WALKER. * C|r;^:r ; rss. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1664. "VIOB PIIEBIDSNT HamLIH’S ArrOIHTMENTS.— Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, .Yico President of the United States,"will address the people of Pennsyl vanla at the following pl aces: Carlisle, Thursday, October 27. Chambersburg, Friday, Oct. 28. Gettysburg, Saturday, October 29, Judge Black's Apology for the Rebellion. Judge Black, in liis recent speech in this city, began by saying that be would promise Ms audience no amusing entertainment. It would have been better for bis reputation bad he given himself wholly to bufl’onery and played the clown instead of the seces sionist; for there is nothing more sad than to see the degradation of intellect to the service of evil, and if Judge Black has not deliberately become the servant of party, the enemy of his country, and the slave of slavery, we are ignorant of the meaning of words. The doctrine of his speech is in famous; it is almost a national disgrace that any free-born American could rise in a Northern city to defend the sale of men and women, to declare Northern love of freedom the cause of the rebellion, and, at a time when traitors are raging against his Government, to say not one word against treason, but to apologize for it, to defend it, to give it all the encouragement in his power. To read this speech brings the blood to the cheek, like a blow ; it is an insult to every Northern man, woman, and child ; it is an outrage on common political decency, and a mockery on all that patriots hold dear. Upon its author we make no personal attack; but if forever dis sever his name from this utterance, it would be like Tazing out the inscription on a tombstone. No one could say in the free, nobler future “ the dead doctrine which lies in this dishonored grave is yours.” ' At once Judge Black announces Ms foe. Is it the rebellion ? No !it is the Nortb. <l The enemy we have now to contend against is the Abolition party—its influence now overshadows this whole continent; it controls the Executive with absolute sway; it commands an army whose num bers are counted by hundreds of thou sands.” Yes, and against; this party, which did not exist until the slaveholding friends of Judge Black rebelled against the Go vernment, which alone protects the Union, and which controls every loyal State and will re-elect Abraham Lincoln in No vember, he uses all his power. It is the party he hates, despises, and would destroy; but it is also the party the rebels hate, de spise, and would destroy. It is, indeed, the vast majority of the loyal American people; and if these are the enemies of Judge Black, let them beware of those who are his friends. . If the accusations he has made against the North are true, then the South is ab solved of Biin, for, compared with our wick edness, their’s would be as virtue. We, the freemen of'the North, who said that slavery should not be established-in free Ter ritories; who elected, constitutionally, Abra ham Lincoln, our President; who only sought to keep the Union true to the great principles on which it was established—are guilty as he declares of outrages on the rights of States, of hopelessly dividing the country, and of compelling the people of the South to rebel, in self-defence. By what misrepresentation he has colored these charges, we need not say; those who doubt the accuracy of our report of his speech, published on Tuesday morning, are referred to it in the columns of his own party organ a day later. They need not look far for proof that the enemies of Judge Black are not the rebels, that the great crime is not treason, in his opinion, but the -resistance we have made to treason. They will find him hunting the colored man with -the eagerness of a fugitive slave commis sioner, sneering at human liberty, de nouncing the people of the North as crimi nals, and carefully avoiding any word that ■could he construed into censure of the open foes of his country. We mark this point. We believe it •worse than his denial of the right to eo ■erce a State in rebellion, or the flimsy, worn-out quibble by which he would show ■the manner in which the Government has tried to put down the rebellion to be as unconstitutional as the rebellion-itself. To us the ignominy of his speech is its enmity to the North, and its want of manliness in -excusing and defending the rebellion. Just within the line of formal loyalty, and far within the boundaries of real hostility to the Union, Judge Black has done all that a Northern man dares in aid of Southern -treason. A word more, and no one could have shown the difference between his ■opinions and those of any open rebel. And forget it - not, that with all this ferocious hatred of the principles sustained by every loyal State, Judg'e Black supports Mc •Clellan. With the rebels, he declares the election of McClellan to be his only hope. ' A correspondent, whose position enti tles his opinions to consideration, sends us a protest against the publication of the speeches of certain Democratic leaders in The Pbess. We might summarily end the matter by saying that we print a news paper, and give news without asking whe ther it expresses our opinions or not. There are many leaders in the Democratic party, whose statements are always read, and entitled to a careful reading. They are pernicious; but we claim to haye the power, with truth on our side, to show in what respects they are so. This, we think, we have never failed to do. Error is power less with truth left free to combat it, and in our own way and good time we have tried to print the truth. Thus far we have given our readers full reports of four ■speeches—those of Emerson Etheridge, John Van Boren, Judge Black, and Bevekdy Johnson. These are public men. They have national reputations, and are ■entitled to be heard as matters of news, just as we hear the opinions of Jefferson Davis and Louis Napoleon. To do this requires money and enterprise, and we have spent money as freely upon them as ■we do upon. Gael Schurz, Henry "Winter Davis, Hannibal Hamlin, and other good men who come here to help the cause. In the case of Judge Black, The Press of -next morning alone contained a report of .his speech, his own Copperhead organ "being compelled, from motives of poverty, we presume, to follow the day after with a report that seems to have heen taken from: our columns, and revised by the author. The truth is, if we may be pardoned for •saying it, The Press is the only paper in. ithis State —one of the few papers in the (Country—that invariably gives all sides a hearing. We sent our reporters to Demo cratic Conventions, and followed the move ments of Democratic leaders; and the na tural result is, that air men read The -pjvEßS—the Union men from love, the ‘Copperheads from necessity. ,By this means our journal is read by everybody, taud we address an audience that is reached iby no other agency in Pennsylvania. Wc are gratified with tliisjresult, and see in it a fair return for the money-we have spent. As a newspaper, we print the sayings and doings of every man in America or else where whose sayings or doings can at all interest the people. As a journal, we say what our conscience tells us to -be right. When wc fail in this we are open to criti cism, but otherwise we prefer not to be controlled even, by the wishes of one as eminent as our correspondent. ,g Franco to against the 'hero ftro the aranteed by ma,.aad Tns iraagaa, Na -0 duchies of 1 where the have passed or alliances, itenca Jto, 'of his conn- Idieas: * 'To • a Govera- Sance, how .eqnate snb i Infraction? time, have Mr. Chase To-Night. The great meetings at Union League Hall, and the hall of the Invincibles, are fleing immense good. Philadelphia has done and will do her whole duty in this canvasß, and if equal energy 1b shown throughout the State, Judge Kki.iyey’s declaration that Pennsylvania is good for ten thousand majority on the home vote, will be more than sustained. Last night Rev. J. Walker Jackson made a forcible address at Union League Hall, which wo print to-day. This evening Hon. S. P. Chase and Bon. Amos Myers will ad dress the citizens of Philadelphia. No man lias shown a nobler loyalty, none a higher intelligence, than Mr. Chase, and very few, indeed, have so well served the coun try. He is not the less in being no longer an officer of the Government, for men of his nature are the born leaders of a nation. The letter of liobert J. Walker. Roheht J. Walker, eminent even among those eminent Southerners who have so nobly contended for the Union, and though, since the war began, he has chiefly shown his loyalty by his services abroad, his influence has been great at home. In England he exposed the faith lessness of Jeff Davis in the repudiation of the debt of Mississippi, and, perhaps more than any other man, has enabled Eu ropeans to form a true estimate of our na tional resources. It has been fortunate for us that we have had so well-informed and faithful a reprcsentatfve in England, He sends Americans a letter, published on our first page to-day, from advanced proof-sheets, which will be found a masterly and an exhaustive analysis of the political situation. It is long, but it deals with great issues so thoroughly that it must command careful attention. Mr. Walker’s arguments are always based on stubborn facts, and not till these arc dis proved can his conclusions be denied. The friends of the Union will find this letter an arsenal of loyal weapons. Pennsylvanians arc called upon by Au guste Belmont, Richard Yaux, Horatio Seymour, and men of similar calibre and politics, to “ vote for McClellan.” As suredly, not with any local claim, for, though a native of Philadelphia, McClel lan has repudiated the Keystone State. He has chosen, as candidate for the Presi dency, to hail from New Jersey, with which he had as much personal connexion as with a province in Turkey. Pennsylvania, he practically declares, is not good enough for him, and, disowning it, he spread his wings, alighted in New Jersey, and adopts that State as his own. Wo have no doubt that Pennsylvania, which has contrived to sur vive the loss of such a very " young Na poleon,” will ignore him, when the ques tion of the Presidency will be virtually decided next month. New Jersey may make what she can of McClellan. As suredly, he is not the stuff to be worked up into a President, who ought to be decided in resolve, and quick as well as effective in action. -■ /; - ■ Mr. Reyebdy Johnson, who lately in structed rebel-sympathizing nqinority of Maryland that an oath might be solemnly taken and lightly: broken, last night founded the best part of his speech on a political document pretending to be a Union publication, which he confessed might be a forgery. We find nothing new in. his address, for, even the trick o# putting false words into the mouths of Union speakers is old. Mr. Johnson’s anonymous pamphleteer wants every adult in the South exterminated, and upon this Mr. Johnson goes into humane convulsions. What horrors ! What cruelty! How can we elect a President pledged to this awful policy ! We think this speech wifi do our Union readers little harm, and commend it to their mercy, regretting that Mr. Charles Brown did not also distin guish himself. Democracy Repudiated bV one of its Representatives. —The lion. Henry S. Stebbins, the eloquent and distinguished finance : member of Congress, has, with a noble candor, resigned his membership, because he cannot, consistently with truth, represent Ms Democratic constituency. In doing so, he says: “My labors as your representative, during the first session of tie Thirty-eighth Congross, were given to the support of the Q-overnment. Through out the session I favored a vigorous prosecution of the war until the authority of the Government should be re-established over every part of the; United States. I favored and supported the mea sures introduced by those who were empowered to conduct the Government up to March .4, ISOS, and who were acting In obedience to their official oaths ‘to discharge their duty to the best of their abilities.’ Throughout the session I was opposed to the taking of any steps to a peace calculated to weaken the national authority, for that required negotiations with men in rebellion who had hot laid down their arms. ■ : • “ Were I to remain in Congress during the ses sion to commence In December next, I should per sistently adhere to these same principles and to this same action.” . It is to be hoped that honest; men of all parties will unite and send Mr. Stkb btns back to the seat which he lias honored. To-day and to-morrow, between 1 and 10 P. M., the extra assessment of citizens lia ble to State, city, and personal tax, will he continued before the assessors of the dif ferent wards. No Unionist who can vote should neglect this notice, or fail to warn his friends. The various ward committees have a considerable ; portion of their duty to perform in seeing that every Union citi zen is assessed. Not a single patriotic vote should be lost at the momentous election in November. ■ Mere majorities in the forthcoming elec tion will not be enough; nor will even large majorities satisfy the cause. We be lieve with Secretary Chase that the Union majority should be so overwhelming and decisive as to extinguish every hope of the rebel leaders, and their sympathizers abroad and at home, and to show that the Ameri can people are true to the core. To this end let the friends of the Union organize and work, and still work and organize, in every township, county, and; district of the State, “ Bovs, keep your eyes on the flag,” were the last words of Gen. Birney. His last act was not less noble. Carried to the polls on the day of the election, he voted the whole Union ticket. Could the soldier, remembering the -inspired, example of this dying hero, vote for and with those whose leaders; stamp dishonor on the grave of Birney ? : “ Geo. N. Sanders, one of the fathers of the peace movement at Niagara and of the Chicago Convention, is also patron of the robbers and murderers who invaded Vermont. Whenever a rebel is hurt, some men cry “ unconstitutional!” Mr. ' Sanders just as well Understands the vir tue of audacity. When some of the Cana da thieves were caught he cried out, “ Shocking breach of neutrality !” General Sterling Price, while plun dering and burning the houses of Missouri Unionists, harangues his sympathizers in favor of, McClellan -, rebel soldiers, on picket before Richmond, cry out cheers for peace and McClellan ; rebel officers confidently declare that an armistice will bring on recognition of the Confederacy; the friends of the rebels assert that Mc- Clellan’s election'will prove the failure of the war and the triumph of the South; Alexander H. Stephens favors the Chi cago platform ; and Jefferson Davis, who scouts the idea of Union and reconstruction, vows that the hope of the Confederacy is in the election of McClellan. A Repudiator. False Pretences, When some solitary scamp, impelled by pressing necessities, and the superadded u wicked devices of the devil,” enters a store, and contracts a bill of goods, under the plea that he has a balance on the right side in bank, or is able to command other' assets, and it is'subsequently discovered that his representations were all barefaced falsehoods—such adventurer, on convic tion before a court of competent jurisdic tion, is sentenced to the penalty of a heavy fine and years of imprisonment. Such is the law, and it is based on principles of justice that are patent to every intelligent mind. And now, if such a righteous retribution be made to overtake a solitary transgressor, who, by such low craft and cunning, de frauds a merchant out of a few hundred dollars’ worth of goods, what sort and de gree of punishment ought to be inflicted on a party that, seeks to gain the suffrages of a free and intelligent people on representa tions palpably false and deceptive, and that thus seeks to swindle them out of the dearest civil rights ever enjoyed by man ? This is. precisely what the so-called " De mocracy” is attempting to clo just now. They are seeking to gain popular favor by false pretences —by claiming to be for war in one latitude and for peace in another, and by commemorating victories that are positive defeats! If the United States District Attorney is not too amiable a man he will enforce against them the law which makes it a penal offence to obtain values under false pretences. Colored People in the City Cars. Several cases of violent ejection of re spectable colored people from the city cars have lately come to notice. Excellent wo men have been dragged and kicked out of the cars, with shocking insult and pro fanity, by brutes of conductors, whom it seems the railway companies arc still will ing to employ. No wonder that ladies of our own color were outraged by such con duct toward their sex, and indignantly left the ears. It seems that in one case a lady of color was invited by mistake into a.car, where she remained for some time without complaint from the passengers. Suspect ing her color, the ruffian having charge of the car immediately proceeded to insult her and force her from the car. One of these cases, will come up before Court, and we fervently hope that thorough justice may be done. Every lady and gentleman in the com munity must have blushed at the recital of such facts as these. No true man, what ever his color or prejudice, would stand by and see such outrages committed upon women—they must not be tolerated. ‘ We may as well look out for our pocket-books when such a class of' conductors become the tyrants of our city-cars—for the acts of which we complain are only worthy of convicts. The wrong done to the colored people is not half as great as the shame brought upon white men and women by such gratuitous exhibitions of brutal cowardice. But we complain still further. Why do our car companies keep in their service uncivil and indecent conductors ? j If they kick black women out of the cars, i may they not venture also to insult white women? Well, we have heard of conduc tors insulting white women. ‘We call to the correction of these evils the fairness, common-sense, and virtue of tlfte public. That a considerable and the poorest portion of the public is unjustly and selfishly denied /the common con veniences and comforts of the poor, on ac count of an unreasonable, prejudice—a pre judice only exerted by a small minority of the. people—no sensible man will deny. On our great railroads we have seen, time after time, poor women mocked and cursed because they entered the same car with white people, and' sought to obtain," what every company must guarantee to its pa. trons, the value of their tickets. On the other hand, white people are not-slow to invade the ■ premises of the blacks, if a single advantage to be gained. We are willing, to accept their money, their custom, and their aid in various ways— cannot we tolerate them in a matter even smaller than these ? But we think, also, that the coforcd people have an indubitable moral and legal right to public considera tion, and they need ask nothing for mere charity’s sake. If an unwholesome preju dice must be nursed and petted, if colored • people cannot be allowed to ride in the same cars with the while, let separate cars be provided for them, though we should prefer, on grounds of pure right, to have such an arrangement made for those who have prejudices. Gentlemen have been a]-, lowed to take their dogs with them in the cars from which a colored lady has been dragged or kicked-, out. Here is a contrast which ought to put manhood to the blush, and arouse an indignant sentiment of cor rection. Popular economies are intended for the poor, rather than the rich. If well dressed white people have prejudices, they can far better afford to suffer than the poor people whose room they occupy. ... Falsehood.— The. World of yesterday states that Mr. Lincoln declared at the Sanitary Fair in PMladelphia : “ I only ask for four years more of war to abolish slavery in every one of ;■ the Southern States.” Nothing even like this was ut tered by Mr. Lincoln, as pur own strict reports will testify. We challenge the World to the proof. Failing tliis, the World should, in decency, retract its error, just as it retracted or withdrew the Webster forgery, which has, up to the present time, been; a favorite argument of Democratic speakers.;: : Closing Churches to Elect McClel lan. —Mr. James S. Thayer, a spokesman for McClellan, who expressed, the wish that “the churches had been closed for twenty years,” said in Lockport that ‘ ‘ McClellan, he thought, could be trium phantly elected if only the Presbyterian churches could be closed for forty days.” A Mr. Vaux declared a few nights since, in this city, that the pulpit was the enemy of Democracy, and that“ the only place to hear the Gospel preached now-a-days was at a Democratic meeting !” Such evidence as the following,' volun teered us by a veteran soldier, is not rare: “ On the advance from Fislier’s Hiil.l talked with a rebel captain. He stated to me that the only hope of the rebels to gain their Independence was in the election of General McClellan; for, In that event, he will be rendered powerless by such men as Soy mour, Wood, Valiandlgham, and the men who would constitute his Cabinet. He also stated that an armistice would be declared, the blockade be raised, and we ‘ Yanks ’ would have to go north of the Rappahannock. ‘ England will flood the South with her goods, and then we can say to ygu Yanks— Recognize our national position and give ns back what you took from us, of we’ll fight you four years more.’ I find this to be the general opinion of the rebel prisoners.

' Headquarters Military Division of the the West, Oct. IT—ln assuming command at this critical juncture of the Military Division of the West, I appeal to my countrymen of all classes and Bectlons for their generous support and confidence. In assigning me to this responsible position, the President of the Confederate States has extended to me the assurance of his earnest support. The Executives of your States meet me with similar expressions of their devotion to our cause. The noble army in the army, composed of. brave men and gallant officers, are not strangers to me, and I know that they will do all that patriots'oan achieve. The history of tho past, written In the blood oi their comrades, but ibreshadows the glo rious future whioh lies before them. Inspired with these bright promises of success, I make this appeal to the men and women of my country to lend me the aid of their earnest and cor dial co-operatioD. Unable to join In the bloody confiiets of the field, they can do much to strengthen our cause, fill up our ranks, encourage our soldiers, Inspire confidence, dispel gloom, and thus hasten on the day of our final success and deliverance. The army of Sherman still defiantly holds the city of Atlanta. He can and must be driven from it. It is only for the good people of Georgia and tho sur rounding States to speak the word, and this work is done. We have abundance of provisions. There are men enough in the country, liable and able for service, to accomplish , this result. To all such I earnestly appeal to report promptly to their respec tive commands, and;let those who cannot go see to it that none remain at home who are able to strike a blow in this critical and decisive hotir. To those soldiers of the army who are absent from their commands I appeal, In the name of their brave comrades, with whom they have In the past so often shared the privations of camp and the dangers of the battle field, to return at once to their duty, To all such as shall report to their respective com mands in response to this appeal within the next thirty days, an amnesty Is hereby granted. My ap peal is to every one, of all classes and Conditions, to come forward freely, cheerfully, and with good heart to tho work that lies before us. a My countrymen, respond to this call as you have done in days that have passed, and, with the bless ings of a kind and over-ruling Providence, the enemy .will be driven from your soil ; the security of your, wives and daughters from Insults ami out rages of a brutal loe sho.ll be established soon, and be followed by a permanent and honorable peace.- The claims of home and country, wife and chil dren, uniting with the demands of honor and pa triotism, summon us to the field. We cannot, dare not, will not fail to respond. Full of hope and confidence, I come to join In your struggles, sharing your privations, and with your brave and true men to strike the blow that shall bring success to our arms, triumph to our cause, and peace to our country. /.

CONTEMPLATED BACKING AND ROBBING OF RO CHESTER, BUFFALO, AND DETROIT—ATTEMPTED RELEASE OF PRISONERS ON JOHNSON’S ISLAND. The Dotroit Tribune of Monday gives the follow ing account of the lately-frustrated designs of the rebels In Canada: The rebels, being unable to accomplish any great result by guerilla outrages, concocted a scheme to Interfere as much as possible wlth|the tranquillity pervading the lake borders. In .order to accom plish their designs a Major StsLawrenco was sent to Canada, as secret agent of the rebel Government, with a large amount of money, which ho was In stiucted to pay to any “ Confederates” there who might he willfngto undertake several raids Into the difierent Northern .States, for the purpose of de stroying property. This Major St, Lawrence called upon Colonel Steele and many other prominent rebels at Wind sor, early laßt spring, and made known to them his errand. They agreed to enter Into the conspiracy, but not knowing whom to trust, two lodges of Knights of the Southern Cross were organised there in order to call, the faithful together. For tunately or unfortunately, as the case may be, their schemo was revealed to the military authorities in Detroit, and steps were at once taken to thwart their designs. The arrangements were those: A large number of rebels were to take passage at Port Huron, and come hero on the Grand Trunk Rail road, while a similar number were to cross tho river at Wyandotte, and take the Southern Railroad. They were to meet In the night, in Detroit, and their first movement was to be the capture of all the armg, ammunition, and soldiers-at the barracks, and then commence their work of destruction. After describing how the rebels obtained their arms, the Tribune continues: Major St. Lawrence was cashiered, and Jacob Thompson and George N. Sanders sent outtosnper- InteDct operations, as soon as these worthies ar 'rived in Caqjula, they announced themselves as peace commissioners, lor the purpose of covering up their real designs. It was decided to make ah attack on Johnson’s Island for the purpose of re leasing the prisoners, but their plans leaked out: and the steamer Michigan was ordered there. _ The real object of these raids was to release the prisoners at the above place, with the aid of whom they intended ’to operate at different places along' the frontier. Among the rebel officers engaged la this soheme were aGaptainOlay Wilson, ofTennes see, and two lieutenants named Murray; and Da mon, who were possessed of receipts for making Greek fire. Another individual had made a ma chine for throwing this combustible matter Into such places as they intended to destroy. The rebels intended to destroy a great portion rif not all of Detroit, Buffalo and Rochester, and while the excitement incident thereto was" at Its height, congregate for an attack on the island. They Intended to commence their incendiarism in Detroit at the Central Railroad ■ Depot, visit the various warehouses along the docks, touch them off, and finally end at the Detroit and Milwaukee and Southern depots. At Buffalo, the large eleva tors adjacent to the Creek were to be visited, and wholly destroyed. Atßochester an expedition was to go up the Genesee river to Hanford’s Landing, and fire the City at different places.; Besides these depredations, the banks were to have been robbed, etc. And on the return ef the expedition, the ele vators atMlharlotte were to have been burned. While ail this was going on, a force was to be sent to capture the U. S. steamer Michigan, and release the prisoners she was guarding. Some time in July, we believe, George N. San ders telegraphed to a “Doctor” Payne, then re siding at Windsor, who was also among the; conspi rators, to meet him at a certain inland town In Canada, A conference was held,'quite a number of prominent rebels, including Jake Thompson, being present: Everything being in .readiness, they order ed the signal hoisted, which was to give several days’ notice of the attack to those interested. The following day there was quite a commotion among Iho military at the barracks and in this city. . Extensive preparations were made, of which the rebels became aware, and abandoned thelr’pro ; ject. Thompson, Banders, & Co, were beaten at their own game. Colonel Steele, and the men Morgan and Jack son before mentioned, then organized a, band to cap ture the Michigan themselves. This resulted In the capturo of the Philo Parsons and Island Queen. • The rebels who did not get on board at Detroit were conveyed to Sandwich and Amherstbnrgby Joseph Oullettc, eleven being taken .to the latter place. Steele remained behind. The desperadoes, how ever, returned without accomplishing their designs. They were met by Colonel Steele, and abused ter ribly for their lack of pluck. Another demonstra tion was then made. Tho night after the de struction of Messrs. Bissell & Gillot’s-warehouses, arrangements were made to capture the tug H. p. Clinton. Had they undertaken the job, we feel assured In stating that they would have mot with a warm reception. Letter from Vallandigham on tlie Chi cago Convention. THE "MARTYR” NOT IN A MISERABLE MINORITY THERE—THE MATERIAL RESOLUTION WRITTEN BY HIM—RICH DEVELOPMENTS OF PARTY PO LITIC 6. .■ - Sherman House, Chicago, Oct. 22,1804. To the Editor of the N. Y. News: -Sir :In the World. of the 20ti:, I observe an ar ticle copied from tho Albany Aryns, relating to Judge Advocate Holt’s “ Groat Copperhead Conspiracy,” and which contains the following: • . “ Mr. Vallandigham was in a miserable minority in the Chicago Convention. He sought to be chair man of the Committee on Resolutions, and was beaten two to one. He led the opposition to Mc- Clellan, and after his letter of acceptance threw up his engagements to speak.” Now. Ihave refrained in every speech, except the first—and I have made many in support of the Democratic candidates for President and Vico Pre sident—from any allusion to the private history of the Chicago Convention, and did not propose to refer to it lnrther till after the election. But Ido not choose to suffer the foregoing to pass unnoticed even.now.. It would be difficult to compress more m in a small way, within the same compass. 1. Mr. Vallandigham was not “in a miserable minority at tbe Chicago Convention,” and no one knows it better than the man Cassidy, who wrote, and Marble, who endorses the statement, ■ The lat ter Ihand over to ex-Mayor Opdyke for judgment. 2 Mr. V. was not “beaten two to one” for the chairmanship of the Committee-on Resolutions. Through the artifices of Cassidy, Tilden, and other New York politicians, Mr. Guthrie, of Kentucky, received twelve votes to his eight for that post: but Mr. G-was himself afterward emphatically repu diated by the Convention when presented by “ the ring ” as their candidate for the Yice"Presidenoy. Mr. v. wrote the second, the material resolution of the Chicago platform, and carried it through the E uk-coißimttee,'aiia the general committee, in spite of the most desperate and persistent opposition on P ar t of Cassidy and his friends,; Mr. G. himself, in an adjoining loom, laboring to defeat it. But the various, substitutes never at any time received more than three votes. . 3 -Mr- V. did not “lead the opposition to McClel lan,” but confined his efforts almost exclusively to the question of platform. He did, indeed, vote against General McClellan on the first, but for him on the revised ballot,,and moved that the nomina tion be made unanimous; whereupon Cassidy tmewup his hat and shouted, and he and all his iellows'proclaimed Yallandigham a very proper man.: ... 4. As to engagements to speak in support of the Democratic oandidates, Mr. V. has fulfilled as many as any Democratic speaker in any State, and Is now here in Illinois on the same errand, and, without immodesty, he may say he has accomplish ed quite as much of good for the cause as Cassidy and his Argus. The people lack “confidence” in .Cassidy. . - 5. The secret or this and similar assaults en the part of a certain class of New York politicians is, that they cannot “ use’’ Mr. Yallandigham. Of on e thing further let them be assured— neither can thty kilt him, 6. As to the charge of “ conspiracy” set forth in Judge Advocate Holt’s pamphlet, and the eleven specifications summed up by Mr. Horacei Gre.elev, I have only to say that, so far* as I am concerned, they are absolute falsehoods and fabrications from beginning to end. They are false In the aggregate ana false in-detail. More than that, they are as preposterous and ridiculous as they are without foundation j and all this Mr. Judge Advocate Holt, -Mary Ann Pitman, and Mr. Horace Greeley very well knows O. L.

THE PRESIDENCY. Grand Union Meeting at Union League Hal SPEECHES BY KEV. J. WAIKEB JACXSOJT, A. W. BEHEDICT, AHD OTHEES. The Democracy at the Continental Theatre ADDRESb BY HON. REVERDY JOHNSON lISIOS LEMPE HAM. Last evening the hall of the Union League was densely crowded at ap early hour by an audience of ladles and gentlemen, assembled to listen to the speakers announced loathe evening. Mr. Edwin G-reble occupied the chair, and In a few brief remarks introduced the first speaker, Bov. X Walker Jackson. His speech was a patriotic pro duction, and elicited the heart-felt applause of the audience. We are able to give but a portion of it. He said: ,' Tlie difference of expression between the Declaration, of Indepen.deiiceand.the Chicago platform is easily dis* cemablo. Thoir cry a year ago was the Umoaa&it was, and the Constitution as it is. Thoir, platform calls ror a convention of States, for tlio purpose of making a new Constitution. : Before ike work of reconstruction comißfiices, there must be a destruction of the former structure, and only by a revolution coaid the proposed btsis.of peace be laid. The leaders of the party Interpret their platform by their declarations; acknowledge that oppotition to the Constitution actuated their motives . {in . framing that plat form. The thirteen Colonies had always one na tionality, and when they declared war against Eng land it was not separate from each other that they did so, but as one people. The first sentiment of the Colo nies is that Union is at the basis of the confederation of thete separate States. Their first Government was con sidered insufficient for this purpose, and then they met together in order to form a more perfect Union, and they declared that the Conttiiution is the basis of the Union. The Chicago platform speaks of peace on the basis of the Federal Union of the States. They mean that the united States is only a link of separate nationalities. The National Government has ever rejected this idea, and the finest state paper that ever emanated from Wash ington is the nullification paper of And»ew Jackson — that seals the matter, [Great applause.] The Demo cratic party now propose to revolutionize the Govern ment, and for this purpose tkfe phrase * ‘ Federal Union' 1 is used; and they prop so to leave separate States sepa ra e nationalities, if on remember they talked about leayingNew England oat in tho cold. She was out one day in the cold on Plymouth Bock, and. she in . vented freedom to worship God. [Great applause.] And as lone as-there is a particle of patriotism/ in the land, she shall not be left out in the .cold.-.[Tremendous cheering.] \on remembsr that the New.; York Herald had a long editorial m favor of sdoptingthe Montgomery Constitution You remem ber that Kentucky once wanted to go out. It’s a won der to me that that sublime patriot, who sleeps under the sod of Kentucky, Henry Clay [great applause], didn’t rise from the dust and deuounce, in his elo quent tongue, the traitors. The Northern Democracy, inimitationof an old story, say to the South, “Am I not thine ass that has served the these many years?” [Daughter and applause. ] I want the old Union—what' with slavery ? tney will say. Noi at all. Has slavery anything to do with ihc old Union? Nothing more than a man’s old ha t has 10 do with his beauty. We uphold and maintain the acts by which the Government has main tained itself and. aimed the death-blow at the rebellion i have never been in favor of those speeches which i have heard on Republican platforms. “God forbid that we *hcrald have the old Union!” I don’t believe In ihfct kind of, talk, If a man has a disease that threatens mb life, and the doctor, to care him, removes ■with his instruments the cause of the disease, and the .man refutes to allow the operation, and says, Oh i but then 1 won't have the oldman thatlhad before!” Ifhe says that he eayßjustihe same thing that the Democra tic party says when they say that the Onion as it was reauircs that slavery should he perpetuated. Suppose ' McClellan should be elected, he must propose the esssa tion of hostilities to that usurper, Jeifersou Davis, who Will -Rmhmond. He must ent.r into negotiation with him. -They, must go through the ceremonies of diplomaticintercour.se. This-is recognition, Nothing mt-re nor nothing less. It is the status of nationality 1 rom tbe moment it does that it gives them the charac ter of a separate Government. They-have been knock ing at the door , of every Power in Europo for admis sion, and they have been refused at them all S our nation considers you as rebels and refuses to ac knowledge aUdiplomatierelationswitnyou.,The minute they ate so recognised, then commissioners will be ad mitted into every Court of Europe. All action by . the atmy and navy must cease. The armr, Jeff Davis will demand, shall be withdrawn. Suppose he don’t re unire that. There must bs a Convention of States. It wiil take.some months_to sifect this. There are thirty five States!-Western Virginia is a State defwdo. The onlypower which could say stay out, has-taid: come ™ I I’d you suppose: the South would allow. this f While they were fining these matters the army would become depleted by expiration of time, furloughs, and so on. .Then, the question arises, upon what basis shall -the brutes be represented? Suppose Delaware and Rhode island have the same number of delegates as Ne w York and Pennsylvania. They will say that the North has a greater number of States, and will require that each Mate shall have the seme representation. We won d want a guarantee that hereafter there , should he no Se cession. ; But the Chicago platform acknowledges Se cession as a j lght under the Constitution. Here would be another dead-lock. I say to you that the Chicago b?!p tile Worth at all. It in tended to help Jeff Davis, and put down free institu tions. It Will bring: the.peace that gives them every thing .and gives us nothing. It will give the peace that changes, .our - Government from a great nation to a number of dismembered communities. They declare the war a, failure, as tliesensa of the Ame ■■ncsut.people. By what authority did’they slander the American people in the eyes of ail the nationalities of the world? [Great applause 3 They talk a great deal ahout the united South and the disunited 1 North. I knowisomething about the South; In 18601 was at New Orleans, and at the St.: Charles Hotel the question of dismemberment came up. We argued four hours about the matter, I gave tlie reasons familiar to you,: geo graphical, historical, iintual —that God had given ns -'one speech. - At the close there was an old gentleman who sat there and looked me in the eyes, fie said, 1 am an old man, and may not live to see it, but you.are a young man, and you will.. -Besaid, .-We of _ the boxitli have determined - upon it; and: I said we of the North have determined that it shaLi not ,b«., i ..He then spoke of the cowardice of the North.;l stud it there evei was an attempt to dismember the United Stales, you .wide 'for. you* purpose through rivers of blood- ,I said in my pulpit, on the 16th of April, IS6I, when President Lincoln's proclamation calling <B,OOO men for three months was issued, that it flight to have been for -760,000 men for seven years. -I ’ despise men who say how the war ought to have been conducted, whether they are on my side or on .the other side, in the words of Mr. Lincoln, it is a ’big job," and when I think of what we have done, 1 am. proud of my nation. Grant has his iron grasp on Eichmond, aud as sure as the heavens are above us, will take Eichmond, and maintain the union of these Mates now and forever, one and indivisible. LG rent cheering. ] On .this platform they place a Presi dent, and ask'the American people to vote for him Place a soldier on the platform and ask soldiers to vote for him. Admit everything that his admirers say of ; him. and would you vote for him on such a platform ? would you vote for. him? - [Cries of “Never, never.”] ■ There is - but a . slight -- plank be tween McClellan and Pendleton, and if McClellan were to.die then George H. Pendleton becomes Presi dent, who never voted a man fffr the army. John Van Suren says he wants a gentleman i n the White House, and for that reason McClellan ought to have your votes. I’m amudsili, and-I’m proud of it. The rebels cheer for McClellan, andT donltvote. for any man that the rebelß cheer. I’m like the woman who kept boarders. When sbe'was .asked how.'she afforded to ikeep boarders in the hard times, she said she found out what it'was her boarders didn’t like, and she gave: them more of it. That’s what I believe in. We know what the rebels don’t like, . and we’ll give them more of it. [Laughter and applause. ] There has b sen no such persistent enemy of this country as the London Times. The .other, day. L bought a copy of The Age; [laughter;] the age of reason—treason.. [Laughter.] It bad an article—McClellan portrayed by the London Times. [The speaker here read the article referred t 0.3 Do you vote for the candidate of the London. Times? [Cries of “No! no! I don’t”!] I say to you if to-nisht I were arrested, imprisoned, denied the right of habeas corpus, and kept in . prison till the morning of election, in view of the Chicago platform, I’d vote for Abraham Lincoln, I love my country-home of my fathers—land of the free— home of the brave. .[Great cheering.] Three hearty cheers were then given for the speaker. Mr. Jackson then proposed three cheers , for the soldiers and their wives, which were given with a will. Mr. A. W. Benedict was then introduced. He de livered a patriotic and spirited address, which was well received. ... DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT CONTI- ■ NENTAL THEATRE. SPEECH OP REVBBDY, JOHNSON. Last evening at the Continental Theatre there ■was a large audience, attracted by the announce ment ; of an address by Hon. Reverdy Johnson. Mr. J., on being introduced by Mr. C. L. Ward, Chairman of the ; Democratic State Central Com mittee,was enthusiastically received, He said: , Fellow-Citizens : I thank you for this cordial greet ing, which I value the more because it assures me that yon believe that I am, with yon, determined to do all that I can to terminate this war by the restoration, of the Union, and the reinstatement in the country of ail the happiness: of which for so many years that Union was the sole and the fruitful source. We live m eventful times—times which- render it necessa ry to consider somewhat political. principles and political doctrines that /were until lately so well settled- as, not to be the subject of any reasona ble doubt. The war of the Revolution over, suc cessful i y conducted under a Union caused by com mon danger, and a common determination to achieve our independence, it was soon discovered by the wise and patriotic men of that day that the form of govern ment (if government it could be called) under which we bad previously lived would not suffice to give us the benefits of that freedom for which during seven long Ytarswehad so gallantly fought. They saw, in the ..antagbsiaiie legislation-'of .'the States, in the sectional, feeling sure to exist where States are not united under one form of government, dangers that would inevitably result in the destruction of the very freedom for Which they had fought aiid bled. They met in convention to adopt a Constitution. .They deliberated for weeks and weeks, and finally recommended to the approval of the American people that Constitution under which we so long happily lived until the inauguration of this 'rebel-' lion. But the men of that day, well versed in political history, well acquainted with the feelings of their own people, were satisfied that whilst it was all-important to give to the Government of the United i-tates, upon all general subjects, powers which could not be exerted by the , State Governments, - it -was equally, important to leave in tbe possession of ihe State Governments all the powers vi hich they originally had. witli that excep tion. There, was not a man in that Convention, from . the, beginning of’its deliberations to their close who thought of interfering with any of the powers originally, before the Convention assembled, vested indisputably in. the. Wot satisfied With the doctrine held throughout the deliberations of that body, that no pow ers would exist in the General Government except such as should be specially delegated, or such as were inci dental to those specially delegated when tho Constitution was adopted,' at the very earnes . moment when it could be done, the wise and patriotic men of that day, knowing from : the history of the past that power ever accumu lates in the hands of those who have not the Hohesty to administer It as it was intended to be given, adopted a series of amendments to that' Consutntion, which,' amongst other things, expressly provided that ail the powers not delegated to the Government of the United States were to he considered as jetained by the States and the people. Wot satisfied with that, although there Was no .power to be found in the Constitution of the United States which authorized any department of that Government to interfere with the personal rights of the Cl izen, the right to the free enjoyment of religion, the right of petitioning for a rediess of grievances, the light to freedom of speech, the right to freedom of the press, they.iusertedinoneof the amendments an ex press inhibition upon the Government of the United btates interfering with any one. of those rights.

What is it to day ?. What is it to- morrow ? Where will it be, if it shall please Almighty God to.visit ns with four years more of such Administration as we have had ? It will have no existence. Gentlemen, I speak this in no cap-. nous spirit. In my humble vr ay, and in the official po sition which it is my houor to hold at the gift of my own State,.

Four thousand. millions' expended 4nricg a period of not quite four years, and nothing dtfne except the shedding of hlood in a quantity that, i: collected In a reservoir, would almost float a navy! [Applause. 1 At the beginning of this war, Mr. Lincoln, an ho himself declared, found in every oas of the.sa ceded States—save, perhaps, the State of South Caro lina—a Union feeling predominant; not only extensive, hut, as he thought, predominant; and *,l believe that he was right. He announced that belief in his inaugural address. Where is that Union feeling now? If it fee found at all, It is to-be found in the breast of bo roe poor and honest Southern maiuwho, although stripped of all earthly possessors, still retains an at *" tachment which will linger with him until life shall be no more, for the Constitution that his fathers gave, and the flagunder which they so longgloriously foagbit. [Applause. ] Now, look at the amount of that debt. The appropriations made by Congress at the last session were ninehnndred millions. The entire appropriations made since Mr. Lincoln’s accession to the are four thousand millions Our moneye chat we . have received from every source of taxation ara all expended;- and in addition to the actual expenditure of money we are now paying an interest upon a 1 debt that nearly roaches at this moment four thousand millions of dollars—more than the entire amount of the debt of Ed gland in 1E63. How is this debt to be paid'? Our resources areapparently inexhaustible, and if the Union were restored to-morrow, would be found amply suffi cient to pay every dollar of that debtat a comparatively early period. But ififcgoes on for another four years.and that four thousand millions swells to eiaht thousaud millions, as it certainly will, and the Union- is still broken, the South subjugated, devastated, made a de sert, every individual citizen of the loyal States'who msy then be living will b« oppressed with a taxa tion which-he will be unable to bear. What must follow? National bankruptcy, the greatest misfor tune that can overtake an honest people. How are we to rid ourselves of the man and the policy that have brought us into this condition? As we^are now situated, there is but one means of ac complnhiDg tbat end. It is by changing the policy with which the war has been conducted; and therein no means by which we can effect a change of policy bat one, and that is by the election of George B. McClellan to the Presidency. We know his record It has been uniform; from tbo outset of.the war to the present honr he has exhibited an enlarged and elevated patriotism. His career manifests extraordinary sagacity, while it scows that, as a military leader, he possesses extraor dinary ability and consummate skill. If he had been supported, as it was oyer and over again promised that he should if the troops had been sent to him that it was promised would he placed under his command for the purpose of making his campaign in Eastern. Yir gjnia a fuccess ; if his plan had been followed; if he had been supported by Mr. Lincoln, carrying out the terms of his promise to-the letter, we could not have lost more than the 100,CSX) men that General Grant’ baa lost since he crossed the Bapidan on the Bth of May last -Nothing is more certain than that if that had oc curred, Bichmond would have been ours, the army of Lee would have been destroyed, and the power of the rebels extinguished. With the humane and enlightened policy that General George B. Mc- Clellan supported, the union feeling of the S&utli would have sprung upon its feet at once, and the Union, the blessed Union, would now be onrs. Bat “he is not loyal!” Who s&yslxe is not loyal? Not loyal I God forbid that the majority of the people of the United . States shoulc entertain that notion. He not loyal, that electrified the whole country by a succession or brilliant vie.tries in Western Virginia! He who organized a disorganized army and brought them to ,a state of per fection rarely if ever equalled l Not loyal ? He who after the battle at Antietam received from the Presi* dent and Congress thanks for his gteat skill and daring! He not loyal'?: Bat his army was takenfrom him, and he was deprived of command. He retired to bis home, crushed down by an apprehension of what might be the fate oi his country and the fate of the army that he loved so much and that loved him so much. He then begged and implored, as they were uur der the command of Po2>e if he was hot to be permitted to command them, he might at least be permitted to go upon the field and share their fate. [Cheers. 1 He not loyal, who was invoked to come with all the speed pos sible, by the then commander-in-chief, Halleck, and to give him all the aid that Halleck knew it was in the power of McClellan to give? for Hal leck was, as his letter said, worn out, and I have no doubt that he was. [Laught-r,McClellan came, and was placed in command of fcbe defences of the city of Washington. The President did not stand half as tall during that period as nature has made him. [Laugh ter . 3 He evidently bended before the fctorm. The sound of the enemy’sjguns was startling. He sought out this now supposed disloyal man McClellan, and said, “For God’s Bake, come to the rescue! Take yoar army We sc e the plight in which it is; we see the plight in which it has been brought by our unfortunate selection of Pope.: We know the capital is in peril. Save us if you can.” At once, without a moment’s hesitation, he placed himselfjLt the head of his brave soldiers, and marched at earliest moment. He inspired bis men with invincible courage, and soon cazhe the victories of South Mountain and Antietam. Washington was saved, and after having provided for his men, to enable them to bear another conflict, and fit them to win another victory, when he was about to strike the foe, he was, without any previous warning, in spite of Mr.. Lincoln’B thanks to him for the battle of Antietam and houth Mountain, and the thanks of the Commander- in- chief, relieved from the command of the Potomac altogether. , He hss been and is now quietly and unobtrusively living with his family at the town of Orange, in the neighboring State of New Jersey. Whether it is owing to his presence or not, so pure has been his demea nor, so nnobtrusive and so uncomplain ing, that the State of New Jersey, it is now well under stood, will give him a larger majority, in propor tion to population, than even this State. [Ap plause.] who is it that charges him with dis loyalty,/with wishing to separate the Union? I do not know that Mr. Lincoln has made the charge himself personally j but he adopts it.: It is one of the modes in which he has managed his side of this campaign. What did Mr. Lincoln say in 1543, when-he was a member of Congress.. I suppose that most, if not all of you, have read with some surprise the extract from the speech* which he made at that time,asserting the rieht ofseses sion. That I may no injustice, I will read his language: “Any people, anywhere, being Inclined and having the power, have the,righi to rise up and shake off the exibtiiu; Government, and form a new: one that suits . them better. Hot is this right confined tocasss where the people cf an existing Government may choose to . exercise It. Any pertton of such people that can, may revolutionize, and put down a minority intermingled with or near about them, who mav oppose them. ” Jefferson Davis never proclaimed the doctrine of seces sion in stronger terms—never! [Applause.] But who . are the others that charge Mm with disloyalty? The Wendell Phillipses of.the day, the Horace Greeleys of the day, the : Garrisons of the day. the Beechers of the:day. -I have here the extracts from what they l ave said upen- different occasions. Don’t yon know that long before tbe rebellionbroheouteaclioneof them prayed to God for the early coming of the day when the Onion would be dissolved? Each one them, in sub stance, pronounced the Constitution to-be a “ covenant with hell. ” Each one of them said over and over again that it was impossible that the free States couldcontume " to live with the Southern States, and that, happen what might, whether, the separation was effected peaceably or not, they were resolved to have a separation at what ever cost of blood or of treasure. These are the men who charge,“ disloyalty” upon George B. McClellan, a man whose life since the commencement of this re bellion has been devoted to the preservation of the Union- “0, shame! where is thy blush?” [Applause.] Now, irv friends, everybody mast see that the country*, is standing upon the very brink of an abyss,into which;' ifitfalls, the United States fall.never to The brightest star that ever shone in the political Arma ment will he extinguished forever. The, aoMavement of our ancestors, won through seven years of fearful war, will he lost to the world - Constitutional Govern : ment will be at an end. - 'Political chaos will have come again. In.the name pf God, does not the peril of your country invoke”} on’in terms'to whieh yon must listen, ; with which- yon must comply, to rally now, ■ to rally here, to rally on the Sth of November, aud do ’ the only thing that can be done to save the country from falling into that fathomless abyss ?, [Applause. ] Who are now, in the Southern States, the most active and earnest opponents of McClellan's election? Every one of the leaders of the conspiracy—those who brought about secession—those who were planning and medi tating upon it for years.and years before" it culmi nated into overt treason. They, so far as we can judge from their public press, are - anxionsly pray ing for the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. [ Applause.] Why?- Because {I use nearly their own language),Mc- Clellan, aided by the Democratic conservative men of the country; will .whilst carrying on the war to every extent that may he necessary to put down the rebellion, change the' policy whicli has made the South a unit,and revivethat Union feeling which predominatedso strong ly in the earlier days of this struggle. [Applause.-] Mc- Clellan, whilst he is a soldier, is a statesman. Whilst he knows how to use the sword, he knows that.itjis the duty of a Christian warrior to use it hu-' inanely. Whilst he is resolved, as he telis yon: to preserve the Union at all hazards, he is . determined to carry in one hand the olive branch of peace, and to win hack our erring brethren to the family fold in which’ they so long lived, and prospered, and were happy. They know that he will appeal to that feelingwhich has animated the American heart from the beginning of our existence as auction to the present hour: thatfeel ing that glories in the name of America; that feeling of pride in the psbs glories of our ancestors; that feeling which has followed evety American in every part of the globe andinspired him with a proud reliance upon the power of the Government and an ahidingconfldence that, wherever he may he, he is safe - against all harm from external orinternal foes. “But, ” say Mr. Mr coin and his followers, “we cannot nego , tiate wiih rebels in arms. 1 ' Well, why not ? i There are two ways of terminating a war of this description,, one of them by negotiation, theother by extermination. Which does Mr. Lincoln prefer? Is lie so inhuman, so savage, so lost to every humane instinct, as to wish to exterminate the white race of the South? why, thevery thought is horrible. Who are.they ? Our brothers and our sisters, hound to us by almost every domestic tie; bound to ns by. .a common ancestry, a common fame; by the tie of marriage; all the ties of association. They arc willing to comeback, anxious to comeback, if their rights are preserved; they are unwilling to come back as slaves. :Is it possible that upon snch a peopleawarM extermination is to be made? Gentle men, have you seen the letter (whether authentic or not, Ido not know, but it looks as if it were authentic, and tallies very much with what I have heard in and out of Congress) as to what will he the eventual policy of the Administration? Let me read you. a sentence or two, and see whether it does not make your blood boll with indignation and horror. This letter,it is said, is cir culated in the capital, and it Is understod to have been . written by a distinguished citizen of Massachusetts, or of the North.-: It discloses the programme of the policy to he adopted on the contingency of Mr. Lincoln’s re elf ction It is dated October 3: “At the beginning of the conflict the Administration was obviously restricted to the choice between two dif ferent policies, namely: First, conciliation, and second, absolute subjugation and extermination. Any half way policy was sure to result unhappily. * * Had the war been prosecuted as they (the Democrats) urged,: simply to restore the Union and save slavery with tit, there-ri» no doubt that we would now be at peace ” (I do not think there is the slightest ’doubt)," “and the South would be reinstated in its old place of power in the. Federal Unidn. But . this yon know would not snit the members of our party. We could have had all that before the war began, if we had chosen to assent to the proposition adopted.by the Peace Convention. . I do not know that history will justify our course; but it is clear that, had we assented to the compromise-proposed by that Convention,- we would have had no political future. ” . That is to say, there would have been no - Bepuhlican party; The Union would have been restored; the Constitu tion would have been enforced in every part of the countty ; bnt there would have been “no" political Intnre” for Mr. Lincoln and. his present political supporters. : [Applause. ]. After stating (and I have: no doubt stating accurately; for he h> s reduced it to figures), what was the percentage of Union feeling in the seceded States, and how that per centage has diminished to; almost nothing, this writer continues: “ This tells a strange story. ; It shows that the war, so -far as relates to restoring the old Onion, Is a complete failure, and has managed to convert the old unionists into armed rebels. ” [True.l “Hence it-is that, Wherever onr armies have marched, they have made enemies of these whom they found to he friends. * * * * How, my friends, what is thereßHlt of all this? Shall we give up the war? By no means Shall we change onr policy? That is no longer possible. Shall we surrender the Government to the pro-slavery Demo crats? Forbid it heaven! We have had enough of .slavery and slave-hunters. What, then, is the conr,e we must adopt? I answer deliberately, and in fnll view of all the facts before me, that we must adopt the policy that Cromwell proposed for freland, and which would have saved that unhappy country from years of misery and horror. We must exterminate the adult population of the South.!’; The same Ideals repeated In one or two other passages of the letter. Ext erminate the whites of the Sonth and leave the population exclusively composed of the negroes who may be there at the time, and each patriotic men among ' the Republicans as may want to get a little land ana make a little cotton.
