UNION STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE Roots, No. 116.1 Chestnut Street. —Onr friends in every county and die trial in Pennsylvania should immediately, without one day's delay, send to the State Committee a correct copy of their whole ticket, giving plainly the name of each candidate for every office. All this mist be done to ena ble the tickets to be prepared tosend to the several regi ments of the State. County Committees should also prepare and send with the Commissions their several county tickets, or send a 'special agent with the Commissions to carry them. The Sentiment of American . Unitj : inde structible. We believe—and the more we study the revelations of the war and the spirit of the Southern people the firmer is our faith— that when the military power of the rebel lion is broken the enthusiasm with which the Southern ,States will return to the . Union will be even greater than the .re luctance with which the majority left it. Virginia, Louisiana, and North Carolina were earnestly opposed to secession, and were actually bullied into. submission 'by the superior• energy of the Cotton States. Even in these there existed at the begin ning of the war a profound devotion to the Union, and a well-founded •dread of the results of rebellion. ALP.XAKDETt STEPITENS, now the Vice President of the Confederacy, plead for the Union, in 1860, with his whole soul, and almost•with the passion of grief. Missouri and Tennessee, States that-passed the ordinance of secession, would now resist to the last any attempt to drag them from the Union. They , have tried the experiment of independence,, and have found it ruinous. TO. whole South has discovered the madness of its feverish dream. Nothing keeps it froin the Union now but the monster of its own cre ation—a great army, controlled by a few able men, kept together by necessity, disci pline, and the inspiration of sectional pride. There is not a regiment in LEE'S army - which will not fight its enemies; but the majority of the men in his army, if con viuced that they were beaten, would wil lingly sustain as citizens the Union they oppose as soldiers. The sentiment of American unity is inde structible. The American people were never divided by an ordinance of secession. They have not been permanently divided by the war. It is a fact that the war has taught North and South reciprocal respect; that it has convinced each section of the strength of the other; that it has shown bOth sec tions how valuable each is to the other. Not until this war had either North or South a teorthy antagonist ; and the co • basal armies, the terrible battles, the un paralleled campaigns of this war, inshow big to the world the strength of: each section, have demonstrated the irresistible :: power inherent in their Union. We do not believe that the war has widened the gulf; it has rather narrowed it in de stroying slavery. If we want evidence that the sentiment of American unity is undestroyed we can find it in the ut terances of the Southern people now, as well as in the return of seceded States. The Richmond Enquirer of the Bth inst., commenting on recent editorials . in Tics • PRESS, the Washington Chronicle, and the New York Times, says : " The American continent for American civilization is as much a Confederate as.. a Federal senti ment, and, notwithstanding the passions excited and aroused by this• war, the peo ples of the two sections must ever lean more on each other than on any other nation." It is true that this journal . argues that this sentiment of Union is compatible with the existence , of two governments, and. would be stronger between` two American' nations than in one, bitt th.e admission, - not the argument, that is valuable. We need not attempt 'to ,refute the idea "that in an offensive and .defensive alliance of the two nationalities againet, the world, with separate governnients for domestiCaf-, fairs, lies their true and real interest, as well as the road to lasting ,peace." enough that a leading rebel organ affirms that the toar has not destroyed, even in the South, the underlying sentiment that the ilmericass are one. people. The Administratioli bases its policy on this faitk.. It *osacutea the war to keep Americans one people. It will entertain no proposals to divide theni. It is fight ing the armies of JEFF DAVP in the inte rest of the Southern people, and it means to make peace 4 the earliest moment, and on the most magnanimous terms. General McCheradirt and his party, in declaring their readiness to sniimit•to an immediate . armistice, virtually submit to the military power of the rebellion, and acknowledge the inability of the United States to subdue it. It Is not in this way that our country can be preserved: It is only by perseverance in. a war which is already crowned with success ; which is not made against the South, but the rebellion in the South, that we can hope to preserte it ; and those who are sinevely convinced that the great idea of American unity still underlies the fury of ' civil contention, will not be deceived by that pallid phantom' of -peace - which : arose , out of the grave of the Deinooticat Chi. . . ry. cago. Gpieral Carl . chmo .Speech. 'The meeting at Concert Hall last eve ning most auspiciously : opened. - the series of' great and intelligent gatherings to be held during the . campaign, under the direc tion of the Union League. The sound and unshaken confidence of the people in the vast cause at stake in the present canvass was nobly exhibited in. the enthusiastic appre ciation with which Gen. SCHURZ' extreme ly logical and eloquent effort was received. To this speech we would -invite attention, but we are sure it will command it. Gen. Scruonz discussion 6f the question of peace is one of the most statesmanlike and exhaustive that we have heard. It has not added truths to the cause, but, never tholes% most noble wprds of cheer and warning. " All that we have done is nothing, unless we :. do nxbre; 2 ' says F mum; and in this brief expression he has touched the heart of the . genOal conviction. To the argumentative power of our best lawyera he adds the soul of an. orator and the experience •of , a soldier. How vividly he has pictured the perfidy., and shame of the last act of hostility to the Government and the cause, the reader may judge. This speech cannot but produce 'a marked effect, and we, therefore, direct attention to the accurate' and complete re port, specially prepared by this journal. WA. SHINGIOMIN.

ExPosa.P.BTNRSBURG, Sept.l4.—Yesterday, three soldiers of the bth Corps were each presented with a niedal of honor for capturing battle•flags from the enemy. At four o'clock Generals Meade, Warren, and Hancock ascended the platform, Generals Crawford, Ayres, Griffin, Baster, Hunt, and Bragg, with their staffs, standing near, as also a large number of re gimental officers. General Warren, In a loud, clear voice, stated the object for which they had thus met together, and call ed. the names of those who were to be honored, desiring them to oome forward to the plat form. First Sergeant John Shilling, Company H, 3d Regiment Delaware Volunteers, who captured a South Carolina flag; Private F. 0 Anderson, Com pany 11, 18th MassachuSetts Veteran Volunteers, who captured the hag of the 27th South Carolina i and Private George H. Reed, Company E, 11th Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, who captured the flag of the 24th North Carolina, came forward to the platform, and, presenting arms, came to a• shoulder. Major General Meade then • arose, and, during the utmost quiet and most respectful atten tion, addressed the soldiers as follows: OPVIOERS AND SOLDIERS OP FirTH CORPS : I have to-day to perform a most pleasant and gratify ing duty—to present to certain meritorious non commissioned officers and privates medals of honor, conferred on them by the War Department for dis tinguished conduct on the field of battle, in captur ing flags from the enemy. It has been customary in all ages for nations to commemorate and reward the gallantry and devotion of their sons when en gaged in the holy cause of defending their country. In the Word of God some of the most beautiful pas sages of the Psalmist are devoted to commemorat ing and praising the deeds of the warriors of old ; for even the chosen .people of God were, in the exe cution of His will, cam - belled to take up arms and battle fir their cause. The histories of the ancient republics of Greece and Rome are filled with accounts of the honors bestowed upon these warriors, crownintr them ' with wreaths of laurels, by triumphant prooes :don s, in which were exhibited the trophies and' pri soners captured in battle, the whole population turning out to do honor to these heroes. In more modern times nations have adopted various modes of conferring distinctions for, military services, by conferring military rank, titles of nobility, estates, and appropriations of money; on the private sol diers medals . and other decorations, together with pensions and endowing institutions; where the aged ' and disabled soldier can live in comfort and quiet. Nor has our own country been remiss in this. re spect, notwithstanding the oft-quoted adage that re publics are ungrateful. Resides numerous votes of thanks by Congress, the gratitude of our people for the devotion displayed by soldiers on the battle . field has been testified in many ways ; States, counties, apd cities have presented lands, houses, &a, The fairs devoted to raising funds for the Sanitary Commission have been made the means pf honor itgathe'brave and distinguished, and during the . session liefore the last Congress passed a resolution. authorising the Secretary of War too.confer on die- . t anguished ncinacommissioaed . officers and privates . medals of honor. This is the fir4 . occasiori on Whit& the men of this army have been so honored; and•l-• decreed it proper, through your . • corps commander, to call you together, that the conferring of this dis.. Unction might be witnessed by the coatra des of the recipients, and that the Influence of their example might serve to incite others to emulate their worthy conduct. I wish, moreovcr,to say to you that although this is the first occasion of the presentation of these medals of honor. I trust, and have reason to believe, the precedent thus made will be soon followed by _many other presentations, and that I' am now preparing a list of names of enlisted men who have, Irons time to time, since my assuming command of this army, distinguished themselves by acts of gallantry in thecid, and whose services hare beim reported officially to the Department. This list I shall transmit to the Secretary of War, and urge on him the justice and expediency of send ing medals of honor to all mentioned ;therein. It has always been my desire promptly to reward the good conduct of the private soldiers of the army. I have always borne testimony to the devotion and bearing of the Metier my command, and upon ail occasions like the present, where I have had an op portunity to give public expression to my views, I have stated it was 'to the heroism and gallantry of the private soldiers that our' past success in this war was due, and upon which our future success depended. I know, and you litow, that, whatever May be the talents or the genius of a command ing general, arid however well laid his plans, un less he is Sustained by the brave hearts and stout arms of, his soldiers, success will not attend his efforts. I therefore take this opportunity, while re minding you of how much depends on the indivia dual exertions of each one of you ; to say to you that our countrymen look to you for renewed exertions, to unceasing and persistent •efforts to overcome our enemies, and bring this war to a close ; and I trust the medals now presented will serve as Incentives to . urge you to emulate and surpass the deeds of your comrades now about to be honored. Sergeant John U. Shilling, 3d Delaware, Private - S. C. Anderson, 18th lllassachusetts and .Private George W. Reed, nth Pennsylvania irolunteers, I now present you with the medals of honor, conferred on you by. the. ' Hon. Secretary of War, by virtue of the authority of the Congress hi the United States, for your con spicuous gallantry and good conduct displayed, in capturing on the held of battle flags from the ene my. Take these medals. and wear them with ho norable pride. Preserve them and hand them down to your posterity as testimonials of . the faithful manner in which you have discharged your duties and served your country in its hour of trials. Ac companying each medal yon will find a letter from the Secretary of War, to which you are called to re ply in acknowledgment.. Your replies when made, I shall be happy to transmit to the Department. And now, fellow-soldiers of the Lth Corps, let me nail:: urge .you to emulate the example of these honored men, and by your future efforts not only deserve similar rewards, but aid in the great work in which we are all engaged—the overcoming of the enemies of our country and the restoration of peace ant happiness to the whole land. Dismissing as now useless to diScass, all questions as to the origin of tblis war, we have daily and hourly evidences that i it exists, and that ithan only be terminated by hard ' fighting and by determined efforts to .overcarue.the 'armed foes of the Government. Nor do I think it proper to raise here any questions as matte policy on which this war should be conducted. With these ques tions, as soldiers,:we have nothing to do. Their dis eliFfiOD among you 18DOL only useless, but pernicious. • Our policy is to fight, and the only question ap tp the conduct of the war pertinent for us to discuss Is how best we can defeat those who are in arms with the avowed purpose of destroying that Government under which, for three-.quarters .of a century, we had lived,a united and happy people, almost reachina a pointtheri we would -have ranked among the first Potters on the earth. Our duty Jet° compel submis siinetaithe laws enacted with the consent of the very people,Who now rebel against them, on.the special plea of self- government. This duty is no easy task, as :we here present well know; for it IS no More than:right to adtalt that our foes fight with bra Very and determination worthy of .a better cause. But it is a duty which I know you will all discharge at ever? saorifice, and I earnestly pray the Ruler of the Uni verse that in His infinite wisdom and mercy He may so oilier events that, through your bravery and devotion to the cause, our enemies may be made to yield, and the cause of truth and justice prevail, so ,that, peace being restored to the land, the hag of our fathers honored and respected from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, we may be enabled to return to our homes and families to receive those honors a grateful country Is ready to bestow. At the close General Warren rose and proposed three cheers for the Commander of the Potomac Army, which were accorded with so much enthu siasm that the very welkin rank. The army Is in excellent condition, and confidence of success is stamped on every face. Our military and naval success& have had a wonderful effect, evasion the most habitual grumbler. The weather is cool and dry. REORGANIZATION OP THE 6TH CORPS—ORDERS RE LATING TO DISLOYAL INHABITANTS WITHIN THE LINES.

Shelby's movements in Northeast Arkansas and - Southeast Missouri seemed to be aimed at Cape Gi rardeau, but nothing is yet known as to his designs, while Price Will probably strike at Springfield.

UNION CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION IN DELA WARE. litrmmtnoTom, Sept. -18.---The :Union State Con vention assembled at Dover yesterday, at 12 o'clock. The Hon. Nathaniel H. Smithers was renominated tor Congress on the first ballot, TAE PRESS. --- PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SF2TEMBEIt, 17,4804:-, States, who advocate partly peace at any price, and partly the offering of concession and compro_ raise. Fourthly, the great Union party, who want peace upon the basis of the restoration of the Union, and a fall and complete vindication of the lawful authority of the Government [cheers], and now want further the employment of all the means that can subserve that great object. [Cheers.] It seems, then, that this word Is of very 'wide meaning, and we should first ascer tain its tine significance. The conditions upon which the rebels offer us peace are known to us all. It is the recognition of the independence of the Southern Confederacy ; it is the cession of all the States Claiming to belong to the Confederacy, with the addition of Missouri, Maryland,,and Ken. tueity, and the District of Columbia. It may be said that modesty is not one of their:virtues, but they may yield a point or two in time. [Laugh ter.] Although our people have made up their minds upon these propositions' of the rebels, yet there aro some persons who really seem to believe in the possibility of peace on such terms. Let me ask whether the separation can be made, and whether peace may be thus attained, and second._ ly, whether it would be a desirable peace? What shall be the boundary line] If we should take the Rocky Mountains, they would not be too broad to separate two people exasperited by long and bitter feuds. The best national boundaries we can con oeive of are the Potomac and the Ohie ; south of that line there are two States that'would, in any event, be claimed for the Union—Kentucky and Western Virginia. Can we sell our friends there 7 Can we abandon them to rebel despotism? Impossr ble. But thenit may be said the rebels will continuo the war for the sake of Western Virginia and Kens tucky. In.that case we may as well continuetheyyar for the sake of the whole Union, for the restleriand reckless elements in those two States would unite with the restless elementi in. the Southern States, _and 'peace , coirkle not bedapting.., sskssain. a the boon- • dary line would cross the MissiSsippi, and leave 'the month of that stream in the hands of the enemy.. The matter is hardly-fit for discussion. The • Mis sissippi is the great highway to the Gulf of Mexico. It is the Atlantic Ocean ramified thousands of miles • into the interior of the country. Not only is New Orleans its port, but Cincinnati, and St. Louis, and, all the other great cities that may spring up upon the banks of its tributaries. If we should give up that stream would it tot be as if some person were allowed to have his gripe upon our throat and to tighten his held upon us whenever he chose 1 The people of the United States have bought 'the Mis sissippi, once with their money and twice with their blood [Loud applanse.] Would the South seil it , No, they would not. Can the North do without it 1 No, they cannot. How, then, could these conflict ing interests he adjUsted as between two rival na tions 1 We should be in constant jeopardy of war, if we should consent to peace upon the basis of separation.. Military necessity would become not only an accidental feature of war times, but .a'com mending element of the Government. Our. very safety and security would• compel the c en traliiation of power. It must be clear, then, to every candid mind that a settlement on such a basis would be nothing but a mere a teinporary armistice. The, restoration of the Union is a downright, absolute' necessity. [Loud cheering.] And that conviction strengthened, what then? The war must be resumed. Under what circumstances? Now we are fighting the rebels alone, then we should fight a well-organized Confederacy, with all her European allies at her heels. Would it not be wisest and most economical after all, now that' we have begun, to go through with it? To you who affect such holy horror of war and blood, let me say that it will be a vast saving of blood and calamity for us to pursue this war to the end instead of running into one which will be interminable. I despair of convincing those in foreign countries who have set their' minds against' us,'but we can make it clear to ourselves that those who are so clamorous for peace would be still more clamorous for the breaking up of this Republic, and dreriphing the land with blood. For the sake of peace alone, we must restore the Union. .[Prolonged applauSe.] . Howl 'Either 'voluntarily, "or by the forced submission of the rebeli to the Go vernment. There -is a party among us which pre tends that it can secure the - voluntary submission of the rebels. Its policy We have set forth in the fol lowing resolution from the Chicago platform: Resolved, That'this COnvention does explicitly de clare, as the sense of the American people, that. after four years of failure to restore tee Union by the experi ment or - war, durues which, ander the plea of military 'necessity, or the war power higher than the Constita • Hon, the Constitution itself has been' disregarded in every part, public liberty and petyate right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the coon ; try essentially impaired, that justice.: humanity. liber ty.' and the, public welfare demand 'that immediate et; forts be made for the cessation of hestilities, view to the ultimate convention of all the states, or other peaceable means, ito the end that, at the earliest.. practicable moment, peacfsmay be restored on the basis. .of the Federal union of the States, They declare; this to be the sense of the American.; people. I apprehend the American people will take the privilege of thinking about this matter and ex•pressing their Sense in duo time. [Laughter.] Thisiftution contains two definite propoSitions and ope Indefinite proposition first, that the war Is . fitilure ; this clearly Is'pOsitive. Secondly; that'. the war ought to cease ; and the third is made with a view to a Convention of all the States. Tile first two propositions can be carried into effect if it be the sense of the American people that. those who adopted them shall be placed in power; but the carrying out of the thirdsproposition I requires the co-operation of Jefferson Davis. The Democratic party cannot have a Convention of all the States unless each be the sense of Jefferson Davis and the States in rebellion. [Applause.] If It should be, what then? On that point the Chicago platform soya nothing, but this is what the Ameri can people want to know. Stopping the war is just what Jefi Davis wants, and the Convention of all the States Is just what he does-not want. Will you ac quiesce in this experiment for, the benefit of the Confederacy, or- will you resume the' war? What in the name of common sense will you do? Here we stand before such a jumble of nonsense that our heads begin to reel, and we can make nothing farther out of this Chicago platform., But let us pass to another consideration bearing upon this question. We'Lave some moans of ascertaining the Sentiments of the rebel leaders, and I call upon any man to tell me did ho ever see the least indication of a willingness on the part of the rebel Govern ment even to take into consideration' a proposition looking toward the - restorafion of the Union? Tb 'rebels know full well that any offer of Compromise on their part would increase the political discOrd and diversity of sentiment prevailing among us, and it is singular that as a matter of possibility they have not at least indicated a desire to make an advance towards negotiation. But did not Mr. Benjamin, in his letter to Mr. Mason, say the re cognitiot of the Confederacy is the absolute sine qua non to all negotiations 7. Yet in the face of all this, men at Chicago dared to hold out to the Ante• rican people the promise that the rebels -would agree to come back, and on this ground dared to:ad vise you to stop the war. This absurdity speaks of' sChenies that shun the light, and well might the Yellen eighares,. and Longs, and' liarrisea vote, for such a resolution Is virtually a recognition of the Confederacy. Suppose that party shobld be raised to , power. The first act ,Is to propose la Ireifersan Davis a cessation of hostilities.

AN INSPIRING- SCP.N.D. One of the most powerful, pointed, and logical addresses we have ever been privileged to listen to was delivered last evening, to a crowded and enthu siastic audience, by General Oarl Schurz. The ad dress was delivered at Concert Hall, at the invite• tion of the Union League. The stage Was appro priately decked with flags, and stirring music, was discoursed by a. full band. At 8 o'clock General Schurz entered upon the stage, and, the cheering having subsided, was introduced by Judge Knox in the following remarks : BRMARKS OF JUDGE KNOX Fellow-citizens of Philadelphia : I rise for the pur pose of performing a grateful duty. We have as sembled here to-night to listen to an addrems from one of freedom's most distinguished advocates —{checrsi—one who, by his voice, his pen, and his sword, has proven his devotion to the cause of 11- bony, and his belief in the capacity of man for self government. [Cheers.] Heartily and cordially ban we welcome him here, for he has proven by his acts that he is a sure friend of this, the country of his adoption. [Applause.] , The enemy of tyrants at home, the land of his birth, the foe of the oppressor there, he has not proved, I am happy to say, the ad vocate of tyranny,,, or the apologist of oppression here. He will speak to us tonight, my friends, in behalf of our great standard-bearer, the President of the United States, [tremendous cheers,] Abra ham Lincoln, of Illinois, [continued cheers,] who is destined, this time, to be his own successor. He will speak to us, too, on behalf of that noble man who faithful among the faithless stood, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, [loud cheers.] He will speak to us in behalf of our common country, in favor of the unity and perpetuity of the American Republic. Thaw), vocate, my friends, is worthy of the cause, and that is the highest commendation that can be spoken in behalf of mortal man. That cause is the embodi ment, the true personification, of justice, and, there fore, entitled to the - sympathy and support alike of men and of angels. It is my privilege to presone to you General Carl Schurz. [Loud applause.] SPEECH OF OEN. CARL SOlauaz. Fellow-citizens: In times like these, when the pass ing events of every day cast ever-varying_ shadows and lights upon our situation, when our minds are in turn possessed with joyfulness and despondency, it is right that we slfonld, from time to time, flu our eyes upon those things and ideas which may serve as immovable and permanent points of direction. The ailairs of this country have evidently arrived at a crisis. We are engaged in a war for the restora tion of the Union. The Union is,.not 'yet restored, and yet we hear the cry of "Peace. ,, The desire for peace is not peculiar to any political party. Wo all cherish it. But what's peace, and how is peace to be restored 1 .This is the question which the peo ple will have to consider in November, Upon this question depends everything else. UPon this ques tion the mind of every conscientious citizen ought to be made up firmly and Irrevocably, whatever events to-day or to-morrow may bring forth. The advocates of peace can be divided Into four great classes. Firstly, the rebels, who want peace upon the basis of disunion, and the dissolution of the Go vernment. Secondly, a•largo number of influen• tial individuals in foreign countries, who believe the war is hopeless, and want to see peace. on the basis of separation. Thirdly, a party in the United stop the war. Would you subreitl' No. You would have to resumeithe war, you say. What I resume a war against "justice, humanity, liberty, and the public 'welfare I" [Loud applause.] If the OPPosition party are successful the, old silly Cry, "for Heaven's sake do not irrita te the South by keeping negroes in your service , ' [laughter] will .regain its full sway, and you will soon, doubtless, be in a state of mind of which it will be very did), Cult to tell where folly ends and where reason begins. I. might describe the ruinous effect of an armistice upon our armies. now on South % ern soil ; how hundreds of vessels would fly to Savannah and . other Southern ports, loaded with arms, attimunition, and other materials, which would come very handy to our enemies; how the Confederate loan would look up; how their finances would be improved—in one word, how the • whole fighting capacity 'of the South would take a new and tremendous lm .• pulse. I might describe all that, but I will forbear. i There are two measures which, in case of their no ' iliellSiOn to power, that party is most certain to ad . . voeate. 'Victims to that most vicious of all.dise - eases, called nogrophobia, they would dismiss the • two hundred thousand negro soldiers we have now in the service, and, yielding to the most.pemlcious of all passions, called demagogueism, 'they would abandon the idea of a, conscription. Would they not 1 I dare any one of their public men, I dare their 'Candidate, or the most bellicose of thelePaetisans, to say that the Democratic party will not do that. They have not the courage to say so. And What will ixi the eOnsequencel With one hand they will deplete and weaken the army, and with the other. throw away the means of filling it up. Take to-day' two hundred thousand negro soldiers from the posts and garrisons they are now guarding ; dismiss them from the service, and then take two hundred thou sand white soldiers from Atlanta and Petersburg, and I call upon any military authority of this coun try to say whether our two groat armies will be able to hold the field. " Retreat, retreat," will be' the cry. And, perhaps, It was with a. view to that' contingency that the Chicago Convention nomi nated its distinguished military candidate. [Long Continued applause.] Do not speak of rapidly filling up our armies when you give up the _conscription. I apprehend your friends, in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, your Son§ of Liberty and American Knights, will be very slow to enter the field with their imported revolvers. . [Laughter.] Far from them to strengthen the army.: They' will even weaken and destroy that part of it which .remains, for while the soldier is . - witnessin these senseless and ruinous . proceed lags, suspicion and distrust will be creeping into . the ranks; and our brave, boys will 'lose. half . of their Strength, because ` they will lose all of . their, I'llsith and confidence ; and then, indeed, the Seessation of hostilities will acquire quite a. different 'wiped. Not being able to hold theafield, far from being able to offer terms of arrarmistice, you will go to Jefferson Davis, and beg for one. And if be should have the magnanimity to grant; it, he will certainly not spare your feelings with., [conditions. Is :that the cessation of hos tilities you want? I am sure that is the kind the rebels want. This kind elan armistice will have at least one advantage for you. It will at least save • you the trouble of discussing between yourselves what - conditions Sou will impose on the rebels. [Laughter.] But, seriously and soberly speaking, I think the opposition of the Woods and the Yellen dighems to the Chicago nominee a most rash and ill advised proceeding. •If they let him act only upon the common prejtidices and impulses of the Demo cratic party, he will as certainly ruin the prospects of this war as they themselves would do by their 'ingeniously devised "cessation of hostilities," which givei the rebels all they desire with the prospect of refusing all that we desire, The one is a military way of doing things ; the other is a civil way. The one might be called strategy ,• the other diplomacy. But I really do not think the difference fs worth quarrelingeabout. At all events, it may be well for these men to set a good example for the rest or us by . keepinsrpeace among themselves. [Laughter and ap plause.] But I will follow the advocates of the Chica go platform into the farthest recesses of their argu ments, which' we do not find in their resolutions, but in their public papers. They tell us that while the rebel Government is for war, the. Southern people are for peace, and they, therefore, appeal iron the rebel Government to the Southern people. That is certainly a good idea. There is certainly a large number of peace men in the Southern States. They may fairly be divided into two great classes : first, Secessionists on principle. who ere 'for peace . because they are tired and sick of the war ; and, secondly, Union men, who are forpeace on the basis of the Union. These two claims undoubtedly com prise a large portion of the people, but I apprehend are not suffloiently numerous to control the rebel Go. vernmeet : for if strong enough, why_ do they not do it 7 The Chicago platform says we must strengthen them. Certainly. Why do .not those • who are for peace offer an effective opposition to the rebel Go vernment? Certainly they are foia . peade, but for peabe on the basis of a separation. Then I would suggest; that hoWever tired they are of the war, they are not yet tired enough. The remedy is plain. We must carry on the war with such terri ble energy as to make. all rebeldom quake and. shake. [Great applause.] We will make them so tired of the war that after a little while they will be only too happy to 'make - peaco at any price. [Applause.] Now, with reference to the Union men* in the rebel States, there are un doubtedly many of them among the blacks, [ap plause,] and a large number of the whites. Why do they not exercise any decisive influence in the inbel a titatelt ? a Simply because the rebel Govern 'meat is trio' strong for them and keeps them under. 'What is the remey:l -It is equally simple, that we have got to carry on the war, and deal upon the rebel Government such heavy blows as to break its streugtb. That will give the Union men air to breathe and freedom °faction. [Great applause.] Bat how we are to aid the secessionists who are tired of the war because they want peace on the basis of separation, and the Union men because the rebel Government is too strong for them—how we are to aid them by making the rebel Government stil stronger is a Point-which will take all the ability and eloquence of the Chicago Convention assembled to make in telligible to an intelligent people. [Applause.] Thee whole .wisdom of this intricate peace policy of the phicitgq,party may be fairly summed up in this ';ways -you. are struggling wtth a highwayman who' Las robbed you of your yell:Sables ; you are stronger . than haand just about to overcome him. Suddenly ,- you stop, and say . my good fellowl will struggle no longer, it a Quid be against "justice, humanity, and , a ouationirrionwefffilic ; r4 t, Will let you go and wheaf• - 1. meet you againwill do all that I can in the way of persuading you to give 'me back all that you have stolen [Laughter and applause.] This is the wisdom of the Chicago Convention ; but, I ask you; is not, this the wisdom of Bedlam also? Now, I arrive at One feature of this business, which places its true character in the proper light. It is well known that some of the leading Powers of Europe, with Nihon we are in most immediate contact, affect to believe in because they eesire the final dissolution of this Republic. What motives may be assigned" for this fact I know.not. We may attribute it to ..the competition arising from our spirit of. comuier °lel enterprise. jealousy of our constantly growing strength, batted of our republican institutions ; but call it what you will, the fact' is too thinly .dis gutted to escape recognition. But in speaking of the tendeneies of some of the political and commer cial interests of England and France, •it Is Jar from me 'to cast a slur upon the noble ;Datives of those countries, for .1 sincerely) be ' Sieve that the ' cause of universal liberty has .no truer friends abroad than they are. At s present the so-called Confederacy is a mere assoola lion of political bodies engaged in a rebellion against their legitimate Government. They are, 'indeed, recognized as belligerents, but not admitted into the family of nations as an independent and equal member. Foreign Powers, however, desirous et making separation permanent, yet hesitate to enter into open relations and co-operation with - the Confederaoy—hrst, because our Government main tamped with firmness the justice of our cause, and its inflexible resolution to bring hack the rebellious states, and, secondly, because the stigma of slavery rests upon the rebellion, and European Govern ments have some. respect for public opinion in their own countries and for the enlightened judg ment of mankind. But is it reasonable to suppose that they will refrain from doing so when they will have a plausible pretext? They would no doubt be glad to-see us do for them what they are ashamed to do for themselves. As you, in times gone by, and, I hope. gone by forever, were required to do . for the slaveholder the dirty work that he' deemed below his dignity to do for himself, so foreign Powers would prefer that you should perform for them a scarcely cleaner work, which they them selves feel Much delicacy about, to recognize as an independent P ower a Confederacy founded upon;th corner stone of slavery. But, you may say, they will have to .wait for that. Will they, indeed 1 Here is the Chicago platform explicitly declaring as the sense of the American people that the war is a failure, and must be stopped. And this you cry into the ears of England and France, who merely wait to hear you say so. [Applause.] Have not our enemies in those countries always ad vocated the recognition of the Confederacy on the 'ground that the war on our part was hopeless, un just; tyrannical, and ruinous 1 With what delight the London ,Herald and the London Times will hail - this declaration! With what triumph they will point to it! Is it not admitting all that they have been contending for—hopelessness, injustice, inhu manity, tyranny, and ruin '1 And now,if the Ameri can people should be so lost to all sense of shame and decency as to endorse this declaration at a national election ; with what consistency will you stand up before langland and France, and ask them not to recognize the Confederacy 1 If-this war is Indeed a failure, would it not be an act of mercy, of justice, of humanity for, foreign Powers to step in and stbp It? • And do lon not, by this most infamous decla ration, invite them to do so ? I will prove to you that this is no' mere offspring of my imagination. Some Damage, Lord Lyons wrote to his Government et official despatch, in which the following passage (mimed "Several of the leaders of the Democratic arty ...sought interviews with me, both before and after shasarival of the intelligence of Gen. McClellan's 1 • isanistal. The subject 'uppermost in their minds, ~bile they were 'speaking to me, was naturally that / foreign mediation between North and Smith. Many 11 I hem seemed to think that this mediation must • ;come at last, but they appeared to be afraid of its , coming too soon. It was evident thatthey appre hended that a premature proposal of foreign inter ception would afford the radical party a means of reviving the violent war spirit, and thus of defeat ingthe powerful plans of the conservatives. They eppeared to regard the present moment as peculiarly , "unfavorable for such an offer, and, indeed, to hold abet it would be ' essential to the success of any pro posal from abroad that it should be deferred until the control of the Executive Government should be in the hands of the coriserratiue party." Foreign Powers having at last found a pretext for officially meddling with our difficulties, and, indeed, this seems to be part of the Chicago platform, we shall see the work trig of a new agency in the affairs of this conti nent—an agency which fortunately was unknown to us as long as the country was one • and that agency is foreign influence. That once admitted, as it will be by the adoption of the - Chicago policy, foreign influence will have the casting vote in all thatpimds • between us and the South. We shall not have two, great Powers on this continent, but four, and all but one bitterly against reunion. Whatever our ultimate decision may be after such developments whether att./emote the war at once, or to acquiesce in separa tion, and then, after a short breathing spell, launch into, the Confusion of a new conflict there is one thing certain : we, shall find the south so immense ly atrengthened, that, if for a people 'like this any task could be hopeless, this would be hopeless in - deed. And in the same measure as the South will be strengthened by this Chicago policy, so we shall he weakened. I have already alluded to the de moralization and disintegration of our military strength but that is not 'all. At present the enlightened opinion of , the liberal masses 01 Europe is on our side. That opin ion may in a crisis prove stron enough_ to bridle the action 01 governments. How can we expect that opinion to be true to us if we are trcaci erous' to ourselves ? You have heard of the people of Germany pouring their gold lavishly into tic treasury of the United States. You have beard of a loan of a thousand million of dollars' having been offered, and being now in progress of "negotiation. Would those people who are standing by us so generously in our embarrassments•havee alone so if they did not trust in our ability and de. termination to carry through the war 1 And now they are told by .a party that boasts of being about to erase the reins of government that the war is a l enure,. an-must be. given up. You who are 80 ,eldi ti porous about the condition 'of our treasury, do .you can that raising our -credit abroad 1 Truly,•if it . w ere your avowed object to reduce the Government to total impotency for want of means, to render the nation incapablo a of.- vigercois. movement, your plant •could .tot be more Sudicionsly ohosen. We may ask ourselves: how a policy so utterly absurd; aeeklese, and pernicious should Real any supporters embne men wbotie soma d sense and patriotism are uct completely extinguished,. r)nall the. reason in 'a vague impression here and 'there prevailing that the 'Union may be restored by a policy et conciliation and • compromise. I find it in the 'generous impulses, of magnanimous hearts; 'which, twit t that those who are.. conquered •stal'brotght - tteterilas should be reattached tons by r, kind and forbearing treatment. A compromise °tiered cu our pait would beaiseeartly eataatli two conditions: first, an abandonment of some essential point determined by the national election of 1860, for that was the occaidon of the secession of the rebels and, secondly, the stipulation that thp rebels shall give up the struggle andlreturn to their allegiance. Every sensible man knows that the rebels will cer tainly reject a compromise ,containing the second stipulation, as long as they entertain any hope of achieving their independence. The question arises whether it would be good policy to offer the first even by way of experiment. I want you to understand that a compromise in any ease, even if it could be effected, would be utterly inadmissible as a measure of peace. I want you to understand that there can be no compromises consistent with the safety of the Republic. It is said that the Constitution is founded on compromise, and so it is; but then there is one thing in the Con stitution that is not founded on compromise, which does not admit of any compromise, and is, in the very nature of things, absolute and imperative. It is e principle that when the will of the majority, upon a question constitutionally subject to be de cided by the majority, is once expressed and pro claimed in a constitutional manner, the minority 18 absolutely and unconditionally bound to submit. [Applause.] There is no cavilling about4his princi ple. It is the very foundation of republican• go vernment. Ile who loves the proper rule of deniocracy will not take' , it away. Without it the whole edifice will tumble down in a mass of chaotic, shapeless ruins. The observance of this principle is the fundamentalobligation of the citizen. Every measure of policy may be subject to compromise, but this fundamental obligation is not. It can be bound to no conditions, for if it were, it would cease to be absolute. Lot us apply it to our case. A constitutional election was hold in 1800. All the constitutional requirements were strictly fulfilled. Abraham Lincoln received a constitu tional number of votes. for the Presidency of the United States ,• and because the majority who elected him entertained certain ideas •of public • policy obnoxious to a minority, that minority rose in rebellion against the Govern ment.- You now propose to ask that rebellious minority back by relinquishing, some of the principles held by the majority. You do [this because the minority has risen up* in as= against the constitutionally expressed will of the majority. In other words, you, the majority, confess your 'Belies so far conquered that you will gladly surren der part of the decision of the ballot-box to the force ofarms. And thus far you declare the fundamental obligation of submission to the constitutional ver diet of the majority not binding. The minority, if it pleasis can compel the majority. to surrender the whole or part of its will. YOU introduce a new principle inpolitios by which the verdict of the ma jority at the ballot-box is set aside and appeal to negotiation and arms is made, and not the voting, but - the fighting party wins. Do you know what all thistmeansl It means the transformation of that great Republic, the United States,. into something like the old republics of Mexico and South America. It means the Government of revolutionary factions, instead of constitutional majorities. It means the introduction of rebellion as apermanent element in -our political life. [Applause.] Do not accuse me of seeing spectres. Do not indulge in the vain il lusion that this first great abandonment of the fun derisental obligation will remain ineffectual. Let • if he once known that the constitutional majority is ready tobe forced into concession, and the idea will have a peculiar chanra to_reckless and restless minds. The composition•of saiir pho:' 'not be what it has been heretofore. It will change. The end of the war will throw a fearful number of reck less and adventunmis spirits upon society, ready to , to respond to the call of any audacious 1 lefider. In an hour they may, .overleap the accus tomed boundaries of things. Their warlike habits,- added to their warlike tastes, will stimulate them to wild enterprises. and a ceaseless war of faction would be to them only too welcome. This is the material, and you know where to look for the lead ers. At this very moment the country is teeming with unscrupulous demagogues, with whom trea sonable scheming has become a habit. Already we hear of large importations of arms and ammunition, and their distribution among the members of seoret organizations. Already we .hear threats of armed resistance to the loyal majorities in case certain in dividuals are defeated. And you could be willing to open this • floodgate .of disorder by setting aside the only principle, the 'great fundamental obligation, that keeps the balance of democratic government. You would inaugurate a system by compromise and concession which pays and promises a premium to revolt. Is it not, indeed, astonishing that among merchants and manufacturers we should find so many advocates of that fatal policy And this they vainly imagine would lead to peace. Is the peace of Mexico and the SOuth American Republica the peace you want? .. Is a peace that would make the recurrence of revolt as natural and matter-of course as a Presidential election—is that the peace you desire 1 This, then, is compromise as a - peace measure. If it remains as a merely experimental engagement, there will result encouragement of the rebels and prolongation of the war. If it is. carried into effect, breaking down the great safe guard of social order, it will inaugurate an inter minable war of factions, but no peace. Peace, peace, when there is no peace! There can be no peace through compromis.c. [Applause.] And now give me leave to sum u i what I have said about the peace programme of Chicago. In pro posing that the war shall be snipped without making any peremptory condition, but merely with a view to what everybody knows there will be no agree ment, only encourages the rebels to persevere in their resistance. The -result will be either that the Government, if it falls into the hands 'of that [party, will have to recog nize the independence of the Southern Con federacy, or after a cessation of hostilities to ac quiesce in its independence. We shall then have on our hands an endless succession of wars ' which in the very nature of - things must grow out of dis union. If the Government, after a cessation of hos tilities, resumes the present war for the Union, we shall labor under immensely greater difficulties than at present, for these reasons : From such a cessation as proposed the rebels will derive such advantages that the struggle will be almost hope less and still as peace is impossible with disunion, it will be as necessary as ever. Second. By declaring before the whole world that the war is a. failure, by demanding its cessation on the score of justice, humanity, liberty, and the pub lic welfare, by thus declaring the rebels in the right,. and our Government in the wrong, and thus, by con demning and virtually abandoning the war for the Union, they invite foreign Powers to recognize the rebel Confederacy, and ,to throw their whole influ ence against an unjust, inhuman, and universally ruinous war. Third. By making the foregoing declarations they turn public opinion in foreign countries against us, and thus contribute to discourage the movements now going on to give us financial aid. And all this *bile it is'certain that the war must be continued, after a useless separation; or resumed ata more distant period. And, finally, by an implicit advancing of the. policy of: secession to armed rebellion, they propose to set aside the fun . damental. obligation of submission to the constitu .tionalwill.of the'majority, to remove the only guar ' antee of.democratie order, to pay a premium on revolt-'and to open the :flood-gates of civil disorder and:Wars of factions: This is thespregramme,these -itsanevitable.restilte: And. the%men who endeavor to Create,now complications, to increase our diffi culties, and aggravate the calamities of the war, are those who call themselves friends of peace.. Friends of peace Have they not made bloodshed enough that they should strive to make the war interminable? Is not the rebellion strong enough without their aid, and the money, arms, etc., that foreign nations give Are not our enemies s numerona enough without these friends striving' to engage foreign nations in their favor? ,Are not' our finances sufficiently em barrassed without their strivit.e,. to cut off those channels which are open to us? Have we so many friends in the world that they want to ruin us in the opinion of mankind? Areethey not yenatiated with ruin and desolation? Do they want new hecatombs of men; and the sacrifice •of another half century of swear and blood, to give them their fill? And these men have a front brazen enough to ask your votes,. telling you that they will give you peace. There are shore pirates, who in the night set out false lights on the ocean shore, when the weather is thick and stormy, to deceive and entice the tossed mari ner -into the fatal breakers, and then to plunder the ship whilst pretending to save it. Americans, I en treat you to beware. That light is a. false light ! There is no safe harbor behind it. There are no thing but. rocks, reefs, breakers shipwrecks, and ruin. That is the effect of their cry of peace. , But what shall we say of their patriotism 7—their plat form? If the rebel emissaries at Niagara Falls had made it we might understand, but that American citizens=-sons of the great and happy free States— should have assisteffcan scarcely be conceived by the free American heart.. We can scarcely believe It. [Loud and continued applause.] That platform! Show me the man who likes it most—he hates us worst. Show 'me the bitterest enemy of this re public—he will crave a ohanoe to vote for it. Show me the vilest villain in al) rebeldom—he who never prayed—he will sink upon his 'knees and pray for its success. [Great applause.] When we want to be particular in designating all that was humilia ' tieg to our. patriotic pride, alt that was ruinous to the honor and safety of the Union, all that was eon ttemptible and dastardly treacherous in the conduct of our national affairs—if we want to designate all this by one name, we pall it. James Buchanan [Laughter and clones.] We thought that period in our history might be .consigned to oblivion as it' had been consigned to shame—but, alas ! though Buchanan is dead and biirled, [laughter,] those who indulged in the soothing delusion that such a man could leave any progeny were much mistaken. [Laughter.] He did, and they met 'not long ago in the Chicago Convention. The laurels of their father do not let them sleep. I see ngain the Gunning twinkle of the eye—the white necktie. They try to adjust it like a halter around the throat of the Republic to choke her to death. The sons are greater than the sire. What he did was as a weak old man, whose life had been spent in the constant exercise of his knee-joints. [Laughter.] Who, when the rebellion raised its Gorgon head, had neither the - firmness of a patriot, nor the courage of a traitor. [Applause.] Their work was done after the blood of thousands of noble men had stained the battle-field ; alter money had been poured out like water. They did it after our invin cible navy had battered down Southern forts and were commanding_ Southern waters—[applause] ; when the hero of Vicksburg was thundering at the gates of Richmond—[enthusiastic applause] ; 'while our victorious flag waved over Atlanta. [Thunders of [applause]. Poor old man I hide thy head in shame, for thou canst no longer claim proud pre-eminence in. baseness. There are those—the makers of that platform—who laugh thy iniquity to scorn. And upon that platform a soldier has been placed, one who once commanded the armies of the Republic. Was there ever a man more cruelly insulted by his friends? [Laughter.] A general. nominated fbr-the Presidency for the purpose of trading away other men's victories, to make the successes of others useless! He did not resent the insult. No ! he endured it—this out rageous, mortal offence—without saying a word. Meanwhile murmurs of indignation rose against him, (their former commander) from the army like a black cloud. Cries of anger and contempt broke out against the infamous Chicago surrender . just then, a thrill of joy ran through the hearts of the people—Atlanta was ours) Prudence then came to help the voice of just resentment. Now at last, did he spurn the platform and-refuse to be its candi date '1 No the golden opportunity was lost. He neither repudiated nor approved, but ignored the platform and accepted the, nomination. [Laughter.] He brought the art How-not-to-se.y.it, to a statgof great perfection, in a skilfully.worded political let ter. But that was not the-;first political letter of his lice. He Mt written-. another a year before. a hat letter endorsed the principles and 'advocated the election of Judge Woodward to the Governor. ship of this State. Who was Judge Woodward? You know better than 1 can tell you that he was a Peace-Copperhead, and went as tar as any . oe them dated-to go. When was this letter written? The circumstances are• significant. We had been dee feated at .Chickamauga; the army in Virginia was in a .oritical condition, its campaign having come to a complete atand-still. The horizon was dark. Then the General endorsed a peace-man. This is most interesting for the people to re member, when they come to 'see how he spcke after a defeat. [Applause.] We will see that he has somewhat changed his tune after a tory, and - will know how he will be likely to speak in case of defeat again. rlsaughter.] Ido not insinuate that the General was dishonest 'in his letter. Ho means what. he gys now; he mOantt. what hesaid then. The General is a gentleman, but his letter furnishes a fair indication of the policy we, may look to from that quarter. His answer. is 'this :" While I detest that sort of peace spiritism afraid of that sort of war svirit " [Laugh-. ter.] - K. IS for peace-when the horizon Is gloomy; for war.:when it is brieslat. Is this fair-weather patriotism what we want 3 What if tri.'morrow an untowa t rd accident should overtake our armies, will this country stand the test 1 It is in .the hour of darkness the country. needs most 7the unswerving devotion of hor _sons. [Great ap plause.] And this trmness will have to stand a singular test, We shall have the spectacle of an honest, but not very inflexible character itt very bad company. There la no american who does not know that a _President's policy ie. not made by him self alone, but by Hose who made him ;. and there is LO•A erican who will forget that dux strengthof the vote which nominated this Chicago candidate was far exceeded by the 'unanimity by which the platter - orwae - adopted.

The good things Of office will not be enjoyed, but the forfeit will ke claimed. and taken, [Laughter.] I • am not jesting. I mean what > I - This party . must go to pieces, or it. most be • held together by bargain and sale. If it goes to pieces, well and good ; the smaller the pieces the better. [Laughter.] But if it is to behold together by bargain and Bale, what is the price at which the support of the sur render men can be procured I These party-hacks are not the men who work merely for the gra tification of another man's ambition. How the leaders of the surrender party press around the throne and claim the forfeit ! Will the new war President then lean for strength upon his brother Pendleton, that most abject and submissive of all Peace Democrats? What will he do with those who talk peace 1 How magnificent this combination would be 1 Horatio Seymour as Secretary of State and chief of the circumlocution office. He would well - suit that., for none, as the Convention at Chi cage proved, could say more and mean less. [Great laughter.] Then we have Seymour, of Connecticut, Secretary of the Navy ,• Vallandigham, Secretary of War, and Pernando Wood, in consideration of the peculiar lustre which his honesty sheds upon his talents, [laughter,] Secretary of the Treasury. And should such a combination, resorted to as a last refuge, be more wonderful than the harmony of the Chicago Convention ? I am notijesting in this matter. It is with a sense of relief that I turn from this fearfill labrynth of confused contradictions, of dark arrangements, of continually-shifting pretences, to another programme of peace policy, which has at least the merit of consistency In Its principles, of unyielding firmness In its policy, and of straight forward clearness in its propositions. It Is the platform of the great Union party. [Applause.] Let us examine the wisdom of its policy with a view to the restoration of peace. Its first resell tien reeds thus Resolved, That it is the highest duty of every Ameri can citizen to maintain against all their enemies the in tegr, ty 01 the Union and the paramount authority of the Constitution and laws of the United States; and that, laying aside all differences and political opinions, we pledge ourselves as. Union men, animated by a com mon sentiment, and aiming at a common object, to do everything in our power to aid the Government in quell ing by force of arms the rebellion now raging against its authority, and in bringing to the punishment due to their crimes the rebels and traitors arrayed against it. This, at limit, is clear and definite. There are no " ifs " nor "buts." Starting from the conviction that disunion will bring on interminable conflicts, and that, if in the interest of fear alone the Union must, absolutely must be restored—and only our enemies abroad and o traitors at home doubt that— and that the rebels will. not consent to reunion un less the victories of our army and navy bring them to teems—and only fools doubt- that—it is af firmed that there is nothing left to us but to seek peace by a resort to arms, by vigor 'and energy in its prosecution of the war, and by a faith ful and devoted support of the Government in its efforts to secure a speedy and decisive victory. This we explicitly declare to be the sense of the loyal American people. [Applause.] Not one of the points we have won is given up ;• not one step is done backward ; not one advantage gained is jeopardized by a prevaricative polidy ; and while the Democratic promise of armistice and premature ,concesiion, by exhibting a flagging spirit and a vacillating purpose, can only serve to encourge the rebels to persevere in their resistance, our in. flexible determination will make them count the cost ; and If the Southern people are really tired of the war, if they really want peace, they will at last have to make up their minds, once for all, that.' they cannot get rid of this war, with its burdens . and its sacrifices, unless they buy peace at the only price at which it can be bought, the restoration of. the Union. . , . , And, moreover, this declaration will make Euro pean Governments understand that we do not con sider this war a failure, nor that we mean to make it so ; and that, if they should conclude to give the rebellion countenance, and' aid and comfort, they will never succeed in changing our unalterable de termination, but may, indeed, succeed In pressing our resentment beyond the limits of mere remon strance. And as to our detractors abroad, who are so anxious for peace and the cessation of blood-abed, but still more anxious for the breaking up of this Republic ; who, when some disaster has befallen us, so blandly endeavor to persuade us tbat now it is time to stop, that now we can endure it no longer ; that after all separation would be best for both par ties (they omit to speak of third and fourth parties), and that our own welfare would be best promoted by consenting to it without unnecessary delay, and.who, when, in spite of their magnanimous ad vice, we steadily work on; show their little humor by accusing us of heartlessness and barbarism, fla voring their urgenciei from time to time with a dark rumor of foreign intervention ; by this declara tion we give them to understand, once for all, that they might as well bridle their tender solicitude; that the American people .are not acting upon the vast impulse of passion, but upon convictions broad and deep ; that according to those convictions a lasting peace is impossible with disunion; that, therefore, whatever sacrifice it may cost, the Union must be restored at d will be restored ; that this is our set purpose, and that they are not smart enough to coax us out of it, and we humbly suspect not for midable enough to frighten us out of it. [Great ap plause.] Fins Hy, this will tell our friends abroad, they being true to us, we shall be true to them; that they not only will be' protected against their aid becoming a sacrifice, but will once have the satisfac tion of having contributed to the success of the greatest cause of this country. And now I appeal to you, Union men, and I ap peal to you alsoZ•Bemocrats, is this or is it not the only policy worthy of the great American peo plot Answer! Rnt here we do not stop. The rebellion being beaten down, the rebels being obliged to keep peace for the present by the utter exhaustion of their forces, peace must be secured for the future. The Union party presents for this object another resolu tion. lt reads thus : Resolved, That we approve the deteimination of the Government of the United States not to compromise With rebels, or to offer any . terms of peace except such as may be based upon an ` unconditional surrender" of their hostility, and a return to their just allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that we call upon the Government to maintain this po-, sition,and to nrosecrite the - war with the utmost pos sible vigor to the complete suppression of the rebellion, in full reliance upon the self-sacrifice, the patriotism, the heroic valor; and the undying devotion of the Ame rican people to their country and its free institutions. While we all agree that hatred and resentment ought to have no share MA° final settlement of our differences, it. is declared that the lawful authority of the Government must be vindicated in such a manner as to leave the fundamental obligations of the citizen towards it no longer in doubt. In other words, if you have a matter ofprinciple or of policy to discuss, to defend, to carry, there are the means to discuss, to defend, to carry iL If you succeed, well and good., If you fail, you must try again by the same means or give • up. But whoever rises in re bellion against the will , of the majority, constitu tionally expressed, must be brought co submit to it unconditionally, so that every man, woman, and child throughout this' broad land may-know that nothing, nothing at all, can be made by forcibly resist ing- that will. This point once sternly, inflexibly established, no man will henceforth be tempted to embark in an enterprise-which is so perilous and also so hopeless.. • • . But the peace of ,the Republic must not rest upon submission alone ( ,it.must be plated upou a solid foundation,. by, securing _the hearty co-operation of the now rebellious people- in Abe future develop ment of the restored Union. Then, indeed, peace will be perfect. And this great object is subserved by another proposition submitted by tile Union party. It is this : Reftoltod, That ag slavery . was the -cam, and now constitutes the strength of this rebellion, and as it must be alwayr and everywhere hostile to tee principles of republican government, justice and the national safitv demand its utter and complete..extirpation from the soft of the Republic, and that we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by which the Government, in its own defence, has aimed a death blow at this gigantic evil.. We are in favor, furthermore. of such an amend ment to the Constitution, to be made by the people in conformity with its provisions, as shall terminate and forever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits of tle jurisdiction of the United States • • To the sympathizers with rebellion do we say, von try in vain to stop this nation's march by throwing yourselves under her feet. Come with us if von will ' • or we will march over you, If we must. [Long continued applause.}" In every pulsation of the popular heart, In every breeze there Is victory; az d in the midst •of the din And confusion of the conflict there stands the National will undisturbed, in monumental repose, and gives his quiet com mand : • For the great Empire of Liberty, Forward! .. General Schnrz retired amid deafening applause. :When the applause for Mr. Schurz had [subsided, the whole audience joined in an uproarious cry for Hon. Wm. D. Kelley. In response he came forward and said that he only appeared on the stage at the kind invitation of the Union League, and that he would address them on the great Issues of the day, in that hall, next Thursday. evening. The last audience then separated. IMMERSE RATIFICATION MEETIV F IN CAMDEN. Camden court-house was jammed last night by a formal ratification meeting of the friends of Lincoln and Johnson. It was estimated to be the largest assemblage Camden has ever known. The Hon. A. G. Cattail presided, assisted by several vice presi dents and secretaries, and stirring resolutions were adopted. Hon. A. Q. Keasbey, of Newark, made a power:Ill address in favor of the Union and against the Democratic platform and candidates, and the Hon. James K.

The meeting closed with cheers for the whole ticket, and with a determination to redeem New Jersey in November. TWENTY-FOURTH WARD MEETING.

CORN NTNEGAR The season for pickling is at hand, and for this purpose the public have at command, at very reason. able rates, a choice article, known as corn vinegar. This material was Introduced within a year or so by Mess's. Deming St do., who have, by this time, realized the practical effect of that passage in Shak speare, about a certain tide in the affairs of man kind; which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.

It is in all well-kept householdg; pickling establish ments, both here and abroad, have been supplied with it • extensive arrangements have been made by enterprising proprietors to bring the desired article to the very doors of the residents. See the .rray of the names of grocers where it can be had. A. chemi cal analysis of this vinegar was made some time since. and the result was highly satisfactory.. Itis entirely free of drugs of any kind, and pickles may be kept in it good and sound for many years.
