fore mo, to which I most respectfully ask
your candid attention. First. ia the judg.
Inent Of your speaker, the armies now on
the march through the Southern States
II not withdrawn at once, will all become
the most violent opposers to the institu-
tions Of the South, and what greater ca
lamity could bcfal us than 10 hoyo such n
host Of rabid, rampant abolitiunists let
loose among us. You could no more con-
troll their votes than you can hold the
wind in your fists, or gather up the light
of the sun AZ noon-day into a market
basket. From having seen tho workings
of the institution with their own eyes, we
could no longer stop their mouths with
the old argument, that the stories told Of
slavery are big budget Of lies, gotten
up by Northern fanatics, who know no
moro Of ii, than a mole does OF meeting
house, anl hencj say tho armies must
b. Withdrawn, aud that right speedily
again,
Th Y must be turned btck towards the
North ogain, aud that witholt delay, or
the mass of the Southern people who IRE
at home, on lh3ir plantations, will become
~ well acquainted with the truJ charac-
ter of the Northern men, that they can
not be made to express that intense hi-
tired for them, that is 81 desirable to the
politician, Tor tho quiet working Of his
schemes, aud the attainment of his ends.
For, with this acquaintance accomplish.
cd, II would be discovered ON both sides
that l,ss difference exists between the
two sections than has hitherto bccn sup
posed, and then you could never hope to
force partisan measure upon either sec
ton through fear of the other, nny more
than you could lay the dust in the
street, when It is whirIel in beautiful cir
c'cs, by tho brccz 5 of heaven, by telling
II the shower is coming"
But cannot give you all he said on
this division Of his subject. H. went on
with much feryor nud great eloqucncc, aud
gave great many reasons why we
should alopt the suggestion of VIllhnd-
ighum and withdraw the armies from the
South.
Upon the second division, hn said;
"lnasmuch az this war 10 talked of
among all nations, we msy look to all
nations to SEQ part orits innu,ncc aud
results. Aud, ir, to 60 on with an iron
hand, and roush.shod heel, until the
South people are literally crushed out,
cNterminOtcd and oblitcratcd, would give
foreign nations M idea OF power, and will
to prosecute our purposes to the end,
even tho bitter end, ~ to withdraw oui
armies from Dixie, and quietly yield to
the demands of tho rcbcls, in all poiuts,
would give them good reason to suppose
~ unsteady in purpose, and that wo are
now fighting for party measure, instead
ofa great principle.
And, moreover, oil the nations Of the
Garth, big and little, near or remote, might
then suppose that ~ drive us into any lit
tie arrangement they wished to, Il would
only be necessary to get their backs up,
and talk fight for n while TO us, and we
would bnck down as beautifully as boar
hacks down from a tree.
need not dwell upon such mOttors ms
the cxultation OF uristooratic Southron,
over us; for We can form soma idea OF
what he would do, by tho way hs now
brags over his defeats, anl oh,nges the
worst c1lamitics into grlat blessings, Eve
all know he does this to keep his spirits
up) but we can SEQ by il his disposition
to cS'gscra,c.
