Millwakee, on ' the evening of the 28th tilt The following is a report of his remarks : Mr. President and Fellow Citizens :—For some six months pant I have been absent from my native land I have been removed from the exciting scones of political strife I have hardly read the political newspapers of my own country, but during theca months I hare had leisure to reflect much upon the situation of our beloved country. From all the reflection and thought %shier I could bring to bear upon it, I have been confirm ed in the belief, which was forced upon me more than two years ago. namely, that the policy which was then proposed by Mr. Lincoln immediately upon the surrender of the armies of the Rebellion, to recognize at once the Staten of the South, to have them restored to all their constitutional rights, and to their representation in the Union, was the only just, the only wise, end only constitutional policy (Applause ) From that time forward I have struggled to carry that policy Intel effect I believed then, and I am now more than ever firm in the opin ion, that if, two years ago, immediately up on the surrender of the armies of the Re bellion, the Stales of the South had been recognized with their constitutional rights and admitted to their repreeentation in the Union, under the policy of Mr. Lincoln, all the difficulties which now surround us, both financial and political, would hare passed away (Applause.) I behove that It, two year ago, that policy had been f drly adopted, the bonds of the Government of the United pistol this day six per cent , would command a premium in gold in every money centre of the world (Applause) I will elate this fact—which' I hope no one present will forget-1 have mot no lutellt gent man in Europe who hos not expressed the same opinion, that if our Slates of the South had been admitted to representation in the Union, thud the whole world could see'that we were one people, one natiou, with all the States repreeented and taking part in our legislation, our six per cent. bonds would not only be at par, but would command a premium in gold. Why not Why should not the Amarioan securities at six per cent command a high premium in gold, when the English three per !mute command ninety.three per cent ttr g olf No earthly ree,sie can betren, except that these Stales are apparently divided and dissevered; that the States of the South are kept nut of the Union by title radical policy I charge this home to the leaders of that par'y The whole respoembility rests upon that radical policy, which, tratu piing the Constitution under its feet, viola, ting their plighted faith and the policy of Mr. Lincoln, the often avowed policy which elected him, refused to allow to ten State,' of the Union all right to representation (Applause.) Fellow citizens, it is not my purpose to detain you for any length of time, I only wish to express in a few 0811 tenors two or three thoughts The great, all absorbing idea which undeelies radical ism, is precisely the entosesplea whtoli on derlaid SeoBo.oo (Applitulerr What is that idea • Let on net deceive ourselves. Ideas rule the w irid What was the lien which led the South into Rebellion • It wan the. The Constitution has no author- ity over the Southern Stales against their will; the) have a right to withdraw from ' the authority of the Constitution at pleas are, and therefore, after the passage of their ordinance of eeeesmon, the Constitu tion wee practically dead in the Stoles of the South The people of the South went to war to enforce thul idea. What did we do* Wo maintained precisely the opposite ides, to wit.—That the Conetitution hos supreme authority over the Stotts of the South as well 08 of the North, and that the Staten of the South should be made to no knowledge the supremacy of the Conetitu lion To maintain that idea we called two millions of men to the fled We poured out our treasure and our blood like water To maintain that Idea we created this debt of three thousand inillions et dollars. To maintain that Idea five hundred 'Moo ned of our none went down to battle and to WI By the blessing of God we were victorious in maintaining that ides of the !supremacy of the C aastitution over the States of the South when we, at length, of ter a long and terrible war of fobr yiars, compelled the South to surrender to that ides ; when we compelled the people or those States who made their appeal to the God of battles to decide the question be tween on, to surrender t Zn controversy ; when the South yielded and4rknowledged the Constitution to be Rupee sad that the Ong of the United States; was the flag to which they owed allegiance; then up rise Thaddeus St , Charles Sumner, Benin mitt Wade, and other radicals of the North to proclaim anew the idea of the secession ists, viz ;the Conetitution le no longer the supreme law of the land in the Slates ofthe South ; that we do not hold the States of the South by constitutional authority ; that we hold them by the sword and the sword ethane ; not under the Constitution. hut out eide.the Constitution, by a piiirtish above the Constitution. That in the idea of radicalism It is not only akin to, but It is identical with the idea of secession. It tt the essence of rebellion against the Constitution of the United Eltitea. Whether it is asserted by Jefferson Davis at the South or by Thaddeus Stevens at the North it is s new rebellion against the Govern. went of the United State' (Applause ) We here by force of arms put down the rebel lion of the Secessionists at the South. We do not expect to be compelled to put dowel this ew rebellion at the North by force of arms (Applauie.) We expeot to put it down by moral power alone,by argument, by reason, by persuasion, as we hare done in Connie- Saul, in California, In Pennsylvania. and Ohio, by lite pedevr of the ballot box.— (Great applause.), Mr. Preslden - t, I will not detain you ivy longer I trust that Amer icans will rise in the majesty of their strength, deed by their moral power, by ealm reason, by earnest and truthful argu ment, and by their votes proelaim again the supretnaor of the Constitution of the United States in the States of the South, not only in spite of the Ilitmessionists in the South, but to spite of the radical anatuhists and revolutionists In the North. ( Greet applause) I one very well eee by the sloe lion returns that a change has oome neer the opirit of the country. When I ems to Racine now, the place where I hive lived for fifteen years, I am not met by an info elated mob who would prevent me from speaking to . the people of my own town (Great applause,,,LA mighty change is be ing wrought. (Cheers and great applause) If I attend o meeting in the neighboring county of Kenosho, to proclaim these doc trines there, in which I belle4e , the very existence of constitutional liberty to us and to our children is involved, there will be no one to interrupt and insult me, to prevent their utterance, or to kuterfere with me in. any manner. (Applause ) Why this (Mange' It is simply the work of tinie Meu are be ginning to reflect, to reason, to think for themselves.

HOW TO 811•TAIN A "'LOCAL PAP/11 —We see the following sensible advice going the rounds of the press, and reproduce it to our readers who may not know howoountry editors elsewhere talk to their patrons: I Lay aside your fears that the editor will get rich faster than his neighbors We have never heard of a man making unieh more than a decent living by the publica tion of a country newspaper, if ho bad ever so good a bit•iness 2 Dn not tell the editor to send you the paper without paying. and when you got to owing two or three dollar., tell your friends that the paper will burst up one of. these days. The way under such a state of the else, to keep a paper from "bursting up," is for each subscriber to keep the editor's books free from charge against himself. The thing of applying the credit system to the newspaper may be likened to a farmer selling out his crop a bushel to a man. The mum each would owe would seem of little account, butlhe aggregate might make or break the farmer 3.
