The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-06-27

Won roll back the tide of time and make
the choice again. The answer leaps from
every heart and bursts from every lip. /
would not sacrifice one such noble spirit as
Nc Pherson's, or one such brilliant and intre-
mid soldier as Stonewall Jackson, for Thad-
deus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Henry
Wilson, Zacharah Chandler, and all the
hell brood of the vicious fanatics, bigots,
and traitors they represent to-day. Tire
mendous and long continued cheering.l
THE AUTHORS. OF SECESSION AND NrLLIFICA-
| TON.
Mr.. Hanna charges upon New England
the authorship of both notification and
secession. He says:
Modification was born on the very soil OF
the same New England States whose pull
pits are now so prolific of anathcmaS
against secessionists, and whose men and
women daily supplicate Almighty God
for the sweet privilege of washing their
hands in the blood of Jefferson Davis.
| Voices" That's so, that's So" and
checrs.l The history of the country bears
me out in this statement, and no man can
successfully deny it. Let us turn over a
few pages and see how it is.
! hold in my hand the address published
by the famous convention held at Hartford,
Connecticut, on the fifteenth day of Janu-
arv, 1915. Massachusetts, New lIamp-
shire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and
Vermont were all represented in that
convention. Among the names of those
who represented Massachusetts, | see the
name of one Samuel Sumner, who most
| likely at the same time transmitted his
name and his treason to Charles Sumner,
the present Senator of that State. Laugh
ter and applauSc.l But that was doubtless
before the Sumner family had resolved TO
"makc treason odious." [Grcat laughter J
/ If You will indulge me, sir, will read a
single extract from that address:
Events may prove that the causes OF
our calamitics are deep and permanent.
/ They may be found TO proceed not merely
! from the blindness of prejudice, pride Of
opinion, violence of party spirit, or the
/ confusion of the times, but they may be
traced to implacable combinations of indi-
viduals, or To States, to monopolIzc power
and office, and 10 trampc without rcmorSe
upon the rights and interests Of CONNER
cial sections of the Union. Whenever 1t
shall appear that these causes are radical
and permanent, a separation by equitable
arrangement will be preferable to an alli-
ancc BY conStraint, among nominal friends
but real enemies, inhamcd by mutual ha-
/ tired and jealousy, and inviting, by intcS-
tine divisions, contempt and aggreSSonS
from abroad"
Here, sir, the right of a State to ScCcdc
from the Federal Union was promulgated
in New England as much as fifty years ago.
MAKING TREASON ODIouS.
Mr.. Hanna, following up this view,
quotes from laws of the New England
States nulIifying the fugitive slave law,
which Mr.. Webster said was as binding as
the Constitution itself upon every officer
of every State government. Mr.. Hanna
says
A portion of the southern States, it is
true, did put aside the Constitution, anu
set at naught the powers OF the Federal
! Government. Now, New England says III
doing this they committed crime which
can only he eXpiated by the hetacombS OF
thousand victims, sacrificed upon thou
sand smoking affairs How many victims
does she bring to the same altarS, TO be
offered up 10y the same priests, Ill atone
ment for the same crimes! ApplauSc.I
/ How many does she bring, sir! We want
! 10 Lear no more lectures from that quarter
about constitutional obedience so long as
/ Charles Sumner lives TO spread the tolls OF
/ their patent mischief no more of turpl-
tude and gibhcts, while they themse Ives
make q mockcry of civilization by Their
adulations of the crested criminals they
nourish in their midst-So long as Banks
is tolerated, and Butler runs at large.
/. The Radical party is in
favor of the distranchisemcnt OF eleven
great States, and of the utter political eX-
tinction of millions of American citizens.
| The President and the entire conservative
element Of the country are against lt-lap-
plausel against it, sir, because suchapolicy
is autagOnistic TO the genius Of the age
against il, because it would be unjust,
vindictive, despotic, cruel, and disastrous.
/ [Cheers.l As / would spear the wolf that
! delights to Swecten his tooth with human
blood. so | would hunt from the land the
worse than wild beast Of that tanatlclSm
which has no pleasure above It's savage
rapacitv, and no office above the offices OF
cruelty and of death. lGreat applauSc.l
| Away with il with its hates, its prosecutions,
| its rancor, and its miSericS-away with II
forever. sir. Then a new daySprlng from
on high shall visit uS--then the lost days OF
our prosperity shall be restored-then the
windows of Heaven shall once more be
opened, and the long eXiled minister OF
peace, shedding from his white wings the
ambrosial dews of hope and JOY upon our
famished and fruitleSS earth, shall descend
to us again and dwell with Us in the midst
of increased confidence and happiness.

THE TRIUMPH OVER RADICALISM AND THE
RESTORATION.
speak for the people of the great north,
west. The people, sir, are humane ana
Just. This cry of terror does not proceed
from them. They want peace and resto-
ration. [Cheers.l They are weary OF the
burdens and the taxes of war brought on
by fanaticism, and which they would have
prevented by sound reason and timely
Cancellation they are weary OF the vast
expenditure of public moneys for the sup
port of worthless negro troops IN states
where they are not wanted, not needed,
and where honest labor invites them back
to the rich fields which they have deserted
they are weary of the prodigality, the I'M
positions, the extortionS, and the usurpa-
tions of the Freedmcn's Bureau, together
with all the dogs, wolves, and .lackalS that
ever follow upon its scent for prey. Tire.
mendous applause.l They are sick and
weary with the whole of il. They intend
