he was in favor Of the wnr for the Union, but
last summer, when troops were called for he
made numcIpua war speeches, some being
malicious enough to say; that It was to avoid
the draft, leat one OF his lebodied sons
might be taken. His speech Saturday night
WIS neither worthy OF the man nor the digni-
t. Of his position ss Judge. There were in
It many Of the appeals Of demagogue, and
the manner Of IL delivery quite TOO theatFi-
For his text he took the precious COM
promise article, published In the Albany
Etrntng Journal Of January 12th, and an artf-
Statc. The burden of his speech was "com-
promise'-the ided being advanced TINT the
war came because Of tho refusal of Republl-
cans to compromise in the winter Of 1860 81 !;

Ths revival ofparty spirit and the opposi-
ton to the Administration, ho ascribed to u
from those avowed in the crittsnden resolu-
tions adopted by Congress in 1861. In the
face Of the fact that Democrats had held their
regular conventions, run their regular tickets,
and refused to 60 into "Union movements u
all through the war, the speaker asserted that
the first Democratic conventions, efnce the
war, were called four or fire months since,
after the President abandoned the policy Of
Crittenden-of Wced-whom- he styled the
great leader Of the Republican party. and had
adopted the views Of Greeley & Co.
He utterly ignored the fact that au through
tle North the Tories were doing all they could
to break down the Administration md opposed
The war, Ion. before the Proclamation Of Sep
tember, and that il, this State the Infamous
Ryan address Was adopted by the Democrats,
weeks before emancipation was promised.
The speaker denounced the Proclamation as
tic cause of divided North, and yet claimed
1t did not free rs many Slaves as the confsca-
tion act which lie endorsed. He. denounced

claiming in the face Of history that It was
something which bid never been done In Eu-
rope since the times nf Henry VI II and declared
that 1--WE of 'tM North had been under a
worse dcsrotism Il IN had, existed in Europe
fur 200 years! !"- Il He denounced the declara-
tion of martial law: and the punishment Of
reasonable practfoes. he claimcd that the
State Rights, doctrine ewas not the cause Of
the rebellion, but, did not say whit was, nor
dcnounce its authors. q 1.-THE as much as the
Republicans who. would not submis to their
demands, though he expressed the charitable
wish that the sccessionists might tall perish
and go to he'll togc:Ler:" He thought there

The draft was s. 7castically denounced Us q
needless oppression, though the speaker said
VIC might have another, and must submit to
1t as aw-abiding citizens. He said the Ozankec
rioters had done wrong, but compared their
treatment BY the Government to the hanging
Of 8 murderer by mob.
The admission Of Western Virginia was de-
nounced as great outrage, an6it Was claimed
that BY elections In Louisiana, Tennessee, Car
olina and elsewhere, the Government was en-
deaSorlng TO establish rotten borough sys-
Having devoted lie greater part Of his re-
marks to denouncing the Administration and
the Abolitionists, tIaycstying Lincoln's ap-
peal 10 the border States to adopt his colon1-
zation scheme, and imploring return to the
CF1ttenden Compromise, the speaker turned
ehoTt corner, and as some one well expressed
It, "the Republicans tMI the closing part Of
the argument" : !.
He was In favor Of making propositions Of
peace to the South, but would have them pre-
sented op the point Of baJonets, and death
the alternative Of nonacceptance; he would
carry weapon In one hand and an olive
branch in the other, but the South must be
