in earnest, and now | want to know
why it is that the whole train Of SIAN
derers, calumniators and traducers have
been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS heels?
Why is it that they array themselves
against me? Is it because [ stand on
Jhe side Of the people, and when say
the people ! include the sailors and
soldiers? Why it they are arrayCd in
traduciug and viIlifying and calumn.a-
ting me? Where We're they during the
Lebellion? { \ voice" Homein bedr')
In the Senate l raised my voice a
gainst it, and whenit was believed that
it would be otheinterest Of the nation,
and would assist in putting down the
rebellion, did not leave my place in
the Senate-a placeof emolument, ease
and distinction, and take my position
where the enemyc0uId be reached, and
where mems lives We're in danger?
Cheers and cries Of "that's r')
T'uducers and Cultulaiaf0rs.
While l was thus exposed personally
and publicly, and in every way, some
Of my present traducer5 and calumnia-

and were enjoying ease and comfort.
But care not for them; I care not for
that SANDER. The foul Whelp of sin

here to-day that, although pretty we'll

long enough to live down the whole
pack Of traducers and sIanderers. ZAP

They have turned the whole pack
loose to lower me in your estimation.
Voices, ''They cannot doit."1 Tray,
Blanche, and Sweetheart, little dogs
and ALL come along swapping and
snarling at my heels, but I heed them
not. The American people, citizens,
soldiers and sailors, know thatfrom my
advent into public life to the present
moment / have always stood unyield
ing and unwavcring as the advocate
and defender Of their rights and inter
ests. lCheers.l
7Hird Ordeal.
We are now in the nations third or
deal; we are not yet through it. We
said that States could not 20 out Of the
Union; we denied the doctrine OF Sc
cession, and we have demonstrated that
we We're right; we moustrated it by
the strong arm; yes, the soldiers and
saiiors-G0d bless them have demon
strated, by their patriotic hearts and
strong arms, that States have not the
power tOIeave the Union. (Applause.)
What followed? The Confederate ar
1IIIc- were ovcrpowcred and disbnuded,
and there was a willingness, on the part
of the people of those States, to come
back, to be Obedient to the laws, ana
