1est of reasonsl emit letters of credit, (this
they have done by flooding the South Will,
their money, not worth a cent on the dollar.
These things the rebels have done. They
have not entered intoan alliance with foreign
powers, because no foreign power would rec.
ognize them. (Laughter.l The Constitution
Of the United States further States, that the
Constitution and the Acts of Congress shall
be the supreme law Of the land. Now, cat.
cralized citizens, swear to uph Id this su.
preme law of the land, and will just make
this simple proposition. If any Of you took
this oath with a mental reservation, YOU have
acted like dishonest men. (Cheers.) Ifyou
took 1T for the purpose and with the design
O breaking it, you are vile perjurers indeed.
~ you took it with the intention of keeping it
!e1eqlpily how can you excuse yourself for
JOINING party that has set his supreme law

and destroyt the Union you have sworn to

supports that party is perjured scoundreI /;
na't Because he votes for Mcclellan, but be-
eauee that man is at the head of party
pledeed TO recognize the independence Of the
rebels. am hot under much fear for the re-
eults of this campaign, even if every Irishman
IN tue country should join the Copperhead
party in this State. 1t is not here the matter
is to be settled. The final result of this cam
paign rests with U. S. Grant before Rich.
mond. (Cheers.) 1t is not words but blows
that must decide this contest. and it is nv
firm belief that before the 9th dav Of Novem-
ber next, Grant will have secured the election
of Messrs. Lincoln and johnson. by captur-
ing the rebel capital. Loud cheers) But
whether he does, or does not, it is cowardly
and treacherous to advocate a surrender to
the rebels. In the the words of private Miles
O'Reilly, we must fight it out. (Cheers.)
We have heard the rebel yell,
We have heard the Union shout,
We have weighed the matter very well,
And mean to fight it out;
In victory's happy glow,
We have pledged yourselves" Come veal or woe
By Heaven! we fight it out p
IT'S now too late to question
What brought the war about;
lis thing of pride and passion,
And we mean to fight it out.
Let the big wigs" use the pen,
Let them caucus. let them spout.
We are half million weaponed men,
And mean to fight it out.
Our loved, our dead, arc crying -
From many a stermed redoubt,
In the swamps and trenches lying
oh, comrades, fight it out
Twas our comfort we fell
To hear your gathering shout,
Rolling back the rebels weaker yell
God speed you, fight it out!"
The negro-free or slave
We care pin about,
But for the flag fathers gave
We mean to fight it out;
And while that banner brave
One rebel rag shall fout.
With voleying arm and flashing glaive,
By Heaven we fight it out
Oh, we've heard the rebel yell,
We have heard the Union shout,
We have weighed the matter very well,
And mean to fight it out;
In the flush of perfect triumph,
And the gloom Of utter route,
We have sworn on many bloody field
1--WE mean to fight it out!'
