every State the right TO secede. It is abb
solutely false.
At this point the speaker gave running
history Of John C. Calhoun's disunion pro-
jects and measures which we omit, togeth-
er with the account of Jaekson's vigorous
campaign against Nullihcation.
fJackson could properly call upon all
the people to sustain him in that great
work, why cannot Lincoln in his? We must
settle this doctrine of secess on now. The
Government is valueless ifit prevails, as it
would bring chaos, and it will be settled if
the Union party prevails in this election.

ATTITUDE OF TIE PARTIES.
The lines of division are distinctly drawn.
The Baltimore Platform is plain and clear,
as is also Mr.. Lincoln sIetter of acceptance;
there is not a face of war and a face of
peace, a streak of fat and streak of lean,
but the purpose of the people is therein
expressed to prosecute this war until every
rebel hf 5 laid down his arms in submission
to the authority of the Constitution.
On the other hand the main feature of
the Chicago Platform was drawn by Vallan-
digham who now comes out frankly and
claims the honor of its authorship, and in
that resolU lUtiOn there is proposed cessa-
ton of hostilitieI and q call for a Conven-
tion of States with a view to ultimate peace
able restoration, and this is proposed be-
cause the war has been failure.
THE WAR FAILURE.
The speaker then made brilliant an
swer to this foul and false charge The
war has been one of the most brilliant in
history. 1t has been one of unparalleled
success. Two thirds of the rebel terri
tory mas been regained and brought under
D of Ia tgoyarppnap srho AZ.
srppi has been re-opened, and every avail
able Southern mao has been conscripted
into the rebel army, thus bringing them to
the limit Of their resOg rces, the seaboard
tOrts, very many Of them have been reta-
ken, &c, &c
He admitted that the war at first had
been q failure under Mcclellan. Officers
and soldiers, one and all, declare that the
war has not been a failure, and cast back
the taunt with fierce and bitter scorn.
He detailed the result of granting a ces-
sation Of hostilities, in a manner which
thrilled every heart, and asked if we are
prepared to propose and accept it after all
the toW OF blood and waste of treasure He
was IL favor ofa peace which is conquered.
and rejoiced that he had son WHO was able
and willing TO fight the enemy mt the front
while his father fought the meaner enemy
at the rear. Immense applause We
must have unconditional surrender Peace
may be too dear. We have paid an i'm
mortal price for it now let us not, at the
last moment, render the purchase of no
effect by our folly.
Mcclellan waited nine days after the plat
form was sent out, before he wrote the letter
Of sceeptanee--just the time pnp requires
10 get his eyes open daughter and
oheers.1 Meanwhile, Sherman's telegram,
Atlanta is ours and fairly won," blazed
through the country, and the light
flashed up strangely from the Southern sky,
into McCIelian'5 eyes, who was not Just
then asleep on gunbOat, and threw him
into fever, in whose delirium he cried,
" What shall I dO?" He should have
adopted Clay's motto, " would rather be
right than President :" he should have
trampled that Platform under foot but he
proposed that we "exhaust the resources of
craftsmanship" while it is plain that we
must exhaust the resources of geacraLship.
ICheers and laughter.
He alluded TO Mr.. Peudleton's miserable
pettifogging recently in New York, in the
attempt TO set aside his damning record,
which showed that on January 7th he
had voted so and 50. By a competitors
error il stoc d in the record "July " 9Th in
stead of the contracted word " Jan'y" 7tb, =,
y
eel the force of the record by publishing
that Congress adjourned on Jug 4H, and !,
therefore, he could net have given the vote
charged.
He closed by reiterating the sentiment,
We must fight this war through, wipe out
slavery, and crush the Chicago Platform.
We can do it all. Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan and Farragut will attend to the first !;
it needs but two thirds of Congress to
amend the Constitution and wipe slav ry
from all the territory of the United States,
and this election will give us the Congress
aud the President who will insure the grand
three-fold result. We have always been
compromising with slavery-agitating and
then compromising and conceding. Doug
las would have settled the endless trouble
by thrusJing slavery out of Congress upon
the people Of the Territories. We Lad bet
ter settle it forever by putting it in it's
grave. [ApPlause.l
The speaker made powerful closing ap-
peal 10 lis former brother Democrats to come
out from Democratic" party which, for
the frst time in its history, opposes the
country's wars, and TO come out from the
camp of the PhillisJines who have betrayed
them. -r
Mr.. Tremain took his seat in a tempest of
applause. We are sorry not to be able to give
q fuller report of his excellent speech.
Add yet no report could do justice to the
orator. His oratory is magnetic, and no
idea ofthe powerful effect of his addresses
can be conveyed to one who has not heard
him.
The Hon. Samuel Galloway was loudly
called for, and On being introduced was
greeted with loud cheers, and spoke for
half an hour in his own peculiar and pow
erful way. It IS useless to attempt to re-
port Sam. Galloway. His novel, oHtre and
impressi c manner, the brilliancy and in
t5nsity Of his eye, the wonderful power and
energy of his voice, and all those striking
idiosyncrasies of gesture and manner
which leEd such power to every word he
says, it is impossible to get on paper. His
donuneiations, his stories, his thrilling and
glowing eloquence; would lose its force and
life and vigor without the aid of voice and
tone and look. We shall therefore at
tempt only the briefest abstract of the
general current of his remarks.
SPEECH OF NR. GALLOWAY.
Mr.. Galloway commenced BY remarking
that the fact that Mr.. Tremain,
formerly a Democrat, and he himself
once a Wing, stood on the same
platform to night showed how the
question of Union had fused all parties into
ono. And Mr. Tremain had net deserted
the Democratic party. He would still be
recognized by all the great leaders of the
old Democratic party as a Democrat. Could
I call up Andrew Jackson from his grave,
the cid hero would know him-perhaps he
might know me too. [Laughter.l But ifI
should introduce TO him some of these But
ternuts, he wouldn't know thom. He
would even refuse 10 be introduced TO such q
man as Yallandigham. lRenewed laugh
ter Certainly he wouldn't know brother
Backus. Immense and long continued
shouts of laughter and applause There
