TO powcrl Ii seems to me that such az
election would tend equally to demoraliE
the Union, and to invite the insurgents
to renew their efforts OF destruction.
i |, remains for me now ouly to give YOU
the proof, that although the way in which
the Chicago Democracy did what had
b ieu agreed upon in their behalf in
Niagara, was not altogether satisfactory
yet what they actually did, was accepted
az full execution of the previous CON.
pact. Mr.. Seward here read the follow.

There is maxim, which thoughtful
teachers always carefully iuculcatc. It'
is that Inconsistency is imbccllty, and
that perseverance, is necessary to insure
success. This maxim was forth in
form OF copy, in III writing book, when
| was young. perseverance always
couquers." Even infuniile beginners
encountered the instruction in the form
OF a tale in Webstcr's spelling book. |
The story was that after using soft words /
aud IN Is OF grass the lurmer tried what
virtue there was in stones, aud hv per-
sislrucr in that. Applicant n, he brought
the rude boy who was stealing apples, |
down from ths tree, aud made MIN ask |
the farmers pardon.
Our Chicago teachers tell US that lust
as the rude boy is coming down, we
must iay down the s,OnCs and resort |
again to the use OF grass, with the con. |
$ qucncC, of course, that tho farmer
must beg pardon of the trespasser. But
what makes this Chicago policy more |
contemplate aud even ridiculous, is, that
II is nothing different from the policy
with which the same parties now con.
tracting actually ushcred in disuniun in
1861, in thc closing hours Of the Adj
Of Jlmes Buchanan. Yes
ny dear triends, when we of this Al.
come into our places, in
March, 1861, we found there cxistnp
just the system which is now rccommen-
ded at Chicago, namely; ls,, treasona
bic con;ederacy in arms against the
Fed ri authority. Cd, a truce between
the Government Of the United States
aud the rebels veritable armislicc
which was so construed that while the .
rational sforts were thoroughly invest
cd along the sea-cOast and rivers,
by the insurgents, they could b. neither
reinforced. nor supplied, even with food,
by the Government. Sd, languid de-
bate with view to an ultimate Ma
tiOnnl Convention, switch the rebcls
haughtily despised and contemporary
rel cited.
What the alternatives left us. Either
tD surrender ourselves and the Govern.
ment, at discretion, or to summon the
people to arms, terminate the armislcp,
adjourn the domoralizng debatc, and
ourselves Of The NATIONAL
forts and ports. Aud now has all theI
treasure that has been spent, and all
the precious blood that has been ponr.
I'd forth, gone for nothing else than to
secure an ignominous retreat and return
1t the end Of four years to the hopeless
mbecility and rapid process Of national
dissolution which existed when Abraham
lincoln took into his hands the rains Of
government.
Every one ofyou know that but for the
accession Of Abraham Lincoln just at
haL time, the Union would, in less than
hree months have fallen into absolute
md irreirieyable ruin.
Twill not dwell longer on the comp luints
which imisguided, but not intcLt on-
lily perversc men, bring against the ad. :
Dinistration of Abraham Lincoln. They a
complain Of military arrests Of spies and :
urking traitors in the loyal States, as If !
