our position, while we have the force ant
the vigor, let us fight like men, because i
has got to come to the question of exter
mination. The day Of such peace ha
passed by, and passed by forever Thes
great wrongs which have been pcrpetra

we can hardly realize, we can hardly con
template. They have been the direct ant
immediate cause of the sacrifice Of thre,
hundred thousand Of the loyal youth o
the country. Their bcnes, if they coulc
all be collected together in one granC
mass, would form mausolcum greater
than the pyramids of Egypt. There is moi
an inch OF soil between the Chesapeake
and Rocky Mountains which has not been
saturated with the blood of our brethren
and children. They have demorilised our
people. almost destroyed orr national
character, and now say, in the language
of Solomon, "briny the sword, and the
child shall be divided" and some here
say, $50 bs it." There is one here that
never will say it---neyer, while God per-
mits him to breathe, will he say it.

me read you an extract or so to show what
these people are saying and doing. On

between the South and West and Middle
States. l have heard that suggested, but
it is too monstrous to believe.
l have too good an opinion of the yir
tue and intelligence and patriotism of the
people Of the Northwest, to entertain for
a moment, the idea that .hsy would iosu

their countrJ's ruin, for any compromise
or arrangement by which the Union is TO
be dismembered. ] discard it as vile
imputation.
After complimentary allusion to Mis-
sissippi and her soldiers, Davis spoke of
his love for the old Union. Now mark
what this renegade aud rebel saya of you
Representative, as reported in the Jack
son Mississippiau:
"He alluded to it, however, as matter
of regret that the best affections of his
heart should have been bestowed upon an
object SO unworthy-that he should have
loved SO long Il Government which was
rotton to its very core. He had predic-
ted, from the beginning, a fierce war,
.hoguh it had assumed more gigantic pro-
portions than he had calculated upon
He had predicted war, not because our
right to seeede was not an undoubted one,
and clearly defined in the spirit of that
declaration which rests the right to gov

out the wickedness of the North would
entail war upon the country. The pres
INT war; Waged against the rights of a free

Here you have the head of this bogus
laying out the line of policy.
With those men from the bogs and fens
t Ireland and Scotland, he never would

yer the great Northwest, and entertains
he hope that there he shall first see the ,
