have plenty Of room IN the South for
heap OF YOU We do not insist on
your leaving your homes, but we
would like to see you among US. We
want your energy and enterprise,
we want a demonstration OF the adj
yantages of mechanical powerin ma
chinery IN our shops on our planta-
| tons. Our land, the richest in the
world, has been worked too long by
its few owners and their large gang
of niggers. j think it is time white
men had an equal chance to partici-
pate in the cultivation OF this rich
land. So my principles run both
ways; while Ito give the black
man an equal chance, also want to
give the white man chance; and
then If lie can't compete successfully,
all there is Of it lie must get out OK
the way. Hence let us remove these
letters; let us strike this disturbing
element ont of the Government, and
let enterprise and energy and merit
constitute the elevation Of man.
NEGRO EQUALITY.
Ikncw it is said by the copperhcads,
and others perhaps, yen want negro
equality; but you cart expect the
negro TO be fit to enjoy freedom after
having been kept ii slavery for q
/ hundred years. Slavery disqualifies
him for freedom, they say; and then
they insist on keeping him in slave
Try, to disqualify him few years lon
ger by way Of qualifying him for be-
ING a freeman. daughter and cheers]
Ii is all wrong, and now il the time
for cutting up the whole thing, root
and br 1ch, and letting the black peo-
pie take their chances with all other
human beings. [Cheers.
INCREASE OF LABoRERs NORTH AND
SOUTH
There are some people in the South,
many indeed, who can't understand
how it is that State which receives
its increase of population without
costing anything, and generally
! bringing with it more or less capital,
thrivcs AID prospers so much more
than they do. When they go out to
bring in a man for the purpose Of in
creasing their production, they must
take thousand dollars with them to
buy him with. But the man going
into Ohio or Indiana, carries thous-
and dollars with him, IN addition to
the labor and he is his own MAN..
lTCheers. We Of the South have to
wait fifteen or twenty years to gso5s,,rr
our man, or somebody must travel 10
Virginia and buy one as an outlay 2f
q thousand dollars. Can you be sH'
iprised az fhe bsrdy progress Of tAe
one aud the rapid progress Of the 9th
err "a voice, aHurrah for the tail
orr Well, let us go to work, and
keep at work in good earnest, and
we will soon sew up this rebellion so
tight that it will never kick again.
COMPROMISE WITH THE DEVIL?
But we were talking aboat peace.
Don't everybody know that there
can be no peace so long as rebels are
encouraged here, and can hold out
there? You talk about compromise.
| Would you have right compromise
with wrong? Voices, "No, never.
Would YOU have truth to c9mprom-
ise with faIsehood? Virtue to COM
promise with vice? Would you have
Deity in Heaven, whom Beelzebub,
His Satanic Majesty, made war with
Michael when he rebelled against
Heaven? Would you have had Deity
hold d parley and ask an arfa;stice?
TGreat and continued cEeers.l Al We
angels and heavenly hosts, stand
aside! Fall back from the throne Of
power; we will seek an armistlce
with His Satanic Majesty. Oh infa-
my too base to be thought Of

COMPROMISE REJECTED IN 1861.
! Com promised Yourattention on this
po;nt d few moments. Tn 1861, after
| secession was inauguratcd, Mr.. Crit
tendon came forward with his com
promise measures, which, after a
Hong discussion, was about, to come
i to q vote on Clark's amendment, and
what do we fnd2 1T was said, give
us. Crittenden's compromise, and the
nation will be at peace? What was
the result? When the ayes and nays
were called on Clarl's amendment,
Its adoption being the rejection Of
Crittendcn's compromise measures,
the amendment vas adopted and the
measure defeated /? And how? BY
Benjamin, the rebel Secretary Of War
and Iverson, and Robert w. Johnson
and three others, when it was their
sworn duty to vote, sat in their seats
and refused to vote for the d0npro-
mise. and it was lost by three votes.
| As soon as this was known, the tele-
gram wires running out OF the gale
~ was made to flash to the South
the news that the compromise was
lost, and they must now go TO war.
The fate Of this compromise measure
shows their sincerity about compro-
mise Then yorrcmember the kar.-

that the Territories should be denied
