GEN, sLoCUm's SPEECH.
General slocu1n has Just delivered at syra-
cuse careful cut-and-dried speech, which
shows that he possesses two striking quail
tics, us telling in politician a. in 3 soldier
audacity and pugnac,ty, which, when enlisted !
in manly cause, become courage and force,
but when employed TO defend sophistry and !
falsclood deserve no better names tllan we
have given thr1n.
4sa specimen OF his reckless audaclty as n |
speaker we need only produce his statement
in speaking Of Gcne1na Sherman that, because
of BITS large estimates Of the force required to |
subdue the rebellion he a'was pronounced by |
the Ner Department to he insane" Slocnm
evidently intends this as shot at Secretary
Stanton, but It Is very poor one Mr. STAN I
ton was not Secretary Of War at the time
6llcrmnn was pronounced insane, and he was
never 'spronounced insane'' by any head of
the War Department, but by the correspon-
dent OF newspaper In Ohio. We cite anoth-
cr example.
"Ihe operations Of the Wnr hsy1nK desuosalixed
and rendered the alare yaluecAk the States nrr nov
solun,arils moving 10 the entire extinction o' the
The aboye brief sentence eontains but five
untruths:
i. The slaves were not ademorslized II by
the regular operations Of war, {. e., the march
ing and eopteading Of armies, bat By thp anti-
slarcSy policy Of Abraham Lincoln aud the
Republican party, but for which armies in
nny number might have "opelated" It'll the
day Of doom, ind the slaves would only have
been driven closer to their masters.
.. To set slaves free Is not known al the
North Us demorallzing them.
S. The States arc not voluntarily moving to
abolish slavery, and do not pretend to do It
voluntarily.
4. They arr not moving to abolish slavery
because Of their slaves :" having been demor~
allied or rendered yalueiess."
5. Most important Of all, they arr not nlov.
ing "to an entire extinction Of the system.'
On the contrary In the state Of Mississippi,
which Gen. Slocum has just Loft, they hare
passed ordinances excluding them from testi-
fying In courts Of justice, excluding them
from bringing suits asnlnst white men and
decreelng TINT nil blacks, who arc not in reg
ular employment, shall be considered rsErants
and sold to labor By the State. All that the
whites have TO do therefore Is 10 refuse 10
hire tle blAeka and they can buy them Is Of
old at public auction This Gen. Elocum
blasrhenousty thanks God ior IS an entire
extinction OF the system" We quote fur
