that no others should cast suffrages in the
adoption of a constitution that was to
apply to all the people of the Common
wealth. So was it in Arkansas. So was
it in Kentucky. Kentucky has thirty
thousand troops in the Federal armies
who have won inperishable renowH, but
when the people of Kentucky assembled
for the purpose of electing a judge, what
did this loyal President, Abraham Lin
coin, do? Why, he issued directions TO
his Janizaries, and the hirelings ordered
Judge DuvaPs name to be stricken from
the poll books, that he might secure the
election of one of his miserable pimps,
man by the name of Benton. The peo-
pie of kentucky, though they had but
twenty-four hours notice Of this, nomi-
mated and elected Judge Robertson,
gentleman of high standing and official
integrity. If Kentucky could vote to-day
in her ruined homes and her faithful
camps, ninety-nine out of every hundred
votes would be for Geo. B. Mcclellan.
CThrec cheers for Kentucky and George
b. McClellan.)
Abraham Lincoln and Andrew John
son have not Il party in Kentucky and
Tennessee as large as the Pennsylvania
party of the Ienitentiary and they are
not a whit more respectable. (Merriment.)
There is not an honest man in my State,
there is not man with AN honest repu-
tation before the world, who will vote for
Abraham Lincoln. daughter and cheers.
They think the unlawful despotism Of
Jefferson Davis is no more unconstitu-
tionaI and dangerous than the arbitrary
usurpations of Abraham Lincoln -
C'Ihai's so" and applause.( They talk
to you about restoring the Union by force.
The men who tell vou they can carry out
that idea are simply insane. Have you
not heard for tie last three years that the
rebellion was cTushed and Oh lis last legs,
that the last white boy was conscripted
and the last old man shouldering a mus
ket, that famine is brooding over the land,
and ruin was tEe fate Of the people The
Southern people are as united to day as
they ever were before, and they cannot be
conquered. Julius Caesar conquered at
PharsaIia with an hundred thousand men,
the battles of the revolution were fought
with a handful of colonial militia, but
our president, who has emulated NerXes
and his countless armies, has effected no
more profitable result than the Persian
madam
L have said bitter things about this re-
beilion. About its causcless origin, the
criminality of its persecution, but there
are worse things in the world than rebels.
had rather be called rebel than a thief.
For rebellion becomes respectable if sue
cessful, and it depends upon Abraham
Lincoln to determine whether this rcbell-
ion shall be respectable or not, and it de-
pcnds upon us TO say whether this rebellion
shall be respectable or not, and it depends
upon us to say whether Abraham Lincoln
shall be elected or not. (Cries Of "no
no lie never will and cheers Then
swear it, swear it as Hannibal swOre eter-
nal emnity TO Rome, and see to it that
earnest about this war. There are no bat
tle-tields in the South where the bones of
Southern Congressman are not bleaching.
But the Northern Praise-G Bare bones,
(roars of laughter,) hang around Wash
ington with mcwing, puking Sambo, and
urge the people and their phiiacterics to
wage a war they are too cowardly TO at
tempt themselves. (bIore laughter.)
We must nerve for the contest. We
are fighting bold and bad men. The Con-
federates are arrayed against the Union
Before the war no Southern man ever
made war upon our liberties until North
ern aggression converted them from our
friends to our foes, and to day Abraham
Lincoln, stands, according TO his own de-
claratiOn, as much opposed TO the rcstOra-
ton of the Union as Jefferson Davis.
Lincoln says they cannot come back un-
less under an unconstitutional condition,
while JEFF. Davis says he will not come
back unless he can have his own way
Now who is the worst traitor, jeff. Davis
or Abraham Lincoln (Cries of g Lin
coln," and cheers.
If you want to end the war and restore
the Union, elect George B. Mcclellan.
L have said there were meaner things than
a rebellion jeff Davis deceived no man.
Every young man in the army understood
the risk. While our young men went
into the army to restore the Union and not
to destroy it, and they have been de-
ceived For jeff. Davis you may claim
the attribute of courage, but for Lincoln
you can claim neither courage nor hon
esty. Lincoln is called g Honest Abe y
because those who know him know that
he has not an honest impulse in his heart.
