Still up the breery western sloped
The reaper (tlrls, like apples brown,

Aud sweep the jcotdcu harvest down.

Still fitfully theeorn-crake'a note
Comes to me from the upland lea.
Still round the forest Imwr she loved.
The woodbine trails its rich festoon;
The slumbrous poppies burst ami full
Iteneaih the silent autumn mcaiiiif.
Still round her lattice, perched aloof,
In sunny shade of thatched eaves,
The j t-uiiite clitic, with ycaiiiini pale,
And wither- in its shroud t-1 leaves.

And fill the -aiiiuy air uith balm,
And strew their petals year by year.

The huip the n.ii.-ic ull lire there.

to be the safest for the "crisis ; nnd lean

To avoid t'.ii- calamity. I would iiiaki the
sacriiice of my health nay, my life, my all.
Bell men, how can you justify yourselves for
the part vou arc enacting iu this bloody
drama ! Let me ask, Douglas suppoiters,
how could you go oil' into the disunion
caiiri ; 1 was a witness of ihe rt iirn of tt r
ror which followed the defeat of Hell, Breck
inridge nnd Douglas, and when the election
was over 1 repaired to Washinu'l mi. It was
there that Breckinridge allowed the cloven
foot. South Carolina was basely ami adroit
ly attempting to desohe toy I nion. 1 saw
Breckinridge and conver'd with him ; told
him the people were all disappointed; that
we had Ik en caught in a snap : Secessionists
would break up the Union. What was the
reply ? "Can we coerce a State ;'" 1 re
marked, "It is our ditty to save the Govern
ment." Will you coerce ?'' he again deman
ded. I told him not to deal in technicali
ties ; the laws must he enforced.
If one man in South Carolina should rob
the mint, counterfeit money, or commit any
other crime against the laws of the United
States, he would be punished ; uml it mailers
not whether the law was broken by one
man, or twenty, or 11 hundred or even by the
State itself, the (ioveinuteitt most be vindi
cated. The soul of liberty is the hive of
law. If this be so, and you have no author
ity to enforce it, you hate no law to protect
the weak ami defy tlieslron.f. My interview
with Breckinridge was like anicebirg in
my bosom. 1 was deceit ed in him, and
discovered that Brcckini itlye had 110 hope
of being elected, no hope but for Kentucky
ud the Southern States. I asked
him if
he was willing to disunite the States because
of Mr. Lincoln's success, ami because discon
tented South Carolina a'dtates the subject f
To this question Hrei kinriilge replied in ml
i'tiiiiilii:i slang uliout suliiigation nnd tlte
horrors of civil coutlict, convincing me that
he hail gone into the arms of disunion.
As he could not be President of all the
States he whs willing to divide them and
Income President of Part of them. We
separated. I turned my buck on him ami
aid, "oii deceived nut then, that was your
fault; but when you deceive me again, it
will bemine. l t me ask Hell, Breckinridge
and Douglas men what duty ia left for you
to pcrlonu Duly one. It vou cannot tind
nut what rights vou have lost, come forward
liku a hand of brothers, gather around thu
altar of your country, anil any the Constitu
tion shall be preserved. In returning to my
native State, 1 offer the olive branch in one
band uml the Constitution in tho other.
With and for it 1 have come to perish, if

erniuent is made responsible for this war by
the men who. have eiktailcd its horrors upon
