The government of the United States has no more right to interfere with the institu tion of slavery in South Carolina than it has to interfere with the peculiar institution of Rhode Island, whose benefits I have enjoyed to day But, my friends, during the last sum •mer, when the great political contest was raging throughout the land—then it was that designing and dishonest men, for the purpose of accomplishing their own se'fish schemes, appealed to the prejudices of the Southern people, denouncing those who supported Mr. Lincoln as abolitionists—as men who would disregard the constitutional rights of t h e South, and transcend the powers of the gov ernment. Excited by these iniquitius ap peals, they were ready to take arms to pre vent the inauguration of that President whom a majority of the people had declared to be the man of their choice. My friends, I have known the President long .and well. It has been my fortune to bv selected as one of his constitutional auvisers. I have bad the honor of being connected with this administration since its commencement, and I tell you to-night that you cannot find iu S. Carolina a man more anxious religiously and scrupulously to observe all the features of the Constitution relating to slavery, than Abraham Lincoln. Had the people of the South ben willing to wait and see whether he would regard ihat oath which in the pres ence of the assembled nation he bad taken, they would have found that no administra tiun ever organized in this country would have more conscientiously regarded and pro tected the rights of the South, than this ad ministration would have done. I know that I speak the sentiments of the President and his advisers—of those who havo controlled his administration. But these peon'e, however, were not will ing to wait until this lest could be applied, and no sooner was this President inaugura ted than the tocsin of war was sounded thro' every Southern State, and the armed strength ol the people was summoned to drag down the administra'ion—to undermiue the foun datior ol the government, and to crush in ruin ibis fair tabric ol republican institu tion-. What, 1 ask you. could the adminis tration have done? One niter another of the forts of the United S'ates had been taken ; one after another had the possessions of the government been seized ; State after State had renounced its allegiance to the federal Union ; in S ! ate after State the glorious flag of the nation had been trampled iu the dust, and to its place had been lifted the emblem of the pirate and the traitor. What was the duty of the administration in this emergen cy ? Should we stand by and see one at'ter another the pillars of our great fabric disrup ted and broken, or should wo appeal to the patriotism of the American people to sustain the institutions of their fathers? If .Mr. Lincoln had not pursued the course which he has, would he not have been unworthy of the confideocb that has been so generous'y piac ed in him ? He has adopted this course, and he has appealed to you, the people of the States, to rally around the standard of our country and teach the world that republican ism still lives upon this continent. My friends, we make no war upon Southern institutions. We recognize the right of South Carolina and Georgia to hold slaves if they desire them. Bur, my friends, we appeal to you to uphold the gieat banner of our glori ous country, ar.d to leave the people of that country to settle these domestic matters ac cording to their own choice and the exigen o cies which the times may present. * # # # # * * But, my friends, with all these sacrifices you have not done enough. Your country demands from ysu more sacrifices. With overwhelming force the enemy is upon us.— Perhaps while I am speakiDg, he is thunder ing at the gates of your capital. If they gain possession of that,'hey think they will destroy your nationality. I trust the patriotic men of Rhode Island are not satisfied with the effrnts they have made. Requisitions have been received fruin the War Department for more troops. Let them be ready. If they could start this very hour they would not be one hour too soon. For I teli you your country requires them at this very moment. * * * * * * * Let New England rally promptly and ear nestly, and I tell you rebellion will be crush ed to the earth, and the stars and stripes will be raised over a united country. Then we shall have peace. Peace will spread her benign influence over this land, and happi ness restored, business revived, and the bless ings of a free government enjoyed. I da not invoke to you to engage in this war as a war against slavery. We are war ring for a different principle. But there is an old adage brought down to us from the ancients : " That whom the Gods would de stroy, they must first madden." They are afflicted by that madness which for their wickedness God's providence has brought upon them. And what will do more to crush out the institution of slavery than would been done by the peaceful administration of the Government in ten centuries. If that should be the consequence, I have no tears to shed. To the future and to Providence I leave the issues of this great question. It is not the province of the government of the United States to enter into a crusade against the institution of slavery. I would proclaim to the people of all the States of this Union the right to manage their institu tions in their own way, 1 know that my fellow citizens will recog nize that as one fundamental principle upon which we commenced this contest. Let us not give our opporente any reason to com plain of us in this respeet. Let us not bring to bear upon them the power of despotism, but the power of the people of a republican government where they rule. Let us bring it to bear upon them so that the traitors shall receive such a condign punishment as welt as the world may see the fate which a free 1 people visits upon traitors. No spectacle would afford us so much satisfaction as to see dangling from the gallows the bodies of Jefferson Davis and John 15. Floyd, Henry A. Wise and all those men who have involv ed this country in the greatest affliction which can oveitake any people. Why, is it that we have been compelled to send to Europe for arms, while the rebels meet us with arms, the best the country can supply ? The traitor John B. Floyd, during all the time he was in the cabinet, while you were reposing in con fidence that the government would be fair'y administered, was robbing you of your por tion of the public arras, and sending thsta to the trailers. Jeff Divis. while a member of the Senate of the United Slates, making the laws for the people of Rhode Island, and c n vassing the rolls of the army, designated the men who were to head the armies of tho re bellion. Men of Rhode Island put cn your armor, nod rush to the capital to defend it. It is this hour in danger, menaced by an overpow ering force. Prompt as you may be, you may be too late; you have not a moment to lose If you love ycur country and the institutions under which you have prospered and the liberty which has made you the admiration of the world, come forward at this moment and show your devotion to it by making sac iiices necessary to maintain it. The War and Slavery, The war hasdisorganized not only business hut. politics, A revolution has taken plaee, not in the administration or Constitution of the country, but in the sentiments of the people on public affairs, and in the relative strength of patties. The masses are united in unrelenting hostility to the introduction of violence as a means of obtaining power and position, and they have reconsidered their opinions as to the merits of that interest which was the first to resort to violence— Anti-slavery counts its converts by thous ands, and not the least zealous of these are the many Democrats who have for years un der-estimated the evils of slavery and over estimated their constitutional obligations to it. It betr.De to he seen that in its effect on individuals it is pernicious ; that if, in a state of bondage, slaves are civil zed it is at the expense of their masters, who are bar barized by the process ; that as a system of labor it is, in many of the states where it prevails, wasteful, de-t-ucriye, unprofitable); ani that as an element of political power, it is restive, overbearing, and unjust. Irs his tory is fuli of horrors. It kept South Caro lina and other states in a state of craven sub mission to.Brita'n during the li-voiiiriou ; ii interposed, after the Revolution, tho most serious of tho difficulties which arose in per fecting cur Union ; it h is claimed for itself recognilon and privileges which no other in t < rest in the country has dared to aspire to, and it has finally assaulted, with deadly in tent, the government and the Constitution itself. The chief weapon of slavery, for many year , has been terror. It has threatened war, bloodshed, violence, devastation, a dis olution of the Union, if its claims were not conceded. But the sting has been, or will he taken from its menaces when their weakness is proved. If the Union cannot be disolved, if war will not extort from us what we refuse to persuasion, and the claims of slavery, on its own merits, cannot enlist our sympathies nor command our votes, what is its condi tion ? It is the jackass stripped of its lion's skin ; it is the whipped bully cf the ring, wliute defeat is more humiliating in propor tion as his brag was noisy and ferocious.— The Constiution re-established over the re volted states, in its own name and not under ct lor of war against slavery, is nevertheless fata! to slavery as a political power, because the only strength ol that institution as a po litical power, apart from the right of repre sentation as a political power, apart from the right of representation yielded to it in the Constitution, was in its 6UDposed capacity to .break up our Union and forever destroy our peace, if its clamors, freshly renewed every day for further favors, were not acceded to. Traitors in Office. With Buch an exhibition as the following o'f persons holding office at Washington, there can be no wonder that the southern traitors were advised of every important movement going on : .Known Secessionists.

From the Albany Evening Journal. Is it a Real or Mimic War ? Senator Breckinridge, who as is alleged and believid, was concerned in a conspiracy to seize tho capital, in February, and become the head of a provisional government, after doing what mischief he could at Washington attempted to execute the people of Baltimore to a renewal of violence. And this was per• inted! The presence of five or six regi ments is required to preserve the peace of Baltimore. And yet a known and avowed enemy, in time of war, is allowed to go there and in a public harangue endeavor to stir up rebellion! Popular sentiments, fortunately, was di vided, and a few Union mon were enabled to drown the voice of the traitor. But why was he not arrested ? Where and wheD, in the history of rebellions, where arch-traitors thus tolerated ? llcw many noblemen have been hurried " to the tower" for offenses venal compared with those of Breckinridge ? How long would Louis Napoleon have reigned if he bad dealt thus tenderly with his enemies ? What would be the fate of Senator Wilson if he should attempt to address a secession audience, or even venture into secession territory? '' A halter, and the first tree I" Indeed Uniuu citizens of secession Hates are hung, or hunted away from their burning mansions and confiscated estates. But here the order of things is reversed.— We have been forced into an unnatural war, all the horrors of which fall upon loyal citi zens, without provoking retaliatign. Rapa city and ferocity—fire and rapine—the jail and the gibbet, distinguishing one side, while magnanimity and forbearance characterize the other ! The skulking miscreants around Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, &e., &c,, who shoot our sentinels, when brought in as prisoners are released on taking the oath of allegiance! Hissing traitors who keep the enemy informed of all our movements, reside uumo'ested, in Washington; and until very recently, if not now, occupy desks, in some of tho departments, receiving pay from the government for betraying its secrets! It is neediess to say that this ill judged and ill deserved forbearance emboldens trai tors and disheartens loyal eitizens. But it may not ho unprofitable to say—and we say it with emphasis— that this condition of things is unendurable, and will not be endured. This turning of ihe other cheek to the smiter must cease, Mote then enough for these humil iations were endu-ed before tho war existed. We must now have " an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" —blow for blow, and blood for blood. Actual war, ail the severities of which have been visited upon Union men, has extsted for a third of a year, costing us more than three thousand lives and more than an hundred million d 'liars. The prosecution of the war calls for still greater sacrifices. Meanwhile business is paralized, rroperry depreciated, and labor unrequited. The sufferings and penalties of war must not, therefore, bo all on our side. When such men as Breckin ridge come among u, 6tirring up rebellion, if tho government does not deal with them the people will. The enemy strikes wherever he finds a weak or defenseless point. If a Union visor is up, javelin is thrust by it ; if a seam is found iu our armor, its wearer is pierced.— Privateers, to our great shame and great an noyance, cruise with safety, capturing our commercial cities, We held Fort Sumpter, bat allowed rebels, in reach of its guns, to construct the fortifications aud batteries to which it was surrendered. We hold Fort Pickens, hut in reach of its guns permit the enemy to intrench and fortily. We have a NAVY— a navy which in other wars was not only our mcaDS of defense, our pride and glory, but the tenor of our ene mies. What has that navy done, or what is it doing, with effect, in this war? Has it rendered the blockade efficient? lias it achieved glory or won laurels ? Where, along the extended and exposed coast of re bellion, has the navy made its mark ? Where and in what way has it annoyed and harass ed an enemy who is constantly annoying and harrassing us ? Is it not time, we ask earnestly, that this war should assume all the features and in flict all the penalties of war? Can the gov ernment afford, any longer, to invent mitiga tions or indu'ge sympathies? Lite and spirit must be imparted to the war, and zeal and confidence restored, by a radical reform in this respect. The enemy must be struck at wherever he can be hurt. Exposed places invite attack all along the coast. The Caro linas, Georgia, Florida, &c., either or all of which states have harbors, villages and cot ton fields at our mercy, are not even mena ced ; and, instead of bei'-g required to de fend themselves, they send their regiments to beard us almost in sight ot the capital! We cannot close this desultory but earnest article better tbaD by subjoining the follow ing extract from a letter from an eminent American, just received, and dated— LONDON, July 21- I hope soon to hear of vigorous action in the field, and vigorous action out of it, upon all trai lers. People with whom I converse on these top ios, on both sides of the channel, don't know what to make of us in these respects, and inquire if this business is serious or only boys' play. If the Savannah pirates are not hanged I hope the judge will be. Tbero is mischief brewing here in the way of privateering, and I am anxious that those projecting such enterprises should realize that a fatal result awaits then. God Save our Nation. BY WILLIE HAMMOND. O ! God, save our nation, Keep strong its sacred ties ; Preserve our sacred banner Now floating to the skies, O ! God, stand with our freemen, Who for our country fight ; Give them all strength to oonqucr, Who battle for the right. Stand by our nation's noble flag, Let not its folds be torn ; Stand by our trusty soldiers, Who by it, have been sworn. Let not our country's emblem Be trampled iu the dust; No, let its folds be lifted— That freemen's saered trust ! Smite all traitors from the land Who 'gainst our proud flag fire, Help our hearts to fe 1 it now, Aud love fox right iuspire. O ! Sod, preserve our country, T.et not our fair land sink, Snatch us from oblivion— We're standing on the brink. God, we ask it, in thy strength, And.in thy holy will, Rebuke the horrid ills of war ; Command it—"peace be still." But if there must be fighting, O i God, be with the right; Give them all strength to conquer Who for our country fight. ■illllll MiWIII ■
