'a@'A THE SOUTH WANTED BACK. 10 .1oo'
These, then, are our principles, We are
again, what we always were, in fact, the
Union party of the United States: We do
want the Southern States back. Why. Mr..
Cox and those who are aiding him need not

kind. They,need not waste their breath in
charging upon us that we are for establish
ing the family circle Just as 1t was before 1t
was broken up2-that, though some of our
brothers and sisters have wanderedand got
out Of the family, now that they are repent ]
ant, we desire again to see them around the
old hearthstone, just as IN the good old
times before they went Off. We do wantthe
South back. Why don't they waDt it2rr,
First of all, because with the INSTINCTS of
that Puritanism which is the first principle
of this party, there is hatred to the South;
but that is hot the only cause. One of the
orators of the party in this State. openly

to the Union, they will vote the electoral
vote Of eleven States with the Democratic
party In 1S6Si Pardon me. but that's what's
the matter. Laughter That orator tells
the people to whom he speaks, that they
must not permit the Southern States To be
restored to the Union, because theiDemo-
cratic party will get again into power III
they do. Be not alarmed, Mr.. Schenck. The
Democratic party will come into powerany
way. Applause. They will restore tile
South when they come, whether you per-
nit it or not. 4 Applause,l We are Tor the
Union, and were for it when, hypOcriticai-

your banner. "By their fruits shall ye
know them" Our fruits are immediate

But not only is the party to which we are
opposed adisloyal party, and a. disunion
party. / trust l may say without ottense,
it is the dishonest party of the land. Whence
all these fol Igeries, pecuations and steal-
ings? Whence come your Stones, your Dor
seys, your Ketchums, and other thieves and
peculators? Loyal men! [Laughter.l
Whence come your spectators? :. "Specu-

of returned soldier, charging him two

bark at Copperheads, and denounce the
gentleman who to-day addresses you. In
the rear he stayed, fighting Copperheads.
| You who have been in the army know the
fate that often befalls him who. stays in the
rear. Doctor Dorsey stayed in the rear, and
went a-buniming in the Treasury, and he
got captured. [Great laughter.l There
were, no army officers stripped OF their uni
form and sent into the Treasury to watch
Dorsey. There was no part OF one hundred
and seventy-five regulars sent up to his
house to break down his doors, enter his
bed d-chamber, and drag him out OF bed.

cellar near by towatch HIM, and to over

jurer, for violating the Independent Treas

money? BY speculating off the money sent
