army to fight for his freedom. The war
was at first conducted so as to make slav-
ery an element Of strength TO the rebels,
but now we will use them TO protect and
save our own boys who have gone forth TO
battle for their country. When this is
done we will succeed.
He considered Fremont one Of the great
est military men Of the age-a second BO-
naparte. Fremont, Butler and Wallace
ought to be in the field. he looked upon
West Point as q curse, and when the war
is over would 90 in for blowing it into
atoms. None but West Pointers could get
a command. Jackson tried to kill West
Point and he wished be had succeeded.
He said there was q stronger pro slavery
feeling in 1860 than there was at the time
Of the formation of the Government. The
South always got all she asked for. We
Y her Texas, out of which she could
rave made six slave States. They were
not satisfied with this, but wanted to call
the roll Of their slaves here in Cleveland
and on Bunker Hill. If God crushed the
institution of slavery TO powder, then be
could say, blessed be God.
This is not a war for the emancipation
Of the slave, it is not to determine whether
100000 shall become free, but whether
100000 Of free people shall become
slaves. If there is a rebel s~ympathizel
within the sound Of my voice may Goo
nave mercy on him, I can't Let al mel
stand by the old ship in this her hOur o.
trial, and we will reach at last a better
home than we ever enjoyed before.
He thought John Brown did wrong, bu.
he considered him crazy, therefore h
ought not to have been hung. During tn,
present war he had often thought of wha.
John Brown said when on the way TO hil
galloWs to be hung, al had no idea,' SAID
he, what a beautiful country this was
but in less than five years this land viii
become desolate, and drenched with blood
and slavery will be wiped out" Now thil
same place is the most desolate spot upoI
earth. Prosecute the war until every reb
Ell is ex~terminated. l care not by whom j
is done, by mules, negroes, anything I
commit devastation in their land. Eve
since 1 can remember we have been tryin.
to see who could bow tia lowest to tn
slave power; and even now, people as
what will become Of slavery when the wa
is over. My answer is, there can't b
much Of it left.
