Speech of General WaIbridge.
Fellow-cirZens of Pennsylvama:-I am not
here to speak at length, but to assure you that
the Empire State expects Pennsylvania 10 do
her duty in this campaign, and to assure you
hat we shall regard you as recreant unless you
give GearY forty thousand majority in the cleo
lion. II will diffuse JOY throughout our State,
and bury johnson so deep that he will never be
Iesurrected.
We did not believe in him. He sand he would
lead the negroes through the Red Sea, and he
has done so, through the bloody massacres Of
L
may hear from the Senators of Michigan and
Indiana. ! am only here to start the meeting.
| VIII only say 10 you, recollect that as goes the
keystone State SO goes the Union.
Senator Chandler, of Michigan, was here in
Il todUceS. He said:-
Your expectations, | am afraid, have been
raised too high by my friends euloglstc re-
marks My speech will be short.
We have passed this one rebellion. In 1861
This nation was in a aferment. Rebels and traitors
threatened the Government Five years have
assoc since that time, aud the Rebels of the
south have been put down by the North. They
don't care to fight any more in the field, but
they will murder loyal men in the South; but
they don't want TO fight the North. They pro-
pose 10 march forward and enter Congress to
make laws for us loyal people.
They were defeated, and said they accepted
the situation, but say they have only changed
their leaders and their tactics.
Then 1t was under the leadership ot Jed.
Davis; to-day it is under Andrew johnson.
Then they fought to overthrow our Govern
rent; to-day they Will vote to overthrow it.
These Rebels now propose to become your law
mab eTs, and to take charge OF your national
affairs. Can treason go farther than this? Has
1t deeper and darker shade
KeaG the history of Andrew johnson and his
travelling menagere (aDplausel, and would you
believe that we had offered these Rebels the
most mapnaulmous terms? We can have no
indemnity for the past, the dead cannot be
recalled, but we do ask from the sincerity for
the future. But they say, 1--WE demand our
rights" | went TO Richmond Just after the
war, and then there was no talk of "rIghts.n
Why more humble thenY But under "my
policy the arrOgants demand their rights. If
they ask forgiveness, will give 1t, but II they
want right" let us give them to them in full,
and hang them.
In regard o Congress, as Mr. JohnsoA says
