to make war upon the G-ovenment of
the United States. the,-people of the
North, with one voice and in general
accord declared against this . most
wicked and. monstrous outrage. Men
of all parties, of all sections, from all
localities, went forth to maintain and
`defend the tTnion and the Constitution

and 'entirety of our Government.—
No Conscription. act was neectishry

raise an tci bear aloft the flag of
tha Union against "secessionists and

and extaordinary inducements were
wanted to obtain
. volunieers for the
Army of _ the Reptiblie. But, Mr.
Speaker, "temp.ora mittantur,- nos. et
tnutanzur in Utz's." It is scarcely, three
years that the citizens of the North,
the. Bast, and of the West, singly, in
coMpacies, and in battalions, applied
wil lirigly, urgently, and most patrioti

.
clitnea r of all exceds, of all conditions,
the citizens by birth and the eititens
by adoption, left the peaceful walks
and iricieatiorts of life at thetrat blast
'of the clarion of war.
How is it now 7 Why UN marve

apathy and indifference, this positive
aversion in the minds of men to volun

an'a public:places 'are still in the han"ds
or the 'rebels. The authority of .the
United States, is Still defied and ig

confined to narrow circle, has as

that. “inter arnia leges silent" —the

Now, whether this is considered as a

the secessionists are rebels in arms or

be silent in the peaceful northern and
