their slaves by simply laying down their arIls aud
yielding obedience tothe Constitution And yet
for party ends, lAr Sharp can be induced to pre-
vent these great facts and charge upon Dir Lin
coin that he prbiecutes the war solely for the lbs
Grafton of the sllses of the South.
The next speaker was Geu. G.. w Bowman
formally editor Of the Bedford Gazette. We did
not hear the whole of his speech, but we have
learned that some Of his remarks we're, BY no
means, satisfactory to the other anti-war men.
His endorsement Of the administration Of Mr..
Lincoln, up TO the date Of the emancipation proc
lamation, robs them cf some oftheir greatest com
pliments--the arbitrary arrests, and the suspen-
sion of the writ of Habeas Corpus. The General
was public printer under the administration Of
DIR, Buchanan and is perfectly familiar With all
the facts connected with the outbreak Of the re-
bellion, and knows who are TO blame for I'll our
troubles. Hence his spproyals at the outbreak
of the war to put down the rebellion even up to
the time of the proclamation, was bitter pil for
large portion of his audianee
We did hear, however a part Of his remarks
against the preachers, and we must say they did
nongst people Of small minds, to denounce patri-
otic clergymen for speaking Of the rebellion in
their sermons and prayers, but the right minded
and rejecting part of the people do not dis
grace themselves by such abuse. Love ofcouniry
| is a solemn, religious duty and no man is a good
| Christian who is not good patriot-It is there
fore, the duty Of the Christian Minister to raise
his voice in the pulpit, as well as elsewhere, in
behalf of his country, and to press upon his hear
crs their obligations to stand by their country
whenever its institutions are threatened either BY
a foreign and domestic enemy-In doing so they
but follow the example of patriotic ministers o.
the gospel during the war of the Revolution
Mr.. Sharp and Gen, Bowman didnot undertake
to defend the monstrous, herseies of the Chicago
/ platform--that was left for the smaller speaker,
who closed up the crations of the day ct we car
not but think that these last speakers are entitled
to greater respectfully were wiling to stand By
their doctrines, odious as they are, and to stanC

Let me add what / doubt not Nas although
unexpressed, the sentiment OF the Convention, as

could not look in the face my gallant COM
rades OF the army and navy, who have survived
80 many bloody battles, and tell them that their
lsbors and the sacrifice of so many Of our slain
and wounded brethren had been in vain that we
had abandoned chat Union for which We have SO
often periled our lives.
A vast majority of our people whether in the
army and navy or at home, would, as would, hail
with unbounded Joy the permanent restoration of
peace, on the basis of the Union under Censtitu-
ton, without the efusion 81 another drop Of blood
But no peace can be permanent without Union.
As 20 the other subjects presented in the reso-
lutions of the Convention need only say that |
should seek, IN the Constitution Of the United
States and the laws framed in accordance there
with, the rule of my duty, and the limitations of
executive power endeavor 10 restore economy in
public expenditure re-eStablish the supremacy of

tionalIty, resume our commanding position among
the nations OF the earth.
The condition of our finances the depreciation
of the paper money, and the burdens thereby I'M
posed on labor and capital, show the necessity Of
return TO sound financial system while the
rights of citizens and the right of States, and the

and people, are subjects Of not less vital impor-
tanee in war than in peace.
