Upon the disturbances which took place along the route of the Democratic proces sion, on Saturday night, we have not, of course, any partisan judgment to deliver. In common with all good citizens, we feel that these exhibitions were a public, dis grace, : to be frowned upon, denounced, and repudiated. Upon affairs of this cha racter there is but one side which respect able and order-loving men can take—that of the police. We might affirm, in' an impartial belief, which party was most likely to have provoked or created a scene of violence; but wo would not ignore the counter-fact that the challenges of one side were sometimes too readily accepted ■by', the other, till the petty war of lanterns and clubs became so involved that it was difficult to tell what band or party was directly the greater aggressor. We have no business now to attempt the vain task of adequately distributing the blame, for we do not know, and it seems impossible to learn, sufficient to discriminate. We blame the whole vio lence of Saturday night, and all who • as sisted in it; and we hope a common sense of public justice will view it as it really was, an unpardonable offence against the com muhity, and a disgrace to the city. No party to the row or riot of Saturday night suffered half as much as the outraged public that witnessed it. No rioter was killed, though many were hurt, for whom there can be no public sympathy whatever. As usual, the worst blow, reached the life of an innocent spectator, an old man, in whose undeserved death every citizen who possesses his self respect indignantly and sorrowfully feels that he has been injured. It is sure to happen that when public order is assailed the innocent are the greatest sufferers. Ladies who stood watch ing the procession were cut in the cheek by lanterns aimed recklessly m the whirl of grog-shop fury which distinguished the . fracas near the hall and house of the Union League. Heads were bruised, transparen cies were tom, and the general political wreck along Chestnut street wears an ap. pearance of impartiality.' But besides this, stores wer« robbed, and, as we have said, one unoffending citizen was killed. These facts determine the real character and ag gression of the riot. In the procession and out of it the manlier class of citizens endea vored to preserve order and to aid the po lice. But every well-grown man at all concerned in the proceedings of Saturday night will blush to hear that this contemp tible though fatal disturbance arose out of the quarrels of boys, the vagrants of the ■streets! v But for the deatli of one respectable citi zen we should probably have had less to say of the recent disorders. Is it not time, though, to point the moral* as gravely as we can ? We have heard men in public quarters (and we present evidence of the fact), urging their fdlovy-citizens to such scenes as these. Sometimes the worst class of men have been invited into processions, and the brandy bottle has been an accompaniment of the march. Politi cal parades must take place, we suppose. The sight of a regular and orderly line of thousands of moving torches is an enter tainment which all classes of the people may enjoy. But we must try and believe that men on both sidesof the line of politics are, if in certain cases worse, in most cases better than their opinions. Partisans must keep their tempers, or we must abandon political processions in obedience to a sen timent of common comfort; for we cannot regard riots of this kind as'anything more than coalitions of angry men assailing the public welfare. The Funeral of Slavery in Maryland. This interesting ceremony will take place on Tuesday, November Ist—to-morrow. The new Constitution, which uncondition ally and immediately emancipates over 100,000 men, women, and children, goes into effect on that day. This most signifi eent event ought to be welcomed and cele brated as one of Ereedotn’s brightest days. We took occasion a few days since to urge the clergymen of all denominations -to open their churches on Tuesday in order that the religious sentiment of our peo ple might have the opportunity of ex pression. The day will be ushered in by chimes, and salutes will be fired at in tervals by a detachment of colored troops from Camp William Penh, under Colonel Lours Wagner. At dusk the .headquar ters of the Supervisory Committee for Re cruiting Colored Troops will be magnifi cently illuminated.' The transparencies which will adorn the building on this oc casion arc emblematic of liberty and'pro gress. They are executed by the artists of the Sketch Club in their very best styie. Wc hope every citizen favorable to the holy cause of emancipation will conform to the recommendation of the committee, and. show their sympathy by hanging out flags on Tuesday and illumination at night. Too much display cannot be made over the grand victory *of the-Union and liberty loving men of our sister State. Any candid man wlio reads the ex tracts from Copperhead papers and the speeches of Copperhead orators, printed in another column, and hastily gathered at random, must admit that many of the leaders of the Opposition have done all in their power to excite riots, and cause bloodshed in the North. The spirit of violence which resulted in the disturb* ance on Saturday evening has been en couraged by thousands of such, articles as we quote. : General Banks, in his speech at Wal tham Friday evening, in referring to the Red River expedition, said that when the his tory of that expedition came to be written, whether by friend or foe, it will be found to be very different from what people now believe. We have already alluded to the reticence of General Banks in everything relating to his military acts. He has done his whole duty, and has not turned aside to utter complaints or to defend himself. He has left his defence to the official records, Which will be accessible in due time, and which will fully vindicate his military, career. Will there be any forged votes of sol diers east for McClellan in Pennsylvania ? Though we know of no conspiracy, the exposure of: the great crime committed by Donohue, Ebert, and their colleagues, should teach us that one may exist. Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot was nearly suc cessful ; the New York forgery was dis covered partly through an accident. Our authorities should see that the soldiers of .Pennsylvania are not swindled of their civil rights. Every county must look after this matter. :Mk, John "Van Btjrbn has been giving' an opinion of McCleuras’s character. He defines him as the uncontrollable. “Who. controls him? Lincoln could not, at the head of the armies and navies of the United‘;States.’’ It is true. lid would not obey, and because of his insubordination, as Well, as his incapacity, he was removed. Yet;this General, who never learned to re spect authority, Mr. Yan Buren thinks fit 4o he Comm&nder-in-Chief of the-Rcpuhlic. The most natural thing in the world, after the detection of the election forgeries in Baltimore, was that the perpetrators of the foul deed should telegraph for Governor; Seymour. ■. v ' ■ .! • L’Eseeit de Corps.—lt is affirmed by i Copperhead papers that the entire crew of; the gunboat “ Galena” voted for General . McGlkt.lan. . j The death of the Duke of Newcastle, announced in our foreign news to-day, is not unexpected. For nearly a year his health had failed, and he was compelled, some months ago, to retire from public life. His Dukedom was created in 1756, but Ms Earldom was granted by Queen Eliza beth in 1572, and his barony of Clinton dated as far back as 1299, and was granted' by Edwakd I. Born in 1811, he married the only daughter of the 10th Duke of Hamilton and; Brandon, in 1832, but had to obtain a divorce from her in 1850. En tering Parliament soon after he had reached his majority, he sat in the House of Com mons until 1851, until his father’s death called Mm to the Upper House. During Peel’s :short ministry, in 1834-35, the Earl of Lincoln (as he was then called by courtesy) was one of the Lords of the Treasury. During the whole of Peel’3 second administration,lB4l-’46, he was First Commissioner of Woods and Forests. Sub sequently, he was Colonial Secretary from 1852 to 1854, and War Secretary from June, . 1854, when the office was created, to Febru ary, 1855.' When Palmerston became Pre mier, in "June, 1559, he reappointed the Duke of Newcastle as Colonial Secretary, which, he held until last spring. It was : thought, had he lived, that the Duke would have had as fair a chance as any to become ! Palmerston’s successor. « 31, 1864. . ien used, it will The Duke of Newcastle was a highly educated, amiable, and popular gentleman. Never much of a partisan, nor, indeed, of a politician, he was an excellent official— hard-working, honest, ' appreciative of merit, opposed to jobbery. His adminis trative faculties were great. Without being an orator, he spoke better than most Eng lish publicists of higher repute—-not caring to say anything in Parliament for the mere sake of airing Ms vocabulary. In October, 1860, being then in charge of the Prince of Wales (then travelling as Baron Renfrew), the Duke Of Newcastle visited Philadel phia, where his easy, unaffected manners gave satisfaction to all who met him. The Duke is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, the Earl of Lincoln, now in his thirty-first year. Lord Palmerston, it must be cenfessed, keeps his Cabinet well in Hand. Not long ago little Lord Russell declared that the North was “ fighting for conquest and the South for independence,” and straightway Lord Palmerston gave him a rap on the knuckles, with a hint that if he did not control that unruly member, Ms tongue, he would receive unlimited leave of ab sence from the Foreign Office. The small Earl took the ' hint thus given to him by the octogenarian Viscount, and has not committed himself since on. the American question. So, too, Mr. Gladstone an nounced {after dinner) at Newcastle that Jefferson Davis had made “ the South a great nation.” Palmerston, aware of the impolicy and untruth of this statement, evidently put the gag upon Gladstone, as he had previously done upon Russell. Ever since, the great financier has given America a very wide berth. The other day, at a public dinner in Liverpool, his native town, he had to say something, which he did in a very light and general way—-merely expressing his sympathy with this country, and declaring that Americans should be left to settle their own affairs in their own way. Whence is it he deduced the circumstance that non-intervention is the firm policy of England ? Wc learn that the Hon. James H, Camp bell, ; Minister Resident in Sweden and Norway, arrived in Stockholm on the 17tli of September. He was most cordially re ceived by the King, and invited to parti cipate in the festivities consequent upon the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, among the' most interesting of which was the excursion to and 'banquet at the ancient palace of Gupsholm. The royal party left Stockholm at noon, and returned by steamer through the - Malar lake at midnight. In this connection we . observe that Count Piper, Minister Resi ' dent of Sweden and Norway, has been re called, and Baron Wbtterstebt, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary, sent to testify the esteem of these Scandinavian nations, and their confidence in the .perpetuity of our institutions. Swe den and Norway were the first to recog nize the establishment of our Republic, and again these ancient friends graceful ly avail themselves of our period of na tional adversity to extend to us a distin guished mark of amity. This .complimen tary action, contrasting as it does with the course of other European Powers, will be appreciated by the American people. Con gress will doubtless, at an early day, express its recognition of the courtesy and friend ship of the Scandinavian people, by ele-. vating the rank of the United States Minis ter at Stockholm to that of Envoy Extraor dinary. This is due to ourselves, as well as to Sweden and Norway; ministers of that grade being established at their court not only from Russia, Prussia, Austria, France, and England, but from Denmark, Bavaria, and Nassau. The-representative of a country, (we had almost said a con tinent,) like ours should not be inferior in rank to the ministers of these petty Powers. . But one week remains for the thorough organization of Pennsylvania. It must be a week of haTd work. Every county must’ look to its own canvass, and call out every man who will give a.Union vote. The names of soldiers should be registered; ab sent citizens should be urged to be at home on the Bth of November. Imposition must be guarded against, and nothing left un done that will help to swell the Union ma jority for Lincoln and Johnson. The World charges, and says it can be proved (if it can, why isn’t it ?), that sol diers’ votes for McClellan are secretly changed to Lincoln tickets, after they have been sent from the army in envelopes. But how about those seven dry-goods boxes, filled with-forged votes, signed with the names of dead men, and men who never lived at all ?

M.—Yesterday tbe pre parations for a grand reconnolgsance lp. force wore completed by the withdrawal of the greater part of the Army of tho Potomac from the trenches and massing It, in the rear, ready for tho'niove. Tlie Ist division of the 2d Corps, with a part of the 6th and 9th Corps, held the entire line, from the Ap- ' pomattox on the right to some three miles west of the Weldon road on the left. All wagons, baggage, ■Ac, were sent to tho rear, at City Point. ■? At two o’clock this morning, General Hancock, with the 2d and 3d divisions of his corps, moved along the Vaughan road, running, southwest, and after crossing Hatcher’s Run, found tho rebels en trenched in newly-made works. He at once charged them on the flank and drove the enemy out, and took some twenty prisoners, mostly cavalry, among whom was Major Vonable, an acting adjutant gene ral, but on what general’s sta ff he would not toll. The sth Corps took the Squirrel Level road, and found the enemy posted at Its junction with the Dun can road, which runs north from the Vaughan road to the Boynton road. From this they wero driven by our skirmishers, with some loss, the Ist Division having about forty wounded In tbe affair. The 3<l Division of the corps took the advance, and, crossing Hatcher’s Run, connected with the 2d Corps, ■ ■ In the mean time Gen. Hancock advanced along a by-road, driving the enemy before him till he reached the Boynton plank road, where the column halted and formed in line of battle on the farm of Mrs. Butler, the left reaching some distance west of the road, and the right extending to a thick wood on the right. The; Sth Corps had also formed ana advanced through'the woods two miles, butthe left of the line failed to connect with the right of the 2d Corps. The enemy .fell back as we advanced, until thejine reached Hatchet’s Run again, when the rebels were found behind strong entrenchments, and brisk firing ensued, but without much loss to either side. At about 4 o’clock in the afternoon the enemy, taking advantage of the break is the jine between the 2d and 6th Corps, massed Anderson’s division of Hill’s corps and charged the right wing of the 2d, which gave way and fell back a short distance j but being reinforced, the latter charged and captured a number of prisoners. Our loss In the affair is not known, but Is not be lieved to be heavy. g[A few minutes after the enemy’s cavalry, which had been cut off on the Boynton road, made an at tack oh Gregg’s Division, directly in the rear of the Second Corps, and for a time qulto a sharp skirmish was kept up. General Gregg dismounted some of his men, and finally drove ihem off. • In the charge made on the Second CorpSjtwo guns were said to have been taken: by the enemy, but they were subsequently recaptured. Fighting continued at this part of the line till after dark, when a heavy rain storm set in, putting an end to the fighting for the day. The 9th Corps occupied the right of the advance, but did not gain much ground, the object being to allow the left to get fairly around on the Boynton plank road. The colored division of the 9th had some skirmishing with the enemy, but nothing ap proaching a fight. • They lost a few wounded. , Gregg’s cavalry had a sharp light with sie rebels " in the forenoon, when they attacked, the rear of his column. He charged and drove them’ back, cap turing a number of prisoners, and eight or ten wagons loaded with supplies, together with the horses,mules, Ac. . The troops that occupied the country over which we passed tc-day were Boteler’s and Young’s divi sions of South Carolina and Georgia troops, with part of’Wilcox’s brigade. The left wing gained about fifteen miles of country to-day, and is now In a position to attack the enemy’s works on the flank. General Warren had a narrow escape. While riding along the line to-day a ball grazed his cheek, and made a slight wound, October 28—7>£ A. M.— The number oi prisoners taken yesterday was about three hundred. Rate last evening some rebel cavalry .captured three or four ambulances belonging to the 6th Corps, which got on the wrong road. RESULTS OB THE LATE MOVEMENTS—OUR LINE EXTENDED THREE MILES ON .

Headquarters;Army op the Potomac, Oct, 29.—The late movements of this army have re! suited in extending our lines as far aa.Hatchor’s Run, on the Duncan road, a distance of about three miles beyond our former position on theSieft, and in the discovery of the exact position of the enemy's lines, and the works erected for their defence, as well as a more complete knowledge of the country between us andthe South Side Railroad! It was .hot believed that the enemy had any very strong works in this direction, and that taking them by surprise they oould be easily driven into their inner lines of Petersburg, hut to the surprise of all. not only were the enemy found entrenched bn noth sides of the Boynton plank road, bat they had strong works on both sides of the run, extending several miles, ,4. ■ - •’ The zd Corps, In tlieir charge on tho plank road) drove the rebels from their works on the south side of the run and across the bridge, of which they held possession until ordered to withdraw. In the advance of the sth Corps they moved on the south side of the run, and'the road being very crooked in this vicinity, by keeping close to it there was a gap between the left and the right at the 2d Corps. The enemy took advantage of this, and massing in the woods, under cover, made a most de termlned assault bn the right of the 2d Division of the 2d Corps, evidently wish tho intontion of capturing the entire force on the right.

They have established railroad and telegraphic communication between Corinth and Jackson, conscripting every person able to . bear arms, Including boys and old men, and sending agents to every part of West Tennes see, outside of our lines, to seize stock of all kinds, hardware goods,'wines, and 'every thing that oan be of service to them.

LARGE REINFORCEMENTS TO PRICE'S ARMY—RE ■CRUITING AMONG THE MISSOURI SECESSIONISTS. - A; resident of Glasgow, Mo., Informs the Missouri Democrat, in regard to Price’B invasion of that State, that among the secession population of the Missouri river counties the impression was strong and almost universal that Price had come to possess, occupy, and remain In Missouri, and in the full beliof of this thousands have been rallying to his standard. Major Lewis, of Howard county, declares; that not less than twelve hundred men, and probably fifteen hun dred, joined Price from that county alone. Four full companies of rebels left Glasgow and: Its im mediate vicinity to unite with the rebels. A like report is brought from other counties, and It is estimated that Price’s total accessions of this kind wlll.be not less than twenty-five thousand. This, we think, is beyond the fact; but as large a number as fifteen thousand oan be probably rolled upon as Price’s reinforcement, since he crossed the South west Branch Railroad. Many of them will doubt less fail off on finding the Idea of holding the State an illusion. r. .

UNION MBAOUE HALI.. SFSXCH OF COLONEI. S. STOCK*** MATTHEWS, OF mahyiAhp. ■ Notwithstanding the excitement on Chestnut street, the Hall was again crowded on Saturday evening 'hy a highly respectable .assemblage of ladles and gentlemen, to hear an address from 001. R, Stockett Matthews, of Maryland. The cheering' and groaning on the ontside of the butMlng, before* and during the passage of the Democratic proces sion, gt times: portion of the audience from hearing the speaker. It Is only justice to him to say that all whb were seated preferred to listen to him, and an Wdleuoe equal in numbers, and cer tainly not inferior ; in intelligence and refinement, to any which, ever assembled in this Hall, gave ample proof of their appreciation of his speech, of nearly two hours’ duration, by following his argu ment with the closest attention while the riot was loud ontside. Notwithstanding the great excite ment in the streets, 001. Matthews maintained his hold upon the audience, and had hundreds more hearers in the latter part of his speech than In the first. At about eight o’clock Hon. Henry I>. Moore introduced the Hon. Charles Gilpin, who, in a few appropriate remarks, presented tfa,e speaker, who wasreceived with repeated outbursts of applause. He commenced his remarks by acknowledging, his appreciation of this most cordial and over whelming outburst of enthusiasm in behalf of a newly-bom free State, which was expressed somewhat as a matter of welcome to- one of its humblest citizens. He did not appropriate to himself in the smallest measure any part of this extraordinary enthusiasm. Hearts attuned to li berty were wont to vibrate'at, all times when the hand that touched the string was consecrated to freedom. [Applause.] AndAe did not wonder at these manifestations of enthusiasm when ha re membered that to-day his audience had learned de finitely, beyond peradventure, that notwithstanding the fraud, the chicanery, Innumerable peijuries and unusual duplicity in high places—despite even the treachery ot one of the representatives of the people of the State, in the United States Senate— ; despite' the perseverance with which the ablest men of the opposition had dogged the steps of the Go vernor of the State In the hope of bringing to bear upon him some some influence which would pre vent him from fulfilling the requisitions of the Constitution itself—despite the fact that the election just helu had, in many counties, been made a mere mockery—despite all the accustomed Iniquity of the Copperheads and the Secessionists—the proclama tion declaring Maryland a free State was a matter of record. [Long-continued cheering.] The voices of those of her people who had redeemed Maryland from bondage had not, perhaps, that thunder-tone which - it* had been fondly hoped they would have bad. This might be ascribed to the fact that objec tions were taken to particular features of that Con stitution by men who were favorable to-it as a whole, and who allowed themselves, to be la fluenced entirely by those objections, or to the fact that thousands of citizens • neglected to vote, In the belief that the Constitution would, beyond doubt-, be ratified without their votes. But, ' no.matter to what causes the reduction la the ag gregate vote was to be ascribed (a vote of fifty-seven thousand having been polled, out of an aggregate vote of ninety thousand cast in the State four years .< ago), the consolation remained that the free Con stitution framed for the State of Maryland was no w the organic law of the State, and was destined to diffuse its biessingß among the people, and exercise its jurisdiction over them until such time as they, in their wisdom, take another step toward the eleva tion which they were destined to reach. [Great applause.]‘ The speaker not only felt to-night, lor the first time, that he waß the citizen of a free State, but that the emancipation ot the State of Maryland was the prelude to the emancipation of the whole South; [applause], the promise that slavery would be eradicated in every State from the Potomac to the Gulf. The emanci patlon of Maryland was significant. In no Other- State were the'people more devoted to the tradi tions and Interests of that system—-in no State were they more decided In their zeal to propagate and extend slavery. The people of Maryland wore, in many parts, as thoroughly pro-slavery as the people of South Carolina 5 even more 'so, be came they were Jiving near the borders of afree State. -It was only by making the word “Aboli tiopift” a stigma upon all to whom it was ap plied that they hoped to succeed :in silencing the months of men who did not sing the praise' of slavery, and treat it as the only, the great insti tution of the State, which, like Aaron’s rod, swal lowed up everything else. But never more, as long as Liberty was the enchantress of men who had taßted the sweetness of freedom—never more again, so long as the men of Maryland preferred the whole country to a portion of it, and honored the nation as the pioneer in the family of na tions—never more, so long as the Republic strides -onward, carrying In her hand 3 the blessings which she reaps from her industry and the development of her resources—never . more, until the - people of Maryland forget what they were and what they used.to *be—would slavery come back. [Great. cheering, renewed again and again.] That institution had- received honorable sepul ture. It slept in no common grave, but beneath a monument which would foreverremain as the proof of the loyalty of the people of that State. There had been placed above Its tomb the Constitution of the State, on which were to bo found these commanding truths: “All men are born free and equal, on titled to certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and they are entitled to a full compensation for their labor.” '[Applause.] Another expression, which -was deserving of ratificatlonjby other States, was that the Constitution of the United States and laws passed in pursuance thereof were the supreme law of the land, all ordinances of Legislatures and reso lutions of conventions to the contrary notwithstand ing. Maryland was the first State in the Union to aver, by a most explicit provision In her Constitution, the organic law Of the State, the truth whieh the Constitution of the United States ought to have made the commanding truth of the Constitution It self* that the allegiance of every man is due to the great empire which: owns the hearts and heads, nerves and muscles, of every man in the Republic. . [Great applause.] Having said what he considered ito be sufficient with reference to what the people of his own State had done, the speaker said that he desired to add one word with reference to what they intended to do. It had been said that the Constitu tion was adopted by a majority of only 600, and that that majority cane from the ranks .of the Boldiers of the State' In the field; who had voted as they fought, and that that vote was illegal and fraudulent. An Injunction had been applied for In two courts to restrain the Governor from issuing his ‘proclamation, declaring the free Constitution the law of Maryland—but without avail. These things had been asserted j -but the speaker confidently declared that-on the Sth day of November the State of Maryland would pre sent] a new and striking spectacle, that notwith standing the Bmallneas of the vote in favor of the Constitution, nearly two-thirds of the' 1 ninety odd thousand votes cast four years ago would be cast for Abraham Lincoln: and Andrew Johnson. : [Great applause.] The people of Maryland would so vote, not because they thought Mr. Lincoln either the greatest or. the best man of the century—not because they, thought him a man who entertained the best comprehension of the agencies necessary for the suppression of the rebellion—not because they thought him in all re spects the man whom, if they had the privilege of choosing, they would place in the Presidential chair of the United States,* (though the speaker believed and knew that he was the choice of a majority of the people of Maryland,)—but the people had learned that Mr. Lincoln had done wed in al! the thousand perplexities with whiehhewas besetdu*.! ring the last three years, and had seen him strug- -1 ling under burdens which no human shoulders ever carried before. Tell us, they say to themselves, has any man’s heart throbbed more heavily than his, when the plans which were devised for the bene fit of the nation have failed of success 1 Oar people appreciate the .difficulties and responsibilities at tendant upon the office of President of the United States in a time like this. Our people are willing to make due allowance for unintentional errors of. judgment; they do not look for perfection. But what should he looked for In a public officer by a. pure, true, and patriotic people at this time is honesty, sleepless vigilance, and a desire to pre serve the nation. J n. regard to general questions the speaker- said it was now well understood throughout the world that but one question was involved in , tMs civil war. which was the .comprehend ve and all-absorbing question; Shall there he a reputlican government on the earth? The issue was the exietehce of our great Government. Should it go down into the hlackness.of utter night? Should the decree go forth that It Is doomed ? Should it sink for ever? Every bullet shot into the heart of a rebel say* it shall live, and every ballot that kills a Cooparhead says it shall live. [Enthusiastic applause 1 The posi tion of the Democratic party of to-day was idonticil with its position four years .ago. There could be no question: as. to what their position then was. The so called Democratic; party was then divided, Stephen A. Douglas representing one wing, comprising the loy alty and discipline of the party, and Breckinridge the other wing, which comprised all those who opposed the regular organization and candidate, and who were hent on treasonable objects. Breckinridge was then at heart a traitor to the Government and laws of the [lotted States; and was only loyal to the Government and la ws of the State of Kentucky, and was only awaiting an op portunity to: demonstrate the fact. His supporters averred - that if the election, of Mr. Lincoln was con summated, he and his associates would treat Chat fact as a declaration of civil war, and would break up the Gor vernment . The 'speaker referred to the position of parties four years ago in proof of his assertion that the Democratic organization occupied the same pro-slavery position which it then occupied. ~ "What did the rank end die of that . party favor now? , They ; were in arms in the South at the dictation and by coercion of a Southern despotism which existed there.. . The Southern Government was 1 no more nor less than the attempt of thirty or fifty men in the South'-' to govern the whole people. Do free expression of sentiment or free press was allowed in the South. To thost who were iu favor of an armistice, and of calling upon “our deluded brethren” to return to the Union, and of the disbandment of our armies for that purpose, he would say that ihs people of the South never voted en an ordinance of recession, and never had an oppor tunity to vote upon such a. measure. The habeas corpus never had an "existence in the South; cou senption was the ruie, and exemption the exception. Every poor man is forced into their armies, and a dis tinction made in favor of the rich. The Southern Con federacy stripped the granaries, appropriated the in duetiy and lives of the people to its own advancement; and, to perpetuate that tyranny, that unmitigated des potism, they say they will fight until they die, and prefer annihilation to surrender. There are none of the amenities of life for men in the Sonth who do not favor the Southern Confederacy. They are crashed at the hearthstone, and shamed in .public, unless they agree to fight for the Confederacy. The Confederacy resolved from the beginning to use every man, woman, and child, if-necessary, to build up a confederacy of slaves, and there is no justice or liberty to be : found within its limits. [Great applause: The speaker then referred to the threats of the Demo cratic party, four years ago. to break up the-Govern ment, and their attempts to carry their threats into exe cution. South Carolina seceded, then Florida, that was bought by the taxes of the people of the United States, and was owned by that people, and which State, from the time of her purchase to her act of secession, never returned a dollar to the national treasury: then fol lowed-Texts, another of the purchases of the people; then came Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama, and the rest -of them They formed, military organizations;: officers of the army and navy .resigned;, arsenals and forts were seized. They went to work and set up an independent Government, and before Mr. Lincoln became the President of the United States, the Southern Cuciederscy, was iu 1.0 11 blast. They .did uot.permiE: him to indicate his policy, but fired on the flag of the country that never before had been surrendered in dis honor. Then the people crisa to Mr. Lincoln. “ yon mint keep your oath; you baVe sworn to support this Government.and yon nnist keep your oath: call for spirits from the vasty deep, and thousands aul teis of thousands, if you will, but in. the name of God your oath,’.
