Judge proceeded in this line of thought
for some time, in highly interesting and
lucid manner.
From this view of our material prosper

of the south. No, but these verv men
who are crying about failure IL order TO
get up an armistice are the very men who
have caused whatever Of failure there hiss
been. The speaker eloquentIy reviewed
the glorious Union gains, declaring that
now the rebellion could not stand SIX
months If the North were united.
If this war Is faflnre It has vet pro-
duced some most glorious "reminiscences.
The speaker referred eloquently 70 the
battle of Msrengo in which Napoleon wss
once thoroughly whipped by the Aus
trians, but was saved by the srsivsl of De-
saix with ten thousand fresh troops. and a
glorious victory was won. This achieve

by that Of Sheridan on the 18th of Ueto-
Der, when arriving from Washington be
found thst his army had been snrprissd

oners, and was flying in disgrseefuI rout

victory. If Desaix and BOnaparte deserve

world, but Farragues victories at New
Orleans and Mobile make Trafalgar pale
before them. The speaker referred TO the
recent gallant exploit of Lieutenant Cush-
ing in blowing up the Albemarle, calling
on our citizens to stand by these heroes.
The Judge proceeded to show that the
result Of electing Mcclellan would be an.
srmistice which would result in q CONVEX

The speaker proceeded to show how
light our burdens in the war were and
how heavy those Of the South, showing
that patriotism demands that we make
sacrifices, and demonstrating the terrible
results which would follow the success OF
the rebellion, resulting IN our becoming q
second-rate power, breaking into fragments
and reunited only by come despotic ruler.

Judge Spalding's eloquent and power

inadequate idea, was most enthusiastically
'eceived.
