Referring to Gen. Buffers statement
that Judge of New Orleans debauch

SPEECH OF
Hon. John Brough,
CONCLUDED
THE GOVERNMENT HAS POWER TO PRO.
TECT ITSELF.

lCONCLUD i
THE GOVERNMENT HAS POWER TO PRO.
TECT ITSELF.
There is no doubt of the power Of
the Government to protect itself. II
you saw an incendiary applying the
torch to your house, would you wait un-
til he was caught aud convicted, or would
you take a club and knock him dow d?
What the individual may do, Govern
ment may do. 1t may say to its citi.
zens: "You are preventing the enlist
ment of soldiers in the army; you are
sowing dissension among the people;
you are affording aid and comfort to
the enemy; therefore we propose To put
you in some place where you can talk
to yourself for a time" If this power
is not inherent in the Government, is
is not worth a rope of sand, and the
man who has the power and does not
exercise it, is not worthy to be recog-
nized as ruler. Applause.] Sup.
pose we admit that the Constitution has
been strained little, it is not strained
any further than Old Jackson strained
it down in New Orleans when he arres-
ted Judge Hall. [Cheers How we
gloried over it, and how we cheered,
and what bon6res we burned, when n
tardy Government paid back the uu g.
just fne which the old hero had paid.
| [Chcers. Now, my Democratic friend
do not take that all back; l cannot do
it, upon my word, cannot. G"No, no,
you are right Let us either say this
Government is all right in taking away
these elements of discord from among
us, or let us do the other thing, post
pone it till by and by.
BE HoNEsT-BE LOYAL.
Is this time to be fighting the Gov
ernment, when the Government is fight
ing the leaders Of a rcbellion-in thi
day of trial? Would you tear dow
the temple because some unbeliever
comes among the faithful? Would yor
tear down the enlightened institution o
Christianity because some hypocrit
may do deeds of darkness and crimei
Would you abolish all the institution
of learning in the land because abuses
have crept in?
Are you going to stop the progress o
this war because some Internal Copper
head has been unmasked and put in
dungeon? ["NO, no." and cheers. :,
If you would you are not the people
take you to be. Then if you do not lik
to indOrse this thing-if you do no
like to indorse Mr.. Lincoln's Admins
tration, you ought 10 say swell, let thi
matter alone for the present if there i
anything wrong we will not cal
them back, but put men Of trust an
, honor in their places"
THERE MUST BE UNITY AMONG US.
} We cannot afford to quarrel amoni
ourselves at this time. 1t is neithe
good sense nor good Judgment, to sa
f nothing of good patriotism. Have W
served so long in the party ranks tina
we are bound to oppose the Govern
mcnt, if administered by our politica
opponents, because one of our part
has been sent off to rest in prison 70

Then, is there any doubt in the mind

The American stomach is tormenting or
