A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEYOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION. LITKRATURK AND MORALS. SPEECH OF HON. JOHN CESSSI. § ?IlTerpd i P bilai e 1 ph U, Sotartaj Sept. 1564, [Comsfaatd frctr. lent nrr't.] The raagraitade of oar national debt and iw con stant ineretse are used by oar enemies to eaetsur att- tne rebellion. This has been a cause of a !am to many sincere patriots. It is. however, oftener used by our secret enemies in order to dis hearten the people, and induce them to abandon the struggle and consent to an effeminate peace. This debt has been variously estimated and stated by different }>ersons. It is now official!v declared to be less thac two thousand milhons of dollars, and no weß informed man calculates the increase at a larger srm than one thousand millions per year, u A sufficient answer to this cause of nneasi ncs-" and alarm ought to be that figures cannot estimate the worth of oar Union. Its value is be rond all price. To the patriot this answer would be -sr*-i. • ctdry. Mi wt tin-! mi swirer for the nan .-f dollars and ents—even for hiru who workups only the ""alnnghty dollar, or him who lias grown rich under the fostering care of the government, and is now too m:>aa uv pay his taxes for its support. The first Pi ate war lasted durific s peric-d of twenty-four year: the second kst-jd eighteen years. Hie Peloponnesian war lasted twenty-seven year*. One of the I reruian wars lasted thirty years, and that against Luais XIV. lasted taghteen years.— At the end of the Penin* ilar war the debt of England was about five thousand millions of dol lars. It Ls now a little leas than four thousand millions The United rfuttes can pay five time? the del® of England in less time than England can |ay her owr. Ilcr last war loan {for the Peninsular war! was sok! a* fifty-three rents on the dollar, payable in depredated jWpgC. Xot a sin boni of the U sited Stages is bciow par, and near ly all command a premium. The inexmse of our Treasury for the last year, in the very us id*: of oar war, was nearly three hnndred niiliions of dol lars. The increase in the value of our real and personal property from IMO to ISoO was sixty lour percent: froa 1 s,>' •to 1 *<>,) it was one liiui drcd and twenty-seven per cent. V\ e havf hardly cctwrncenced to worit our gold mines, as wet! as *ll of our other unequalled mineral wealth. The in crease in the value of coal from litso to IN'-d was one hundred and seventy per cent. The iacouic oi our productive labor for 11*60 was nearly two thousand laiiiions of dollars. V> e have rich pub lic lands, ?nd almost efitnigb of these aluae tj pay our whole del® at the end of the war, at one dol lar per acre. The war has aot retarded but rath er quickened the spirit of immigration. This, ad ded to our natural iiKTca.se, wilt soon settle these lands and jxmr countless ailhoas into our Treasu ry. We have more than thirty thousand Bales of railroad finished, at a cost of one thousand two hundred millions of dollars. FHty thou;and ves sels of the republic whiten every ocean, sail over our inland sea-, or navigate the streams flowing within oar own borders, The increase hi the tou n age on oar western wsters in eight years was three hundred atA twenty jtr cent. Our exports of grain in A single year huv reached five hundred miUioss of doDars. Acrieulture gave the uati'<n in ltSfiU Hxteon handed rii'ilwms of d'oliars, and the fertile loads of our nation, when v. r ell cultivated, can multiply this an hundre d fold. Our territory i* nearly as large as qji Eurojx-. with it* forty dil i'crexs*. empires. Uur intrca.*esince J TyD ha- been iix tiforg greater than England, nine tunes rreat | or than Austria, ami ten times greater tlmn France. Our soil is a> rich as tlieiTß- and cat-able <-t su— taiaing as dense a population. When we equal France in jirotx'rtkmate pojiulatton we wi'i have five hundred millions. V\ hen we equal England we will have *eve hundred and fifty millions. — We have the whole temperate zone of the earth. The mineral productions, iron. kad. DC cop per. silver and gold are irjfixhau-tible. Arizona ha goii ecoueh to pay uui debt ; California can !'ur ; nish a '-imilating rued tain for our own people, and the other territories can supply all the othei nations of the earth. Old Penas.vivani can fur nish ail the coal that may be required to drive til the, machinery of the world until the milk-mum : and if Providence in his anger should obscure the sun. our oil wells would light the earth ior tec thousand years. The burden of cur debt wi 1 sii i but lightly ujxin a nation whose home is ? eoliti | aent. whose climate embraces the products of ev ; cry land, and whose people by their industry, tlirift and skill, inultiply an hundred fold, and whose population grow- with a rapidity whidfc ha* no parallel in history. Ii is not means nor i money, aor resources that we need. The:e is ec ! human jxwer that tan arrest our progress and de j velopetueni. When the war is ended in triumph, i our country will take such a position in population wealth and vigor as will make-the debt appear s small that we all will smile at the fours which OIK* so overclouded our vision. Some no doubt will b slt>w to credit these hopes of our increase evet when founded ujxm the rock of past experience nor is it all fair to presume that the arts and ad ence- have been exhausted. Other discoveries am inventions trill no doubt, add to onr wealth anc prosix-rity. We may not Ix aide to forsee them but. they will come. l r ears ago men could not realize the improve meat which would on.: day result from the use steam power, the railroad and the telegraph. Tirut wan when mules and camels were used as the most rapid means of conveying intelligence. "If an an amamrensi- c all now forsake the- tomb and staisd in the presence of a printing press, and set tlti iv thousand copies of a paper struck off in at hour; if a teamster of Ki&g Solomon or a rafts man of Hiram could witness aa engineer upon hi enjjirie moving a hundred tons burtlea at the rat* of 31 mile in three minutes, and if a mule-driver o Ahasueru* could enter a telegraph office and m messages, or from the Atlantic to the Pacific in at instant, they would either disbelieve their owr senses or imagine that' the gods had eotoe dovri to n* in tbe likeness of men. We need resolution, tenness, per-cveresee, de votion to dnty and to country. " The ITomans with Hannibal at thei? gates, and the finest poifia of Italy subject to his -way, preserved a high an' uucoiKjue)able spirit, which would listen to w terms that might tarnhh the honor reduce th weight and power of their country; and the rc-nl was the speedy and Dotal overthrow of Carthage. ; Let it not be said of the American people in afte 1 pme>- rif? a in their vigorous manhood, with tb BEIOFOKD.

From the vrea ;-u of uma to the. present time his destiny has been onward arid uj-ward- il nan progress may be slow, but it never can recede.

Through ail i be—e ages and through all these changes I lis hand I ] .as been distinctly visible. He is not yet done f jacilesting His purpose by His moving in the i j ffvirs of men. He watched over our infancy, and s i jotected and us far beyond tbe ot her - tit ions of the earth. We have not yet f ulii-leo - te high destiny which he has marked out for Us t taring the children of' men. Centuries ago he*e i j icted this continent as the garden of the earth for - to lmure developmeat of the race, sifted all the I ♦utioeuts of the old world for the best seed to - pint it. an l reserve it as a glorious heritage for - k chosen people. - It has been carefully tided e fcia that time to the present, and is now just be i fining to show acapaciiy for a full return, t i will not aoinioii ti nor. fit country ha* t m yet fulfilled its great destiny among the na a on- of tlie earth. He will mne the arms and ateel t b teart *of oar patriot hosts to do and dare riS t trit may be required for the preservation of the - Lion. Every man of them has been taught to e ftl ami say, I tight for BJ> criuatty—the country L uicb rimri: y ovc, my courage, my devotion. ~ ii' hearts fn. ud- —my ooujitrv- s past renown, its = p-.-cui pride and power—its future hope and dea- i tiny—its greatness, dory, truth, wnstiutioual lib ertv and freedom forever. . llicse are mv watch wivnl*. and I fight not for honor in a distant tend kit for couiitty, homo, law, c-'vermaerit- Constirution. freedom, right, human ity. and in the hope that the banner of ravconntry may continually advance, and wbere-ocver that banrrr may wave there efory may pursue aud , freedom be established. For the fake cf ail these he will ex -lame with the Irish patriot Eianset "I j : wiß dispute every inch of ground: I will born er- j i ery blade of era-*: and the last intrenchtaen* of ? i freedom shall be my grave." ] • It lias btsen said, and it is most sincerely believ- ] j ed. that we car have no permanent jieace until j i the iniiitary power of the rebellion shall have been j -undued. True, sacriacss bave been nmde, and i | many more will yet be offered up. But less blood j will be required by this than by any other method | that can be *urge-ted. Permanent- separation I j is never-ending war. We mu-t stand by oar country right or WT wss j awl come what may the starry banner must ever j wave from the St Lawrance to the Gulf of Mexi- j ! co and from the Atlantic to the Da' iae ocean, and j better far that desolation should spread from the | Potomac to the Golf, than that one star should j be blotted from that flag or one stripe torn torn i its azure fokL Better that every full-grown man ! now living, both north aud south, should become j a martyr to this gforions cause of our Union aud tit" government be left in the hand* of the women -i i children of America for posterity and for mankin d than that one -ingle foot of territory. : subject to the jx*t jurisdiction of the government of the United States, should be fordbly vr rested from her power and control, or than that the doc trine of secession should be estafefished. "If | our republic must die, if the sun of liberty must go out in endless night, let it -.-t amid the roar of i cannon and tbe din of battle, when there shall.be j no 1 -nger aa arm to strike or a heart to bleed in in its cause, so that eouiing generation* may not reproach the present with being too imttocii* to preserve tbe priceless legacy bequeathed by our fathers, so a- to transMit it unimpairei to future times."

Our dissolution would put back the deck of the world for geaaratious and centu ries. It will be for us to determine whether we -bail go on to fulfil the de-tinv which Providence -eemsto have trifled out for a*, or permit the hopes of humanity to be blasted aud freedom to be buried in eternal night. But onr republic must not die- Tbe nation will hare virtue and parrfotfoxo enough to pro- :eate the war until every traitor in the land shall iay down ais arm- and return to his allegiance, or shall be drives from the soil which he desecrates or be deeply buried K-tic-atii it.
