School at Tallymactaggert, in the county of .
Leitrim, to a friend during his official visit to
Dublin, for the purpose of studying Political
Economy, in the Spring of 1838.]"
Father Tom was the Reverend Thomas Ma
guire. The Pope was Gregory XVI., imme
diate predecessor of Cardinal Mastai Feretti,
who was elected Pope, in May 1848, and took
the title of Pius IX. We beg lettAM to add
that Gregory XVI., whe was Cardinal Mau
rus Cap6ilari before elected to the tiara, was
about the last clergyman, in or out of the ,
Vatican, to indulge in such a symposium as
was described by Mr. Michael Heffernan.
The Reverend Thomas Maguire, who was
living when his [imaginary] adventures in the
Vatican were recorded, was a very different
man. During the last twenty years of his
life, he was in charge of a pariah in the county
of Leitrim, in Ireland, and was most popular
:With all classes and sects. He was educated
at .Maynooth College, where he took orders
in the /dab Catholic Church. He was a dia
lectician, of great power and ingenuity, and,
shortly before the celebrated Clare Election
in 1828, had greatly distinguished- himself, in a
public and prolonged controversial discussion
with the Rev. Mr. Pope, a Protestant clergy
man from Cork. When Mr. Maguire accepted
the challenge boldly given by Mr. Pope, he was
little known out of Mayneoth, and it was
dreaded by many of his own persuasion, that
he would be defeated—not from an idea that
his cause was weak, but beeause he, an un
known and untried champion, was to be op
posed to the most able and most practised po
lemic of the Protestant Church. The discus
eon, held in the Rotund°, in Dublin, lasted a
whole week, and excited much attention in
the religions world. Each controversialist
had to assail three leading articles of his an
tagonist's creed, and defend three of his own.
To the surprise of all, Mr. Maguire proved
equal, at least, to his more practised opponent.
As usual, both parties claimed the viciery—
at all events, Mr. Maguire was admitted to
have most distinguished himself. It is plea
sant to add that a warm friendship between
Mr. Pope and Mr. Maguire sprung ont °Ms .
wordy cc passage of arms." When Mr. Pope
died, of consumption, in a foreign land, Mr.
Maguire's grief was deep indeed.
In ti Sketches of the Irish Bar," an
allusion is made to this controversy. Mr
Shen. says, te Pope brought to the combat
great fluency and a powerful declamation.
Maguire was a master of aduilatitic logic.
After several days of controversy, Pope was
overthrown, and ` Father Tom, as the cham
pion of orthodoxy, became the object of popu
lar adoration." Soon afte; the drive and
scum of the Orange party r •in the northwest of
Ireland, got up a charge of immorality against
"Father Tom," who was successfully de
fended by O'Connell. In gratitude, when the
Clare Election commenced, he tendered his
services to O'ConnelL Mr. Sheil wrote,
"His name alone was of great value, .and
when his coming was announced, the people
everywhere rushed forward to hail tho great
vindicator of the national religion."
The jovial and reverend partisan is them de
scribed by Mr. Shell r He is not greatly
tif o sinwith eommand of decorated phrase
aria he w it, r 7 D riitiong and iimPle reitBbli;
ing, which is equally intelligible to all classes.
He employs the syllogism of the schools as
his chief weapon in argument, but uses it
with Bush dexterity that his auditors of the
humblest class can follow him, without being
aware of the technical expedient of logic by
which he masters the understanding. His
! manner is peculiar a it is- not flowery, nor de
clamatory;but is ishort,"somewhat abrupt, and,
to use the Freactphraise, is trenchant. his
immatenande is- adapted to his mind, and is
expressive of the reasoning and controversial
faculties. A quick, blue eye, a nose slightly
turned up, and formed for the tossing off of
an argument, a strong brow, a complexion of
mountain ruddiness, and thick lips, which are
better formed for rude disdain than for polish
ed sarcasm, are his characteristics."
The Reverend Thomas Maguire was an emi
nently social man, without overstep* what
Shakspeare calls , 4 the limits of blcoming
mirth." Be was an excellent judge ot horse
flesh, and always had a couple of fine hunters
in his stable. Be delighted in field exercises,
and was reported to have, at one time,'lmen so
ruiclerical as even to keep a pack o f hounds.
A few greyhounds, in a coursing conatry, pro
bably gave rise to this report. It is generally
admitted that when Lever s In “Jack Hinton,
the Guardsman," sketched Father Tom Loftus,
the eccentric priest of Murranakilty, it was
Mr. Maguire whom he then bad in his mind's
eye. Be deserved, to the fill, what Lever
wrote of the "Father Tom" of fiction: cc Fa
ther Loftus sleeps in Murranakilty. No stone
marks his resting-place but not a peasant's
foot, for many a mile round, has not pressed the
little pathway that leads to ids grave, to offer
up a prayer for a good man, and a friend to
the poor." The real Father Tom died and
dearly, several years ago, and it was ouipeoted
that he was poisoned by two of his own ser
vants, who desired to appropriate to. them
selves whatever portable property he was pos-
nestled of.
There are only five 'Chapters' in 44 Father
Tone and the Pope." The first relates how
Father Tom went to take pot-luck at the Vati
can. It seems that the Padre was in Borne,
and was invited to take pot-luck with the Pope,
on a Friday—cc when there's no fast on the •
dhrink, any bow." Laehryma-christi,,and
claret are held in disdain by Father Tom as
"too sold for the stomach," and so, with per
mission, he brings out of his pocket a quart
bottle of whiskey--Potheen, that bad never
seen the face of a gauger—and gives His Holi
ness a grand receipt for making punch. As it
is worthy of remembrance, here it is : "Pat
in the sperits first," says his Rivirance, cc and
then put in the sugar ; and remember, every
[ ilhrop of water you put in after that spoils the
punch."
' In Chapter 11., Father Tom sacks his Holi
ness in theology and logic. Chapter 111. re

Holiness in Latin." On the suggeetion of the
Pope, they converse in Latin, Ilk fear that the

keeper of the Vatican, whom—Tv:wrest° ra
ferens t—he actually kisses before the Pope's
eyes, and then argues that it was only a de

why Father TOM was not made a Cardinal ~..
namely, that he persuaded his host to smoke a
pipe of gcnagur-head tobacco," which (and
not the punch, of course) made him so unwell
that he had to go to bed, leaving Father Tom
master of the field, but not inviting him to re
new the visit.
This scanty description of Mr. Michael
Heffernan's Blackwood article can only in
adequately convoy an idea of the racy humor
and ripe learning - which make its web and
woof. It has been republished several times
—in England, two years ago, in the series of
Tales from Blackwood, and, in Philadelphia,
about the Same time, by King and Baird, in
type greatly too large for the small size 1
°Who page,.without a regular title-page, aid
with sore coarsely executed wood-cuts.
Frord Mr. John Penington, South Seventh
street, we lately learnt that a beautiful edition
of «Father Tom and the'Pope" was speedily
to appear. The edition consists of only ninety
eight copies, printed for Cerele autour
du Poile:" . have : to acknowledge the re
ceipt of a copy, which we prize very much. It
has a right to be regarded if as the textile 4-
ceptus, it having been otirefully collated with
the later, and with the editio princeps." The
Printing, by Sherman, may be characterised
as "simplex munditiis," hi its way: There is
a brief preface, on the authorship, which
states Thackeray to have said, in 1853, that
cg Father Tom - and the Pepe" was written by
Ferguson, of Rublin,..and that cc a. similar re
turn wee glventtwo years before to a query iti
Willis's cuireit notes with the variation that
Ferguson was a Wexford man." ;Samuel
Ferguson, whose lyric fc The Forging of the
Anchor," read by Kit North, at the Heats
Ambrosianm, in February, 1832, is equal to
Schiller's Song of the Bell, did not write
ec Father Torn." Neither was it written 'by
the late iSrilliam kiaginn. Had Odoherty
written it, assuredly it would have foiand a
place in Maginia's Miscellanies, S voinuies,
the editor of wbith, accurately acquainted with
the real authorship, did not affiliate it upon
Magian.
We may add that the Reverend Pranoia
hony t«Father Front" of Primer's Maga: ine)
did not asenme the nom de plume of Michael
Heffernan, and, In fact, never wrote one line
In Blackwood.
In the neat edition on our table, the Preface
expresses " the °Onion that Michael 13 etternan
was the psendonyin of an ecclediestic, perhaps
a Catholic, perhaps a Protestant, who, for ma
sons obvious to hie 'readers, chose to maintain
a strict incognita; and that this very remark
able book was his only effort." It is not much
of a book, inasmuult,as it occupies only thir
teen pages in Blacktiooa.
Jahn Fisher Murray, Irishmare, educated
at Trinity College,, grid anb4equently
on the newspaper pileastet6itdon, was author
of 44 Father Tom 4,10 the Pope." The writer
of this notice edited The Nodes Ambrosianm,
as well ASMaginn'sMiscallanies. Re prefixed
a History of .13 ck o alfaga c n e to the first
volume of The Noe* and among other infor
mation received from Mr. John Blackwood, of
Edinburgh, as to the authorship of articles, was
the fact that Mr. Murray wrote Father Tom
and the Pope." ]Mr. Murray had previously
contributed a series of amusing and satirical
'papers called c , The - World of Loudon, ,, pub
lished in volumes 49 and 50 of Blackwood, and
"The. World _ we Live in,"—the last closing
in the very volume which contains i 4 Father
Toro."
We do not notice that Mr. Murray wrote for
.Blackwood after 1888, the year when his cs Fa
ther Tont" appeared. We have understood
that he returned to Ireland, where he contri
bute&aeveral Doetni t to the Dutilist 1142.i.rotrsify
.

in Bladcwoird.
It was lately stated, in one of• the newspa..
pers of thin city, that John Fisher Murray ilad
died ten or twelve years ago. This must be
wrong, for, in the Dublin Unweraity Magazine
for August, 11354, we find a poem by hhn, en
titled gi A Paasage in the Life of Terence?'
founded on an ineldent related by Seutonius,
his biographer. rye certainly was alive then
—nor have we .sec it any reliable notice of his
death.
We repeat that the author or c. Father Tom
and the Pope" was not Samuel Ferguson, nor
William Maginn, nor Francis Mahony, nor any
ecclesiastic, but simply john Fisher Murray,
an Irishman.

44 The Attitude of England."
11+9:r The Press.l
The news from England gives us the view
which is generally:taken there, concerning
privateering by the Southern Confederacy,
and that view is sad enough; diagraceful.to
England as a nation, if acted upon ;
sting as au evidence of how human nature is
swayed when self-interest is concerned. Lord
John Russell, in reply to the third question
propounded to him, on the 6th inst., in the
House of Commons, in relation to the course
of the Government towards the United States,
maid that, "with respect to belligerent rights
in the case of a certain portions of a State
being lii insurrection, there was a precedent,
which seems applicable to this purpose, in
the year 1825. Here he cited the case Of '
the revolt of the Greeks against the Turkish
Government. Aware of the want of parallel
ism in the - two cases, of the United States and
Turkey, he glides out of that defence for
: Partially acknowledging the Southern Con
federacy, by stating;. that the British Govern
ment, on the occasion above referred to, had
asserted in justification of its recognition of
the Greeks as belligerents, that cc the charac
ter of belligerency was not so much a princi
ple as a fact; that a certain degree of force
and consistency acquired by any mass of po
pulation, engaged in war, entitled that popula
tion to be treated as a belligerent." if this is
an established principle, what becomes of that
of aeg de facie Government All that Eng
land has to do, is to' decide, in the most insig
nificant rebellion, that there has been acquired
"a certain degree of force and conaletency,"
and acknowledge the rebels. Now, it was on
the 6th instant that this answer was made;
and on the 4th instant that the three. Sout
hern Commissioners were informally intro
duced to Lord John Ruse% z Sunday
only intervened between the introduction
and Lord John Russell's answer to the
questions in the House. The significance of
this we need not comment upon. Tho third
question,was as follows g 4 The Goiernment
of the United. States, having replied' topilln.'
(lulu the belligermat s sight.of issuing letters of
marque, the seven - Son.them COnfederated and
nevereign States having become to Ma s i:la:eked
States &temperate, and independent, and foreign
Power, whether her Majesty's Goiernment
recognizes the right of the President of the
Southern Confederacy to issue letters of
marque, and, it so, whether our minister it
Washington had been notified to that effect ?"
Now, the right here acknowledged by impli
cation, of the United States, to issue letters of
marque, cannot apply to the Southern Confe
deracy, for it is assumed, at the same time,
that the latter bee become, .d to the United
States, a separate, and independent, and fo
reign Power." It follows, then, that to accord
the Southern Confederacy the right to issue
letters of marque, it must he first granted
that it has the rights of belligerents, as the
first right cannot possibly, come from the non
agreement of the United States to the aboli
tion of privateering. The concluding question
of the paragraph quoted, as to whether 4( our
minister at Washington had been notified to
that effect," should have been, whether "our
minister had been notified to return," as the
acknowledgment, in the first part of the ques
tion, if answered affirmatively, would certainly
necessitate his return.
So much for our hope in official quarters.
As to the journals, with some honorable ex
ceptions, there is otter misunderstanding of
this rebellion, or else an intention to subordi
nate justice to self-interest. As we regard
the matter, the honorable course—and the
course to which, at the same time, England's
interest points—is that the United States
should come out victorious in this straggle ;
but seltinterest is sometimes short-sighted.
Certainly, if ever nation deserved sympathy,
we deserve it. If it ever deserved it from
another nation, we deserve it from England.
Her sin is visited upon us. She, of all others,
has for years been in the foremost rank of
proclaimers of universal liberty, and in no
small measure has her press stirred up an
tagonism in this country on the subject of
slavery.
Every one must see that cotton is the mo
tive in all this. The English wear cotton, and
they think that, even if the United States in
stitutes a strict blockade while privateering is
carried on by our enemy, our ships will con
tinually be Called off their stations in the pur
suit of privateers, and cotton could thus be
occasionally procured, and probably our
ti.taxatadosiiiirht then be declass...l:au - thilki
that she sees in this wayless danger of losing
cotton than if she bides the time when the
United States could remove the embargo.
England's position 'is more than suspicious;.
but there is just enough want of precision in
what has been uttered to leave her a loophole
to escape. All she would have to do would
be to declare that the Southern rebellion, in
view of the magnitude of the power of the
Government of the United States, has not '

Would have been a far different warfare from
privateering by the Southern Confederacy.
England has her choice, to take our offer made
in our time of need, or blacken her national
character by a refusal—the reason for which
will be as
is plain as day. If the Southern Cotr
1 federacy fully achuowledged as a belli
gerent,
it may be difficult, with our vessels, to
1 establish a thoroughly effective blockade, and
' England, taking advantage of any omission on
our part, may declare the blockade not
effective, and consequently not valid. We
are no alarmists ; but it is well to fain over
all contingencies, and consider them well.
There is oue thing,however, that iliany event
we can, and if necessary should do, to Make
the blockade complete. Wherever the sink
ing of hulks will save the presence of a man
of-war, they may be sunk, and the channels
completely obstructed. The outlets of the
Mississippi can be thua advantageously ae•
cured. If it would be urged that we would
thus risk the destruction of harbors, our answer
is, that we must risk it. It is useless to fight
an active enemy with one arm tied behind
our backs. This is or is not a war. If it is
not, patch up a better peace in some way ;
but if it is, a war it cannot be conducted suc

Mn. Enrroa : Every good citizen is ex
pected to contribute to the public safety, now
that our country is in difficulty.
I would respectfully suggest the idea of em
ploying and equipping for war purposes some
of our fleetest coasting schooners. They could
be fitted out at trifling expense, and can be
selected from regular sea-going Crafts to those
of very light draught, according to their dasti
nation, for speed and safety can defy the world,
and wouldemake a valuable auxiliary to our
navy for blockading purposes, and capturing
Jeff. Davis' Privateers. Oar coasting men are,
or ought to be, the most experienced ; they can
sail along our extended coast with safety,
without light-honses or buoys, enter harbors
without other marks than those unalterable
ones made by Nature. Long experience bail
also taught them to take every advantage of
the different seasons of the year—a knowledge
Of Which is indispensable.
Unfortunately, we *now nothing about
handling guns; but if our Government wants
their guns and marines transported within
shooting distance of the enemy, at any parti
cular time, we can do that part, and are waiting
a call. We have the vessels and men to man
them, and believe them, when in connection
with steamers, more effective than the same
tonnage in larger vessels. Of, course, some
experienced men from our navy must conduct
the fighting departments on board. Then , we
have a navy already on hand. These remarks
are made that you and others may show the
world that all our available fighting torees are
not yet developed. ONE OF MEM.

presented with * beautiful star-spangled banner
by the brother if the Colonel, Joseph W. Cake,

those Commantei from our State who rushed to arms
the moment they, heard the capital was threatened,
and wore the.first troops to arrive in Warbington,
reaching here a few, boure after the requisition of
the President upon the States for aid went forth.
It made Its firit parade yesterday, and though se•

at Fort Washington ; where they hove beep doing
arduous duty for weeks past, it made a higl4yere

on its , parade ground at the arsenal at 2 o'clock
P. M , and marched from , thence,, headed by the
fine Ringgold band of Reading, to the east grounds'
of the Capttol, Where the presentation took plane.'
The quiekness and precision with which the va

the fact that the regiment is well officered, and that
time has been improved to the `best advantage.
Arrived at the :east' Catittol: grenade, the men
were drawn up line, oilcan in front. The

Ormerrr OF PiIfASYLVANZA : I am here in the ful
filment of a duty which it aim= me great pleasure
to discharge.; lam here for thepurpoee of making
a presentation to you, coming from mertaleoltizens
of Schuylkill' county In - otir dearly-beloved State,
who have watched your earlylnd your ardent pa
triotism in the cause of-your country with area- -
Sonata solicitude. I am aeoply honored by the
compliment of tmin F permitted to he the , median],
of communicating this glorious present to yeu.
I reaollect very well the hour and the evening
when the beat part of your regiment entered this
oily. You were, in feet, the advance guard. You
preceded danger, it is true, bat you were willing,
though not prepared, to meet, it Most of you came
to Washington ununiformed, and many of you un
armed. You were galled here by the threat that
this great capital was in imminent periL You
were called here by the gentleman who now pre
sidia, over.the most important department of the
Federal Government, the Secretary of War; Wm,
appresiating the difloulties surrounding our posi
tion, and relying upon the patriotic= of the people
of hie noble State, called you hither. In a mo
ment you responded You came, and were wel
owned heartily. by him To him be all honor,
not only for that act, but for the many other roam
which have thus far distinguished hie adminiatra-
Son of his important office You were warmly
welcomed by the people with heartfelt joy There
was something peculiarly appropriate In this: early
arrival of the troops> of my native State. Wash
ington, who founded this city, honored Poonsyl-
vania by naming its greatest avenue after her.
The avenue which Matta from the Capitol to the
White House i.e named after our dear old State.
It was well, then, that her eons should be the first
on the ground. It was well. that they should ap
pear early, no matter how, no matter in what eon
dition, but that they snould be here to testify their
devotion to the Union, their attachment to the
Government, and their grateful recollection of the
virtueo and tho services of the Father of his
Country.
There are momentous issues—immortal issues—
involved in this contest, and I am amazed that
any Anaerioan 'Mould hesitate what side to take
in Ibis struggle. In truth there is but one side to
it. Most questions have two sides ; this has only
one. It ie the aide of the country—the. Made of
God, of gratitude, and of individual and national
honor. It hair amazed me that those who have
heretofore controlled the administration of the
Government, from the beginning of it, under
whatever party, should now bo found in arms
keine. it. They who have boasted of their chi
valry, of their oour e
whieVilViel the embodiment of every rm ant ri
and political virtue. What ie the tome and u wti a at
is the creed of these men? Repudiation, perjur y,
falsehood, robbery, murder . and at last aris -a
tion ! But, fellow-eltizens of Pennsylvania ' to-da y

fight for ! There are miStakes, of coarse,
in the Administration of ell Governments'.
Them mot be °minions when men are brotight

are others ready .to teke your platm—utillion. are

ate, really fortunate in °there. Yon are fortunate in
your 'eaves, fortunate in your' day and tiros, fortu
nate in your generation, lairtunate.in having God 'e
blessing, fortunate in ,your country, fortunate in
all the memories of the - past, and all the hopes
that thrill in every patriotioleart.
But, gentlemen, apart from the wrongs you are
here to right, apart from the injuries yon are here to
avenge, yon are chiefly fortunate in that you are here
the executives of a great duty. And what is that ?
The pratervatton of the Unson, the perpetuatzon
of the Conststution, the estaltshment of the Go ,
venrntent, [Cheers J I admire the soldier who
obeys the command of hie officer. I admire the
regular who follows the strict lino of discipline
But I want to see in this contest the fire that
burned in the Revolution, the spirit which ani
mated those who fought in the religious battles of
the past—in other words, I want patriotic fanati
cism ! lApplarme.l I want to see not only eel
tiers, but conscientious men, who feel, when they
draw their swords in this battle, that they are not
drawing them merely to discharge e sold duty, to
fulfil a military obligation, but to avenge Wrongs,
and assist in establiehing, and perpetuating a great
Government. [Cheers 1 I repeat to you, the be
nefactors
of the country, to you to whom we are
all so much indebted for the alacrity with.wbioh
you advanced, my thanks for the honor you have
paid me in permitting me to present to you this
beautiful standard. [Uieplaying the flag.] This
flag, which has been immortalized in our short him
tory—this flag, which has thrilled the hearts of
Americans from the Revolution down to the pre
sent day—this Sag, which they have attempted to
supplant in yonder slave aristocracy by a serpent
banner—this flag, whioh carries consolation and
hope to the hearts of freemen all over the , world
—who would not die under it ? Who does not feel,
when its glerione folds are unfurled, that it. is the
shield and canopy of a great people? [Applauee.]
There is one thing that I believe in, though
I have never seen it. I believe that there is .a God
in heaven. I have never seen Him, but 1 believe
in Him. I have been taught by the mother who
bora me, when kneeligg at her aide, that there is
erten a &wenn and Omniscient being ; rbut I have
never seen Rim. Yet, what would be the fate of
him who would go out broad-faired and everywhere
deny the existenoe of the Deity? He would be
shunned by man and woman, and expelled from
all decent society. Rut Oath is another Gad that
I do know and that it this, (pointing to the fl of
the thirty- f our stars.) ] Tremendous applause . I
know it, because I see it daily. [Cheers] Here
is a question of religion that does not require ar
gument. Here is goers' that requires no ritual, no
illustration, no learned men to define. I knew !
I know that this my country's Redeemer Wrath,
'shouts of applause;] and I trust that, as be who
opposes that mysterious Divinity in the skier, dies
the moral death,` cm be who opposes that Divinity
which we do kiaow and see will be consigned to
the traitor's doom [Cheers.] -
And now, Major Campbell, you who, in the halls
of the House of Representatives, have always so
faithfully served your people, and who have lately
given to them and the country tbo realization of
the sincerity of your words; by putting on the uni
form which you may probably carry to an early
and bloody grave, I am glad to meet you, face to
face, and to present to you and the Twenty-fifth
Regiment of Pennsylvania this star-spangled ban
nor. [Ones of " Good," and great cheerios.]
As Colonel Forney sonoluded, he opened the tug
and handed it to Major Campbell. As it caught
the breeze, its $$ sky-born glories" were revealed
in their fall splendor in the ohm air in which It
floated, and i as if by a common impulse, the thoa
sands assembled on the grownd gave expremion to
their emotion by a long, load cheer. The regi-
MUG Delisted the flag by preseating arms, the bead
playing the national anthem.
Major Campbell, having waved it two or three
times, handed the flag to Lieutenant MoCool, now
of the regular army, but lately connected with the
regiment, who was standing near, and proceeded
to respond to Colonel Forney,

would °welder himaelf forever diegmeed if he

any denial he has suffered in a cause so sacred as
this. He has held before him the example of our

dies ; while it lives liberty lives. In my humble
judgment, while the grass grows, and the white
clouds float in God's ammo as they float now, that

I. only represent these gallant men, when I say,
sir, that their motto is, death to .everything that
crosses the path of the Union. [Cheers.] It is
not for toe to refer to the feet that these young
men, from the mountains of our old State—your
State and mine, God bless her ! bared their
tireare,-.unarmed, to the mob of Baltimore.
Where a Washington monument towered to the .
Heavens, they feared no viojenee; they thought
to meet no enemy. Carrying . this glorious eta u
blew, they thought they were among friends ;
and 'though they found foes, they came here,
.as you have so elequently described, unarmed,
and, if I may use the expression, " fluttering
their rags with an air of majesty." [Laugh
ter.] You have referred to the fact that there
was a want of oare of thane young men in
some quarter. I grant it. They have not been
so equipped, nor have they had their wants
supplied, as citizens of our State deserved. It is
not fir me to Say where the fault lies, but then
men know that even the commisserlat blankets,
mob as were 'furnished to them, (and I can ima
gine none worse,) may be worn like , the purple of
an emperor! [Laughter and 'applanee I
It has been said, and if may have had Its el
foot upon the public—l know not and care not—
that probably England may, to advance a sup
posed manufacturing interest, take part in this
great struggle, in behalf of the rebels of the South;
but, sir, I have no fear that England will become
so lost to all sense of honor, and so diametrloall7
opposed to all her past history. .1 fear it not. The
supposition does her injustice. Bat it England--
and.while I am in this mood, under this flag, and
upon this American green, I will , say, that if any
alliances can be made by these traitors with any
of the European nations, let ne know it now,
while we are in the humor. Let us go into the
fight like the Sioux Indiana, who never count their
foes. [lmmense applause.]
I fear I am. making too long a speed for a man
who wears a uniform, brit let me make one farther
remark. There are men throughout all the South
who aympathize with our Union canoe. There are
true men as ever lived in these so-called Con.
federate States. They cry to us for help and
succor. Weighed down by an armed despotism,
with the yoke of an unscrupalous enemy around
their 'leaks, without the means to strike a blow
for liberty, they call upon the Government for
arms and for means to aid them in their struggle
against Ude despotism. What would you think of
a Government that would refuse to aid and protect
them ? Shell we not extend a helping - hand to the
gallant men ofEentneki, Western Virginia, Eastern
Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia ? It is our duty
to afford them all the assisuoma ea an, power. if
evirnurto - mhApv......—roleni into their midst, to
send our eagles there, and give them all the aid
that men, arms, money, and Ships can give, thin
great Government is faithless to ifs trust. We aye
bound to protect them. Thousaads and hundreds
of thousands of them give allegiance to this
Government, aid when they demand protection
we must protect them. If the Government failed
to give that protection, it would fail of its high
object and be consigned to perdition.

GENER.kr. WArmAIDOE, Of New York, is in
Washington, urging upon the Government to accept
all the men who desire to enlist for the war, until
at least four or five hundred thousand men are en

make the Ira a blood/ess one, and establish the
military character of the nation abroad, as well al
overcome treason at home.. It is a Christian and
humane idea to crush the rebellion with the least
possible amount of bloodshed.
