of this State upon lie legs again. The party,
especially Of this city, has contributed more
than its share Of soldiers and sailors for the
war. New York city, chiefly from the demo-
cratic masses, has supplied its own quotas and
helped to fill those of the State and OF other
States. But for all this the odium Of disloyalty
has been unjustly cast upon the whole party by
its disloyal copperhead leaders, copperhead
journals and their traitorous affiliations The
wedding out of these pestilential copperheads
from the councils of the party, therefore, Is now
called for; and we hope and believe that the
honest, patriotic masses of the democracy, in
their own vindication, will prepare for this
work in their preparations for the next demo-

one instant after decapitatop, for the brain being
the seat of sensation to The whole frame, through
the medium Of the spinal marrow every part of the

not retain its consciousness, ard like the head Of

Holy War, get up and declare that It was never cut

SPEECH OF j. p. BENJAMIN.

Secretary Of State Of the Confederate
States, IN Richmoasd, on the Oh .Fs6yu-
a,y, 1865.
The number Of persons composing this
meeting, the cheers with which | hear
you greet every expression OF patriotic
sentiment, show the defiance with which
your breasts are swelling, and the hot fl, sll
which all feel at the bare thought of the
ignominy, which an arrogant government
has proposed to you, that you should bend
the knee, bow the neck and meekly sub
init to the conquerer's yoke; and ali give
assurance that the fire of freedom burns
unquenchably in your souls. How differ
ent from one short week ago! 1t seems
; an age, so magic has been the change
Then, dependency and hope deferred o.
pressed and weighed upon us; men were
quernlous, and asking if it were true that
no honorable peace were attainable .ex-
cept by continued warfare. Then, it was
said it was our .perverse indisposition to
negotiate that led to the arrogance of the
invader. This delusion went SO far that
it penetrated the legislative. halls, and
threatened a disruption, of the harmonyuf
our councils. Now, cheerful voices are
heard around, and hope beams on eyery
countenance. Now, the resolute and war
worn soldier is nerved anew. Now. the
cheering and purifying influence of our
glorions women sheds its light over our
cause, and still leads US on in the path Of
duty and honor. What is tho cause of
this striking change. in the aspect of our
atiairss Have we found allies in .foreiou
lands, such as came to our fathers in the
hour of their sorest need. to stretch their
arm to our assistancel Has any European
State come to our aid in the time Of orr

He painted the scene IN the Yankee Con

There is oneother thing wanted. Aftcr
YOU. have given rs all the means ana al
the men we want, the croakers should 90

the trenches, and the soldiers should infiict
capital punishment upon them. Put them
in the trenches, and let the soldiers come
to town and take their places. That is the
sort Of capital punishment Icwouid- accord
them. These croakers say, This or that
general is whipped :" Gold is sixty and
calico ninety" They have no right to talk
in this manner. A man recently came to
my house and commenced croaking,, when
I took mp my hat and left, saying | would
not listen to bin. Applause. These
mcn>who have not spent one night ont OF
their comfortable beds since the beginning
of the wsT, are uttering their dismal COM
plants, while the soldiers are passing res.
OPTIONS that if they do not cease they will
fight them and the Yankees too: He then
read resolutions of the Fifty'seventh, Fonr-
teenth and Thirty first Virginia regiments,
and Davis's Mississippi brigade, showing
the spirit and determinatonof cur soldiers.
That, he said, was the way to talk. These
were model soldier resolutions; scorn for
: the croakers, confidence in their rulers,
and contempt for the weakened. Also,
resolutions of a similar character from q
Louisiana regiment, showing that they
would make every sacrifice for the defence
of Virginia, upon whose soil SO many Of
their number had laid down their lives ;
that they entertained fend memories of
home, but were fred with stern resolve
not to return until this fight was fought to
the end Louisiana stood at this hour as
firm and erect as in 1851, when the first
shot was fired at Sumter. There was. no
proposition for peace there the war could
not cease so long as the foot OF the foe
pressed their soil.
Mr.. Benjamin said he saw no prospect
Of cessation of this struggle during the
present year. Let every man stand up
and nerve his heart to the contest The
enemy was utterly unable to continue this
war beyond the present campaign. Let
US stand mp firmly, and we shall be free.
In conclusion. Mr.. Benjamin drew a
bea utiful picture of peace and its conse.
qnent blessings, and said all that and more
awaited Us if we .nerved ourselves as we
ought to for this last struggle. >
