The Presidents speech.

Into his speeches a story, an illustration hist
points the Argument ho intends 10 convey. In his
speech on Tuesday evening he sad
'Conccde ,hst the new government Of Joursns

"a. shall sooner hAv, the fowl ~ hathing The egg,
than by srnAshng H."
Our fscenous Pro-iden, has evidently made M
his mind shat eggs ar. found in the highways by .
military guard and, aner bsing ooddled by proper
protection, the inchaaie fowl viii como forth and
grow, according ,o The directions ri tho-o who as
ss,ed Al the birth. whs, would Mr.. Lincoln s>y

eIteci much Improvement. Considering the mothod
uscd in collecting such sgga and their Subsequent
incubation. we have no guarantee thai The fowl
reared will he q tho breed or qu,hty erpec'sd.
According 10 Mr.. LISooLs. h. hnds few men, re-
presenting ten per Of the regular electoral vote
of Louisiana, anxious W send Representatives 70

thN other men, equally determined W he loyal
citizens ~ the United states rofuse 70 encourage
such . tehAbilitsnon II their STATE. The few are
nevertheless imposed upon tho many by the MILL
tAry authorities, and when their representatives
nre set ~ Washington, the President believes he
has secured sn aqs, from which will 10 hAtehod tho

..ttough the latter may bS moro rdious, more
reliable fowl would 30 produced.
Whenever the people Of Lou SLAMS, Virginia or
any o.her sou!he State desire to be represented
IN our National Couno, hey will spontaneously
.dop. .be proper steps 10 accomplish such wish.
Ulul they are prepared 70 send Senators and Rep
re~ustvts, Il IL better W leave The eggs in the
nest. The egg bo,onc STALE for want Of proper
care, the owners mus, pocket tho consequent loss.
Thus II the people Of Louisiana are still obstnstely
bent upon refusing TIE advantages Of fellowship
with the people In tho Northern States II does not
help the matter by hstching any evg the Federal
authorities choose h. consider contains the ger IN
of loyal s,Ate government. According TO tho
theory ~ our whole Government maority Of the
people elect tho representatives who arc 10 make
the laws for, and govern tho whole country.
Therefore, this forrihle arbitrary, unnatural way
of rccreating LOUISIANA ono ~ the Loyal States, 10
not likely to he aduitie Az the best method q re-
storing anic,blr relations between the Secession
und Union S,s,es. The most perfect freedom, con-
ssieut with die Constitution and existing laws, must
r,t 10 guaranteed every IepentAnt rebel, before
Wa can expect that he people will elsc. Reprosen-
ntives N Congress Then, when they have chosen
their representatives II 10 easier matter W
range minor difficulties. n as Ma. LrcoLS says,
s.. not necessary TO consider whether any State
has cen out OF the Unlor," he must clearly admit
tho night Of the people in such State 10 elect whom
they trs, 10 represent their Interests in
the Federal Congress. But" we hear some radi-
cal say, "theee people have been rebels have been
rampant secesEonists, and what security have ws
hat they will not send men Of the same stripe 10
Congress - The best answer to such Arguments
j. to say that "have bcens," or sinners, generally
make the best Christians. They have seen the
tly Of secession, and will be careful not
n commit like error in the future. Bcsdef, the
laws of Congress, promptly enforced, are sufficient
10 prevent any future Buompt on tho par, Of
Southcrn Representatives 10 disturb the Union
,hht they will swear to sustain, accordance with
the new oath OF allegiance. Then, selfinteres, a
,uorgrr bond than all others will induce such
burned children 81 the rebellion to dread the Gre
from which they have escaped, through
The lonicncy accorded them hy the spirit
