thst these extracts that read from me non
oreble Senator'S speech are general pr0pos'-
lions. He says
''Ihe sou trembles aghast as We contem-
plate helds drenched IN iraiernal gore, "bere
the happiness OF homes has oeen shiVe.ed oy

Let me read anotner sentence from th's hu-
| dress. The Senator says
"a man "a higher tiian 'he seastoI the neiui
as the angels are hlgner tnah man as Gnrls'
Is higher than Mars as ne that ru'etn ms
| spirit IS greater than ne 'hat iahelh q cl'y' 80
nre the victories OF peace higher than the
victories OF war
! That is very handsomely SAID, ana IN the
main it IS very true Ihe Senator then goes
| on to nvelgh against standing armies ne
|
them, and quotes a table OF expenses oil othei
countries; and yet that Senator ls engaged
here in war. When say ne IS engaged
in war will do the Senator the justice tc
say that he only advocates 1t upon BIS hps
he advocates here by speech by word, by letter
He atte mpts 10 lire the hearts OF the people
everywhere TO join IN this crusade. 1he hon
orable Senator does not go where he wonlC
hear the rattle OF small arms or smell gun
powder. Were lor ih's war as ferocIonsil
as that Senator is, think wonld take up
musketjlnd goinlo the heid But am oPpo
sed to the war (though do not inteud 10 dis
cuss that for the reasons have so often sta
ted.
| have not much faith in the siGcerity o
those who avA preach war and never fix h
1t would be better for them 20 fight hti
and then people will think they are in earnes
The Senator is willing that other people
blood shall be shed = lie Is willing that mi
lion Of the young men OF the country shall b
sacrificed He is Wiling that the whole Ian
: : be laid in mourning thGt the weeds OF ih
widow and the tears OF the orphan shall e.
; erywhere be seen. DE is wiling that th
, hard earnings OF the laborng man, thouP
his wife and children may be starving sha
e be wrenched from him by the ruthless han
