night In the o.. mn. last
- LOO OF his speech he gave
yue following good counsel to gnlmblers and
Coppaheads:
81 hear men in tna North ienouncing the
seccesssiouists with apparent bitterness, aud
they say, exterminate them but save the ne
gro. They might as well say Of a man b item
by mad dog, killthe man but for God sake
save the dog! daughter We in Arllan
sas are going to kill the dog and save the
men. kentuckians say there are two parties,
destructiyes and conservatives. lie beiIe. "a
tine destructlyes were the seacesslohJsts ,tha
their unwilling aidersi bug j.@s- ltt.sf can
Cd themselves conservatives 5.fa-.'---. We III
Arkansas are gong to vote iOF whoever you
nominate as an unconditional onion candidate
for President. Cheers.
say to those conservatives taat the only
way YOU can stay this desolatIou and bloodshed
ia to say to the South, yield to the government,
then we will withdraw our armies But, no
the conservatives have not the time nor the
men, they say. They see their true and gal
liant neighbors shedding their blood in defence
of our rights, while you stay at home to watch
the constitution. If you can't fight if you
can't join either side, for Heavens sake keep
quiet and say nothing; for when the soldiers
come home, they can see for themselves wheth-
er the constitution is desecrated or not, and
punish the decorators. Cheers.
By your present conduct in murmuring and
muttering, you preach peace propositions and
encourage the iusurrectionists. am stran-
ger. l expect nothing from you. / want
nothing from the government: But tell
you truly that the rebellion Is looking anx-
iousIy upon the course of the o-calIed conser-
vatives and would like to spur them on, for
they expect it will bring delay and finally
victoey to them. / want my suffering PEG
pie relieved but I want the old government
to embrace the whole territory as Of old.
[Chcers.
Ny friends in the South have denounced
me because am telling the truth about them F.;
but I tell you | never met more consummate
secccssionists than these conservatives Of the
North. Would the South abuse Inc If was
not telling the truth about them / have been
among the rebels and | know that your con
versation is aiding the South. For once
appeal to you. Leave party and 90 for your
country nominate an unconditional Unior
man and elect HIM That is what the Unior
IlCIl DL bLG kJDQbi wilt Int lCDCiS ttiV W
ing for the Inauguration Of a new President
and they want you conservatives to succeed
Then will be their time for success. The
hardest blow ever struck the rebellion was
the Emancipation Proclamation enforced by
the Union bayonets.
AS to compromise he said, would it not b'
wise for the South erners, after going out, t.
come to the President and say 1--WE are will
ing to join you again" The question wouIc
be: ''Why did you go out ?" Why to pro
tect the negro" what have you come back
for?' Why 10 protect the negro" Laughter
But that is all stuff. jeff Davis and the lead
ers won't do that. The people are willing t.
return The bitterest secession ladies daily
marry handsome Union soldiers. [ was afraid
my wife would leave me when | was deter
mined to support the Union but she said i
was the MODEST act had ever done ?"
