at A. NJ, to listen 70 this distinguish
ed orator and statesman, while he dis

= Mr. Maynard, in an eloquent, clear
and forcible manner, portrayed the
grandeur and excellence of our govern
ment and its institutions the wicked
and foolish attempt OF Southern aris-
tocracy TO destroy it /; how IL is that,
whenever the porcelain pitchers" and
akitchen and mill Shouse crockefy" q. e.
aristocracy and democracy come to-
gether, the former are sure 10 get bro
ken that the elective franchise is not
a certain inalienable right,I ,bnt a.
high Official one; that none but friends
trusted with it; that a pet dog when
once found on sheep is never put to
guard the sheep again; but If he is
much of q pet, his master does not hang
him, but is satisfied by putting a small
chain about his neck to! restrain him in
all their rights under the government
when they renowned their allegiance

iect TO Ii again, and took up arms to de-
stroy ii; their impudence in now
whimpering for the political control of
what they did all In their wills and
power to destroy; that IL is a duty we
oWeto ourselves, our country, the whole
world and future generations, to estab-
lfSh the important lesson that political
aspfrants can't make war, bloody,
cruel, desolating war. upon this govern
ment, and then come and have dLLthe
rights of loyal citizens as though trea-
son is no crime. In other words, they
can't in rebellion, play the game OF
theads- / win, tails you lose;n and that
the security and prosperity of our State
and nation Is now In the hands Q! their
friends, but If we place the sacred trust
mother hands, we VIII lose all. Mr..
