Mr, Crittenden on the War•
On the 6th of this month, on" his way
back to Kentucky, , from Washington,
Mr. Crittenden reached Columbus, Ohio.
He was invited to 'address the people of
Columbus that evening, and having ac
ceeded to the request, a large body of cit
izens assembled at the N State House to
greet him. Mr. Crittenden spoke • sub-
Atantiallv as follows : •
_lle spoke of the reat contest before us;
thesuddennez• with which it was preCipi
' taxed upon_us.° But a few 'short --months
ago said Mr. Crittenden . , such - a calamity
as is now surottaing our country in glooni
-wasAtnthought of among the peopld.-- ,
But now that we are involved in it, we
must meet it like'mcn. It is not ; a • war
that is tube prosecuted for -the sake • of:
war, and ought to be conducted with
none of the common barbarities of war.
. It must nevertheless be prosecuted by no
half way measures. M friends, we must
gather the utinoM. strength or the conic
.try, and gird up the energies of our minds
to this most momentous contest. An
, l et
. it be prosecuted only for the purpose that
a ought to be carried on, and coicluded for
. ; the reidom'tion of our, Goeerkment avid Mei
tUnion. , In any event, it is a war that
-cannot last long. 4 , 1 t, will prove itself too
oppressive upon all classes of our_ people
to permit it being loiter contiuucMl.
It becomes. theri , fore, a duty to main
-
-twin this great government and this mag
nifficent land from, the terrible calamity
r' disunion. This I would aim by all the
powers 'of my life-to prevent.- hence
it is that I have just come froin voting
millions,of money and hundreds of thou
sands of then ; meet in order that the issue
;nay be decided more speedily, and QIIr
erring brethren be united to us once
more. For, fellow citizens, I believe we
shall be reunited; And Ihavec.oillidenee
. • in the belief that,instead of destroying, or
even we:kning us, t his war • will make
our Union stronger than ever before.—
One thing is certain, that this war will
make - the people lietter acquainted . with
oach other. And each seettonwill be"con
vinced that it would he a ;real deal bet
ter to have each other for friends than en
emies, for they will find that while they
can be the best of friends to each other,
they would in case ofseparation, be the
‘vorst possible enemies. They will mutt'-
. stIlF see that neither is destitute' of. -cont.
:age—that all are bold, brave men, as our
•:7ountrytnen have always been. [A voice
—Which'is rifrht?] isaushig a moment,
Mr. C. continued, as in reply—All are in .
some things to blame. 'The South has, as
.1 believe, most needlessly forced this war
-upon us; needlessly because all the wrongs
.of whieb•they could complain could better
• have been remedied in the Union and un
der the Constitntion than by anY act Aif
war c And yet others are not without
blame; for, ooh a year ago last • winter,
they could haVe•, adopted• measures of
peace which were tendered by .resolu
.. tions ; the power of securing peace was
then in their bawls, but their party Pride
prevented both from accepting the plan
proposed: One insisted upon this, and
the other upon that, till between llte,this
and that of parties, the present unhappy
quarrel has been forced upen us. It is
wise for its all to purify our own hearts
and see wherein we too have been in the
• • • wrong. We cannot expect to carry our
selves along by vaunting' either our Cour
age or our cause. The burden ofthe con
test is too serious for that ;. and it will
nest with the people themselves to end it

this come to pass that our secession friethis

apoleon in the fulness of his power,eciuld '
not have raised, from all the legions of
France, such an army as Mr. Lincoln has
'rallied, in the brief space of but` ninety
days, for the defencerof the Government.
That government has not been and Can
not be overturned. My friends, my fail 7
ing . voke warneS me to be brief.' lint let
the add, that the world are spectators of
this unexpedted strife. And we must
consider that we are nor holding in our
hands not only the material interests of
the present, but also the political ititerests
of all futurity. In this light I look upon
the present contest as the most motnett
.,ous event. that history has recorded for a
. thousand veers past. Let us then, :be
wise and be watchfid in • guarding such
'mighty interests.
