August 10. 1861.
NO TAMPERING WITH THR RRBKLI.10N.
I cannot, afford to torn away from n.y duly
because a politics! opponent is acting with
me, nor tn stay back from a duty because a
political friend deserts mo. No; 1 must go
on and discharge a great duty. I hold it to
b the first, duty of every ci'izen, of every
party, to aid in restoring if restored it can
he this great and good Government.
I Cheers, end cries nf "Thai's true doctrine "
Previous to tbe last political election, this
country was at peace with tbe world, and ft
was in the enjoyment of greater privileges
than any other Government on earth ; there
was no people so blessed in every ramifica
tion of society. This mighty sea of hnppy
fares before me testifies to the fact that they
had been in the enjoyment of civil and reli
gions freedom. And so it was from the
North to the South, and from the Kast to
the West, with over thirty millions nf people,
nnnppresaed by Government, hut every one
enjoying tbe fruit nf his own itidnstry, and
terally none to molest or to make him airaid.
Then, what cause is there for this great
disturbance? Why is it that one portion of
this country is in arms against another! L.et
ns inquire the cause of the complaint first,
and then see if we can prescribe a remedy
afterward. We all aeree that the grievance
is most serious. Hnt whnt is the true way of
putting-down whnt I shall term a rebellion ?
And we can all agree in one thing: that
rehellinn is either right or wrong, justifiable
or nr justifiable to be approved or con
demned, as a whole. If it is right for a
portion of this country to take op arms against
this Government, it is right to sustain such
action j and if they are wrong, thoy should
be pnt down by the power of the people.
Applause There is no half war bouse in
this matter no tarrying place between bus
taining the Government, and attempting its
overthrow. There is no peace proposition
that will suit the case until the rebellion is
first pot down, f Applause. And were I in
favor, or disposed to tamper with this rebel
lion, or aid or countenance it, I would go and
take up arms with them. Because if it is
relit for them to take np arms, it is right for
them to have armed aid and assistance. If
they are wrong, if they are guilty nf treason,
murder, and arson, then they should he over
thrown by the whole power of the Gcvero-ment-
f Applause, and cries of "good ;"J aod
pnt down so that no resurrection day will
ever find rebellion again. ( Renewed ap
plause.! Now I believe I am one of those
who in former years, thnnght that sectional
discussions put in jeopardy tbe well being of
Hie L nion. 1 believe now, as then, that there
r.ever was a sectional controversy that justi
fied this, or any armed rebellion. I believe
this rebellion did not arise out of Bectional
agitation, hut from a hlind, wicked, reckless
ambition. And I believe it is the duty of
every man, woman, and child, to raise an
arm against it to crush it. Our Constitution
is never tn he put down.
An indistinct voice in tbe crowd "Com-
promise.' I V hat does my frienrt say, "Com
promise'" ell, I will get at 'Compromise
before 1 get through. I Laughter and cheers
I believe in the integrity nf the Union ; 1
believe In the integrity of the Constitution ;
I heiieve lo sustaining both by the power of
the Government But they say, "You would
not coerce a State?" No; I would not
coerce Mote. 1 have said 1 would not
coerce a State first, because it is impracti
cable ; hecstise yno cannot coerce a State.
Second, because it would he unjust to coerce
a State in its domestic policy if it could be
done. Hut ynu may coerce rebellion in a
Slate ant il you give that State an opportu
nity to act through its loyal citizens in its
duties to the Union. And 1 would coerce
rebellion wherever 1 could find it. You may
not coerce a snmmnnity, but yon may coerce
its thieves and murderers. You may coerce
Slate criminals, and thus enable tbe State
and its loyal citizens to fulfill their relations
in tbe Government of the Union. If we cn
sustain our Union, if we can uphold oor
Constitution, it it not by compromising with
rebellion it is by potting down rebellion,
ami making oor compromise with EiNtlity
I Applause, and a voice 1 nero ts year
bemocracv."! And of all men living, a
I Democrat is the last who can take a
stand against the Constitution of bis country.
Cheere.J A Democrat lives, and moves,
and has nit being in the Constitution. He
cannot live outside of, or lo opposition to, the
Constitution. He most itand by the Loo
stitutinn fn all its parts. It was tbat doc
trine that pave the Democratic . party its
power and ascendency in the times ef Jeffer
son, of Madison, aod of that old hero, Andrew
Jackson. Jost jo proportion as the Democ
racy has wandered from the Constitution,
just in the same proportion have they gone
down. And if they had been faithful, and
stood folly np to their own doctrines, all the
Abolition parties of the earth, and all the
Republican parties of the earth, and all the
combined powers of the earth could never
have pot down the. Old Democratic party.
Cries of "That is so," and cheers. I have
ever believed in tbe justice of Demociacy,
and I believe In it to-day as much as ever.
And I believe it to he my duty to stand npon
the ramparts of tbe Constitution ; and defend
it from all foes, whether they come from tbe
North, the South, the East, or tbe West
Cheers My fellow Democrats, supposing
there are any such in my hearing, Cries,
"There are," "There are." suppose Breck
inridge had been elected, and Sumner, and
Garrison, and Wendell Phillips and the Abo
litionists of the New England States gene
rally had started a rebellion against tbe
authority of tbe United States, what wonld
have been done ? I wonld have done as 1 am
doing now. 1 would have tried to animate
my countrymen to put them down by force
of arms. Cheers, and cries of "Good "
Now, why not treat Southern rebellion just
as yon wnoli have treated Northern rebellion
Eastern tehellinn as yon would Western
rebellion and wherever rebellion comes
from, put it down forever. Cheers. Tbat
is my doctrine. I have stood upon that
doctrine in olden times, and I will stand by
it now. and if that doctrine goes down I will
go down with it. There were causes of irri
tations between sections I admit. I depre
cated them, and labored long and earnestly
to get rid c.f them. But it was not done.
Those causes of irritation, although tbey
may have suggested to Sonthern States to
request hemming guaranties, they never
just:6ed armed rebellion in aoy shape or
manner.
THR RRRRI.S ARRAIGNED.
It is a base humbug of Davis, Cobb and
Co. to place themselves in power. The elec
tion of a political opponent is never a cause
of Secession or for disturbance ; and if these
Secession leaders had opposed Mr. Lincoln's
election from the time of the Charleston
Convention with balf the pertinacity and
force tbat 1 did, he never would have been
elected. I charge in all my public speeches
thnl they connived at that election ; and the
same has been charged home npon them by
their own people in the South. Their time
had come. It must go, or they would be
ruined. They remind one of little boys who
want to ride a horse. Those in the city get
them a hobby-horse, end they can ride that.
Country hoys get astride of a stick, and ride
that. This knot of Office-seekers, failing to
get a horse to ridn, or even a hobby, have
u,onnted this poor stick of a Southern Con
federacy, and are riding tbau It is just such
ambition as caused the angels in heaven to
rebel. It was not hecause we had not a good
Government, but hecause they could not rule
it. Call them Democrats, or entitled to
sympathy of Democrats, with arms in their
hands against their Government, and their
bands red with the blond of our murdered
citizens! They are enemies of their country ;
they are traitors against the Flag and tbe
Constitution, and as such I arraign them in
tbe name of the Constitution and the Union.
I arraign them in the name of civilization ; I
arraign them in the name of Christianity ; I
arraign them in the name of tbe fathers of
the Revolution, who pourud out their blood
to gaiu the Liberty transmitted to us. 1
arraign them in the name of the soldiers who
marched barefoot to secure our blood-bought
Liberty. I arraign them in the name of the
boly memories of the women of the Revolu
tion, whose pure aod gentle hearts were
crushed and broken. In the Great Day of
Accounts, the savage Brant aod moresuvage
Buller, that deluged the beautiful valley of
the Wyoming with blood, will stand up and
whiten their crimes in comparison wi'.h the
perfidy of the men who now attempt to divide
aod destroy the Union. Ihe lerocious in
stincts of the 8 ivuge taught him tbat he might
be doing a duty to his people ; but these meo
were born in a land of civilization, and bap
tised in tbe name of tbe Trinity, and tbey
should be held to an account for tbe abuse of
the trust which has been coufided to them.
Who are these men in arms against tbe
Government in arms against tbe Union 1
Tbey are men who have been educated at its
expense been laden with its honor been
pampered at its Treosury.
PBACR, BUT NO COMIMtOMISK COERCION.
How can these men be sustained by any
one, with bands dripping with blood Dot
only with the blood of Northern, but of
Southern citizens: and why? Because a
Northern Candidate was elected, who had four
years to serve, whose election they might have
prevented whose election they conoived at,
they will hazard a whole eternity, so far as
temporal existence is concerned, to gratify
preseut personal pique and feed a uiqan
ambition" Whoever sustains them, I will
not. Whoever cries peace, I will not
Whoever cries compromise with them, I will
not. Great cheering I am fur peace, but
1 am for making peace with the loyal citizens
of the bomb the loyal citizens of Kentucky
and of Missouri too, who have sent that
modern Nebuchadnezzar, Claiborne F. Jack
son, to grass. (Great Laughter.! I hey
auk, in repetition, can you coerce a State I
I say no ; you cannot. You might as well
coerce the sun to shine or the stars to twinkle.
Cao you coerce a neighborhood to be honest ?
Isu; but you may punish its criminals. No
one can justify armed rebellion in eppositiou
lo me Lniou ana the Gonstitutiuo or bn
country. But Mr. Liocoln, it is laid, for
sooth, has violated the Constitution in con
ductiug bis Administration! Very well
there is a day of reckouiug to come, with biui
and bit adviseis. But it is oue thing to
violate tbe Constitution in defence of our
country, and quite another to violate it io
endeavoring to subvert it. Wbeo my Dem
ocratic or Republican friends, "or any other
man," are disposed to call the President to
account, and 1 am not bit defender, 1 merely
beg, when tbey gel through with bioi, tbey
will merely iuquire whether Mr. Jefferson
Davit ft Co. have gooa strictly according to
the Cooiutution of tbe United States T
Cheers and Laughter. 1 bave tbe im.
pressioo that iuslitutiug a preteoded Guv-
eroiueot within the boundaries of the United
States ; Ibat stealing treasures of our Got
eminent, its thipt betraying itt commeodt j
nrmg apon at fortiBcaliont ; organising
piracy upon the bigb seas, aod long list of
olner and kiudred acts 1 bava tbe impret
lion, 1 tty, thai these are slight Infringements
npon tba Constitution, and may require
Mainiotboo. (Lsnghter) Bat want to
bave my ConstitotlflfT'irlend, come along
with me, and wbeo they get the Administra
tion all regulated on the constitutional track,
to look at this matter little; for it seems
to me tbat it requires attention. I know not
whether Mr. Lincoln ti observed the Con
stitution Indeed, frft - all the purposes of
resisting the rebellion, I care Dot. It is due
to him to say, however, tbat he has seemed
to be in good faith attempting to pnt dowo
tbe rebellion. He bat not done all things as
I wonld bave done them, because 1 would
have multiplied bis men by about foor, and
when be has struck one blow I would have
struck dozen, (Laashler and cheering)
Therefore I do not agree with him in that
respect. When the dsy comes we can have
a settlement with him, for he is to be held
with all other officers to a strict account.
Bat I would not dd-en that under the
smoke of an enemy's g"ws- Let us see first,
that the rebellion is put down. And alien
tbat is done I am reedy to see bow it has
bneo done. 1 do not purpose to yield this
Union or any part of r! to the so called Con
federate Government thut has been made np
in the Southern States. It is no govern
ment, and there is nothing in the shape of a
government under it, er it, in it, or around
it, diagonally, horizontally, or perpendicu
larly. Like a boy's training, it is all officer?.
(Laughter.) It is mar!" up thus: you shall
he President of the Coogress, and I will be
President of the Confederacy ; yon shall be
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I will be
Secretary of the Treasury. (Laughters
Doubtless, very well ; satisfactory enough.
If tbey had kept it to themselves no one
would have objected to their strutting in their
stolen plumage. But is time for the people
of the United States to put their band upon
It in earnest, and to maintain the Government
and tbe Constitution.

man finds little difficulty io pronouncing it

preseLted to a Judge, and then thn Judge
allows the writ, and I m' prisoner is brought
op, and thn person who holds him is bound to
make a return. If the prisoner is illegally
detained, the Judge orders him to bedischar
ed ; if rightfully imprisoned, be remands him.
That is all there is ubi utjt. It is simply a
civil writ. But there is an old maxim, as old
as Julius ('ncsar would have been had be
lived, infer arma silent Isnes, that is. Him
laws are silent id the midst of arms. Mere'
in the question : An individual is imprisoned
here ; some friend gets a habeas corpus, and
he is brought up, aud th" case is irquired
into. And whoever interferes with, or
obstructs that writ, is guilty of a great moral
and legal wrong, aod incurs a heavy penalty.
In time of war it is a different matter. Here
it is found that a man is fixing lo blow up a
fortress, or betray an army to the ejiemy.
The officer io comr"'s,j him arrested, bdH
sends him tu a fort, with orders that he be
strongly guarded, because he is known to bu
a traitor, and in lha confidence of traitors and
enemies. A lawyer sues out a writ of habeas
corpus. But what is the result ? It cannot
be served and the prisoner cannot he procur.
ed they cannot see him unless the judge's
tongue is longer than the Boldier's bayonet.

treason and traitors at every step, would he j
because a jadge sent i
l a writ of habeas corpus I
give up a traitor who was endangering the
safety of bis command and the interests of
the country? Cries of "Never."' No man
can pretend it for a single moment, it is one
of tbe terrible necessities of war. Aud if 1
were in command and had good reason to
believe tbat I had possession of a traitor, and
no olher remedy would arrest treachery, I
would suspend tbe writ, end tho individual
too. Cheers aod cries of "Good," "Thut
goes right to tbe spot," "Thut is sound,"
"Tbat is such Democracy as 1 like to seel.

Sound." "That' the talk," 4c And
wheu tbern is noue, il is oor duty tu maintain
it, for politically, geographically, socially, aud
commercially il is oue in every sense il is
utterly impossible lor this Government to be
divided without its utter destruction to both
sections. When you attempt to divide
North and South, yon must do it io East and
West. Then all will go to pieces, ami our
country will be a Mexico worse than Mexi
co, because we bave ten times more inulenul
for mifcbiof aod destruction. A military
despotism will be inaugurated whenever you
permit this rebellion to triumph.
HOW TO MARK PEACH.
But soma cry we are iu favor of peace
Yes, we are all for peace now. I was for ne
gotiating a peace until a fortification was fired
upon by rebel artillery, and then I bade adieu
lo all expectations of peace uutil conquered
over rebellion. I say there is no peuce until
yoo put down rebellion by force of arms; and
when every other uiao, woman, aod child iu
the United States bus acknowledged the inde
pendence of the revolted Slate, to those
with arms lo their bands 1 will still talk for
my own gratification wbeo no others will bear
me. Langhier, and cries of "good."' We
must stand by tbe Union. Fellow citizens,
tbe language of Andrew Jackson was, "The
Union must and shall be preserved." Wbut
cold Andrew Jackson have done bad be been
at tbe belm today? lie would have bung
the traitors higher than Haitian Yon may
make peace with ibe loyal meo of the South,
and there is tba place to make it. But how
will you doit with rebellion ? Go with aa
agreement io one hand aod a revolver io lbs
other, and ask tbe Confederacy to take its
choice. Jf there is any yoo can deal witb, it
is the loyal citizens of the South those tbat
are persecoted (or tbe sake ol tbeir uovero
went those tbat love their uonstitutioo, and
are willing to die io ill defense, wban they
art rsttortd W po"ei by eocjoericg rebellion.
All should strive together for this good end
men should bare their breasts in battle, wo
en the name of heaven that the blessings of
the Union should relurn, and children lift op
their little hands to corce this rebellion as a
ferocious monster that has come hither to tor
ment them before theit time, end dim with
blood and tears the lustre of their bright

HOW TUB GOVERNMENT IS TO UK SAVED.
I know there are some who fear the warlike
power of the rebellious States. They bud a
great deal of power for good ; hut they have
a great deal less than they imagine, or is
imagined, for evil. We are a good deal slow
er in waking up, but when we wake up we are
a good deol more in eornest. The tonn of the
Rebel pres is exceedingly braggart in regard
to its men and its victories. Il reminds me,
when I hear of their Self lauded prowess, of
the showman who spoke of the great ca parities
ot the animal he was exhibiting : "Louies and
gentlemen," said he, "this is the Bengal tiger,
measuring fourteen feet from the tip of bis
noso to the tip of his tail, otid fourteen feet
more from tbe tip nf hi tail back to the tip
of his nose, making in all twenty-eight feet."
Liuilihter Now, I think their estimates of
their forces and their capacity nre just about
"8 ""HrHI "o vney are u. tie louneo ai ac
cord
ingly. Nevertheless, they have great el
omenta of mischief. And if Satan himself
h'"1 hp"n s"rit ,,n "nrtb t0 p,"rf" mankind,
otid tn cover thn land with desolation, he
Could
not have performed his miseion more
successfully than by assuming the shape of a

"Sound." Now, I have a clear and well
defined, and distinct theory, of what 1 would
do with this matter to attain a peace, I do
not know thnt this Government ever can be
brought back to where it was before; in the
enjoyment of nil its relations ; but 1 believe
I il can be. I n population wave sncceeds wave
in generations as warn succeeds wave upon
ine oceue, and the men ol to dny pass awuy
to-miurow. I believe it can be brought back,
but not by fostering rebellion ; but it is by
treating it as treason, robbery and murder.
And, if this Government ever can be saved, it
must be by a summary chastisement and over
throw of rebellion, so that the loyal people if
the Southern States can come forward and
administer the government of those States as
before. W ho is the missionary thai is going
with li's peace propositions? What is he go
ing lo Say? lint wiii lie say to tins party
in rebellion? It is a prelty thing to talk
shout and for the designing to dupe the North
with ; it it a very aakwjrd tl.iog to reduce tn
practice. If you drive nut rebellion, you will
have a loyal people South as well as North.
Then tbey will nil do what Virginia, and M is
son ri, and Maryland are trying to do, and
whnt Delaware are doing. Are there any
men hero who, want this Union divided ?
f"No."l Then do not sympathise with trea
Bon nnv f,,'m P'oder. number person or
ca,KP '"""J' " 1,8 ""'incaiions. n nnt it HK
a ferocious minister wherever you find it. Is
here any onn who viishes this matter let alone
to perfect the rebellion, so causelessly com
menced ?
"Who w nld be a trnitot knave ?
Who would fall a wind's grave ?
Who so tm.e us he a stave !
Let him lurn and rice.
Who for Tnion and f i Law
Freed' 'in', sword will strongly draw,
Fiecnien stand or freemen full,
Let him folkiw me."
And that is, fight for the Union, the whole
Union, and nothing but the Union. Let ev
ery American citizen, instead of crying peace,
pence, nheD tnere is no peace, rally upon the
ramparts until secession is silenced; until
thn ioar of artillery has ceased. Then we
shall hatie peace, enduring, perpetual peace,
and as monsters are seldom born 0 the same
generation, we shall huve no more of this se
cession in the present century or the next.
I bis Government is the Government ol tbe
American people. It is ours to use, ours to

All we have to do is to husk iu the sunshine

God will set a mark upon him, too ; but il
will be like the mark set upon the first mur
derer of innti for that wus set for safety
but tbis will be set for destruction And God
grant that It may bit so. ('Amen.") It will
be time euough tn struggle over who shall
administer the Government when we are sure
we have one to administer. He who is not
for it is against. 1 bave determined to fight

prosperity shall again greet us, then let us see if
any part of any State is oppressed, if any in

their rights, see tbat equal aud exact justice
is extended to all. This is a great crisis, not
only in our affairs of human liberty. The

The Slaughter of tho Blaok Horse
Cavalry.
M r. Charles Ferrand, of Lansing, a member
of the First Michigan Regiment, gives the
following account of the charge of tbe Black
Horse Cavalry at Bull Ruo, which is by fur
the most graphic, and evidently correct one
yet published ;
Rickett's battery of eight guns was sta
tioned on the right of our division, aod was
taken by the Rebels. A portion of all three
or the regiments, without any orders, rushed
promiscuously to retake the battery, which
was done. Here was some hand to hand
fighting. The horses were all killed or had
run away, and we could not take off the
guns, till the Rebels rallied with an increased
force, and, after spiking the guns, we fell
back to oar former position. Facing again
to tbe Rebels, I saw tbern falling back,
trying to draw away a goo into which 1 bad
myself driven a spike, hut ere tbey had got
it many rods onr bullets bad made such havoc
that they abandoned it.
In a few moments I saw two rebels advan
cing to the gun one with a rifle, end one
with a Rag, which be was in the act of
planting by the gun. The man standing Dexl
to me and tbe rebel rifleman drew upou each
other, and bitta fell at Ihe same moment,
killed, as ! believe, by each other. At the
same time I took deliberate vim at tbe flag
bearer, and he fell as I Gred.
By the time I had reloaded, another rebel
was seizing the flag, and be, too, fell as I
fired. Two more fell at this point in asimi
lar manner as fast as I could load. I was
some fifteen rods distant, and nearer the
gun than most of my comrades, though in
other parts of tbe line others were in ad
vance. At this moment, the Black ITrjrse Cavalry
made its appearance obliquely from the right;
all the while the masked battery, aa well as
infantry, was pouring upon us a fearful fire
of shot, shells, canister, 4c As the cavalry
appeared COO strong, npon tbe full gallop,
carbine in hand, onr firing for the moment
mostly censed, ouch man reserving his charge
to receive them with suitable honors.
The horses of tbe cavalry were all black or
gray. Their front showed a line of about
ten rods. Our fire was reserved until tbe
left of their front was within five or six rods
of onr right, when we poured a continuous
volley at them, killing most of the horses in
front. As they fell, pitching their riders to
the ground, those following fell over them,
and from onr bullets, and in five minutes we
had sent them probably four thousand pills,
and they lay piled upon each other a man
gled, kicking, struggling, dying mass of men
and horses a sight of horror tn which no
description could do justice. Oor aim was
mostly at the horses, and I donbt not many
morn of thn men were killed by tlie horses
than by our hnllets.
The story that all this fighting was done
hy the Zouaves is false. The three regiments
were mingled together, and all fougnt equally
well. I bere speak what I know, for 1 was
directly in front of the cavalry, and nearly io
the centre. 1 1 was the geiieralnoiiiinri that
not over half a dozen of the cavalry escaped
alive, though there mav have tieen more.

Rebel Killed by a Lady.
A Union man by the name of Glover,
residing ir one of Ihe counties west of this
: city, owning a number ef valuable horses, aud
hr.ving ronson tn fear their appropriation to
i Rebel uses, concluded to place them iu the
bunds of a company of Home Guards in tbe
m iglitiorliomi lor sain Keeping. A day or
two afterwards, while Glover was absent from
home, a Rebel called at bis houae to iuquire
for him. Mrs. Glover was in the garden
adjoining a curufield, some distance from the
bouse, when a Rebel approached her and
made several inquiries, to which she gave no
very satisfactory Btiswers. He then iusisted
on being informed where Glover was, and,
with revolver in beoi threatened instant,
death if not told. He ulso at the same time
demanded her (o deliver up a valuable guu
owned by Glover.
The two started for the house through the
cornfield, and on the way Mrs. Glover suc
ceeded, without being observed, in gpttiog
possession of a large coro kuit'e that had beeu
left in tbu Geld, and, wutcbir.g the opportuni
ty, took a favorable mom'-nt for striking a
blow which she did most orTectuully, the ktufe,
severing the skull aod killing the Rebel
in-tuntly. Mrs. Glover had a small child
witb her io tbe garden which she left when
starting for the bouse, intending to return
for it immediately Having dispatched the
Rebel, she returned to tho gard n, when she
discovered several other Rebels iu ambush a
short distance from ber. Sim look her child,
and, boiog yet nnp uceived by them, sought
a place of concealment until they retired.
Mr. Glover immediately made arrangements
to leave .Missouri, and arrived in .Stone's
Prairie, io the soulhust putt of this county.

really better Union nieu tbau their opponents
aod by this game of deception gut mauy more
