The chairman briefly addressed the meeting. He
said great struggle was before the American peo-
pie. The present was crisis in country in
which every man must be interested and one which
every man In the land ought TO thoroughly under
per adminstral ion of public affairs. The poorest as
well as the richest In the land were all to be affected
by the result. Several years had now passed since
the sound OF clashing arms had ceased in the land

the cessation OF no tities the normal condition of
| our government would have been restored on the
contrary, instead Of Southern States being permitted
to resume their functions under the constitution

ments OF patriotism and OF wisdom--these states
were excluded from its protection and held as con-
guered provinces under the rule OF military despot
| ism. Congress has usurped all the powers OF the
government, has stripped the Executive branch
Of the authority conferred by the constitution II
has crushed The judicial power OF the Supreme Court
of the United States, and far has usurpaton adj

Of uneasness and insecurity prevailing In all

raise his voice there that night that notwithstanding
that his voice almost worn out by exertions at
other theatres OF action in the interior OF this state
he would appear there that ngat and speak TO the
gallant democracy Of this city q few words Of en-
enlargement and hope; and as the eloquent chairman
Of this meeting had said that he came from the
this state he was happy to say that he had per-
sonal interest in the matter. What was the Ameri-
can w Government today We had no kings
surrounded by tire minions Of despotsn but a
President and Congress, and the American people
put them there. Therefore he thought they would
say with HIM that the government OF the United
states was the government Of the people, and
