SPEECH OF HON. D.
SON.
S. DICKIN-
IntCortUndCounty. N.
. day Last
on Tues.
W come bere, not as Democrats not a
Republican!", not as Abolitionists, not as
A tnericaos, but we come here as the people,
seeiug that the enemy is at the gates of tbe
Citadel, seeing that armed rebellion is
threatening as, we come together to day np
the hands of the Constitution and to cling to
its pillars, swearing in our faith if these insti
tutions full, as the people we fall with them.
(Cheers ) The question Is not, "Who is at
the head of this Administration 1" and I shell
not Inquire whether bis name be Abraham
Lincoln or. Andrew Jackson, lie is tbe
people's representative of the Government,
and forlhote who like him and coufide in him,
It is their duty to do all tbey can to sustain
bitn ; and those who do not, it is their duty
to do much more. (Cheers.) Those who
believe tbat be and bis administration are
adequate, can rejnico in the price of their
strength ; and those who believe bo is Dot
adequate should come forward ond whip their
horses and call upon their llerculee and put
their shoulder to the wheel. 1 rliall not
adopt your political principles, if you are an
opponent of mine as many of you are and
1 don't ak yon to adopt initio ; but I ask you
to go with me in a great and common duly,,
which concerns us all alike; to shield the
Government first froni rebellion and destruc
tion; and then, if there is a question who
shall govern it afterwards, we will disenss
that oo another day. (Cheers) I go for tbe
preservation of this Government, J go to
cleave hurl down, as Snul did A gag, who
undertakes to destroy it. and it is of little
consequence to me whether the enemy of the
Government is in arms, or whether be is
aiding the armed ; whether be is a Rebel or
ao aid to rebellion ; whether he points the
Tatal weapnu at the bosom of his fellow man,
or whether he aids and encourages another
to do it; whether he applies tbe toicb to tbe
Capital of our country uud attempts to burn
il to ufches and destroy its archives, or wheth
er he is an apologist and connives and
encourages it uudcr the tongue of police. I
huve learned what little reputntmo I enjoy
before tbe public by standing hy tbe Consti
tution, and I ioteud to stand by it as long as
there is one single shred of the Constitution
led, und whether it is availed by opinion or
urms, by North or by South, by one, class or
by another, 1 care not. lie is the foe to tbe
Government who assails it, and my foe,
and 1 dure him to a trial of the strength or
tbe Constitution and tbe Union before the
people.
The very existence of the institutions
under which we live are threatened, and
there are but two sides io this question. One
is in fuvur and the other against it. There
can be no doubt of the result of this matter
il properly prosecuted ; and we are embar
rassed more to day by attempts to connive at
tbe rebellion within, than we are at the
rebellioo itself. For there is strength enough
and power enough of men, and money, and
material, and determination, to trust) this
rebellion to tbe very eartb, where it deiVrves
to be crushed. There is no other way to
deal with it. The Administration has un.
questionably put forth its hest efforts, 1 am
not tbe choseu defender of the Administra
tion. 1 am its political opponent when 1 act
politically: but in emergencies of this kind 1
intend to rise above political considerations
etilirely.
I change no political opinions. I say
political opinions have nntbiug to do with
tbe question, one way or tbe other. His not
who shall tenant and govern the capital It
is not wbo shall govern this great State or
Nation. Il is, "Shall it be preserved for
any party to govern." (Cheer.) New unite
shuli escape from that issue. There ere on
slippery und tilthy stepstoueg by which
political ouice suckers crawl away Ironi that,
either up or don. It, is a question of exist
ence our existence and he who is not lor
nidiutaiuing that existence is for destroying
t. 1 be Administration has come in with a
lbouuod embarrassments around them ;
corruption utid tteuson in every department
to the very lips; uiil.tary officers betraying
their couiuiaud, -navy ouicers stealing their
ships, ollicers in tbe mini and in the custom
houses, und every department, stealing its
property or turning it to tbe enemy ; aod a
uew administration with a new Cabinet
coming iu as a parly Adminietrutiou, buving
ouly the confidence of a part of the people,
had all kiods of embarrassment on Its bands.
But so lur as tbey have done what I com
mend, 1 commend them for it. If tbey have
not done all 1 wuuld myself have done under
like circuslaiices if tbey have been remiss,
it is tin province of the people to call them
to account, and ask them to administer the
government so as to put down the rebellion
ut the earliest inomeut. Now tbe sio that
most easily besets tbe American people is
politics.. Everything is politics in this coun
try. Like the frogs. ana lice, ond locusts of
Egypt, it comes up in the bed and tbe
kneading trough, l'olilics is what ale was
to Uomluce ; we eat, aud drink, and sleeepon
politics, and if I wish in find a traitor to
heaven and earth, and find a name to curse
the knave, 1 would call him a mean, mana
ging grog house politician. Even io the
matter of Ibis great crisis, which threatens
our very couulry and existence, there is an
attempt going lorward to raiso a political
party upon it. W by don t you rally up to
sustaiu this Government Y "Why, those
Abolitionists kindled this fire." " ell, what
difference does tbat make 1 does it bnrn any
more tbau if Democrats had kindled it f
I'he question is, how can we arrest the Same,
not who kindled it. Your cburcb ia oo ure
uud you are summoned to suve il. The bouse
is on lire aud burning, enu inreaietung ine
destruction of the dwelling beside it, so
tbat
Tbe Uacktte of (she shall inaik where il Hood,
And a wild mother tcieam e'er lit. famishing bio.4."
Our fathers planted this Government
They bad but a faint and feeble idea of what
they were doing. Tbey looked forward to
the day star of their bope for a Government
of freedom, but nun uo conception toai tuis
ureal aod mighty Government would arise up
Irony their beginning. ISow we nave a ur
greater duty to discbarge tbo our fathers
had. Tbey (ought lor ao experiment mey
fouiibt for hone. But here this rich inheri
tance it spread out before us, and all we bava
to do it to preserve it. No aiarcn.ng osre
foot over frozen around, amidst poverty
sick nest aod starvation. N 3 toil and labor
tucb at our father endured. All we bava to
do it to employ the mighty elements tbat
tbey under Providence furnished nt, and wt
deserve tbe most abject slavery if do not
preserve tucb iostututiout when tbey ban
bean vouchsafed to ut.
But there it tucb ao attempt goicg on bow
In order tbat tenrvy politicians my ride into
office upon It, or have ao organization tbat
Ibey can manage. It it not tbe Democratic
party. J repudiate it for democracy up and
down, and round about, and cliugooully. and
in every other tense ; but it it a set of self
constituted meddlers, Mrs. Cunninghams of
tbe Democratic party, whj ar in labor with
their bog a s baby, that they may claim tbe
Democratic loberitance. . .
But there is tucb a thing aa h war power,
and that seems to have been overlooked,
misunderstood by some and entirely ignored
by others, I have no doubt by design. They
tell you that the President bat oo power to
do certaio things, lie is a usurper aud
tyrant, and it occasions these patriots ex
ceeding psin to find tbe President going
against the Constitution. It has not touched
tbeir tender hearts to tee Jeff. Davis & Co.,
erect a Government within the bounds of I lie
United States II bos out burl them to see
them firing on Sumter and the Stars and
Stripes, and commit treason in the face of the
Government. Hut tbey are afraid that in
putting that rebellion down, the President of
tbe United States wont go exactly according
to tbe Constitution, for they would dislike tu
see the rebellion put down unless it was put
down according to tho limit of the Constitu
tion, tecundem artcm.
There seems to be ao idea that tbe Presi
dent can do nolbiug except' what is wrilteo
in the Constitution. For iustunce, if be ia
going to have an army to put down rebellion,
they niUBt inarch right aod left, as the milita
ry phrase is, according to the direction of the
Constitution, or slunri still. The Constitu
tion is a great landmark, and not a bill of
particulars. Every power given by the Con
stitution directing a thing to he done, ulwnys
implies tbe power to do it. If the Constitu
tion erects a government, it presupposes the
maintenance of that Government by nil the
usual aod ordinary means within the reach of
that Government ; und in times of war, and
in lime of rebellion, there it' power arising
from the very necessity of tbe case that con
trols the whole question, and when yon hear
the small beer politician prating on the idea
of unconstitutionality, ask him in the first
place whether he thinks it exactly ctmstilu-
tional for men to en into tbe United States
Senute, and in the House of Representatives. '
and io the army ami navy, und OLe day
swear. do swenr in tbe. presence of l
Almighty God, that I will obsetve the Con
stitution of th Uuiled States, aud 1 will dis
charge the ofiice or duty of Senator, accordmi;
to the best of my ability," ask bim if. after
having token thut oulh, and while il is yet '
warm on his lips, if it is unconstitutionul fur '
him to try to raise a rebellion ; and when be !
has answered thut, tell him that if there is
perjury io bell, it is that kind of perjury. I
Say that the Administration any Adininis
iration, I dou'l cure whether it is one of my
choice or one of my opposition has the right
to do everything by implication, according
to the laws of war, for tbe maintenance of onr
Government ; aud if they do not do it, I will
be one for dealing with Intui, and Culling
them traitors themselves.
Away with all your Bluff about tho necessity
of Having a wrilteo guarantee for everything
the President may do tu "j.seive the Gov.
eminent. 1 gay it is a part of bis oath to
Bland by and save the country und employ
such means as be believes will do it ; and if
he does out do il he deserves to he impeached.
This is the law ofall nations, and always bus
been. Hut there is tbe law of habeas corpus,
uud that bus been invaded, and the President
has violated it and has not allowed some
traitor to be released, aod bus suspended the
writ. He has done exactly right ; and I did
say, a while ogn, tbat in some cases, if I
could not have arrested the treachery I would
have suspended the (dividual with it, and 1
have not changed my opinion much since.
What on idea it would be. Here is a reta l
lion in Baltimore or in Missouri, and a traitor
in league with tbe enemy, and hy bis conduct
be is abont to cause our armies to be sacrificed .
our very Government io danger, its exist
ence is imperiled the lives of a large number .
of persons sacrificed. He is known to be
traitor morally known. Ho has been tracked
out and ascertained, and yet be must be
brought op before a judge and examined, and
if there is no legal technical evidence against
him, be must be discharged ; and if the
Government don't like it they must uppeal
end get it np before a court ut some future
time, that may sit aod may not, end enter
upon a litigation as protracted as the t'huu- j
eery suit in "Bleak House " j
But to suspend tbe "Liberty of the Press " j
Ob ! bow bun tout is to have the rress
suspended ! (Laughter ) Tbe Liberty of the
Press! You say anything to them on the j
subject of the Government "Liberty of the ;
Press" ia the first thing you hear. The j
Press bts liberty enough and here lei n
shake the wrinkles out of this befogged and i
pettifogged question a little. I'he liberty of
the press is a great and sacred right and
blessing. But the liberty of the prest is no
greater a right tban individual liberty, und
than a thousand other rights. The liberty
of the press is to be enjoyed to long as il
does not aid in the destruction of the Gov
ernment; to long at it is an engine for good
and not for evil ; to long a. il is ao element
for preservation and not destruction. 'I'he
Idea is the most Idle, toolisn anil miscnevons
that ever existed to allow an infernal muchiue
of treason to exist and work its erruuii of
mischief because it is a "Press."
Toe right of individual liberty is one of the
most sacred right! under heaven; far above

The great cry now Is peace. Tbey say,
"There must he peace." We a.e alt iu favor

men. Democrats and others, think il attainable

looks at it with half un eye can tee tbat it It
Impossible. Ilia one of the most formidable
rebellion, and one of the most causeless aud
wicked, tbat has ever been since Satan's rebel
lion in beuven.
Stand up, Mr. Apologist for Secession ! and
let ns see whether you can fuce en imlignntil
people, la what work are you engaged?
Attempting to destroy tbe Government of
your fathers I "I am uol trying to do that -I
am in favor of 'Peace.'" Every widowed
woman, made so by tins rebellion, has a right
to look opon j on, sir, hs the murderer of her
husband. Every orphan n.ay look opon you
as the guilty wretch the destroyer ol its na
tural protecler. The loyal citizen too looks
upon you ns one who aids and abets treason,
and furnishes aid and comfort to the enemy.
Your hands are red with hlood blood of your
murdered citizens. A h, in this brief war how
many have been sent down with violence and
biilchery to the grove I How many hitter un
availing tears have been shed 1 IIow many
pure and gentle hearts have been crushed und
broken! And still yon cry peace, when you
kuow there is no peace ! Come, take arms in
your bands and stand by their side, ond point
your bayonet at the breasts of your own
brethren here, or else help nt put it down
You will Hand as men witb men, and be no
more guilty in tbe sight of God to take arms,
than to encourage ethers to do so. The par
ty that attempts to do this ought to sink.
Any party ought to sink to inf. my that can
not lay aside its politics in this crisis ; and
should tbe Deaincratie party, with all its an
cient history, attempt carrying this question
by opposing itself to this war, Ihero wouldn't
be enough oftln-m lell for linger boards to
point to the burial-ground where the whole
parly will be engnlphed together. Now jet
us see. Suppose there wa9 a riot in Court
laud, und a hundred men were engaged in the
destruction of properly you call the magis

tempt to put down the rebellion, and tbe force
is inadequate, and they call out the military

Bgainst us It is threatening lite and proper

down, and at the Eimii time when you are put

fers of peace." You send the officer to orrejt
a murderer. His hands are red with blood,
hut vnu tell the ftfiicer when be comes : "W'e
are opposed to murderers, but go and arrest
him, and make dim the most liberal proposi
l tionn of peace." Thut is the argument of it
i Now I wonder whether they suppose tuey Can

liberal offers of peace to ao army in the field
of hundreds of thousands of men, with their
guns poiuled in sight of the capital, destroy

I crime, political and moral, that can he sum
med up iu the catulogn of depruvity. 1 might
' possibly consent to drop some of their leuders
a hue, but tbeiu would he a noose at tbe end
i of it.
i I om Tor just such propositions of peace as
' have been made to them at Ilatteras by Hol
ler and Slringlmni. Stringhnm is a very good
I name, but 1 u.u quite willing it should be
' Struigiicm. Thut is the only proposition
that they cun understand or appreciate, und
the only proposition that can or ought to be
made. "Why, we must go with a great deal
, more leniency, because they ore onr brothers 1"
Are they? But ore they authorized to mur
der, and destroy the common citadel of the
family household? No! meet them at once.
It is much easier to defend the doorsill than
the hearthstone. It is better to tight the
battle ut the porch than at the altar. Seltlo

men meant disunion. They care no more for
the question of their slavery than 1 do for nu
dity in the I'Vjee Islands. They bave been
determined thut they bad rather leign in bell

tbe whole country, tbey meant to govern

in lilts wicked rebellion, to treat them with

Now, if they had only come to us witb libe

to them in the same way; but when they

OUR SECRET DRAWER.
There is a secret drawer in every heart,
Where we lay onr treasures one by one ;
Each dear remembrance of th huried past ;
Each cherished relic of the time that's
gone ;
The old delights of childhood long ago i
The things we loved, because we knew
them best j
The first discovered primrose in our path j
The cuckoo's earliest note ; tbe robbio'a
nest ;
The merry bay makings around our borne j
Our rambles in tbe summer woods and
lanee ;
The story told beside the winter fire,
While the wind moaned across the window
panes ;
Tbe golden dreams were dreamt in after
yeBrs ;
Those magic visions of our young ro
mance ;
The sunny nooks, the fountains and tbe
flowers.
Gilding the fairy landscape of onr trance;
The link which binds us Inter still to one
W ho fills a corner in our life to day, '
Without whose love we dure cot dream how
dark
Tbe rest would teem, if it were gone
away ;
The song that thrilled our tools with very
j(,y ;
The gentle word tbat unexpected came;
The gilt we prized, because tbe thought was
kind ;
The thousand, thousand things that bave
no name.
All these io some far bidden corner lie,
Within tbe mystery of that secret drawer.
Whose magic springs, though stranger bands
may touch,
Yet oono may gaze upon its guarded store.
An Execution in Illinois.
A man named James White was executed
at Salem Illinois, on Thursday, tbe 1 Sib of
A ugust, lor the murder of Andrew J. A pple
gate. Tbe Advocate, giving un accouut of
the preliminary arrangements for tbe execu
tion, tbe assembling of a large tbrong of spec
tators, Arc, says :
Soon after this time, the public were as
tounded by tho report that the convict, AYhile
had possessed himself of a chain, aud, armed
with it, threatened instant death lo any mac
wbo should dare to euter bis prison. Tbe
report was found to be true. There bad been
a chain strongly fixed intbe Qoor or tbe pri
son, to which il had become necessary on tome
refusions to secure tbe prisoners ; this cbain
lute with almost superhuman strength bad
wrenched from its fastenings. It wus a com.
tuon sized ox chain, about three feet in leogth,
and upon one of its ends un iron ring nearly
nine inches in circu.ufereuce. White had
armed himself with this chain, and by running
tbe links through the ring bad made a heavy
kuol of iron, which proved to be iudeeed a
formidable weapon. Standing thus armed
inside tbe door of the cell, White declared
witb terrible oaths thai no living man should
enter. Iu this dilemma, a pause ensued in
proceedings. Slierill' Iiluek made an attempt
to enter, assisted by four reBolute and feni less
men. Driven to desperation, tbe hardened
cnmiuul struck a tremeudous blow, which
happily mulcted but a slight injury opon tbe
lell bund of tbe sheriff.
It was now proposed to inject ammonia
into the face of the convict aud thus by bis
temporary suffocation, enable the officers to
take possession of tbe cell. This was tried,
but failed. Tbe miserable murderer recoiled
for an iustuut under the efiect of tbe liquid
but speedily recovering himself, he Blood
again ut tbe door armed with this terrible
weapon and looking the impersoniticjtiou of
a fiend. It really seemed as though tbe
urch. fiend helped bim. It now was resolved
to drench the cell with chloroform and thus
lull the turbulent spirit within until he could
be solely cuplured. Tbe sheriff was still
advised to disable bim by a pistol ball,
but answered that he woold Dot proceed lo
such harsh measures until all other less cruel
means had failed. One or two bottles of chlo
roform were procured and the atmosphere of
the cell was thorougly impregnated with its
fumes; blankets were suspended outside tbe
grated windows of the cell, and every step ta
ken to muke tbit effort successful. At first,
the furious wretch laughed at this attempt.
It was cleur thut his wicked course of life bad
made bim familiar witb tbe use aud the effects
of chloroform, lodoed, be said so, and told
Ihe officers that the article they were usiog
was. weak and pour. He evidently wai ac
quainted with cheinlculs. lu order to resist
lit eilecta he wound bit bed quilt around bis
face, went occasiooully to the window for air,
aod removed a portion of tbe blanket by
reaching out and drawing it through tbe gra
tingf so as to make ao opeoiug for tbe aduiit
eion of tbe wind.
More than un hour bad been consumed in
these fruitiest efforts to obtain possesion ot
Ihe prisoner and his weapou, and il begau lo
be apparent that harsher means were ncctssa
ry. At about twelve o'clock, While was
heard to toy "they bave tried bortshoro aud
chloroform upon mu, but one has neutral, zed
the action ofthe other ; Ibey ure now going to
rv aomethliig else." He evidently taw that
be must ultimately submit, and Ibougb at first
determined to tell bis life us dearly at possible,
his courace and slrecgth uuw began tu lull
' tin therefore proposed thai if the sherill would
give bun his dinner aud a drink of whiskey,
aud lei him live till one o'clock, be would sur
render himself. This proposition was accept
ed, aod W bile gave up bis knotted chain thro'
tbe grating of the door. A dinner was pre
pared for bun, and a glass of water with a slight
infusion ot whiskey, hauded him to drink. It
was the last ollice ol aimureut mercy, aud the
sheriff willingly perfoiuied it.
At one o'clock the sheriff entered the cell.
White came forward end surrendered biuiselt.
His arms were piuioned behind bim, and be
oi.llieit resolutely down the stuirs oftbejoif
through the ball, and into the fearful place
pared for his terrible death. Her brier rell

ri, .ertiee concluded. White, accompanied
by tbe tberiff and bi. assisltolt, ascended tbe
ttept of the gullow without apparent trepi
dation. He never faltered a moiueut, but
examined with a eritic! eye all tbe applian
ce prepared for bit execution. Aud oow
occurred out vf the most horrifying aod piu
ful scenes in thlt terrible dram. When
once upon th scaffold, and his anklet being
bound together, the Usual whit cap was
produced, and he was informed tbat it wa
necessary to put it on his bead. To tbit
White objected, insisting that do change
should he made iu bis apparel. He wore the
little felt cap with which he bad covered bit
bead from hit first imprironment. When the
sheriff removed the felt cap, and wat about
substituting tbe osunl wbite one, tbe prisoner
again objected, eod.;witb fearful imprecations,
declared that il should oot be put on. She'
riff Black, in a decided tone, endeavored to
persuade tbe prisoner, bot io vain. For
uenrly an hour tbe officers were engaged io a
atruggle to enforce compliance. Here, indeed
wot tbe demoniac character of ihe prisoner
displayed. He made every effort lo prevent
the odicert from potting on tbe wbite cover
ing. Pinioned ond bound as he was, be
fought with desperation. He (copped and
bit at their fingers, he leaped iuto tbe sir, be
crouched toward the ground, and for tome
time il teemed doubtful whether be could be
compelled to submit.
Alter a severe aod protracted struggle the
cap wat thrown opon bit head and securely
adjusted about hit face and the strings drawn
arouog his neck. Nothing now remained of
the direful preparations but to pot the rope
around bis neck and adjust tbe fatal noose.
With some difficulty this wat at length
accomplished, the united efforts of foor rueO
being required for this purpose. A the
sheriff drew the fatal ooose closer to itt place
and placed the knot beneath the ear of the
unhappy man, be exclaimed with feat ful
imprecations, "What in h II are you choking
me now for? you are choking me, for I cao
hardly speak." These were the last words of
the wretched man. The sheriff gave the
signal that all was ready to bis deputy, Mr.
Schultz ; in a moment the trigger was drawn
the drop fell, and that unhappy man so lately
struggling with such desperate fury, so lately
busy with his terrible etloru to aeieai ine
vengeance of the law, fell like lead through
the draw and hung, slightly oscillating,
struggling, violent human being no longer.

Carcasses of that tiny insect known aa tbe

India, gum shellac, or rather its production.
is scarcely less valuable. More than 100,000
humon beings derive tbeir sole support from

How to Know a Traitor Tbe man who
smuggles guns and ammunition across the Po
tomac into v irginia, is a traitor.
Tbe small but loquacious man who continu
ally prates about "coercion" aud "subjuga

The moo wbo says he fa s "L oion man," but
criet "peace," even to tbe surrender ( Iba
Unvernmeoi io eu. navis, is a traitor.
Tbe man who shows painful sense of the
horrors of war when tbe Rebels are shot
down, and chuckles inwardly when the de
feuden of the Union are killed, is a traitor.
A man wbo shows a morbid sensitiveness to
tbe peril of tbe Constitution, but a lively

surely a traitor.
