urged OH from Maine to the golden
sands of California against treason
and traitors. 'There should be deep,
q broad line drawn between the lead

well make the distinction. He did
not believe Mr.. Davis or. Mr.. Ste
phens, after four years Of crime, and
after having assisted ia all the ills Of
this country, had as good fright us a
loyal man to position in this country.
Was there to be no difference, 30 dis

was for making that distinction so
broad and SO wide that each and every

There was 70 be u great ,ssseinblase in

less than Che destruction of the Union,
organization of this country, and put

! There would be soldiers there and
copperheads, but he Con. logan
would say that the soldier who would
JOIN with snch party politically,
after having seen his brothers shot
Gown by rebels and traitors, would
lose his manhood, never again to be
re-clothed With it in the eyes OF the
good and loyal people of this country.
He then went on to SAY tia: the
: Philadelphia Convention =. copper
heads and traitors looked like a
scheme for the President s recollection.
and that the men who would go there
/ would go not as loyal citizens of the
3 Government, but AS loyal only to ole
man; and if the ovcrturning of the
Gov.rnment were again attempted, it
would bring about revolution that
would not commence like th,. last, by

going to do. hut it wonld commence
by the uprising OF the whole America,

and whose hands would be ielt. Thcu
every man who would put out his
hand to rot the pillars of the Govern
ment, that hand wonld be withcred,
that head would come of, and ':trea-
son then would he made odious, and
traitors then would he punished. .

The Chairman having requested the
audience not to attend nor in anv way
to give countenance to the Philadel-
