In the course of Mr.. Durant's remarks
|
stances permit them, are now flying from
their homes in the South to seek refuge,
hespitalities and freedom of voting and dis
cussion here In the North How long is
this to continue? How long is it before
the loyal people of the Union will give the
loyal men in the South Government
where opinion is free, where every man
shall have the right to express his senti-
ments in vote and words, where he shall
have the respect and the privilege of COM
municating in every respectful way what
he thinks, what he has to say? DoyOu not
know that now the liberty of speech and
the liberty of the press is dead in New Or
leans, and that American citizens were
slaughtered in the streets of New Orleans,
under the American flag, without provo
tion? .. , .-.....1- r.. H.,,,
Ex-Gov. Hamilton also spoke. In the
course Of his address he said Prepare your
heart, and your arm too, perhaps, for an
other conflict. Cries of we are ready.
You know the wicked element that has
produced this fruit, and it is with deep re-
gret that make this prediction, after the
sad and gloomy events of the last four years
But are we to ignore our friends North and
South Whatever have been my prejudices
in the past, am not willing to ignore the
black man any longer.
Governor Brownlow said: he came to
listen to Mr.. Durant. He had often read OF
the hero of New Orleans. He had Just
concluded journey of 1000 miles in As
hours, and came at the head Of 80 loyalists
of Tennessee. They came to Convention
ofwhat was termed by the Executive ''mean
whites and poor sneaks;" but was Con-
yention where it would not be necessary to
caucus in orIer to exclude any of the dele
gates in order to produce harmony. Nor
would 1t be necessary to muzzle any OF
the delegates. He begged d pardon
for having been the man who
placed Andrew johnson In nomination.
AS God had forgiven him, he hoped the
people of PENNSYLVANIA would also forgive
him. But he would say 1t would have been
better If the whole of the Tennessee dele
CATION had been in Libby prison instead OF
Baltimore. [Cheers and laughter.] In re-
gard to the South, he would say that If the
spirit of the South's rebellious spirit, COM
bined with the treachery and copperhead-
ism of the North, shall bring another war
upon this country and force you to leave
I your wives and children, your homes and
i parents, and invade the South to put it
down, want to have some thing to say
about the division Of the force. Let there
be three divisions. Let the first go armed
according to regulations, with small arms
and artillery, and let them do the killing.
Let the second go with pine knots and burn
ing torches, and let them do the burning.
Let the thisd and last gowith the surveyors
compass and chain, and we will sell out the
lands to pay the expenses of the war, and
4 settle the country with men who will honor
this glorious bannerH [Cheefs.] ts.f9
