Another Patriotic Speech. ST.
We published, q few. days ago, the
speech of Mr.. Harris, of Maryland,
delivered in Congress-, as being one
of remarkable power and vigor. We
now snbjoin some extracts from
speech delivered by r. w. Hanna,
"a partner at law of the Hon. D. w.
Voorhees, at Louisville, Kentucky.
Mr.. Hanna is Senator, from the
Terre Haute District, in the Legisla-
ture Of Indiana. This speech, in con-
uection with utterances from other
public men of the great Northwest,
gives US hope that justice will yet be
meted out to the Southern States.
Mr.. Hanna says that the issue at this
time is ''between pure and noble
Caucasian destiny and the blighted,
withered and ruined condition that
must follow a violation of the stern
and immutable laws of our nature"
Mr.. Hanna then goes on to say:
"The President of the United
States 80 understands it, and I believe
he is right. He has taken his stand
has taken his stand upon the Consti-
tuition, and all the combined powers
Of fanaticism and he'll cannot drive
him from it. Here the widest en-
thusiasm prevailed throughout the
whole Of the vast audience.
This very hour, with grip of iron,
ing throat OF the Puritan Apollyon.
Tremendous cheering.]
Mr.. Hanna then reviews the course
of the radicals, and their efforts to
thwart the policy of President John
SON, by usurping powers never given
to Congress, turning out of legally
elected members from their seats
their outrages of the Constitution
their measures for the degradation
and humiliation of the South, and
the degsneracy OF that body since
the days Of Madison, Randolph,
Webster and CLAY; and then pro-
ceeds:
eve have been in the midst of
gloom aud horrors. The last six years
have been an almost unbroken season
OF depression and despair The face
of the land has been so covered with
the deep waters Of trouble, that there
has scarcely been so much as an Ara
rat, where the fainting bird of hope
could rest his weary wing. But, after
all this. the radicals are not yet salts
fed. They say they must have more
bfood-that there must be more de-
structioD, more widows, more or
phans, and more heart-burnings.
They cannot be satisfied. Aggression
is their motto, revolution their pur-
pose; and it is now for the people to
say how far they shall succeed. They
can be overthrown, and I believe and
trust i'll God they will be-" Great
applause
Mr.. Hanna then reviews the histo-
ry of the Republican party since Lin
coins election. He pays high COM
piment to Virginia for her efforts to
restore harmony, and is severe upon
the radicals for their obstinate refusal
and rejection of every measure con-
ducive to that end. He then quotes
the reneEeks of Senator Douglas upon
the compromise recommended by the
COMMITTEE of Thirteen" of which
Mr.. Davis and Senator Toombs were
members. On that occasion, Mr..
Douglas said:
81 believe this to be fair and
amicable adjustment. II you of the
Republican side are not willing TO ac-
eept this, nor the proposition of the
Senator from Kentucky, pray tell me
what you are willing to do? I ad-
dress this inquiry to the Republicans
alone for the reason that, in the Com
mit*ee Of Thirteen, few days ago,
every member from the South, in.
cluding Messrs. Toombs and Davis,
