Year: 1861

Among the most zealous supporters of the Government in it's efforts to suppress rebellion and preserve the nation from dismemberment, are the leaders of the late Breckinridge party in most of the Northern States or, especially in Massachusetts and New York. We are pleas ed to notice that among this class of politicians, our friend II. w. ROGERS. Esq. of Buffalo, is doing good service in the canvass now in pro- gross in the Empire State, and that he heartily supports the nominations of the recent Union Convention for State Officers We copy with pleasure, a portion of his Speech at a recent Ratification meeting in the Queen City of the Lakes. After reviewing the action of the State Convention, in which he spoke in glowing terms of his friend, D. s. DICKINSON, Mir. Rogers said:

 An attempt is being made to drive away from this organization men who are really loyal at heart-men who are disposed to join us in pre- senting solid phalanx of opposition to the enemies of the country. Now, do not think ty to step aside from his party at this time is a traitor but do say that we have reached a crisis that is infinitely more important than any politics.

 I am frequently asked by Democratic friends how am getting along in the Republican par ty. might as well answer them now. I am getting along very nicely. I am getting along very nicely with my Democratic brethren, and with my Republican brethren, who stand with me on the platform of the People. I do not say that the Democratic party has left me, as some have suggested that would. I have Jeff the Democratic party, but not the Democratic principles. I think the Democratic has gone wrong-it is off the track. the switch has been turned, and it is on the wrong road. am afraid that those who go with it w;Il be involved in a smash-up.

 In the recent Democratic Convention at Sy- racuse there were adopted three loyal and sound resolutions and nine that were false, queruous and miserable-that showed the heart of this Convention was not in the Country's cause. If they had stopped with the first three, I could have had no difficulty in taking passage with the party. But they did not. They went on to where cannot f5llow them. Their fourth resolution contains, do not doubt, a great deal of truth but this is no time for it to be spo- ken. There is no necessity for it. It only dis tracts attention from the great issue that is be- fore us now, of country or no country, govern ment or no government; and so with all the rest.

 The same petty quibbling and querulousness is continued through the whole remaining series, until we come to the ninth and this is a broad, open attack on the President. It accuses him of violating the sacred writ of habeas corpus of assuming unwarranted powers in establish ing system of foreign passports, and so on, condemning all the extraordinary measures that he has deemed it necessary to resort to in car rying the country through this stupendous cri- sis. What is the effect of all this? To alien. ate the people from the Administration-to open a breach between them-to weaken that mighty popular support upon which the Govern ment must depend for success in it's effort to maintain itself. And what does it indicate A miserable ventilation of party malice and spleen A pretty support this-pretty loyalty and fdel- ity to the constituted Government. Is there a Democrat in the house who is not ashamed of it-who cannot see it's effect?

 If it can operate at all upon the masses of the country it must be to retard enlistment to wea- ken sympathy between the Government and the people, to block the whole of the great cause on the .nan who is urged to enlist as defender of the Union and the Constitution and the Govern 'nes,t7 Why, they tel him that he is to be con-

 nanded by piou who will sacrifice" him to a political necessity" and who will steal all that h. h. even tb2 clothes upoD his bac,s. Now who cu.. a earnestly patriotic and 8 aat sin cere loyalist at such q time os this, g.f endorse party which expresses itself like s,5?

 The man who undertakes to s.. upon these resolutions will find himself in z very unpleasant predicament. If there is young Democrat here who is politically ambitious, uust tell him what think will be the consequence of lis !az king this position think he will have ta spend large portion of the remainder or his life in ex- plaining.

 Mir. Rogers illustrated this suggestion by al- luding at some length to the Hartford Conven- tion, and those who were concerned in that movement. He did not believe that those men contemplated anything reasonable in that move ment, and yet they were condemned through their whole lives to the task of setting them selves right, and purging themselves of the sus- picion that rested upon them. But in all the proceedings of that notorious Convention you will not find anything as bad unreasonable, and as mischievous as in these last nine resolu. tions of the Syracuse Convention, and especially in the ninth

 As a contrast to the resolutions of the Demo- cratic Convention MT. Rogers read those adopt ed by the Peoples Convention, exclaiming in conclusion: A man can afford to leave his par ty to join movement of the People the spirit and aim of which is proclaimed in language like this and ask my Democratic friends to stand by me on this patriotic and bipartisan platform until the last rebel has repented or has fallen. We do not wish them to ignore a principle of the Democratic party but it never was Demo- cratic principle to sympathize with or encourage the enemies of the country. And it is not the Democratic party which has taken the position that we call upon them to repudiate; but it is @ certain class of interruptions men who have ac- quired control of the machinery of the party; and not of the party itself.

 It is business too small for earnest patriots, to bandy words with each other about this policy and that policy, this measure and that measure when the grand issue is, government or no gov ernment. We have got constitutional head to the government that we mean to malntaln-a leader constitutionally chosen-and there IS no alternative for us as true citizens but to follow him so long as he carries the Nations standard in the right direction, and like true man. It is necessary that we should give expression to the great fact that the loyal States of this Union are a unit, solid and invincible in their determination to maintain it so long as there is hand to strike or blow to be struck. There is no way in which we can make this convincing to the traitors who are armed against our Union but by this Peoples consolidation, and we call therefore upon every man of every party to give to the winds his politics, and join us in proclaim ing with one voice the unconditional loyalty of New York.
