I have come to talk freely to you about the dangers of the country. Little minds ascribe little objects to those whose •iowe they do not agree with, and be haeliattained an un *l...enviable reputation whose friends say "you mean him," when I am speaking of treach ery and showing the evil consequences of 'a certain line of policy. I have no personal attacks to make on an enemy,eveti if I have one. God knows if I could, with my own hands, I would gladly place a crown of Wily' perishable honor on the brow of my moat bitter foe, if I could thereby rescue my country from the perils that environ it ! I Applause ] But if I have an enemy, and a vindictive spit it, and desired him to be come forever infamous, I could ask no more of him than that he should support the hell hilt schemes of these who are now seeking to subvert the Constitution and destroy our liberty. Ile is digging a grave (Or himself which posterity will never water with a tear. Let him alone. I have come to dis cus. the present phase of the revolution. We have had a war which Caged furious, ly for four years. It originated simply in a difference of opinion as to our rights un der the Constitution. This difference exist ed front the Ant! It existed among the fra mers of the Constitution. It could not be settled by argument, and an appeal was node to the sword. It was an open fight. There was nothing secret or ambiguous in the issue. It was waged by men influenced in the masses by patriotic emotion on both sides , and it was not to destroy the Consti lion, but to assert on each side their differ ent views. On our side it was asserted that the States were separate and independent sovereignties, and that the Constitution was a compact, which each party was at liberty to dissolve at will, and Co we seceded and declared ourselves out of the Union. On the other hand, It was contended that we were not out of the Union, notwithstanding our secession acts; and that the Constitu tion was not a oompsot, but a binding law upon the States resulting from a compact, and there ere no one of the number could dissolve the connection at will, upon this issue we went to war. newer was fought till we laid down our arms and agreed to what our enemies said—that we were in the Union. But there in now another question to . - tle It is still within the range of argu• runt. Its proportions are huge. The is not"' are startling. It Is not a difference of opinion u to what the Constitution means, and what are our rights under it ; but its object Is plainly, unmistakably, to setaside the Constitution and provide something else. I have never doubted that we were owning to this tomtit,. In speeetrs made by me, five. six, eight, and len years ago, I predicted this, and every page of our histo ry since that time has verified the predic tion. The people of the North honestly love the Constitution, but, the lenders there hole it and intend to destroy itould theonn volition through which we have puled hat,. throwd the opportunity of making the effort into their hands, and the present military bills and the one which is not yet promul gated as law, are the means adopted to ea oinnplish their design. These bills are pro posed Tor oar acceptance. There Is a re_ rurkable feature In these measures, that while force Is employed to execute them , they alto not yet nominally submitted to UP for our acceptance or rejection. I objeotto the whole scheme because Alp unconstitutional, A distinguished man— pardon me, I ought to have aside notorious ' individual, said to me a few days ago, that I ought not to waste my time to prove She oenetitutiosality oteltmesamesarea—• Utlug whioh 'Very man, woman and child la the (toiletry knew—and yet be was for &omit. fog I I. spoke truthfully.

Now, I affirm that these military bills are not only contrary to the Constitution, but directly la the fare of the amnesty oath you were required to take after the surrender. The Gotirrthlent thought proper in accept ing your submission, to take your oath to support the Constitution of the United Star, and the Union of the States Why was that 011th required, if the Caistitution was dead! But it is said the Constitution does not apply to us. Then don't swear. to suppvt it. But it is said again that we are notin the Union. Then why awear to support the Union of these &MeerWhat '.Union" does that meant When you took that oath, waa it thu Umon of But Northern States alone that you ewore to support? What businesa have you with that Union? No it is the Union of all the States known to the Con stitution that you have sworri'm support. But. they say that the oath was prescrib ed by the President, and that he is not loy al. Then I most answer a fool according to his folly, and a traitor according to his treason. What do they requVilwho passed these bills—this military uggernaut They require every man who registers his name tweets, to swear to support the Con stitution, and counsel and persuade others to do so—and still it is said toe Constitu tion has nothing to do with it! They say the scheme is outside of the Constitution, and yet in the process of carrying it out, they require an oath to support the Consti tution and to counsel and persuade others to do so! That is more than Mr. Johnson ever required in the oath which he preacri. bed. It is my business to support the Consti tution, and my duty and pleasure to per suade others to do so. Some of you who faior the acceptance of the military bills take an oath to this afraid, and still intend to vote for a eqnventlon which you admit to be ordered contrary to the Constitution! How is this? If yeu vote for the conven tion you are perjured ! [Tremendous ap plause.] 0! I pithe race of ooloredpeo -1 pie who have nay been taught what an ......t oath is, or what the onstitution means. They are drawn up by a selfish conclave of traitors to indict a death blow upon the life of the Republic by swearing them to a false hood!

They are neither:legally nor morally re sponsible, but it is you—educated design lug white men—who thug devote yourselves to the unholy work—who are the guilty parties ! too prate about your loyalty!

[immense applause j You can't escape it ! You may boast of it now, while passion is rife, but the lime will come when the very thought will wither your soul and make you hide from the face of mankind. I shall discharge the_ obligation of the amnesty cleith. It required me to support the Constitution and the emancipation of the negro, and I do.

And what le your purpose? It must be a great good you seek to induce you to commit so much crime and folly. Sometimes men wink at what is by strict teohnioalities wrong in the individual, to I accomplish some great good to the public. I do not recognize the correctness of such action; but what do you propose by tramp ling upon the Constitution and violating your own solemn oaths? , de it to save the State and preserse liberty? This is not the object, but the purpeessae infamous as the measure resorted taltufeffect it. You first propose to abrogate your State govern ments by authority of the so-called Con gress—a mere conclave of a portion of the members of that body. By whom is this ,iotated ? The principle that whoever orme a government should form it for them selves as well as others, is • correct one ; but the men who propose this for us do no live in any, of the ten States affected by their legislation. It is not made to suit either black or white, or any other class of our people, but to suit themselves, while they are not affected by it, and If you set upon their proposition, in a manner to suit yourselfes, you will not be accepted by them; nay, you violate the Constitution to subvert tik Government. And by carrying out these messures you diefranohise your own people. Suppose we ooncede, for ar gument,nhattit Is right to enfranchise all the nave's; if this be right bj'what prin ciple of law or morikedo we disfraneh lee the white petite? "0, but," you ,say, "the whites have been rebels." Then they should all be diofranohised, and not a part of them. Besides, the goverment you are to frame is to he a civil government, and last for all time, and for peace, when there eau be rebels. lees It stated. that General Sickles has advised that the disfranohleing feature be repealed or modified, and for the reason that the enfranchised class are net fit to fill the offices.

(Applause') The tie green kniw no better; but I would ask them: If these men are faithless Id the Con stitution of the country, how can they be ?faithful to you Yet these men admit in the estrand that they are disregarding the Constitution!

"You know your duty and did it not,"and if you are beaten with ninny stripes, we have the authority of Scripture for saying that your punishment is just; but to see the Africans led off by a olnp-trap which they dont understand, and used he because they don't understand it, and thus led to the slaughter by men who are faith less to every principle—under the belief that they are being elevated and exercising God-given rights, is enough to make any man feel sick at heart and experience the deepest pity for the unfortunate race This is not the first time that such things have been attempted. Unfortunately, ,there have before been bath fools and knaves in the world, and some of you, it would seem, will not learn wisdom from the lessons of the past : If the Constitution is dead, we are outside of it,aud,pray, what government have we? We hove nothing, in that cline, but the will of an unlawful conclave, and don't you know this means only anarchy and then despotism had tyranny 1 What inducement in held out to you to accept their propositions , You say it is to get beck into the Union ! and for this you,7pre will ing to submit to diefrauchisement and the inauguration of a policy that tends to a war of races ! all to get:batik into the Union just where you are already, and always were!

Who ever thinks this war upon the Constitution will Stop with the ten States is it madman' or a simpleton to be pitied, or a knave to ho despised. I have expeoted them to take charge of Connecticut because she dared to elect a Governor that did not agree with the Radicol party , and sure enough, Sumner in a late letter strikes that key note Ile nays a similar bill for ell the Staten is a cut short to universal suffrage The so called Congress immediately on its meeting took ohorge of Kentucky and excluded her whole delegation with one exception If they can iejeot these, they can rejict every one who differe with them, and they will do so ; and they will receive only those who will agree with them.

General Pope seems to be a gentleman, and I infinitely prefer his / fee to the rule of such men as you will Ig:run der this scheme Besides, the new govern ment. inaugurated, wilfhot be able to live a day without military protection It it better to be governed by power than by trench cry • Perhaps you will think I have overdrawn the picture of the fearful consequenoevf . accepting this scheme I recollect an in cident which occurred over six years ago, when I was urging the people of Georgia not to secede, because the country 'Muhl thereby fall into the bands of Radicals, and predicted war and its attendant sufferings as the result—though then deemed vision ary I would he almost ashamed now to read my remarks of that day—my pic ture would be so tame and so far short of the dreadful reality that has followed. A very prominent gentleman replied to me, urging that there would be no war, and to prove it, he read an article front llorsce Oreely's Tribune, and old Ben. Wade's speech declaring the South had a right to secede,and if she chose to exercise that right they should be allowed to do so in peace. Ile then said that Greeley and Wade were bet ter friendeoftheSouth than 1, who was here, for I woe trying to frighten the Southern people out of the exercise of a right which they conceded, and they were repreeentp lim men of their party. What could I say' in reply 1 I could only tell him—that these men only desired to encourage the South to ttillunion for their wicked purpose to destroy the Constitution ; and that a great government could not be dissolved without blood : and what have Greeley and Wade done sine., that tithe! And now advise you to reject this scheme of force, fraud and deceit which Congress has de vised. If you, of your own free w ill submit to it, you will see the consequences of It. I advise you to register. There in no dishonor in that It is arming yourself with an important 'power to be wielded against the nefarious scheme,but don't vote (or a Convention—don't go for anything whatever which is an assent to the scheme, but be against it at every step. Never go half way with a traitor, nor compromise with tressou or robbery. If they hold a convention, vote against irtifiestion--vote aganiet all their measures sod men, and in diet every one who, under snob void author ity, invades your rights according to exist ing State laws That's my policy. Fight ihie scheme all the time. I have no bore idea of obeying than Mr. John Hampden had of paying ship-money, because I have taken an oath to support the Constitution, and I intend to keep it. This whole scheme is ip violation of all the issues of the war—all the promisee du ring its progress—and all the terms of sur render. More than a hundred thousand men abandoned Lee's army because they were smeared that if they laid down their, arms they would be in the Union with all their rights as before I knewthe promise was false, and warned you against the se dilation of the Syron. The pontle—thAre diers of the United States—were Len will ing to fulfill the obligation ; but the poltti clans intended to deceive you Such men as Sumner and Stevens never intended to carry out the pledge of the nation They would acknowledge the independence of the Confederate States to-day before they would epee to remora the old Union, even with slavery abolished. I respect the northern man who honestly fought for the Unton,but I despise the traitors who under the name of the Union. have used the northern peo ple to peetroy the Stuth, and then to des troy the Constitution The people of the North have been long discovering this de ception, but they will be compelled to see it before the traitors can go mush further in their work.
