are carrying about now, like those two
birds, q big mud turtle from East Ten
nessee. EGreat applause.l That tur-
tie started out upon his tour, and he
opened his mouth with very near the
same result as the terrapin in the IA
BILE. He opened it first at the city Of
Philadelphia. He told the people OF
Pennsylvania the astonishing news
that they were in slavery. Ho opened
it next at Delmonico's, and | presume
he opehed il there great many times
lTChecrs.1 He there said this remark
able thing "The only way you can
Judge OF any set Of people Is by Their
professions and acts" That. sup
nose, is an original remark. Laugh
ter He said THE Southern peo-
plo have met together in Philadelphia
to pass upon the condition OF the
country. The only way yon can tell
about any one is his professions and
actions Mr.. Johnson, if the protcs-
rsions and actions don't agree, one de-
yours the other, and you must take
the last. He said there that the peo-
plo of the South went out of this Un-
ion because they we've afraid they
could not get their rights under their
fathers Constitution. He said that
they went out Of this Union in order
that they might enjoy the Constitn-
ton of their fathers separately. lie
says now, "We are willing to give
them all they fought for" Now, Of
, course, if they arc going to get all they
! fought for, they are satisfied, ana,
when people are satisfied, they are
sincere. But had an indistinct no.
) ton, and so did tho people OF the
! North, that this was not exactly con
| stitutionaI war, upon the part OF the
l South. / never dreamed that they
Z went out OF the Union TO support the
+ Constitution of tho United States. l
Q never dreamed that they went out OF
: this Union according to law.
+ But will tell you what | did think.
s l thought that they broke up the I'm
d ion because they could not control it;
y because the majority Of tho people,
d as they had o right to do, elected the
" President of their choice. We said
.. to the people, the idea with US is that
" tho voice Of the people is the voice OF
|. God, and if you won't submit to the
l. will of the majority, SO help us the
t Lord that protects our flag, wc will
d make you submit. Applausc.l We
> had kind of dim notion that The wal
l. was unconstitutional on their part, and
% 1 think SO yet. The States arc no,
/? out of the Union, but, thank God, they
l. are out Of Congress, aud they shal
Q, stay out until they are willing t(
d como in upon an equality with loya
ID men.
