SUCCESS! H.. II
g. tho army was equally as unfounded as the pre-
Client ~ belief that they wanted everybody at home
mt INTO the military service.
Mr. G, next paid glowing tribute to the army
# Northern Virginia. The plains Of Troy, the hills
" Greece the banks of the Tiber had witnessed no
" .,ors heroic sacrifices than they had made. Sub
,;ss,ye to discipline-patient in hardships and in
vncble in action, they had earned impershable re-
,own. There was no want OF so!diers-but We
needed statesmen in this struggle. All but few,
;,r;tb clamorous representatives at home, believed
.hat this war could be carried on as efficiently while
III it's aspects were freely and frankly discussed =
The army was unwilling to undo its work to I'D.
.ance the interests of short-sighted politicians at
home who misrepresent its opinions. Its duty was
nla;n one and had been most faithfully discharged
Tbere was perfect accord between army and people,
nd our soldiers were determined that this revolu-
t;on should have its legitimate termination. The
,ssne had been put to the arbtraneDt of the sword
and bv this they would abide. This fourth blow at
the rights Of the people would create more commo-
finn At home than its predecessors. The temper of
the people was such that they would not submit
tsmey to the destruction Of every vestige of const
tntiona right They intend to discuss the issues Of
neoce and war-to canvass the conduct of the Pres.
Ideut and the strategy Of his Generals, and any at
tempts at suppression would still further ALLEVIATE
their affections Mr.. c. in conclusion expressed the
belief that the proposed suspension of the writ was
blow aimed at North-Carolina- conviction, he
said, which could only be removed by refusal to
suspend. Hard measures had been dealt this State
Sbe had done her whole duty and it was an insult to
intimate that such enactments were necessary to
keep her true to her allegiance.
He hoped that the resolutions would receive q
unanimous vote The legal propositions they con.
tanned were sanctioned by the courts and they were
respectful to the President and the Congress, while
warning them, as it was our duty to warn them, OF
impending danger. =
