ADOPTION OP PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS.
3ho war feeling in Lancaster county ia Intense,
determined and practical. The meeting held in
Lancaster city on fcaturday, in response to the
President’s call for three hundred thousand troops,
was an evidence of this fact, but a still better evi
dence is the rapidity with which the quota of men
required from the county is coming fa. Now that
harvest is over, all other, business seems te have
been laid aside, and with one common impulse the
farmers are leaving their peaceful fields and taking
arms to serve their country fa fields of strife
,and bloodshed. Already over five hundred men
have enlisted, and long before the time ex
pires it is expected that the regiment now raising
fa Lancaster will be on the march to the seat of
war. Every street has its reef Siting station, and the
busy note of preparation is heard on all sides
disturbing the usual tranquillity of the quiet
eld city. On Saturday last one of the largest mass
meetings that ever assembled in the connty was
held in Centre Square. The trains that came fa
from east and west during the day were crowded,
and hundreds attended fa their private conveyances.
At one livery stable we nOtioed over one hundred
vehicles, and at another over two hundred. The
city appeared, fa gala dress on the occasion, all the
stores being closed and flags flying fa every direc
tion.
In the middle of the square a great tent had
been pitched by Thaddeus Stevens, Jr,, Esq., who
is raising a company, and on Saturday he obtained a
large number of recruits. Mr. Stevens is the
nephew of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, the Representa
tive fa Congress for the district, who is offering
large snms out of his private fortune to encourage
enlistments. It Is a noticeable faee that the most
prominent aetors in the great meeting were such
prominent Democrats as the elder Mublenbarg,
Hon. B. Champneys, James L, Reynolds, Esq.,
-Col. W. B. Pordney, W. R. Wilson, Esq., and
hosts of others, now heartily united in support of
the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, and in oppo3i
tion to the traitors and their sympathizers. ,
. At two o'clock, the meeting was called to order
by James L Reynolds, Esq., chairman of the com
mittee of arrangements.
Dr.F. A. Muhleuburg was chosen to preside,
yriih a fang list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
Oh taking the ehair, that venerable and beloved
oitizen said : '
. SPEECH or DR. -UUEILBNIJURO.
It is scarcely necessary, my friends, that I should
state the object .of this, meeting. This vast assem
blage of the solid matfe m of the city and conaty
of Lancaster is a oonelusife nroof that vim value
the institutions which were framed by vour an
cestors, who lived under them and enjoyed the
greatest amount of happiness, and handed them
over to you fa trust to transmit to all fature
generations. Yon , have aeeepted this trust,
and I have no doubt are willing to carry
out the conditions. The South governed this
nation for fifty years, and while they had
control of the Executive and the Senate, they
were tolerably satisfied : but so soon as their power
began to wane, they became restless, and determined
to repossess the power they were gradually losing.
The first exemplification of this effort wastheOttend
Manifesto, issued by gentlemen with whom you are
well acquainted. That famous manifesto- urged
upon, Spain the sale of the island of Cuba, and at
the same time intimated that if she wonld net sell
they would take it by force. Was not this modnst
on the part of onr representatives to a friendly
Power which had possessions ra juxtaposition to
ours?
When Spain would not sell or be frightened-far
filibusters; the South? saw that-tbes*\ attemptto o&
tain more territory in that direodoh was fruitless;
and In order to regain their power the KanaasafTair
was broached. The compromise which, years be
fore, had been made by them, was no-longer useful,
and it was abrogated. Free fcemtory was to- be
invaded and used for slave purposes, and slave
institutions were to-be forced into free territory, in l
spite of all the. resistanee that could be made;
When this attempt failed, they ultimately resorted l
to force .and villainy—villamy, first, in robbing us
of all the muniUons of war; and force, secondly,
in bringing on the crisis which resulted in this un
fortunate civil war by firing upon Sumpter and'
compelling its small garrison to surrender.
Everybody, I presume, knows that the last Ad
ministration had the destiny of this country in the
hollow of its hand. If it had possessed asinkle
spark of the spirit of old Andrew Jackson; if hiacha
raoterhad had any influence upon the late
tive, that officer would have contracted his hand
and crushed the rebellion in its bud ; but alas!' that
wasnot his object. [Cries of “True.”] Ido be
lieve, however, that if the South could have hada
prospect of their devastated farina, and the fields of
old Virginia. saturated with fraternal blood, they
would have hesitated before embarking in their*
rasb adventure. If the then Executive could by any
possibility have had an intimation of the consa--
cjuences of the wioked-aots which he knew traitors
were attempting against his country, he would'ne
ver have permitted them. Nor would they even*
have attempted them. It is too late now.
I will not enter into a detailed account of all the
causes which produced this atrooioaB, this villainous
rebellion. I will leave that matter to the more elo
quent gentlemen who surround; me. lam not in
the habit of making public-speeches,.as you know,
and I merely rose to thank you for the compliment
you had paid me, and to state that the particular
object of. this meeting is to supply the wants of oar*
weakened army. By the greatest acts of despotism,
the South has brought into the field, and massed in
the neighborhood of Richmond; a force at least two
to one,' compared with our small army, which has
been lessened by disease and the sword. It now.
becomes our duty to use .every efibiV’collec
tively and individually, to : sustain our army,
on the Peninsula, and tolfili the vacancies-which
have occurred in if. Thatshouldibe oiir first; our itm
immediate object. There ought to be ho delay. Our
second object should be to supply the.e&U which has
been made for three hundred thousand men. These
troops, as a matter of eourse,. will be an army of
occupation, to take ahd hold possession of the coun
try which properly belongs to üßi The rebels are
not entitled to an inch of ground and it should be
taken from them and converted to the use of the
army as it progresses, and of the loyal oifcizens of
the North. [Great applause]. I therefore trust
that there will be no dissenting voice, hut that eve
ry man in this vast meeting wi l be prepared, to do
his utmost in this the cause of his country. And
may God prosper it t [Cheers. J ;
The Rev; Mr. Porter'made-an eloquent and int--
pressive prayer, afterwhufii the- following resolu
tions were read by Janies I*. Reynolds, Ewj , and
approved amid the greatest enthusiasm, each re
solution being heartily cheered, and three cheers

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1862,
SDIBCH OF COL. JOHN w. FORNEY
The resolutions being adopted, Col. John W.
Forney was introduoed to the meeting and re
ceived with tremendous applause. He said :
Old Friends and FellovCitizens : It gives
me sincere gratification to appear before you on
this impressive ocoasion. However the circum
stances by which we are surrounded may sadden
our hearts, it is cheering to one like myself, who
has been buffeted by the varying winds of fortune,
to come hack to his old stamping ground and be
welcomed by snoh a demonstration as this, f Ap
plause], The spot whereon I stand is filled with
peculiarly pleasant associations to me. In this
very neighborhood I began life as a printer boy,
and within the circumference of five or, six hundred
yards I published two newspapers, advocating cer
tain definitive principles, up to the period of my re,
moval to another sphere. Situated as I now am fa
another sphere, I often look baok upon this old town
with singularly agreeable feelings I remember
the old court house, which seems, at least to my
eyes, to have been removed by some rode and wan
ton sacrilege from the spot where it so long stood
I remember the old signs which used to look down
upon me from this Centre Square. I remember
the men who are gone —names honorable, names
never to be forgotten, napiea always to bo cherished.
I remember, too, gentlemen, that on one ocoasion*
fa April of 1856, in this very place, and probably
from this very stand, I participated fa the reception
of a distinguished citizen who came baok from a
foreign land, bearing, as we supposed in his hand,
the olive branch that was to still the troubled wa
ters, and make us all peaceful and united. Strange
to say, you, my venerablefriend [Dr. Mublenbarg],
also presided on that interesting occasion, and
headed a vast throng of people who weldomed this
.statesman back to his own home, indulging with
them the hope that he wonld.be the saviour of. his
country. Your praenee, as chairman of this great
meeting, to-day. is a suggestive oomment upon the
manner in which this high expectation was disap
pointed
Remembering these thfagß, I also oall to mind
how many of yon, now before me, pledged your
selves to hiscause, stood by him -through the suc
ceeding controversy, (tided to elevate him to the
Presidency, looked with pride upon, the commence
ment of his Presidential career, and rated content
fa his integrity and his patriotism. These recollec
tions are pertinent to tins occasion. JTheir revival
certainly cannot offend any man who is the friend
of his country. And I do not believe fa that
philosophy which restrains the utterance of essen
tial-truth in a dark and dismal hdiir like this, lest
it may give offence to some tender gentleman who
hesitates whether he shall stand by the flag of the
stars and stripes or by the flag of the'ratUesnake
and tlm scorpion. [Hear, hear, and cheers j Ho w
the distinguished gentleman, to whom I have al
luded as being thus honored and thus elected, car
ried out the pledges he made to the people ot the
United States, end confirmed the . expectations en
tertained fa regard to him, you yoursaif, Dr. Muh
. lenburg, bave fearlessly'stated fa your opening ad
dress. The page that records it is now being writ,
ten with the heart’s blood of some of his own neigh
bors and friends. [Hear, hear ]
’ Gentlemen, the occasion that .has called you here
to-day is to con tribute of your pecuniary and physi
cal wealth to the.maintenance ©f the Union and the
protection of the Republic, and I- propose, fa the
few words I shall say, to devote myself to
the object of securing unity among aii the peopleof
the free States "to those ends. Our trouble is not
that we have not a good cause; not that we have
not a gallant armynot that the wishes of all pa
triotic men are not with ns; but that, with all these
advantages, we conceive we can go on discussing the
trarions issues involved, embarrassing, criticising,
and interrupting the operations of our constitutional
leaders, precisely as if we were in the midst of a
profound peace. And many honest men fall into
this blunder, without thinking that they are being
misled from a high public and conscientious duty
by partisans, who desire to create a division among
thepeople of the free States, in order to bring aboufr
a disgraceful peace, and reinstate to power the men
who are now fighting against the Federal Glow In
dent. [Cries of “ That’s it.” J
If; the veil that conceals the. secrets of every
household could be lifted, Mr.Presidenfc, we should
find .that one lesson of life, frequently taught to
ourselves, has as frequently been impressed fa
fasting characters upon other hearth. Differences
between brothers and sisters,- between wives and
husbands;-Between' parents and children—differ
ences that have run like a bitter stream through
many years, are oheoked and closed forever, when
the Angel of Death passes over the stricken thresh
old. As the long-alienated kindred meet at the
bedside of the dying father, mother, brother, or
sister, and behold the tranquil, spirit preparing to
wing its way to the throne of God, that spirit often
implores, with dying accents, that peace may de
scend upon the divided circle; may rolight the
fires of love on the chilled hearthstone, and warm
thebosoms too long estranged. Rarelyis this inno
vation faeffeetoall The tears shed for the parting
sonl mingle with those that reconcile the separated
living, and the-family, Umg lacerated by its own
strifes, joins hands in token of perpetual affeetioh
over the bed of death.
Mr. President our country "s not dead, nor, let
ns hope, dying: hat she urtted like a martyr to-a
stake, and ib surrounded by a wild and many
weaponed throng. -- There is a shade of grief upon
her brow: her sufferings are groat, for her wounds
are many, ohe sees with agonv that those who
. .plunge the dagger into her side and try to light tbe-
Sfaggot at her foot are her own children—childreu
she has nursed and nourished at her own generous
breast, and, m imitation of Him-who bled upon the
orem eighteen hundred- and sixty-two years ago,
she exshnms, through' all her acts and signs,
“ Father, forgive them,- fbr they know not what
ibjgr db."
Turning from these degenerate children, she
appeals teas. She tells oe-that her reliance now
is upon those.who have been always-loyaland true;
who.have returned her bounties-and; blessings with
a constant gratitude, and hare-rewarded her trials
and* toils for them by spreading before her eyes the
triumphs of their genius and the trophies of theirin
dustry. [Applause ] But, as she calls ue to the rescue,
she bids us, first of all, be at peace with each other.
Metbihks Phear her divine accents- new! “ Obe
dient you-have- been tome, imy children; yon have
made yourselves a wonder among the-nations; you
"have Builded a government unparalleled upou
earth, but you-have net been united! among your
selves; you- are not united now; ©h ! let your
bleeding country, yonr mother and your friend,
your guardian and yonr stay—let yonr country, fa
this her darkest hour and her direst strait, implore
you to cease all dissensions, to seal up- forever the
pestilential fountains of parky, and to move fa serried
array to her defence. Thera is only one other
power, sir, that can- make a more irresistible appeal
—that, power* whieh Bpeaks fa thunders from the
skies. Shall we, then, be deaf -to the -voice of our
country, when we fee! that that country is almost
commissioned to- speak the voice of God himself? ‘
[Cheers.]!
Sir, I plead tor the unity of the free peopleof
the free States, Great Heavens! why should they
not be consolidated into one vast, overpowering
mass?' lioobat the rebellions South ! 'The atrocious
crimes; and the inhuman objects of the conspirators,
so far from creating divisions among them, have
produced a unity, not a unity of conscience, but a
unity of organized and savage fanaticism. They
seem to Be inspired by the demon desperation,
which made Macbeth exclaim:
, *• I am in blood

Beturning ware as tedious as go o’er. 3 ’
These bad men fight against a good Govern
ment asif i-i had not been their beat and most con
stant benefactor. They are driven upon, oar
bayonets in drunken and infuriated, thousands.
Oor flag to them is the emblem of infamy, and our-
Union a covenant of erime. From their hearts
they have blotted the glorious memories-of the
past. Every battle-field of the Revolution fills
them with remorse. The tomb of every patriot is.
a monument of reproach. 1 The effigies of Wash
ington, and Jackson, and' Jefferson almost speak
through their roarWe lips in rebuke of their sacri
lege. And .yet, • Mr.; President, these people are
muted.
Behold, sir, what a heritage wo are4ghpng ; for!'
No people ever'had such a' cause. Not the myriads
who went forth centuries ago to recover the Holy
Sepulchre—not the legions who® followed Ctesar,
Alexander, and-Napoleon ‘ Never-never; sir, has
such a creed and sneh a country appealed to .human
hearts..-, [[Cheers ];
Mother, over the grave of your only son, who
died of the malaria or the murderous bullet in the I
swamps of the Chickahoniiny, as you weep. for the i
loved and the list, do not your prayers ascend-for -
the brave boys, he has Jeft behind-him?' Do.yogi t
not feel that the stout men at home should, go forth f
to succorthem ? And doeg.not your noble woman’s f
heart swell with indignation. attheflsight of party
quarrels around your own threshold ?-
Father, whose gallant lads have gone: forth, to. the.
field, tell me how you regard the spirit of discord
jn the free-Statesl Is it not-an insult to you, and
an insult to them? When you are told that safe
and prosperous men shall hot pay the tax that is to
support the soldiers of the Republic, that the pw>\,
perty of the traitors shall not be seized and used to
sustain! the army, that their farms and persons shall
he protected by Union bayonets, that the .stout
arms of the Southern negroes shall not be'invetted
to save your own sons front the dreadful work of
the camp, the trenoh, and the fort; and,abdye,aU, ;
that sordid sympathisers with this bloody treason
shall he permitted to revel in luxuryuuder the
: cegis of a Government they are'seeking to destroy,
do you Dot feel that the day ot vengeance must
oome to all who, in this dread-crisis; remain iodif-,
ferent te their oountry’s sufferings, and refuse to
respond to their country’s call? [Great cheering ]
Man of toil, —mechanic,—laborer hear me ! .
Shall this great, free people bo broken up and de- :
stroyed, only to gratify your natural enemies—to.
satiate the ambition of those who denounce you a&
an inferior class? The world has its aristocracies,
but none so base and. baleful as the aristocracy of
Secession. Its soul and body are/compounded of
hatred and contempt for Northern industry and
toil, Born of slavery—resting upon slavery—liv
ing upon it, —in luxury, laiiness and ease, the race
thus pampered has become a race of tyrants, re-
f aiding you as its foes, and elutehing to its em
rsee as natural allies, the despots of the did world.
[Cheers.] There is not atraitor in the South to-day
who does not believe, or has not said, that the ulti
mate design of this great oonspiracy is to establish
upon ihese shores a monarchy, or, failing ia that, to
drsgtheßepubUcto a dishonored grave; and either
result is your degradation.
Fenners of Pennsylvania, a word with you I
Come with us and peneot the work of popular uni
ty! Happy in your quiet homes, blessed in the
midst of abundant harvests, heretofore more inde
pendent than any other clam, do not be deluded by
»b6hope . ~*j
“ That trenching war wIU not channel your fields,
Nor bruise jour flowerets with the' armed hoot of ho -
.- tile pores;” ' .
Unlets, indeed, now as I speak anil as you hear, :
you-send your sons to hold back the invader. If
re bellion is not crushed by Northern concentration
and courage our borders.will soon be baptised in
blood; the fairest of cup valleys will shake under
the thunderous tread of mighty squadrons. Now
•bat your craps age gathered - in, your
barns filled _ to bars ting,—your broad acres
shorn of bounteous ; burdens, —now let your
young Dien advance to - gather glorious laurels,
on Othor fields, aqd to crowd the national arohives
with the names, of other heroes. In the olden
titoe, when the foreigu foe sent his myrmidons
among uSj the plough was left standing in the far
'row'; the siokiernsted among the ripening theatres,
and the bnsbandman flew to battle to follow the train
; of wHUeiy, and te exchangejthe reaping hs»k for
&e sword- 0! rouse ye, then, tillers of thii golden
| soil, and swear by the memory of Putnam, and
Morgan, and Wayne, the farme/heroesof the glo-
I riousjptst, that you will preserve and defend the
; legacies they have bequeathed to you. [“ We will
j go,” and great cheers ]
I Men of wealth, will you hold back ? Every dol
f lar of your money has been accumulated under the
i fostering care of that good Government, whose life
!is now at stake. Yon have prospered beyond ex
ample. Yon have been fortunate as others have
been fortunate. What value wonld attach to your
heaps of gold if the Republic. were gone ? In that
hoar your houses, your bonds, and hidden stores
would pass away, as the clouds before the storm, or
the mists before the sun. Come forth, 0 Dives,
and help your country! Appear, 0 Midas, with
yonr shining tributes; for, of all youwfavestmeuts,
none have rewarded you so, much* or returned
such solid premiums, as will that speculation nhioh
proves vow trust In, and gratitude for, the Govern
ment which has protected you.
I now address the politicians—the leaders of par
ties—the controllers of Conventions—the creators
of Presidents and Governors You have one Divini
ty that you-worship—the Divinity of Publio Opin
ion-. Easily swayed and moulded fa peace, it is
eagle-eyefl, keen-scented,, and jealous fa time of
( war. The ordinary tricks of the partisan trill not
pass ourrent how. It is fa an Inquiring and suspi
cions mood. It seeks to know for itself—to weigh
every assertion in the scales of a moat exacting
judgment; Deceived on former occasions, it remem
bers the adage, “Cheated once, it is my ene
my’s fault, but cheated a second time, the fault
is mine,” Whatever may be said of the
fickleness of publio opinion, in one thing
it has always been steady and unchangeable—
and ibat is in love of country. Publio opinion has
sometimes been compared to a great ocean tossed
by contrary winds and torn by many currents.
Faction may disturb it—unisrepresentations of mea
sures and men may oonyulse it, But, beware, gen
tlemen politicians, of the other sea that rolls be
neath the tempeßt—the' tranquil, deep, and
eternal flood that finds its- source fa every loyal
heart—love of country and devotion to the Ameri
can Union. [Cheers.] And-if : ever this emotion
existed before it exists now. If, ambitious men
desire pl&ce or promotion, lot thorn carefully
consult the auguries before they offend their chosen
idol. [Cheers ] I would hotfa this presence revive
party names* but I will appeal to the politicians to
come forward.and assist in combining and consoli
dating .tnq, people fa favor of the war. Is there.
before me one who was- a Breckinridge Democrat
two years ago? To him' do I address myself.
Youf candidate has gone into the rebellion; but
many; who acted with you are now leading the 1
bests in the army and firing the pnbiio heart in
civil life—standing like heroes ,by. the flag, and
denouncing every man who .dares to be .indif
ferent to‘the cause .of the country and to
sympathize’'with the traitors. Let me name
in this connection Governor Dickinson, of New
York* Andrew Johnson, the noble Governor of
Tennessee, the soldier-statesman Gen. Benjamin
F- Butler, and fa our own State, snob men as ffm,
With ins and Wilson MeCandiess., [Cheers ]. They
Show theirsense of the error of 1861) by acts of gal
lantry and patriotism that cannot fail to bo felt by
all the honest men who, 00-operated with them fa
the Presidential campaign.' But, oh! gentlemen,
those of you in this quarter who are to-day fol
lowing the lead of a oertafa “ O’. P. F.”—[laugh
ter]—as indicated ‘fa oertafa of his newspaper
organs hereabouts* should look well at the same
time to the lessons that are taught to you by the
Breekinridge-Democrats, Butler and Johnson. If
these men have.one feeling of hatred and hostility
more bitter than that they entertain against the
traitors in arms, it is for those men in the loyal
States who'diire to slay hers and secretly aid and
sympathize; with the foes of our glorious coun
try.' [Cheers] Is theTe a Douglas Democrat
before me? He cannot be one to ,aid fa dividing
the people fa this dark and trying hour:’ Such
tmfln would forget his own father and stan
er the mother that bore-him. His great leader
sleeps ill holy and unforeotten solitude near the
metropolis of Illinois. In life the embodiment of
high principle, enlightened progress, and daring
purpose he rail od to bis standard a mighty army
of believers and devotees. The highest type, of a
knightly gentleman, be was the best ideal of an
und mted patriot He died early after leav
ing behind-bim afame'that wiil endure aS long
as the great lake that rolls by its busy and
populous shores; and with hie last wordshe uttered

the Republicans, responsible for the war. and thus
relieve the murderers of our country a liberties of
the damning gunt of having conrmenzed and con

Douglas Democrat to his duty, as to shamo those

to these familiar farewell wordeof the lamented
Douglas: .

question. Every man must be for the foiled States, or
against it. There can be no neutrale-fa this war; only
gatrioia or traitors/’’ [Cheer after cheer.]
Can Douglas Democrats require other induce
ments to duty ? Need I tell them that all the men
who sustained his eourse in 1860, with some disore
ditable exceptions, are now the uncompromising,
and unquestioning friends of the war—that they
are trusted by the President and his Cabinet, and
that they are as eloquent in the council as they are
intrepid in the field? Were l Stephen A. Douglas
living this day—and I speak astone who knew his
inmost thoughts on this great question—he would
be among the foremost ehampions of the whole
policy of Mr. Lincoln's Administration. [Applause.]
We should hear from him no criticism upon our
public agents,, who l have ho! interest save to prose
cute the war vigorously; no demands for leniency
to the traitors;; no lamentations over-the- sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus; no advice to
the people to resist enlistments and taxes, apd no
advice to- his friends to unite with his foes toem
barrass the Government of the country.
As my eye rests upon Ibis vast throng; I recall
many of the scenes of other days, when, in this
luxuriant region, the adopted citizen grewfrom
poverty to opulenoe in Ms efforts to improve the
modern thoroughfares of our noble State. Coming
from-a foreign land, he found, here a welcome and
a home. Some of the descendants of this brave and
brawny race are nodsnbt listening to me to-day.
Many of them are away in the athletic eolumnsof the
Union army,under Hambright, and Welsh, mid Mc-
Carter. Maoy have died in the imminent
deadly breach, and-seme have returned among you
mutilated monnments'of unselfish intrepidity. Side
by side with their. German- brothers, they have
marchsd to victory or to death; the one shouting
the war-song of SohiUer, the ether advancing to the
exhilarating strains of Brin-Go-Bragh. There is
something impressive , in this practical gratitude of
the adopted citizen. How hideous the spectacle of
an Irish or German, traitor V [Cheers.] If a native
born recreant is entitled to infamy, what must be
thought of him® who, havinggiown to wealth en the
generous bosom of this country, should seek to take
the life he was apesially sworn to defend ?
Have you ever, fellow-country men,
upon the signal evidence of the loyalty of our
adopted citizens,.that there is not an Irish or a
German generab in the rebel army ?-' [Great .ap
plause,] What more significant protest could be ’
altered against the bloody ritual of treason ?' There
tone Meagher, or,Shields, or Mulligan or Coreo- '
ran, or O'Brien—no Sigol, or Blanker, or Schura.
under the flag of the rattlesnake and scorpion. - .
Why is this?' It is because the traitors fear to
trust, ohr.adopted citizens.in .the lead. - They drive
the Germans and Irish at the point'df the bayonet
into their ranks, but when they want leaders they
select from their slave-drivers and aristocrats, who
look upon labor with oontempt, and. hold their
soldiers as we de our damb ,beasts, as so much-cat

coao; ive that wben the despotic designs 'of the
tjaiiors are confirmed by the intrusion of the
azmies of Great Britain or of France, or of both
together, there will be a new rapturein the strife;
a new motive to make it desperate and decisive,
and a new opportunity for the development of
onr natichalmaiihood. [Cheers ] Let us,be frank,
Mr. President. The royalties of the old world are
holding a carnival. The very last speech of Lord
Palmerston, and the very lasfleader of the London
Timis,' which arrived on Thursday, admonish us
that tiiey are preparing to take a part ia the sfcrug
, gle. Their fleets are hanging like clouds upon
two of our frontiers, and toe English Premier is
making “impressive and warning speeches" to- -
the, volunteer -riflemen in, Hyde Park, 'This
prospect must not discourage us, Mr. President.
If we are to fight this great-battle against, do
mestic slavery anil foreign despotism, why sq be.it!
Wiih all our advantages, living as we now do upon
dursslves; borrowing from each other, and in'dbbt
only to each other, with a soMaa prolific as toe Gar- -
den of Eden; may we not for a higher and a holier
purpose emulate that seif-sacrificing spirit which -
was exhibited by the French people in the most
feirful period of their extraordinary history? When'
they entered upon the work of reforming the
abuses of eenturies. of corruption .and tyranny
they found arrayed against them too sentiment
of the European world, toe prejudices of an Eng
lish king, and toe keen, unsordpulous intellect
of the greatest of English Prime Ministers. They
found an insurrection of the aristooraoy ia La
Vendee—they found disaffection and treason among
all classes. Rising to the sublimity of Spartan he
roism, they crashed treason at' home, and, with
bleeding feet snd famished forms, and no weapons
but the pike, they resisted invasion and saved the
honor .of their oonntry. The insurrection was,
crushed—the o*d tyranny was destroyed—and the
sword Of a Republican general, in a spirit of magni
ficent revenge, punished thejperfldy of his foes with

torian states that noless than twenty thousand
persons perished in the shock. In the midst
of this fearful convulsion the slaves, whom the
oruelty of Sparta had nursed inher bosom, resolved
to seize the moment to execute their vengeance and
consummate her destruction. Now was the mo
ment when Sparta lay in ruins—now was the
moment to realize their vengeance. From field to
field, from village to village, the news of the earth
quake became the watchword of revolt. The
earthquake that levelled Sparta rent her chains.
Nor did the shook create one chasm so dark and wide
as that between the matter and the slave. It was
as if the great mother herself had summoned her
children to vindicate the long-abused, the all
inalienable heritage derived from her, and the stir
of the angry elements was but the announcement of
a stern and solemn union between nature and the
oppressed. Mr. President, the fettered tribes of
mankind may hail the great moral earthquake in
this country as the signal opportunity for their do
liversaoe. And the attdbpi of Earopean despots
to destroy this Government may end In their own
overthrow, and in the disfranchisement of their own
oppressed and down-trodden millions, rlmmense
applause] L
At the conclusion of this speech. Colonel Forney
was greeted with nine cheers. Before retiring from
the stand a note was handed to him, which lie thus
ajluded to:.
A note has just been presented to me, which I
will refer to, at, the risk of speaking after having
finished a speech. It is a tribute to the patriot
daughters of your glorious old oily and county.
[A voice—Three cheers for the patriot daughters
of Lancaster.]
The ■windows of the houses surrounding the
square were crowded with fair ladies, smiling down
upon the crowd, and the oheersthat rose in re
sponse'to the call fully shewed'that the patriot
daughters of Lancaster were appreciated by her
gallant sons. .

tended compliment, hut the cheers you have given
are so much better than anything I could say, teat'
I rest here. [Laughter and applause.] -
SPEECH -OF MOHTON M’SUCHAEL, ESQ.
- Mr. MoMichael was next’ introduced to the meet
ing. and was cordially received. He said:
I came here to-day, my friends, in the hope of
addressing you, but|since Ijhave reached your town,
what with the heat, of the weather and previous
predisposing erases,-I find myself so unwell that I
shall be obliged in a large measure to forego my pur
pose. But being here, and standingin the presence
of the men of Lancaster, whom I have so often had
the honor and pleasure of addressing, no sickness,
no bodily infirmity, while I have a particle of voice
left, shall prevent me from saying how glad f am to
see yon here upon such an occasion, [applause,]
how I rejoice in the patriotism that has assembled
yon together, and how I pray, with my whole soul,
with all my heart and all my mind, and all my
strength, that the spirit which animates yon hero
will carry snoh of yon as can go Into the battle
fields of the country, and will prompt those who
caimot go to do ail in their power to aid ns in this oar
hour of extremest peril. [Cheers.] For, my friends,
painful as it is to say it, the oonntry is in peril.
[A voice. “ Take off your coat!”]
Mr, McMichsel. I have been in the habit of
taking off my coat, hut never, of turning it, how
ever. [Laughter, j. lam afraid to take it off now,
bnt shall not wonder if if melts off before long.
[Renewed laughter.] Much as I should like to
smile with you and laugh with you, as I have many
times done on other occasipns, it is impossible, at
this hour, when, as I have said, our country is in
danger. We have been deceiving ourselves, my
friends. Wo have been deluding ourselves with
fond expectations. We have been flattering our
selves that we are strong beyond the possibility of'
any power on earth interfering with ns. We have
been flattering ourselves with the belief that it Wa3
only necessary for us to stretch forth our arm to
eruEh ■ out the great rebellion we have met
here, to deplore and denounce; and we find
ourselves now in such a position that if you,'
thei strong-limbed, stout-hearted men of the coun
try, do not come to the rescue—yes, to the instant
rescue—Sod above only knows , what may happen.
But little more than a year ago, when this conspira
cy was formed, Or rather when if first culminated
in the attack, upon-Sumpter, the whole country
was startled because 75.000 men were eslled for.
We all believed that that number was more than
ample to put down any insurrection that could ever
grow-up within the borders of this Union. We
found at the expiration of a little white how. widely
we had been mistaken. Then 500,000 men were
sent - into the - field, and.. .we thought that
with - that number we would utterly destroy the
' conspiracy that had then assumed the shape of a
Tast rebellion.' We know to-day that we have not
succeeded in doing so. Shis conspiracy which
hue ripened into a rebellion—this rebellion which
has ripened into a war of stupendous, colossal pro
portions—stands face to face With us, and' unless
we crush it it will crush us. I tell you, men of
Lancaster, and I tell you in all sincerity, that if the
Government be not aided with ail the men it asks,
with more indeed'than it has' yet asked, the day
may not be distant when you, who-have up to this
hour reposed in calm security, surrounded by
.peace and happiness, may find, as my iriend,
• Colonel Bbrney, has Just so well said, your own
homes invaded, your own fields channeled by the
hoofs of rebel' cavalry, and your fair and smiling .
farms devastated by the reckless hordes which'fol
low the baseness of Jfeff Davis. [Applause.] £
travelled, this morning, from Phiiadelphia with a
gallant colonel of one of the Pennsylvania regi
ments, freeh from the field at Harrison’s Landing,
and he said, to Colonel Forney and myself, “ For
God’s sake, gentlemen, .when yon address themeat
ing at Lancaster to-day, do not hesitate to tell the
truth. Bo not hesitate to say that, if there be not
at least 600,000 men placed in the field before the
first frost, Pennsylvania will undoubtedly bo in
vaded !” and ■ I believe it. I believe that the foe,
grown insolent by success, and strengthened by a
resort to-all the arts which tyranny oan employ,.,
emboldened and furious beyond all measure,, will,
unless prevented; be upon us, and, believing so, I
coma here to-day, and, in despite of all bodily ail
ments, I stand up now to say, that every man capa
ble of bearing arms, who can leave his home, is
benhd by every obligation of patriotism, by every
obligation of duty, by every obligation he owes to
his country, to his family, and to bis God, to place
himself in the ranks or the American- soldiery.
[Cheers.] Yes, yonng men, let not one of you go
away from here without having formed the resolu
tion that, if you can possibly do so, you wi lgo
and join your brethren who have so manfully and
nobly battled upto this period againstthe pestilence
of the swamps and the swords of the enemy in
Virginia. And older men, those of yoa who have
sons, do not leave this place to-day until you have
resolved that you-will urge those sons, by all the
motives you oan addnee, to give their lives as
others’ sons have given theirs, to the service of
the country—a serrioe, as you have been well told,
snch as no other oonntry and no other time ever
afforded an opportunity to engage in. Just to think
of it; my friends 1" When I came here to counsel
with you, only two short yews ago, peace- reign
ed throughout the bind, prosperity smiled in
all our borders, content was everywhere, each
man reposed under his own vine and fig
tree, and had ample wherewith to feed and
clothe, himself and all those dependent upon
him.' How changed are things-now !: This land,
selected by Almighty God above all other lands on
the face of the earth, above, all other lands upon
whieh the sun ever shone, as the favored reci
pient of His bounties; this land, stretching over ah
interminable continent, embracing within its limits
all the varieties of climate and soil which supply
all the varieties of agricultural and mineral produc
tions ; this land, enjoying political institutions snch
as, in no period of the world’s history, has ever be- •
fore been.vonehsafed to a people ;;this land, thus •
blessed, has been converted from the condition in
which it was two years ago into- a scene of fratrici
eai bloodshed, detestation, ruin, and, in msmy
places,'despair. And by whom has all this been
brought about ? I do not mean to go ihto
any discussions here as to'remoter political causes.
I haveiny own judgment about those, and at the
.proper time and in the proper place Ido not heti
tate freely to declare it;: but I have nothing to do •
with that now. But by whom, I ask, baa this frightful
result befo-e us beep immediately brought about ? .
,By' the Southern, rebels, who have; dragged the
country into oivif war. By the desperate-traitors
who areseekingto overthrow the best government,
whioh the wisdom of man has .ever devised-., And
yet we are sometimes told that' We must deal gra
ciously with them. We are sometimes told that, as <
erring brethren,, wo must win them back by acts of
conciliation and tenderness. I am §ick of ail this
cant. My very gorge rises at it. Yes, my fellow
oitizens, it is this mistaken leniency ': it is this dis
position "to make on our side a rose-water war,
against the bloodiest modes of vengeance that hu
man hatred had Conceived or human fury executed,
that baa lead to.all our reverses. ;If w» do not now’
change our policy, we shall find that, not content
with inviting the most.horrible evllsupon themselves,
they will roll the tide back upon us. and come hero
■ upon the .hitherto., undeseorated soil of our own
Pennsylvania, re-enact the scenes of desolation and
death which have already marked their course in
the States of the South: [Hear, bear.]
My; fellow-eitizens r l find £am very rapidly her
coming exhausted, for upon this subject f cannot
speak without feeling my whole soul passing into
my voioe. I cannot.Bpeak in that cool and eatable
way that would enable me to pontinne as long as I>
might wish, but my whole heart is in’, this oauge,
and if I conld, by laying down my life at this nib-'
ment, save my oonntry, I appeal to myMaker for
the sincerity of my .purpose, when I say.l' would:
cheerfully do it. [Tremendous applause ] lam
almost too old to go to the war, but if it comes: to
me, what I may do shall he done—yes, dohej even

Being too old to go myself, I have sent two sons.

mistskethe men I have been acenstomed to meet
here, if they are notapw prepared, in all ways, by

My friends, the Gtoyernmenthas called for three
hundred thoussnd men. That number will be
wholly insufficient, unless it is very speedily fur
niebed, toa'oeomplishe ven the purpose for wbiohjit
has been asked.. We have to deal with an enemy

lieve ought to be done must be done at om/ now

power of the oonntry , every able-bodied man in it
every dollar in its treasury, every dollar in the
pockets of its citizens, to put down this rebellion if
it be necessary. [Cheers], I would not oare
to survive the day when am United States,
which, for more than three quarters of a
century, have been the cynosure of all nations;
these United States, of which we have been accus
tomed to boast, that in comparison all the re
publics of antiquity, and all the republics of mo
dern times shrank into insignifioanee, should be do
minated by an oligarchy or slaveholders. Heaven
Eant that I may be in my grave before that un
ppy time comeß, if it ever shall come. And it
never can come, and it never shall come, if yon and
the other loyal men of the country are true to
yourselves, [Cheers.]
If I have spoken gloomily, my friends, it is be
cause gloom overhangs ns, bnt I have not spoken
despondmgly, because I feel no doubt in my heart

other loyal men of the country coming up to the
rescue I know we shall triumph, because m your ■
good hearts and strong arms to the power, and with
your aid we shall meet assured success. [Cheers ]
There were, my friends, a number of topics to
which I had purposed briefly to call your attention,
but I find myself unable to do so. There is, how
ever, one upon which' I must say a few words.
Shun, as you would shun a pestilence, all semi
traitors of the North. [Applause ] Shun the men
who profess loyalty while they practise treason.
Avoid them everywhere. Avoid them at the social
board ; avoid them in the marts of business; avoid
them in all public places; for so long as they are
Permitted to exeroise the influence they now exer
cise, just so long will this rebellion be fed and fat
tened by Northern aid. [“That’s true” and
cheers.] Yon must put down domestio foes before
you can hope to put down the traitors in the South.
I do not khopr if there are such men among you.
1 hope not. [Voices—“Yes, there are,” “We
have them here. ”] lam sorry to hear you say so;
but if you have them, and know them, every time
they appear upon your streets, let the slow, un
moving finger of scorn be pointed at them. [Cheers I
Every .time they open their lips for the utterance
of traitorous sentiments ball around you all the
loyal citizens within reach, and, though you do
1 them no harm—be careful not to do that [laagh
ter and applause]—-do not break the peace
for in breaking a head you might break the
peace—[renewed laughter]—join m one hearty,
out spoken gush of contempt for them. [Cheers.]
Little harm as you may think they do, and little
harm as some of themselves may suppose they ac
complish, I know, and all who have had opportu
nities of observing the workings of this rebellion
know, that to no ono source are we more indebted
for the defeats and disasters we have met than to
these Northern sympathizers who convey to their
friends and associates in the South the knowledge
of all we have done and all we intend to do. These
men eat of our bread and drink of our onp,- and
share the protection ol our Government, and yet
they are ready to snatch the bread from our hand,
and to dash the cup from our lip, and to break
down the Government which upholds them by Its
power. Of such as these,! intended to speak, but I
have not strength. I oan only say, shun them,
avoid them, despise them. Do not hurt them, or
evilly entreat them; bat make them keep out of
your way. [Cheers. A voioe, “That will not
stop them ; we must have laws to do it.”] Mr.
MoMichael—My friend says that will not stop
them, that we must have laws to do it. We
have laws, only let us execute them. We have the
law of public opinion. We have the law of social
intercourse. We have a law by which we can isolate
a man In the midst of a neighborhood from all his
fellows. We have that law by which we oan en
circle him ronnd with such a hedge that no re
speotable man will passthrough it-to take his hand.
[Loud cheers.] We must apply such tews. Brand
them; show the world who they are,'mid whenever
they-appear, let them be shunned as you would
shun a mad dog or a.raging fever. [A voioe, “ Four
coal oil on them.” Laughter.]
Mr. McMichaxi,- If it were hot enough it
might have some effect upon them [laughter], but
if my friend Intended to convey the idea that, the
smell of the oil would annoy them, I rather think •
he would find them used to worse'smells than tha t
[Great laughter.] ,
; Let me, after this desultory talk, say a word in
conclusion.- I have come up here for the purpose
of solemnly urging upon you the performance of
your duty in this crisis. _ I have, as I have already
said, full confidence in the final result, and it
is because I have confidence in the' ability and
determination of my fellow-citizens to per
form their dniy to their country. The old
spirit that broke out so gallantly after the
fall of Sumpter is beginning to rovive. From
all points, we are receiving daily and hourly indi
cations that the great heart of the people is once
more being stlrred. Everywhere the masses are in
motion, and before long there wilt be an army with
banners ready to go down and take its place beside
our brethren who have fought so gallantly, struggled
so nobly, and suffered so uncomplainingly, aeoom
pliebing triumphs greater thou the triumphs of arms
m the patriotism and devotion they have exhibited.
[ Great cheering.]
Soon we will send troops to reinforce them, and to
march along with them to assured and certain vic
tory. [Cheers ] Bichmond will be ours, f“lt
begins te look that way,” and tremendous sneer
ing,] and along with Bichmond all that band of de
tested traitors who have brought this trouble upon
us. And God send that when we get them that, in- ,
stead of doing as wehave been doing, instead of re- ’
cognizing them as kinsfolk and brothers, we shall
treat them as foul and infamous traitors, [applause,]
and bang them as high as Human. [“That’s the
talk,” and a storm ofapplanse. j
We must cease making this war upon peace prin
ciples. We mast learn tiiat we arff in a fight re
quiring all onr energies; a fight, in the language
of your resolutions, not only justifying, but de
manding, that whatever you eau do, within the
rules of legitimate warfare, to annoy, harass, and
destroy the enemy, must be done. We must no
longer have any squeamish delicacy about employ
ing black labor. ,Our gallant men must cease
making ditches and building fortifications when we
have thousands of contrabands ready to do such
service. [Cheers. J We must ask no permission
frem their rebel masters, but employ them, and as
a reward give them their freedom. [Cheers.]
My friends, I have never been ah Abolitionist,
[“ sound and , applause,] but lam not afraid of
that name. The time has gone by in which that
bugbear can any longer be nsed to frighten grown
•up men. [Laughter and applause.] It does not
alarm these, bright-eyed young women who- are
now smiliEg upon us, though it may scare a cer
tain elderly lady in breeches who to living out an
inglorious old age some- three or four miles from
this town, [great laughter,], hut it cannot scare
men who know they have the right to think
and act for themselves, who feel that the
defence of a great, country has been con
fided to them, [applause,] and that upon
the manner in which they deport. them
selves in this great crisis will perhaps depend the
whotefnture ofhnman liberty here and throughout ■
the world- .[Cheers]. Such men wiii use the ne
groes just as the negroes can be of the most service,
and will not oare who chooses to call them Aboli
tionists. . [Cheers.] , A voice, Beep them at work.
. Mr- MoMlohael— Yes, we*wiil keep them at work
at whatever they oan do-to leteen our labors and to
promote our interests. [Cheers]. We will use
them, having regard always to humanity—for. God
forbid-that I should here insinuate that we will do
anything ineonsistent'with humanity—wo will use
them in whatever way they can best promote the
sucoess of the cause of this great Union and pat
down this unholy rebellion. [Cheers. ]
I read te one of the papers, this morning, an ad
dress to ;jthe people: of Pennsylvania,: ■ occupying
some three or four columns of the paper in which. I
found it> in which there* was a labored argument
to prove that this great'war in which we are how
engagedjwas brought about by the Abolitionists.
No harm, it argued, bad ever been done by the
delicate gentlemen : of the South. They had never
wronged tthe. Nprtb; . they had never uttered a :
syljable m derogation : of .our. rights;, they had
neves encroached upon our privileges; they had
'never asked-that we should' bow down'before them
:and eoneent t© bo kicked and cuffed ■ for thoir
; fleaahre. Oh, no; they had been the most patient,
:he most enduring, and the most forbearing of all
.men; but:we,-the people of the North, char,
acterized in. this address under the general
term of “ Abolitionists,” we had done all this
mischief. : [Laughter.]]' We had broughfc upon our
selves all these evils,; We were the authors of our
own woes. And what think you was the remedy
proposed to end this way ?: That we should blot
out the Abolitionists—that %. we,, of the North,
should blot-jont ourselves. [Laughter ] For, my'
friends, whatever our opinions may have been on
the question of slavery in’the past, this term Aboli
tionist to now" applied -to every loyal man of the
■ North. [‘-‘.True.”]: I say that the time has’gone
by .when any man who to.aman, who to not afraid
to look his fellow mail in the eye as I now look’iny
venerable friend Dr. Muhlenberg, will shrink from!
•being called an he shrinks back to

. I tell yon the tiniefor duly-dallying and shiliy
' shdUying has gone by. “The time has come when'
yog have got to nerve yourself to fight like men
engaged in a struggle for life or death. It to a
struggle whether slave labor os-free labor shall pre

_ Tbe Cmcte ad CUrum was delivered, on Tuesday. by
Bev ? Mr. Atkinson, of Westport, Conn. At the business
meettog of the Phi. Beta. Kappa Society, Francis Lieber.
bk D., was elected orator for the ensuing year: sub
stitute, Bev. Ed ward "Beecher, D D.: poet, Eev. A. L,
Stone, D. D , of Boston. The Hon. Marshall S. Bid
well, of New Tork, and Bev. Walter dark, of Buffalo,
were made honorary members of the society.
The-Alumni met at nine o’clock on Thursday morning,
rad, as the orator, Wm, H. Xvarts, was absent, tberw
was no oration. Ex-Governor Hoppin presided. Eula
gies were pronounced by Professor Thacher on the lata
treasurer, Mr. Edward C. Herrick, and on Professor
Lamed by Professor Porter. Judge Ellsworth, ex-Go
vern or of Connecticut, offered a resolution calling upon
the Government to use every means consistent with civi
lized warfare to put down this mist stupendous, wicked
add ruinous rebellion known in the history of toe world
Com. Foote, being called for, spoke earnestly in favor of
toe regulation. Dr. Edwin Beecher also spoke for the
resolution, which afterwards unanimously passed.

place on Wednesday afternoon, in their haH. Bev. Mr.
Bobbins, of Philadelphia, and Bev. Dr. Jackson, presi

sided. A great number of speeches were made, and some
on the present times, were received with unbounded ap
plause. That of Cyrus Northrop, editor of the Palla*
dittm* it was said by Governor Hoppin, would be worth’
ten thousand men if it were delivered outside the college
wall.
Small Cftaage.
[From the Sew Tork lodependeat J
The quantity of paper money thrown npon the com-
working its imrritable effect of raimog the price
©f_ specie. There is no power on earth that can control
this, particularly in toe case of gold, which is wanted for
exportation, and which must therefore assume its equal
value in the markets of the world. But our sliver small
coin is net property subject to this universal law, because
it has bef s made of lees intrinsic value than its face, on
purpose to prevent this liability to exportation. No
person buys it for exportation so long as there is gold to
be bad. The apparent scarcity iB therefore owing to its
being bearded, to paDfc, to the unjust refusal of toe
banks to pay it ou« r to the machinations- of petty sharp
era, who make a profit ou& of toe public distress, and
therefore do all in their power to keep up the panic.
The remedy is not simple, and era be only partial, but
.toe severity of the evil can be.greatly mitigated by a
general understanding and a moderate-share of public
spuit among the intelligent portions ef tbe cozmnnnity.
The first, thing to be done Is that every such person
should feel it a matter of duty to keep the small change
a moving. A little coin will go a great way if it is kept
in brisk circulation. But if a great man? people hold on
to what they get, and keep it as long asthey cm, a small
sum in each man’s pocket will absorb toe whole.
There must be an understanding among tradesmen and•
others, who take in a good deal of change, .that they will
pay it out in tbeenurseof business juet aa freely as they
take it In, and wilhnot sell it unless they get more than
they fairly need to use.
The fury companies, the city railroads, and other like •
establifchmeEts must rescind their rules prohibiting the -
paying out of change by their employees, and allow and
ri ftuire each one to give change oolong as he has it t>
giro. It is abominable that such companies con
spire to Increase the evil, in order that they may make a
petty prt fitby selling changeto-the brokers.'
The hanks must understand that their customers have
a right to expect the usual accommodations ia regard to
a reasonable supply of small ehshgei Ami, in' addition,
we believe they may safely give out small change to all
comers,' in f ademption of- their owa small bills, In
amounts not exceeding five-dollarsto one person-, in one
day. It iain thepower of. the-merchants to make the
banks see tha&it is keep the commu
nity supplied uith small change. The needless stoppage •
of tola like closing the pores of the skin, it
tends to consumption, weakness aQ& dissol&rien. Keep ►
the pores open, and you-keep un the power of-endurance
for ah other evils.
Finally r tot .every man set his lace resolutely against
toe circulation of any ablnptoatopa as currency. With
patience and-good foaJtog. amonglus all, these rales wiU
carry us through, and the change panic will lose half ite
terrors, and soon came to an cud. While all the papers,
are setkng a fiscal remedy which is impracticable, our
readers will see that toe true remedy is in the power of
the people. , .
'P. &—The abc&o was-in type for Iret week'aissue, but-,
crowded out forwantofrocm Since toattfms, Congress:
harpea*ed,-?an-ac* givteg legal Gurreucy to postage
stewpe, as a subetimte fo* specie change. Weathers to.
our former counsel The device cJ stamps for currency
ishtdged aboat with-so. many diScultiea feat we do.nofc
believe It will* answer toe purpose, and may aggravate,
the evil. Tbs stamps Am: currency are not to be Issued
by toe Post dfftceDepartment, hut by, toe UnitedStstes.
Treasury; toey are not to ho sold for currency by the.
postmasters-at all. bat only by special agents of the Trea
sury ; and the stamps used for currency are not unable,
for postage purposas. Theonly remedy is, that all hands,
keep cisoulating all toey get, and then insist that the.
hanks, femes. As.,-shall pay out all toe change they take,
in. Wb can and must have specie change.
