When your delegates, met at Chicago for
the purpose of placing presidential ticket
In nomination, an order was issued by an
nther general, land it has not been dis
avowed,) that the people of Ohio, Illinois;
coin in the presidential char; that gave him
overwhelming msjorities--should not be
permitted to- purchase powder, shot, am
munition, OF arms olsap subscription. And
thus you are told by snOtt err order that as
| said, while our armies are. battling south
ward, rel ellious discomfort is travelling
MOI Inward, until it has reached the lakes,
and in three great States of this Union tbs
Administration has lost confidence in the
people-7aye, and the people have lost con-
tidence in it. Great applause. will
o. follow this subject further but / i'm
piore each man within the sound of my
voice to lay the map Of our country be ore
him, then to take the edicts Of generals and
the legislation of Congress and see how far,
by the showing of the Administration and
its friends, discomfort has spread itself since
the commencement of this war. Is it not
then gross wrong to the people OF this
lcountry, and to the armies OF the country,
for them to point you to the battle field,
and tell you there is but one way to restore
the integrity Of this Government, and that
By force, aud force alone. They tell you
this. to divert your attention from tho fact
that they have not only signally failed to
co>operate with the army, and to avail
themselves of victories; but have undope
the work of the soldier, and made it impos-
sible for themselves to restore the Union,
whether We have victories or not. APP
plause.
| will assume that in the next thirty
DAYS th, army of Lee is destroyed; that OF
Hood annihilated, and every 10 m of organ
Iized opposition is driven out of the held,
and then our Republican friends who have
looked forward hopefully to victories that
were to bring us peace aud Union, will see
Tor the first time the full measure Of the
Iim policy ofthe acts of the Administration.
For the first time they will see the danger
Gus position into which our country bas
drifted, amid the smoke and carnage OF
battle. These victories will only establish
military governments at tho South to be
upheld at the expense of northern lives
and treasure. They will bring no real
peace if they. only introduce system oi
wild theories which will waste rs war
wastes; th, ories which will bring US to
bankruptcy and ruin. The Administration
can not give US Union or peace after victo
lies. Applause Meu of Pennsylvania 1
remember that Ill former years our country,
under the polly of conservative men, in>
creased from a people of three millions 10
nation OF. thirty millions; that within the
| lifetime of one man il advanced from
feebls colonial existence into he full meas
urs of one Of the mightisst powers upon
| the face of the earth | saw the husband
man chcerfully laboring, sure Of the fruits
of his toll The -lignt taxation that fell
upon him was nothing; he could count his
gain almost clear as be poudered bow he
would give some now comfort to bis family,
some new advantage OF education or OF SO"
cial condition to his children.

The machinery, instinct with life, that
seemed to perform the duties almostoi AMI
mated men. | saw your streams leap forth
in the morning from your hills, and glide
away at evening into their rest, after turn
ing the mechanism that gave wealth to
your State. To day, the weary laoorer
turns up the sod with the consciousness
that the larger part Of his product must &c
