TifE War. ‘ !
“Actions speak louder than words," is an axiom
for war as well as peaoe times. We hays hoard a
great deal of the extraordinary strength of the
rebels in Virginia, and even after their recent im
mense losses on the battle-field and by siokness, we
are told that tho rebel army outnumbers our own
three to one. We say such statements are made,
but the notions of tho rebels do not substantiate
these reports. If the rebels had 350,000 men
about Kiobmoud, they could have launched aforoe
of 200,000 against McClellan in his recent retreat
across tho Chioknhominy, and yet it appears that
they did not even harass his rear-guard with a
regiment of cavalry. At the same time they could
have given Stonewall Jackson a column of one
hundred thousand men at least to operate against
Pope's army in Virginia, and yet they only gave
him 30,000, at most. With all this, a large army
of 50,000 men would have remained as a reserve
in and about Richmond. The truth is, either,
the . rebel force around the rebel capital has
not numbered over 150,000 men since the bat
tle of Malvern Hill, or else a heavy column
has been sent to tho Southwest for active
operations there. It will be discovered in the
oourso of time that the South cannot now, and
n;ver could, raise the number of men actually re
ported to be under arms in the Cotton States—that
she cannot arm and support them in the field.
Beauregard has acknowledged a loss to his army of
the Mississippi of over 50,000 men, from sickness
ami Datuo, m-..-. dying for want df
proper surgical treatment,
.roatmem, w» - ,
,o»v_ .'otomao and sickness
feiirful baroo in the rebel ranks at Rich
mond. The rebel loss on the Peninsula was al ways
much greater than our own, because we acted
generally upon the defensive and wero attaoked,
and beoause of the superiority of our arms and
men, [and the superabundance of our destructive
artillery. In riow of these facts, together with
the size and rapidly increasing proportions and
efficiency of our armies, under hoped-for good
management in the future, we shall bo enabled to
overwhelm the Southern traitors, and cause the
bogus Confederacy to pulvorate away like a Vir
ginia blaek corn fungus under a stiff autumn
breeze, within the space of nine months.
TITE NEWS.
Our foreign news by the steamers Glasgow and
Anglo-Saxon, this morning, will be found full of
interest. Tho Times exhibits its ignorance of
American affairs again by speaking of the raid of
the rebels into the State of Ohio, and tho refusal
of the peoplo of that great State to rise and de
fend tbemsetvcß.
■ -.lt is said that no loss than twenty full regiments
of volunteers*' from Now York, New Jersey, and
the New England States jvillpajß through this oity,
on route for the seat of war in Virginia, during tho
Doming week; A battalion of regulars will also
pass through this oity to-morrow.
Our extracts from late Southorn newspapers
will bo found highly interesting. General Jack
son’s official despatch of the battle of Slaughter’s
mountain is extremely rich and cool. The Peters
burg Express, the only “ independent ” newspa
per ever established in the South, grows hopeful
over recent events.
' The decline in tie price of specie has been tem
pororily arrested by the demand for ready money
for fall business. The market for gold closed dull
yesterday, with quotations at 1141.
A long lottcr from our sp-oial correspondent
with Gen. Curtis’ army gives a ful epitome of the
war news in Arkansas. Our next letter will, no
doubt, contain full partioularß of tho lato battle on
‘the 'White riFer, between Ilovey’s division and
Hindman’s rebel army, of whioh we have-published
some particulars by telegraph.
, Our lett-r from Gon. Burnside’s corps d’armee
of the grand army of Virginia alludes to an imme
diate movement of that entire army, and the immi
nence of at other battle in that region inorensos
hourly.
Another stringent order is about to be issued by
the War Department, directed at newspaper oor
respondtins and other civilians. All are to bo ex
cluded from the army hereafter, and not allowed to

Our oiiizei.a mill be pleased to hear of the re
lease of the gallant Colonel John K. Morphy, of
the 29th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers.
, Another monster war meeting is to be held in
flew York oity in a few days. Every effort is
being made throughout the country to £ll the State
quotas without drafting.
One hundred and fifty of our officers who have
been imprisoned in North and South Carolina have
■just been released by the rebels. Many of them
will no doubt take command in the now regiments
.that are raising. .
• Tiib nows from tho Southwest is not growing any
favorable to tbs Union cause. Hartsriile,
/Tennessee, has been oaptured by the rebels, and
Forts Donelson and Henry are threatened.
. Fbom the Southwest, we have the official report
of the bandit Morgan, covering his entire opera
tions during : is late raid, which will form a black
page in the history of the war. Let us hope that
in this report Morgan has written his own death
'warrant.

Tenth district of Ohio met at Toledo, on Tacsday,
and nominated Mr- R. Waite for Congress. There
will also be another Union Convention, at the same

'present able and patriotic Representative of the old
Fifth district,
< The harvest was progressing in the south of
England, at thq,last accounts, and it was considered
that, if the weather continued fine, there would ba

It is stated that the French Counoil of State is

The Meeting on Saturday.
The promised meeting of tho Breckinridge
Democracy, on Saturday afternoon, is exciting
mttoh attention. People are asking why sneh
a meeting should be held at this time, or, in
deed, why any meoting should bo held whose
purpose is to discourage enlistments and em
barrass the Administration? We are told that
this meeting will “ denounce Abolitionism,
and “sustain' the Constitutionhut when
Abolitionism is understood to mean such loy
alty as that of Corcoran and Wilcox, and tho
Administration is sustaining tho Constitution
by the bayonet and sword, wo can see no ne
cessity for such assemblages. Its way of
meeting is very offensive. Aid-de-Camp
Huohkm took painß to invite what he calls a
“collision of forces,” by asking bis followers
to come prepared to “ assert their’rights,” or,
in plainer English, to come armed; and every
.effort has been made by the disloyal momb-rs
of this abandoned Democratic organization to
create a riot or a disturbance of the peace.
We have received abundant evidences of this
'determination on the part of tho leaders, and
from what we know of the men they are des
perate enough to carry their designs into exe
cution.
We sincerely hope that no provocation will
be given to these bad men. Lot this meeting
be held. If its leaders are disposed to talk
treason, I t them do 50.,, They will be watch
ed by our authorities, and if they offend any
law they will bo punished. It is not for us to
enter into any dispute with them —above all,
.to do anything that may lead to a street riot
or an infraction of the law. Not many mon'lis
ago, the men who are prominent in this meet
ing, and who now meet to “assert thiir
rights” and avoid a “collision of forces,”
were prominent in a movement toinob lyceutn
lecturers who differed from them in sentiment.
The recollection of those disgraceful proceed,
ings is fresh in tho mernqry of all, and we
should bo as prudent in dealing with thoir
authors now as we were when they threw
vitriol over women and children, and attempt
ed to commit violence on a popular speaker.
Garibaldi in the Field.
There is a prospect of Italy again being in
volved in war, and, if Italy, of Europe soon
-being in battle array. Garihaum has actually,
-raised the standard of civil war in Italy. De
termined not to wait for the slow action of
diplomacy, he has rallied around him, near Pa
lermo, a regiment of 800 volunteers, the nu
cleus of an array with which he proposes to
attack Home. This is a small force, but ho
had not more than 400 men when he quitted
Genoa, in 1860, for the conquest of Sicily and
Naples—an object-winch he achieved. Tioioa
Emmanuel has issued a wait-awhile Proclama
tion warning peoplo not to be led away, but to
trust that, when the time earner his own voice
would make itself heaTd, and that every other
summons is that of rebellion and civil war. It
would sooiu that Garibaldi’s timo-pieco is
considerably faster than Victor Emmanuel’s.
At any rato, Garibaldi treats the King’s pro
clamation with magnificent contempt, and by
this time is raising an army in Naples, with
the view of proceeding against Romo. Tho
issue oi his action, wo must say, appears
doubtful.
It is impossible to determine, as yet, whether
Vicron Emmanuel has relinquished the idea
of annexing Romo to his dominion, for he ap
peared to dicountenance Garibaldi’s move
ment of 1860 against Sicily and Naples, but
immediately profited by its success. At pre
sent, however, there is this difficulty: he was
lately recognized, by Russia and Prussia, as
King of Italy, on condition of his promising
not to attack Venetia or Rome, and it was said
that France and England joined in a guarantee
that he would observe this condition. There-
, - a uxui,
any hostile action of Garibaldi’s against
Rome, he must incur the displeasure not only
of Russia and Prussia, but also ot England and
France. This is a serious contingency.
In effect, should Garibaldi proceed to
carry out his extreme views, and he has
chosen a very untoward time for the- attempt,
he virtually becomes a .Rebel against the
authority of Victor Emmanuel, his sovereign,
lie who, in 1860, annexed Sicily and Naples
to that sovereign’s dominions, will now be
come his chief difficulty—for it will be hard
to convince Russia and Prussia tliat ViOToa
Emmanuil has no complicity in this now ex
pedition of Garibaldi. A largo force may
ultimately gather round Garibaldi, provided
that he escape the French and Italian war
vessels sent to prevent his crossing from
Sicily to the Kingdom of Naples. Once on
the continent, he can march on for Rome,
with as few obstacles as Napoleon encoun
tered in 1815, when he had his ovation from
Cannes to Paris. If successful, it is doubtful
whether the great Powers of Europe would
permit Victor Emmanuel . to dispossess the
Pope and make Rome the capital of the
Kingdom of Italy. •
Virtually, Garibaldi’s expedition against
Homo would be against the Emperor Napo
leon also, whose troops garrison the Eternal
City. Garibaldi’s spoechoe have lately held up
Nai>oleon to hatred and contempt, scom and
ridicule. Whatever Napoleon’s shortcomings
may have been, the present independence and
nationality, of Italy wore mainly achieved
through his aid, and Garibaldi has shown
ingratitude as well as bad taste in uttering
such hostile and vulgar tirades. If Gari
baldi should march against Rome, he may ex
pect there to meet more French soldiers than
he reckons on, for Napoleon, with his wonted
energy, will augment his garrison there. If
war be now commenced in any part of Europe,
it will spread, like wildfire, over the continent.
Under such a contingency, European interest
in American affairs cannot fail to become a
secondary consideration.
Pennsylvania,
The intelligence from Harrisburg will be
read with pleasure. It will be soon that Penn
sylvania is doing nobly. Governor Curtin
writes to friends in this city that tho enthu
siasm of tho people throughout the State is
unprecedented in the history of tho war. It
even surpasses the patriotic devotion mani
fested during the Fort Sumpter crisis. Men
of all classes, and from all parts of tho State,
■are forming in the ranks of war. Now men
are going into the fray; - men who had interests
to protect and families to raise, and who were
kept out of the contest by home, associations,
and kindred. The additional danger in which
we live, however, demands from them every
sacrifice, and they are boldly and bravely
doing their duty. In massing these troops
and sending'them to the war Governor Curtin
has shown a woudcrful degree of energy. He
has labored untiringly, and with a determi
nation to kocp Pennsylvania as she has been—
always in advance in every good and noble
work. ■ ■
Wendell Phillips and the Union
■Wendell Phillips, Esq., the well-known cham
pion of the Abolitionists in this country, has written
along letter, under date of August 16,- to the New
York Trillin*, defining his position, and denying
many charges that have recently been laid at' the
door of the “silver-tongued orator of America.”
We quote a few paragraphs of the letter:
“ Allow mo to state my own position. From 1843
to ISSII was a Disunionfst, and sought to break tills
Union, convinced that disunion was the only righteous
path, and tho best one for the white man and the black.
I sought disunion, not through conspiracy and violence,’
but by means which the Constitution itself warranted
and protected. I rejoice in these efforts. They wore
wise and usolul. Snuiptcr changed the whole question.
After that, peace end justice both forbade disunion. X
now believe three things: . ..
“1. The destruction of slavery is inevitable whichever
section continers in this struggle. ,
“2. There never can he peace or union till slavery la"
destroyed.
“3. There never can be peace till.one Government
rules from the Gnlf to the lakes; and having wronged the
nogrofortwo countries, wo owe him the preservation of
tho Ut ion to guard his transition from slavery to free
dom, and make it short, easy, and perfect.
“ Believing these three things, X accept Wobater’s
sentiment, 1 Liberty and Union, now and forever, one'
and inseparable.’ Gladly would I serve that Union—
giving it musket, sword, voice, pen—the bast I have.
Bill the'Union, which has for twenty-five years barred
me from its highest privileges by demanding an oathito a
pro slavery Constitution, Btiil shuts that door in my
face; and this Administration clings to a policy which,
I think, makes every l.fo now lost in Virginia, and every
dollar now apeni there, utter waste. .. I cannot con
scientiously support such a Union and Administration.
But there is room for honest difference of opinion. Others
can support it. To Bitch I say—Go; give to the Union
your best blood, your heartiest support. ‘ ; I
- *<lf the prcsß had not systematically eulogized' a
general, whom none know, and few really trustoi, wo
should have saved twelve months, five hundred millions
of dollars, and a hundred thousand lives. In my opi
nion, had the Tribune continued, last August, to doitß
duty and demand vigor of the Government, you wonld
have changed or controlled the cabinet in another month,
and saved us millions of dollars, thousands of lives, and
untold difgracr. Such criticism is always every think
ing man’s duly. Wsr excuses no man (ram this duty:
least of all now, whan a change of public sentiment to
lead tbe Administration to, and support it in, anew poli
cy, is our only hope of saving the Union. The Union
belongs /to me as mncli as to Abraham Lincoln. What
right bus ho or any official—our servants—to claim that
.1 shall erase criticising his mistakes, when they are
a—«a ! -e iL«,-i7»tou-to-TnrnToT~ii£,a grave fault's in Pre
sident Lincoln; bnt Ido not bolieve ho makes any snoh
claim.
‘•I Bald on tho Ist of August that, had I been in the
Senate, I should have refused tbo Administration a dol
lar or a man until it adopted a right policy. That I re
peat. Bad I been, in that way, a part of the Govern
-ment, I should bave tried so to control its action. Yon
were bound as a journalist, I tbink, to have impressed
that duty on the Republican party, which holds the Ad
ministration. Such a coarse is right and proper under
fr< e Governments Bnt when Ooßgress has decided, and
under its authority, or by his own, the President de
mands soldiers, the honr for such i ffort or protest is gene.
We have no right then to 1 disoourage enlistments,’ as a
means to change public opinion, or to influence the Ad
ministrate n. Our remedy is different. If we cannot
actively aid, we must submit to the penalty, and strive,
meanwhile, to chnnge that public thought which alone
can alter the action of Government.
“That duty I try to do iu my measure. Mr criticism
is not liko that of The Bolton Courier and its kindred,
meant to paralyze the Administration, but to goad it to
more activity und vigor, or to,change the Cabinet. I
claim of yon, as a journalist of broad influence, that yon
resume the poßt which I thiDk you deserted Inst Bummer,
and hasten the ripening of thst necessary public purpose
by constant and fearless criticism of the whole policy of
tbe Administration, civil and military, in order to avert
jeers of war, to save thousands of lives, to gnard tho in
dustry of the futnre from grinding taxes, to secure
sprady and complete juslico for the negro, and to put
the Union beyond hazard.
“Respectfully yours,

The army of the Peninsula is stilt on the move,
and will embark for the new base from various
points, whiob it will be improper for me hero to de
tail. A certain number are now here awaiting
transportation, whioh they will speedily, obtain.
Various rumors are afloat regarding attaeks upon
Booker’s' and Sumner’s divisions by soouting ca
valry parties of the enemy, but none are yet sub
stantiated, and probably. Gen. Sumner 'has been
disappointed in his hopes. Aremark .often made
by army officers is, that “Old Sumner is always
spoiling for a fight.” He seeks one on every oooa-i
sion, and is orusty for a week whenover he misses
it.
It is supposed that the rebels will ondoavor to
make a “ gobble” shortly at Norfolk, for the pur
pose of bagging our force there, with the ammuni
tion and stores, but ibis festive reorealion will be
duly provided against.
I regret to state that considerable marauding
was done along the line of march through tho
Peninsula by straggling parties of troops, wbo
broke the furniture in several handsome vacant
houses, drovo off mules and oattie, stole fowls, and
moreover saoked Charles City Court House, seizing
on old records of two hundred.years back, and
scattering both them and more modern documents
to tho winds.
The boat from Yorktown this morning brought
here Thomas G- Foster, a robot citizen, who had in
his possession a package of letters to' Richmond,
. , , -r ->-«■ pickets. He was ar
rested yesterday near Yorktown, . find ‘
,the roads hero, with, chains on,!*** to

harmless-looking animal of the farmer breed, and
will not, probably, be severely treated. He ap

Colonel Halliday, 99th Now York Regiment, died
here to-day of fever.
A number of officers, recently confined at Salis
bury, N. C., arrived this morning from Aiken’s
Landing, on the James river, having been duly'ex
changed at the same, time with Col. Corooran and
others, who were liberated shortly in advance of
them. From a conversation with Lieutenant W.
T. JBaum, of ibis city, ordnance officer in Hooker’s
division, and others of their number, I learn that
all are highly indignant wir,h the hard fare and un
oourtcous treatment they experienced, though tho
civility of several rebel officers formed exceptions
to the rule. Lieutenant Geo. M; Emaok, of Rel
tonville, Md., was most particularly insulting.
' The i;500 privates of the Union army, still at
Salisbury, are Bhortly expected at Richmond, on
their way here.
Tho returnod officers rode from Salisbury to
Richmond in oattlc oars, drawn, according to
Slave-State principles, by an old engine oi “one
coffee pot power.” * They were three days on the
passage, owing to a breakdown, and would have
been delayed much longer were it not for the en
gineers of the Union steamer, among their number,
wbo repaired damages.
The only d.eath among them was that of Lieut,
Spencer, 3d Wisconsin, who lies buried in a tan
yard. During his dying moments, the officer in
charge enforced the regulation against allowing
lights in the prison after a certain. hour, and
caused the sufferer to oloso his earthly moments in
the dark, while those around were unable properly
to attend upon him 7
Tho Union feeling was reported strong in Raleigh,
though suppressed, and the prisoners were often
given to understand that a certainty of security
only was required to insure a very large manifesta
tion of loyalty throughout North Carolina.
The officers wore accompanied by a black dog,
named Jack, wbo had belonged to tho Ist, Mary
land Regiment, and bad boon in five fights in tho
Shenandoah valley. -He took particular pleasure
in running after fragments of shells, after an explo
sion. During his captivity he would never obey
the call of a rebel, and confined his obedience
solely to Union men.
The severe treatment of Gen. Prince and asso
ciate officers in Richmond is indignantly com
mented upon, and, being without a change of oloth
iug, tbo returning officers supplied their needs, and
also enabled them to hoist blankets, surreptitiously,
to their windows. It is doubtful whether they will
be allowed to retain the gifts.
' Col. Corooran was constaniy offered presents of
money from Irishmen in th: South, whioh he would
not accept, but borrowed sufficient to provide him
self with many comforts. A small excitement was
created, shortly before the prisoners left, by the
shooting, by a sentinel, of a Newfoundland dog of
Col. Gordon, in command at Salisbury, The man
said ho oallod on the dog for tho countersign, but
he would not give it, and insisted on passing. He
therefore shot him. A Union private in Richmond,
hnviDg loaf his log, being sick, and mueh in need
of comforts, begged Capt. Warner, a rebel commis
sary there, for assistance. Warner agreed to sup
ply him if tho man would prick, in Indian ink,
upon the stump of his thigh : “ This is a viotim of
Linoolniam Manassas, July 21, 1861.” - The man
did so, and is now well provided for.
Old Point oontinnes lively with shipping and
constant arrivals. A considerable foroe will remain
both here and throughout the Peninsula, to guard
against emergencies.
I subjoin the list of returned army officers from
Salisbury, including officers from he Union steamer,
wreoked on Bogno Island, near Fort Macon, the
crew of which have returned home :■

[From the Associated Press.]
. Fouthess Monrok, August 19.—Last evening one
hundred and sixty Union officers, who have long been
incarcerated in Southern prisons, arrived at Fortress
Monroe.' They ore from Salisbury, N. 0., and other
Southern prisons, and oamo here via Richmond. Thsy
make bitter complaints of their usage and hard fare.
They left for Washington thiß afternoon by a special
boat, and the following oxtraots from Biehmond-papers
in their possession: .c .
The Biehmond Baiaminei-of.AngUßt 16 says: “Wo
have no newsof interest from tho onomy on .tho south
side. The' Petersburg Express, whose columns for a time
teemed with the very latest from Oity Point and innume
rable other points, now comee to ns with the admission
that ‘wo could learn nothing of the enemy’s movements
on Jamoa.river yesterday.’ ..
[From the Biehmond Examiner, August 16th.]
Two hundred wounded Yankees, who .fell, into our
hands at Cedar Greek, were conveyed to Charlottesville.
The majority of them are said to be too seriously wounded
to warrant much expectation of recovery. l'here:.are
among A
cotoncl has had a leg and an arm amputated. ‘
Tbe same paper, in speaking of the latest foreign news,
claims the etrongest sympathies of France and England.
and, in speaking or the proclamation ef President Lin
coln, anil Congress authorizing him to draft, says:
“ There is an election this fail, and they want to carry it.
They want to draft Democrats. . They will draft them to
prevent their voting. They have the power, and can so
arrange it."
. Gen. Buell ie announced to have hung five respectable
citizens of the Bouth in retaliation for the death or Gen.
McOoois/' " ■ *-■■■ -
- This-is declared to bo a brutal and bloody murder.
Fiendish acts are declared to have been committed on the
people and property in the locality of the attack on Mc-
Cook. General Buell being known as -one of the moat
lenient, of tho Union generals, the fact proves that these
acts of arson and banging emanate from headquarters.
They allege outrages upon widows aud orphans, andupon
the privacy and feelings of women, aud wholesale plunder
aud destruction. It adds: “ Something must be done to
put an end'to this insolence, these grievances, and Un
suiting outrages. Wo havo the subjects upon which to
inflict the terrible retribution. The pnblio mind is con
vinced that unless toll and fierce retaliation is inflicted,
this system of murder and outrage will go on. How can
we hold demons in awe unless we treat them as demons'!"
The same paper, speaking of the oloction in North Ca.
rolina, claims a victory in the election of Vance over
Johnson by 30,000 to 40,000 mujority, and says no impor
tant principles respecting the settlement of the present
war bave been decided, the platform of principles of both
parties being identical.
Old Point Oomfort presents a lively scene, boing orowd
ed with officers of every rank, with a sprinkling of sol
diers, and several hundred sutlers. The harbor is also
filled with steamers and schooners, many of the latter be
longing to tho Butlers. -
OBITUARY.
[We loarn, with sincere regret, firom Fortress
Monroe of the death, at that place, of Col. Halli
day, of the 99th New York State Volunteers,
(Union Coast Guard.) Col. Hailiday was one of
the most accomplished foreign officers in our ser
vice—he was learned in tho art of war, brave,
generous, and faithful. lie was born in Sweden,
and at ttiq time of his death was about thirty,
five years of age. Early in life he entered
the Swedish - navy and distinguished himself
upon several occasions, rising rapidly, until,
unfortunately, a trouble arose between himself
'and a fellow-officer, which resulted in a due), the
result of which was the death of Col> Hailiday’s
antagonist. Resigning his commission instantly, he
changed his name to Hailiday, and, in a disguise,
came to Amorica. When Lieut. Bartlett com
menced raising'tke regiment oalted the Naval
Brigade, Hailiday enlisted as a private, hut by hi's
great talents, education, and military . bearing,
being a remarkably handsome man in form and
feature, he rose rapidly in ranks. When the “ bri
gade” was transformed from sailors to soldiers at
Fortress Monroe; Hailiday was made a captain,
then major, and finaily lieutenant oolonel of. the
Const Guard.- In appreciation of his ability, Gen,
Wool appointed him commander at Fort Wool,
Rip Raps, and the General hdd only one fauit
to find with him, which was that he was too
anxious' to disturb the rebels at Sewell’s Point
against the orders of the Government. When the
attack was made upon that point by the fleet, Colo
nel Hailiday opened with his Sawyer and James
rifled guns, and the vicinage of the rebel batteries
attests, to this day, the superiority of his artillery
practice. With every speoies of art'll ery he was
very familiar, a- d never aimed his gun at an ob
ject without striking it if the piece was truo. He
hasgone to his grave mourned by many friends and
admirers; but, alas! his real name is not known,
and his relatives will neYer know how or where he
died.] >

- At a dinnor party recently a prominent Louisianian
said, in the presence of Bkybrdt Johnson, that with the
latter as Governor of: Louisiana, and General Dix in
place of Butler, tho people would rally, and, through' a
ccnvmtion, bring the State back into the Union. From
this private remark, doubtless, lias risen the rnmor that
Bnch an arrangement is to be consummated. It has no
other basis. •
General Corcoran left Washington at eleven o’clock

General Furnside is here. -
Hon. Reyesdy Johnson, of Maryland, has made his
report to tho Government upon the points in the admi
nistration of affairs in New Orleans he long since went
thither to investigate, and the President has approved his
conclusion. It is understood thst he recommends the
return to tke consul of tho Netherlands of the eight hun
dred thousand dollars seized by General Butler in his
hands; that the seven hundred and sixteen thousand be
returned to the Frenbh consul; also, that a large amount
of sugare and other merchandise be relinquished to tho
Greek, British, and ether foreign merchants domiciled in
Hew Orleans, as, according to Mr. Johnson, these seizures
cannot be justified by civil or military law.
A number of recruits for tho rebel army reached here
fo-dav, and* were imprieoned, tuning been captured by
our cavalry in Maryland,
Another military priron has been prepared. It is a

O. M W6SKNCRAFT, of California.
When the forces of Mejor General Butler were ftltod
out, Ids quartermaster became indebted to some fifty
leading mercantile houses .of New England on thst ac
count. He was rejected -by the Set ate, and another man
took his place, who was instructed to Bend all the ac
counts to Washington fer settlement. This was done.
The mercliaits protested against the cutting downof
their bills, without remedy, for months. Bnt this week
-the merchants app* aled to Senator Bumnee, who came
hither, and having satisfied the Secretary of War of the
(quitable character of the claims, tho latter ordered the
payment of the entire amount—over half a million—a
pi rt of it here and the remainder in- Boston.

Tile Civil War in America. ’ '
[From the London Times, August i ] ■ ;
Another pause seems to bare taken place in the great
American sirttggle. ’ A fortnight ago McClellan and the
Army of the Potomac were stilt encamped on the James
river, under the protection of the Federal' gunboats, and
the general was still receiving reinforcements and writing
“Interesting news” to Washington. As this Interesting
jjews was not of a nature to be communicated to
Europe, we' must conclude that it does not promise
an early... occupation of. the capital of Soot a via: and,
as, the enlistment still continues to be <* somewhat
inactive,” we are' also forced to the belief that
the reinforcements 'are not .more than safTiciont to
sustain the remnant of the' “ besieging” army, and to.
supply the waste created by ono of tho most Unhealthy
positions in which a military force could be encamped.
After six days of sanguinary, contest we have, no right
to be surprised at an interval of inaction, and there is
hothihg in thte fact to aid our judgment as to the ulti
mate fate of the invasion;-Bntdelay is tdwayß prejudicial
to an invader, whose business Is to press on and con
quer. Daily shiploads of wounded aud sickly soldiers
are not symptoms of tho conquer t of a mighty coun
try. That camp oa the James river bids fair to Or to the
North what Sebastopol was to Eussia, and what Spain
was to Napoleon tbo Great—la continuous drain which
draws away-all the strength oftbo distant empire. t ■ ;
. Wenaturally look for some change in the fortunes of
tuck a war as tide Theßuocessesof the Confederates have

kind, to mako tho beam vibrate or, keep up too nau&l see

might have anticipated that the audacious attempt to
invade a Northern Utate would have been promptly ro

Coriftdcrato force is still upon the sacred soil of. Qhio.
The Governor of that free’ Btate is at hte'wits’ ends. The
citizens! eem unwilling tovoluntear oven to resist an in
vader,’ and a proclamation threatening a conscription
has been fotind necessary, even in an invaded State un
donbterly loyal to the Northern Oohfedsracy.
, What has astonished Europe more than anything else
in this contest has been'that no great intellect has yet
come to the surface There him bead bitherto no Crom
well, no Washington, not'even a Garibaldi. : The Sonth
is beginning to, give promise. Beauregard has shown
ft rat py, although bo has not yet exhibited that highest
order of military genius which consists in the oapacity
of ;iß>pro,Ying to themtmost any acquired succobs.. In
“Stonewall*' Jackson, however,,they seem to .have
produced a ‘ great ‘ general of daring enterprise, and
now a certain General Morgan is rising Into fame
as one of; those soldiers, who can not only use armies,
but who can create them. , These are the men for such
a war as this, and a* people who can produce snch gene
rals atnoodinay.well look.forward to ultimata victory.;
McClellan, on the other hand, has been neither fortunate'
nor enterprising; he niay.ba a man of great science, but
he is not a mau of military genius. The Northerners, in
their disappointment, turn away from their young,Na
poleon, and transfer their confidence to General Halleck,
who'ia how. as it seems, tho oommander-ia-ehief of the
Federal armies; Mr; Lincoln; must; be very desponding
or very sanguine when be makes snch a change. Halleck
has been both beatenand ouVgeqeraHed by Beauregard.
At Pittsburg Landing he waß saved from annihilation
only by the timely arrival of his gunboats, and at Oorinta
be was befooled by Beauregard, who disappeared like a
mist, and left General • Halleck robbing his eyes and
looking in vain for his foe. If McOlellan is not tho Na
poleon we thought him to bo, neither can we think that
Halleck is tbe coming man.
‘ As already announced, Parliament was prorogued on

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
My Lords and Ckntlemen : We are commanded by
her Majesty to release you fromfartherattenaance in

Her Majesty commands us to inform you tint her' rela

and that her Majesty, trusts there is no danger of any
disturbance of the peace of Knropo. The civil war
which has some lime been raging among the states of
the Horth American, Union has unfortunately continued
with nn&bated intensity, and the evils with which it has
been attended have not been confined to the American
continent,hnfher Majesty laving, from the outset, de
termined to take nopartinthe contest, has seen no rea
son to depart from the neutrality to which she has steadily
adhered. Disturbances have taken place in some of the
frontier provinces of the Turkish Empire, and her Majes
ty has instructed ber.ambassador atTlonstahtiaople to at
tend a conference to bo held in that city , by the repre
sentatives of the Powers who were.parties to the treaty
of Paris in 1856. Her Majesty trusts that the ques
tions to be dealt with, in the conference will be set
tled in a manner consistent with the treaty engagements
of the Allies, and in accordance with the Tights of tho
Sultan, and the welfare of the Christian inhabitants of
his dominions. Her Majesty’s forces in China, together
with those of the Emperor of the French, have been em
ployed in co-operating with those of tho Emperor of
Cbinai in protecting acme of, the chief seats of British
commerce in China, from injury by the war, which is
laying waste portions'of that vast empire; Her Majesty,
commands ns to inform: you that she has concluded a
treaty, .with the King ol the Belgians,, by
which the trade of her Majesty’s subjeots in Belgians will
be placed generally on the footing of tho most favored
caticn.
gQßSTiiiytKK’pF Tiia Hoosb op Commons: Her Majesty

the service of .the present year, and her Majesty thanks
yon for having also made provision towards placing her
Majesty's docliyaid and amenais in a permanent state of
defence.' ■■■■ ■ ■ , ,r ■
Mr IOBM and. Gentlemen : : Her Majesty , com
mands us to express to you the admiration with which
she has : witncssid tho undiminished > zeal and the
patiiotlc spirit which continue to animate her vo
lunteer forces, as well as the military efficiency which
they have’gained. Her Majesty has obsirvod with satis
faction,the kindly intercourse ...w.oleh has subsisted be
tween her Majesty’s subjects and the numerous foreigners
who have been attached'thiß , year in the United King
dom, and her Majesty trusts that the interchange of mu
tual. courtesy wilt strengthen the foundation of interna-,
tional friendship and good will. Her Majesty has given
her ready assent to an act for carrying into effect ttte
treaty which her Majesty haß- concluded with the Presi
dent of the United States for the suppression of the stave
trade, and her Majesty trusts the co-operation of the
United Urates navy with her own navy will go far to ex
tiDgnhb the crime against which that; treaty is directed.
Her Majesty earnestly hopes that the steps which have been
taken for rendering more effectual the aid provided by
Parliament for the extension -of education among the
poorer classes of her subjects will tend to promote this
great object of' great national importance. Her Majesty
has given her willing assent' to many mea ures of/public
utility which you. have submitted’to her during this
sesion. '. The severe distress which ..prevails.in some
of the manufacturing districts has inspired her Majesty
with deep concern and warm sympathy, mingled with ad
"mirationof the manly endurance and exemplary fortitude
with which the pressure has been endured. Her Majesty
trusts that the act for enabling the Boards 6f Guardians
to provide additional means of relief will mitigate that dis
tress. The act for, rendering more easy the transfer of
land will add to tho value of real property; will make
titles more simple and secure, and will diminish the ex
pense attending purchases .and sales. The act for the
better rtgelation of parochial assessment will tend to the
more equal distribution of taxation, while the act for the
better administration of-the highway will, her Majesfy
trusts, be the means ; of communication ie many parts of
establishing an unit rmity of
Uoights and taeistfres lit mu appiy a retnuuy
ts inconveniences which have been tnnoh felt'and
complained of, as affecting the trading transactions in
that part ofthe,United Kingdom, and the act for amend
ing the law relating to the poor, win extend to the poorer
classes of herMajeety’a subjects in Ireland farther meads
of obtaining relief and medical attendance. The aot for
the better regulation of merchant shipping, her Majesty
trusts; will prove advantageous to the maritime com;
mere* of the country. In returning to your several
counties, you will > till have important duties to perform.
Her Msjesty urgently prays that the blessing of Almighty
God may assist yonr efforts, and direct them to the at
tainment of the object of hsr Majesty’s.constant solici
tude—the welfare and happiness of her people.
GARIBALDI AND IT ALT.
THE KINO’S PROCLAMATION. - -
The following is the official text of Victor Emmanuel’s
proclamation against Garibaldi’s new movement, issued
on the 3d or August:
■ltalians ! At the moinout when'Europe renders ho
mage to the wisdom of the, nation, and recognizes its
rights, it is painful to see inexperienced and misled youths
forgetting tbetr duty and the gratitude due to our best al
lies, putting forward as a signal for war the name of Borne
—that name towards which all our efforts have been tend
ing. Faltbfnl to the Canttiiution sworn by me, I have
held aloft tho flag of Italy, rendered sacred by the blood
and iglorious by the, valor of my people, who will not
fellow, that which violates the laws, and gives a severs
blow to 'liberty aid, to rue security of the country,
by constituting' itself the judge of its,’aesttbyj lta-'
liana, be on yout guard against culpable acts of impa
tience and imprudent agitation. When the hour of
accomplishing' our great work shall' have itruck, the
voice of lour-Kiug will make itself heard amongst you;
Every, invitation to risg which does not proceed from hint
is an appeal to revolt and to civil war. The responsi
bility of each conduct and the severity of the law will
fall eff those persons who do not listen to my . word. As
a King acclaimed by the nation, ,1 am well aware of my,
duty, and I shall know how to preserve in its integrity’
the dignity ot the Crown and the power of the Parlia
ment, sp as to have a right to demand from Europe foil
and entire justice for Italy.

On the same day Garibaldi itsnod the following procla
mation calling upon the youth of Italy to rise:
■< Young Comrades: The holy cause of onr; country

going, with smiles upon, your lips, yon have hastened

only of Providence tdpreserve me your confidence. I
can promire nothing but toils and trouble, but confidently
rely upon 3 efo self-denial: t for well do I know you; oh!
mutilated remnant of glorious battles! It is unnecessary
to ask of yon bravery in the fight; but I must ask yon
to preserve discipline, without which no army can exist.
The Biimans, by their discipline, were enabled to become
the masters of the world. Strive to gain the affectisns
of the people, as you knew how to do in 1860, as welt as
the esteem of our valiant army, in order to bring about
the unity of the country.. Upon this occasion, also, tho
brave Sicilians will be; the forerunners of the great desti

GARIBALDI TO THE MATRONS OP HOME.
Tbe,/f«K« publishes an address, from some of. the Bo
man'iadies to Garibaldi,' in which they say that' ‘ Borne
may now be called the land of the dead,’' hnt that they
look for deiiveraaceto Garibaldi. The following is Ga
ribaldi’s reply:
‘‘Homan Matrons: Borne or death! I, have heard
these words roßdnnd'from the lovely elopes of Sebeto to
the piled up rocks qf Jte Alps, , Borne or death! That is
the oath taken by the ptond sons of Paleetro and Palermo.
Women I do by "eallfng Borne the laud of
tho deed.- Bow could tlioro bo death In the heart of Italy,
in the heart of .the world '{ The ashes of Borne, the asaes
of her unhappy'sons have been buried.-'biit these ashes
Are so (impregnated with life os to be able to regeherate
the world; Boms is a word .that wilt aronse.psoples as

grandeur! Was it not its history of giants, its wonderful

beautiful, the arfor of generous designsl Borne! oh,
Borne! who is not urged by thy very name to lake arms
for thy deliverance?' Who feels not thus has notde
served the tender embrace of, a mother, the ardent kiss
of a lover.' Snob a one has only to restore a base heart
to its original clay, ladles, lam with you to death ” ,
GARtBADDI AHD THE HUNGARIANS.
A correspondent of the Brusssls Independancc con
firms the report that Garibaldi has issued at the same
time a manifesto to the Sclaves, which would seem to
indicate, if bis language is to be interpreted literally, that
it is in tbatauarier he is to attempt an expedition. The
manifesto of the .Italian patriot is said to ,bo almost
eauivaient to an appeal to the Hungarian people to rise
in insurrection. ; : :■ ; ; , -

informed of them, hut it hides its knowledge under the
most abeolule secrecy. A great number of troops have
- left few the south. In a word, we can see here the move
ment which baa always preoeded the great crisis of Italian
revolution.”
- The corrected report of; Ratazv.i’s Bpeech in the Italian
Parliament contains this passage:
;; ‘‘.General Garibulf i has not given tho kingdom‘ot Italy i

and ha has fleae so by bis programme: ‘ Italy and Victor

wants to Spink in the name of the country, and endanger ’
by bis acts the fate of the nation, then General Garibaldi,
shall fail under the stroke of the law- For my part, I
am convinced that the words of the King, whom he has
always respected, willTeonvinoe him that he has not the
right to do what-be dees. I am, therefore, fall r con

the citizens of Baltimore this evening, at the Butaw

welcome him to tho city..
A large number of Irish citizens also called, to whom
General Corcoran mtrie' perionol appeals to arouse their
countrymen at Baltimore to rally, to the standard of the
Union.: He.consented to address the peopie to-night, at
Monument Square, and the front of the coact house was
beautifully decorated and illuminated for the occasion.
Mayor Chapman presided, and introduced GetierriOor
coran, who was received by the-immense assemblage,
nearly filling Monument Square, with long and repeated
cheers.' - : •
SPEECH OP GENERAL CORCORAN
General Corcoran retained thanks for the-ehthnsiasiß
of the reception, which he attributed rather to the glo
rioas cause in which he was identified than to; any
personal merits He then proceeded to give an ac
count of his imprisonment, and detailed a number of in
cidents of outrages committed at Richmond, Cnadeston,
Columbia, and Salisbury He described the prison at
Salisbury, which contained three-hundred Union citi
zens. AtnoDg.them he found a number of Irishmen, who
had refuged to fight under any, other dag'than that to
which they had sworn allegiance on their arrival ini this
country. Their treatment was more brutal than that of
the military, prisoners, and among them were old gray
haired keen, bowed down with suffering and sorrow, but
firm in their allegiance. , -The denths among them have
averaged two a day for the last six weeks.
» ,He appealed to all who loved the: old flag and hated
tyranny to rally with him to the succor and relief of
those suffering martyrs; He gave a graphic description
of the condition of Eichmoud under the role of tha arch
fiend and traitor, Jeff Davis, and declared that liberty
ho longer existed there, and would never be'vouchsafed
to the people until the old flag was rest-red. The streets
presented a moat deserted and sorrowful condition. So
able-bodied man dared walk on the streets unless“pro
vided with a military pass, and all that was to bo soon
on its thoroughfares were jaded- and ragged soldiors,
and women and children drested in mourning.
If any of his hearers sympathized with Hie rebellion it
was only necessary for them to see what he had seen to
drive all such feelings from their hearts. 1 He verily be
lieved that no finch tyranny and oppression existed on
the face of the. earth as the despotism of the Southern
Confederacy.
H« concluded with a strong appeal to his countrymen
of Baltimore, who be could not bolioTe were disloyal to
the country that gave them freedom, liberty, and citi
zenship,“to rally to the support or the Government in
crushing the rebellion. *
He was followed in eloquent speeches by Bi chard
o'-Gotm*n, Michael Connelly, and Councilman Stophen
son, of New York.

SPEECH OF EDWARD G. WEBB, KiQ.
Fin. low- citizens or every shadb op POLITICS: When
the liberties of bur country are in danger from the rnthioss
assaults of a pampered and intolerant Southern aristo
cracy, it would be criminal in any one to draw offensive
distinctions between polities! creeds, whore all are pa
triotic; aind loyal;: except the baffled leaders of a traitorous
faction. Who can doubt the loyalty of the masses'!. Let
the forty thousand gallant spirits that have volunteered
from onr city alone: to defend: the nation attest the deep
sincerity of their motives. let the two hundred thou
sand finally patriotic citizens of our State who are now
prepared, and preparing to fight .the battleß ofthoße
public against all assailants, confirm the righteo.osness
of our cause. Ifjl understand the of,this* large
and respectable meeting: rightly, It is for the purpose
of giving our earnest support to the Government of
the, United, States in its righteous,efforts, to .suppress
the most: atrocious—because the most unprovoked—re
bellion that ever had a place in the history of mankind.
The down-trodden people: of Europe have repeatedly
risen in rebellion to acquire tho natural rights which we
in the free States all possess.; I* was the only-remedy
for the evils under which they groaned for centuries.
Can you find an instance like the present, where the ab
solute rnlerß of the country for more than Beventy years
have rebelled against , themselves and the work of their
own hands ! There is no such other anomaly in human
acliOLH in ell the-records of time. . Hothing but tbe
blasting influence of ; slavery could bave so depraved the
hearts, or. perverred . tbe minds of'men. What epoch of
modern bistory is bo pregnant with good or evil to man
kind -BB -tliat which is; now Upon our nation !: liberty
and slavery are on their trial ; not tho negro alone, but
the: mind 'and body of the laboring- white,man'are the
matters at issuer "You all know that white labor in the
South is the badge of degradation.: :We have been told
by one of the ablest, Senators from South Carolina, on
the floor of tho Senate, that we are the mudsills of so
ciety, simply because labor and traffic are our vocations:
and for this sob, reason, notwithstanding our intellectual
and moral superiority, wo are held by them as an inferior
raceo!mortals. : " r ;r:
Among' freemen, labor is dlgnittrd, because from it
springs the wealth of nations. Were the South to pre
jail in this contest, what would become of your spacious
.e^oQLb/niaeaJTOiUhflJbJindicd.tbjOnsJvniltnf.fihiliJren-n'ho
are now receiving that mental an<Kmoral\instruction
which will analify them for rulers of the nation in after
hfo 1 The school-houtcs would probably be converted
into establishments for the, manufacture of negro cloths
and cotton and the rtide'skill of the negro slave
be substituted for the intelligent labor of the white man,
while the scholars wouldße scattered broadcast over the
land, to, llve’in penury and degradation, as has long been
the lot of the poor and illiterate whites of the South.
Slavery has always been aggressive. It must, of ne
cessity, ho diffusive, in order to sustain itself. Uircnrn.
scribe its limits, and it will soon perish of its own ple
thora. ■
Two-thirds of the Southern white people are unable to
read and write. These have no more,voice iu ihe affairs
of Government than the slaves upon the plantations.
They havelbut two classes In society—the rich and the
poor—and the Eocial chasm between the two is as wide
end deep as that between the master and his slave. The
Southern traitors boast ihat the strength of " their rebel
lion lies in the consolidated effort they can make through
the enforced labor of their negroes. * As this la acknow
ledged to be the chief source of their power, the same in
strumentality ? ehould .be consolidated against them, if
thCTe be no other means of suppressing the rebellion.
Becoilect, fellow-citizens, * that this Government was
not instituted for' the people *albne who inhabited the
territory of the United States at the formation of the
Union, Alt the dwellers upon the face of the earth were
invited to our shores, to share with us the'blesaings of
liberty wrung from the oppreisor. .
One of the leading charges iu the Declaration of Inde
pendence ag uußt George the Third, was that he endea
vored to ipreTent the population of these States by ob
structing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners,
and refused to paes others for the encouragement of emi
gration. The door to preferment has been thrown wide
open to the native of Europe alike with the native of the
United-; States, with the. single exceptant of the office of
President. Every citizen and every man who intends to
become a citizen is eanolly interested in the preservation
of Use Union. r There is more Irißh blood in the veins of
our people at this day; than flows in the veins of Blithe
.inhabitants of Ireland Neither Austria proper, nor
Prussia Within her German limits, possesses as much
German blood as is contained in the veins of the people
or those'United - >
Pf hose cum try and whose institutions are we then
called upon to defend 1 Every inhabitant of the Union
has the same vital-interest; ta' v crashing the present re
bellion,and should give the utmogtof Ms steal and means
to bring it tew speedy conclusion., Do not be cajoled by
the hypocritlcEd cry of rigldtadherenco to the provisions
of the Constitution. Kon have a conotry to save, and
this must be effected by every meant within the reach of
the Government. If slavery be tho barrier to success,
then slavery must oease to exist that the nation may
live. -Becollectthat society had on existence,before con-
Etitnttonß sprang from the mind of man. Had bur Con
stitution been rigidly obserrod when organized srmieß
of traitors marched upon Washington in order to over
throw brirTbstliutions, what would hove been the condi
tion of onr Northern cities, and where would have been
our liberties '! Tho heel of tho Southern op pressor would
hr re been upon our necks, aod desolation held her car
nival over our smouldering homes. Beware of those who
attempt,to:drawnlce distinctions between. the Admini
stration and the government. It is the first movement
towards becoming a traitcr. " .t,' ’

Mr. Webb then introduced to the'audience Uol. J. w,

Colonel Forney -was received with enthusiastic chssr.
ing. He spoke as follows:
SPEECH OF COL. jl W. FORNEY
It is, I believe, my fellow-countrymen, some fi*
years since I had, the. pleasure of speaking from this
very spot At that period the Administration of Jamas
Buchanan had begun tho series of measures which ini
tiated the civil warjn; which we are now engaged. A
few independent men attached to the Democratic party,
appalled by these; tyrannies, shocked by thess nsurpe.
tlons. took up arms against the organization of the party,
and from 1857 down,to 1861 maintained an almost solita
ry, and foi a tong period an unassisted, resistance to that
Administration end its controllers. And now, to-night, af
ter theee years have elapsed, I am before you to plead for
the relief and rescue of that country which he aod his
myrmidons plunged into fratricidal strife. I make thi*
allnsien, my countrymen, to this historical period for
the purpose of calling your attention to the patent 017
tbat.this war was begun by the Abolitioniste. That istha
charge of the men rn our midst, who, usurping, the or
ganization of the Democratic party, and desecrating it]
time-honored principles, cover their treason by trying
to evade the issom, 'nnd to falsify the true history of tin
war by charging its origin upon the Abolitionists, it
order that the honest, masses of the Democratic party
may be misled from their duty, and.that our gallant
men now in the field of' battle May be induced
to falter in the discharge of theirs. Among all th>
infamies .to which the, opposition to this war has
given rise, there is none more infamous than, the charjs
that this war was not begun,’ was, not provoked, asi
was not precipitated by the slaveholders ot the South.
History contains some amazing pages, but there is u<
page so amazing‘as that which is now being written in
the blood of our countrymen; and whloh preserves to
immortal shame the names of those who commenced this
war. And when the future historian comes towrite
tom tho data of to-day, and comes to adjust tbeissuM
Iff the even balance of an unprejudiced judgment, hi
will be startled alik e at the audeeity of those who tried
to change the responsibility of this war from the sboal
dera where it rightfnliy attaches, and to attach itte
what is celled the Abolition party.
My countrymen, was it the Abolition party that
cheated the people of Kansas out of their rights ; was it
the Abolition party that forced the Leeompton|OonsUt»-
ticn upon the people of- that State 1 that invented tbs
Bngtishbilll that persecuted,hundreds and thousauda
of Democrats.for the utterance, of their opinions’! that
ejected good men from office because they dared to stand
by what they behoved to be right 1 Oh! no. It wos the
men,who are now engaged in armed opposition totha
Sag of onr country, and those in yonr midst who are en
gaged, drily and- sightly, in attempting to detest you
and to assist’.them. Was it the Abolition party, geatle.
men, that pnyeued with such unslaked ferocity the dis
tinguished Hobart J. Walker, that patriotic Democrat,
who in goipg to Kansas—as you ali remember—for
standing by Ihe rights of the people of that Territory was
ejected from hie. petition, and brought boms utder su
attempted disgrace by President Buchaoanl
> These were bnt toe initiatory steps to this great drams,
and when you come down to a late period, I may well
ask y on whether it was the Abolition party—tny count y
men—whether it was the Abolition party that fired upas
the Star of tho West! whether it was the Abolition
party that refused to garrison Fort Sumpter 7 whether,
in a word, it was the Abolition party that turned traitor!
in the Cabinet of the President, and which, in the very
last horns of that Administration, permitted the plenipo
tentiaries, the emissaries, the commissioners of tin
tyrants and Secessionists to visit different Southern
States for the purpose of sweeping them out of the
Union 7 Why, gentlemen, tbe Abolition party- at the
period referred to, was a- contemptible minority The
Republican party never was an Abolition party, in sny
sente, and the distinguished gentleman wbo now presides
in the Presidential chair, Mr. Uncola himstlf, althoaeh
assailed prior to his election as being the author ot tin
theory that this nation must in the end be all slave oral
free, hat, if possible, been more moderate; (I will not
say more eonsersatine, for if there is a word in the Eng
lish language lor which I have a supreme contempt, it It
that one,) bntwho has been more moderate, more feir,
more forbearing, and more indulgent than this smm
Bopnblican President. Ton will pardon ms for refenrins
to this patent charge of the "so-cedled Democratic party;
hut you who are here present, yon who meßt theso rati
and hear their constant accusations against what an
called the. Abolitionists, should remember to refresh tbk
history in ypur own minds, so that you may crush tsea
with the argument that' cannot he answered. Why. if
there men are permitted to go on and make this a parti
war, as I heard a friend say not an hoar ago, the reboU
will have easy work of it.. If this Democracy—l oil!
not say the old-time Democracy, and I dtsire.taatna
ment,to Co justice,! lilt, and generous, and ample julici
to the brave feemocrats in the army who are fighting
under the flag—bnt if this Democracy iB permitted to g>
on and make these party issues, that you may he S
vided, then, notwithstanding all onr vast resources ssi
all our wonderful unanimity, nothing can prevent ft!
triumph of the rebellion.
A patty war! Why, fellow.countrymen, look tit tin
factsMy friend,-Dr. Mackenzie, referred with singular
filielty to tbe generous manner in which the President
. of the United States honoredthat- glorious champion of
the Green Old Isle, Michael Cor coran, by miking his
a. brigadier general, Thera is one of the ft*t
sand Wahlfeithtiohs, not simply of his liberality
bnt of the fact that this cannot ba a party *«•
And, to-morrow, as you see the tall Irishman, si sw
ing six feet two,; in his stockings, passing throngs
your streets, the'honored guest,'not atari? of to
own country men but or all the peopte here, the gate
fill people ask bini whether he regards this as 8
party war— atk him whether he thinks the Irish
men of the loyal States should hold back in this at
test—aek him if-'be thinks this war is prosecuted W
abolition purposes-—aak him what he thinks of I’resi de cl
Lincoln, and he will tell them and yon, as he told t»
69th Regiment, the other day, in Washington, in a stag*
sentence, comprising our duty, and the duty of theC)-
vermnent itself. 'He said substantially, “ I have jast re
turned from the South. The Southern rebels hira
clothed their President, br their chief, with unconditms
power; they have given him the right, ths authority ra
do'as he pleases, to crush the Government of the Units
States, and what lask,” says Corcoran, “is that yon aW
confer the same pow® r .upon PresidentiLiacola." [tp
plause;] These gentlemen—for it appears that tin
leaders of the Eemocratic party or the Democratico?*
gabizalion, like the principles, have undergone a great
change: and now, instead of the old-fashioned Perns
crate, whom we recollect in days gone bv, we find tH
old Democracy marshalled by men like William B. Seed,
George M Wharton, and people of that sort—these gen
tlemen are greatly exercised 'by wbat they call 0*
perils that surround the Constitution, and the?
are calling their partisans together on SaWraM
mxt for the purpose of’taking steps to'protect tw
Constitution from violation. I wish one »
tbese men would call upon this £ae Irishman to-o*f
row, and. ask .him what bethinks of.this new id-s 8
heloing. the gentlemen connected with the AdjainiateJ
lion responsible for" violating: the Constitution nr
would say to them, “ Confer upon Mr. Lincoln all tM
power, and if the Constitution does not give him encash
let him exercise that power which is necessaryto presen*
the G- vtrnment from annihilation.” [Long-continue
applause.] giro# when has it become fashionable, prsr,
for these leaders to-become tho voluntary champions s
the-Constitution of ":the- United Sta"ea ? They rhl
not' recollect it when, as I said, they wars assist
ing’ Mr. Buchanan in his unconstitutional «o*
gresslohs; They did not think of it when they werr
standing here in the midst of all the troubles that sur
rounded the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. What W»
Mr. Lincoln's integrity and intrenidity In that dark boar
that succeeded the fall of Sumpter, when there wss

the fate of the Constitution; and I romeinW
very well when the called session came together,
and when the acta of President Lincoln came WtaJ

very courtly and very elegant ' and eloouent gentlem?
who spoke daily and almost hourly in regard to the

acts in the past.! He was then the most lamenting Jerf"
tnlah of that distinguished body. He was listened to W
many of those whoi the other day, claimed to bepsrit
cellcr.ce Democrats. He made precisely the same so,’"
roerts they make; precisely the same logic *“«
utter she uttered. And where do you think this g®'
tleman 1« now! This handsome, courtly, and ?•>*
Iriotic gentleman is the same that was whipped the ott*
day at Baton Jtonge, fighting In the ranks of tress 811 '
[die rrs] and his name is John O. -Breckinridge, 1 A r B *?’
“Threegroans ror him.” 'The groans were accordions

constitutional power we would have had no governm* 1
at a‘l; "Washington would have become an easy P r, i ®
the common foe, and your own fair fields, and prol>»W

Lincoln is entitled to the -gratitude of his country, >■'*
that which inspired him, after enduring those dark b»«™
to issue his proclamation, calling the loyal people « V*

In contemplating the issues involved in this ite us K

I have said, as'a cover for treason. Yeßterna'
