cTee and causes of the
I , WABj.
Tii contest in which the loyal people of the
' J " ate engaged; is a contest for the
' the constitution and the Union,
tor the integrity of the notion.—
given the Jeast offence, without
;d a single Subject in 1 its jnrisdio
nffey its very opponents the best
man, the {government has yet
_ a furious,- aggressive and un
relenting ~ onslaught. Long before it bad
committed any act of hostility agaihst any per
son! of place, a numerous tiody of conspirators
in Iths cotton-producing states seized on the
propqrty of the nation, defiled its flag, and pro
claimed their intention to (resist with force, of
arms [the execution of the laws.
Flattered by their first successes and the
hope of securing a large] support among the
democratic masses of othejr states, the leading
agents of this design announced a scheme for
the capture of the capital and the conduct of
their|forces to the very precincts of Faneuil
Hall.i Their speeches and journals alike
avowed the purpose of seizing on Philadelphia,
New [York and Boston, just as they bad already
seized on Pinckney and | Sumter, and every
ship,[fort, mint and arsenal within their reach.
Shouts and oheerp from thieir deluded followers
rent ibe air every time they announced that
tbeirjaim was not to secedje only, but to invade,
rule and possess.
Unper those circumstances we have accepted
war as a dire and inevitable necessity. We bold
that between the Union and the Confederacy it
is a question of life and death. We must either
maintain our government ior lose our freedom,
The .prosperity, the hearty and happy industry,
the r|cb civilization, the splendid historical tra
ditions which less than a century of freedom
have ibrought us.muat all go down under a mil
itary dictatorship-as despotic and malignant as
ever prostrated humanity. As the noble An
drew! Jobfison.of Tennessee said in his late
Speech at Cincinnati: “The same bayonets
whicn destroy this government will dictate the
next.|. Instead of a constitution they will give
you affords and shackles.”. The iron hand
whichlhow crushes the border states will- fall
upon,the rest of the Union; proud, insolent
and tiecklesss taskmasters will become the ru
lers of a once free people; and for that happy
Structure of political freedom under which we
pived for seventy years will be substituted
the terrible mechanism of arbitrary power,
i| Thk primary and essential character of this
warjthen is a straggle for our national life.
This [every body .admits ; this the authorities
proclaim ; and this must continue to he the
aim ind object of it, as written upon all our
standards and symbols. But at the same time,
wo cinnot forget the interior Causes which have
led thp insurgents into their wicked and danger
ous position. We cannot forget that this re
bellion, at the outset, was not the wish or the
work' of the people of the South, it is theirs
now pnly by force and in appearance, and that
it will cease to be theirs, in any wise, as soon
as'this government shall have consummated its
plans. ■ It was brought on wholly by the agents
of a llass which, having Jong exercised the po
litical supremacy, was unwilling to see it pass
from|jts bands. By the .election of Lincoln,
the Slave holders—who are only 350,000 in
number, with families and near friends who
taay Swell their ranks to 2,000,000, against 7,-
000,(fOO whites in oil—saw the political power
readied from their grasp, and they determined
not tp yield it without a bloody struggle. They
bad nothing to complain of the federal govern
ment for they had controlled it for fifty years;
not « solitary grievance wias or could be alleged
in their miscalled declarations of independence
hud yet, simply because the natural growth of
the ebuntry had transferred the political man
agement to other classes and other hsnds, they
invoked the most wanton and nefarious war
that [ever -fell upon n nation. Powerful by
Jtheirl wealth and long accustomed to
concert of action, ftithnnltely connected with
itfae democratic masses ofjthe North by party
organizations, they worked upon the sectional
-prejudices of their felloW-citkons until they
won k-seeming approval tjf their. designs from
the popular, judgment. At the same time, be
!it observed, they never d|ired to submit their
schemes or their proceedings to a fair andhon
iestvpto of the people. | ■
Npw; it is this class and its agents and abet
ton jwho cry out that they want tobe let alone.
It ielthie class, who ask up tp abandon the loyal,
citiepne of the South to their tender mercies.—
It istehis -dais who threaten us with slaughter
and parnage if wo do notioonsent to surrender
our [nationality. It is [his class which has
moved fifty thosuand armed and infatuated
menj-to the walls of the capital; and which
menaces the free people ojf New England with
a roll-cell of its slave in the very shadow of the
Bunker Hill Monument. Suppose we shirk
our duties to the majority of the South, sup
poset we surrender, like cravens, our republi
can {methods of government/supposo we allow
thisleouthern aristocracy to wipe out the le
gends of'our'paet glory, break opthe noble stre
tureiof Union, and erect i[n this continent an
ri-rM>ublican form of government. The south
ern ports and southern win be in their pos
[ cession, they win have armies and navies end.

they will open alliances with foreign powers.—
How long would peace be maintained between
ns? How long before their covetous eyes
would be stretched towards Cuba* and' Central
America? ,
In-other words, this letting alone of sooth am
aristocracy means that we shall allow them to
completeat leisure their millitary organiza
tion ; to cement and strengthen tbejy military
dominion by overrunning their weaker neigh
bors; to purchase, powerful external alliances
by their management of tbeir cotton and other
staples;.to add to their resources by opening
ithe infamous commerce in men, andf tbeiv hav
ing built upiand equipped armies and navies,
j and animated by their experiences of oar tame
ness of spirit and cowardice, to weak their ven
gence upon the free people'of the North. As
an obligarcy they are inveterately opposed to
our forms of government; they know that our
form of society - is gradually invading theirs;
they know that nearly all the border states will
be free states in the course of a few years ; and
they are determined to defeat us, if they : can,
either now or hereafter.
Our war, then, is made not to subjugate - the
South, but to reduce an ambitious oligarchy to
its true level and proportions We con do this
more easily now than, hereafter. In doing it
.we solve the immediate difficulties of the slavery
question. We leave it to the inevitable pt-acti
cul effects of a state of war, to the influence of a
regenerated government and the laws of politi
cal economy.. Twenty-five millions uf freemen,
North andSuuth, struggling for the institutions
which protect them, against tbe two millions
and their special instutions, possess the power
and will find tbe way to secure the ultimata tri
umph of justice, truth, order and freedom.—

EABTHS PAETINGS,
This earth is full of sad and bitter partings;
in almost every bouse is beard the voice of sigh
ing, in almost every breast there’s a tablet rebind
to the “memory of the departed;’’ some have
wandered to far distant lands, leaving loving
ones at home, who count the days and hours as
on leaden wings they drag heavily onward,
while with aching hearts they think of the wea
ry, weary miles between them; but most sad
and bitter is the parting when the death angel
calls the loved one home—when, we see the dark
ening shadows gather—when we look our last
into fund eyes that can never again return our
loving glances—when we press our last kiss up
on lip's that the angel’s breath is chilling—when
the bitter knowledge Comes that life's cord is
snapped and the cold grave has opened to re
ceive the furor we loved, and we lay them in
their narrow bouse to sleep “death’s dreamless
slumber,’’ with what a desolating sense of lone
liness we retard to oar saddened home, where
all things seem to breathe the spirit ol tbs ab
sent ; we see the vacantchair—we listen fur the
well-known step —we pant fur the kindly smile
—we sigh for the remembered voice, but, alas 1
“the places that knew them once shall know
them no more forevec." Truly, “earth is no
man’s abiding place,’’ one after another is taken
banco; none can. battle with the “fell destroy
er," hoary age and prattling yoath walk bond
in band through death’s dark valley.
The loved and honored sire, whose strong arm
has guided and protected his little Sack, is strick
en ; blenched faces gather around his bedside,
dimmed eyes watch his departing spirit, and
fainting hearts go forth to straggle in life’s bat
tle. The God of the fatherless be with thorn.
The young husband bends o’er the cold form
of his cherished wife, and bis heart grows faint
within him os he thinks of the dreary days be
fore him no kind breast whereon to lay-his
wearied bend; no'loving, cheering words to
comfort and sustain him through life’s contest;
no sweet smile or kind caress to greet him. In
after days sweet memories of the past will cheer’
him; bright hopes of a glorious re-union will
gladden him'.; but now he thinks only of the
bitter parting, and sinks in utter desolation of
spirit.'r
And the wife is called to mourn her husband;
the arms that have been her guide and support
are now powerless to her aid; the strong, lov
ing heart, that ever gathered her in its close
embrace, shielding her so tenderly from tbe
storms of life, has censed its beating; and when
men’s hearts grow faint, her -weak, shrinking
spirit must wander forth alone—no, not alone,
for the widow’s God will ever listen to her cry,
His arm will encircle her, and His strength up
hold her fainting soul and- bring her safely
through all trials.
The sweet prattle of the babe is hushed, the
raven lids droop heavily over the bright eyes,
the rosy lips grow white, and tbe pale, stricken
mother bends over the angel form in speechless
agony, the bright sunbeam-that filled her bosom
and heart with light, has returned to tbe source
from whence it came, and dark nigbt seems
brooding over her. Thus all around us are
weeping hearts and saddened memories, but we
know that in yon Heaven there will be
no pain nor parting, no dark night, nor evening
shadows, bat its golden streets will reflect the
brightness from the Father’s throne, and fill
our souls with light; then let our hearts be com
forted; let us forget the pain of parting in
thoughts of tbe glad re-union.

of Ohio made a boast that the first regiment

SPEECH OP OAPT. [ THOMAS PBA2T-
In the dew of the morning ns it melts in the
sunbeam—in the brightest river hastening to
the depths in which its fresh life Is lost—in the
loftiest mountain’s as the darknegs of the storm
covers them in night, andthey become inseper
able—in the budding of .jt.be greenest leaf—in
the tranquil glory of the fullest star that is set
in heaven—in everything that is visible on the
earth, above it, or below-j-there is an admoni
tion which reminds ns of the waywardness and
instability .of human fortunes and the .certainty
. of death.. The very stones that are planted to
-commemorate the goodness, the rank, the
achieved honors, the illustrious mind, the brave
or the beneficent career of people we have ad
mired and extolled while (living, or which sim
ply register a birth and a decease, leaving the
story of the dead, if worthy of it, to be written
in a book the characters Of which shall never
fade—these very stones, far more forcibly than
the losses they record, teach the lesson that our
days on the earth ore ns a shadow, and there is
none abiding. Be it marble, be it granite, be
rit the sternest stone or metal, the letters and
emblems with which it is wrought grain by
grain decay, and'the daylcoraes at last when
some strange creature, whose communion is
with the past, and with the past alone, peering
and gleaming through his spectacles, searching
keenly and fiercely almost, with brain and chis
el, vainly strives to rescue a solitary epitaph
from the confusion and mystery into which it
has irrevokably passed. iSuch, then, being the
lesson tanght- by the brightest, the strongest,
the grandest forms and voices, whether in the
sky, the land, or sea—such the lesson taught
by the very stones which imsn, in his love, his
vanity, his courtesy, or gratitude, erects as en
during memorials of his race—no wonder that
here, this day, in the midst of all these'games
and pastimes, through thje heart of this health
ful and joyous crowd, over all this blended splen
dor of foliage and sunshine, above the shrill
tumult of the boats that vex the river on the
rpcks of which we stand, and the music io
which these waters, sweeping there before us,
have seemed to leap—no wonder that a broad
shadown from the hushed'battle-field should rise
and overspread us. [Hear, hear, hear.] There
are eyes clouded and gushing with bitter sor
row in the desolation of apirit, in homes where
Win ter. has settled in the zenith of Summer,
while w*e stand here blessed and gladdened with
all the warmth and beautieousness, with all the
promise and fruitfulness of this propitious hour
and consecrated scene; |nnd there' are little
hearts that have grown bSg and heavy in dark
ened rooms, waiting and praying for footsteps
which once were cheerier to them than the
songs of the birds that greet the rising sun, but
-which shall never wake again the echoes of the
expectant house. [Sensation-] In the name,
for the sake, in tendernesjs and compassion, in
proud regard and duty, to those whpsp husbands
and fathers, fighting in this ranks of the 69th,
were slain in battle, soaliijg their oath of Amer
ican citizenship with their blood—whoso door
ways are now hung with blackest mourning,
and whose tables miss tt|e industrious hands
that ofice furnished thcirj with bread—in the
name of the widowed homes of the dead sol
diers of the 69th, we, claim these soldiers
as our brothers, and though they were the poor
est of the earth, would be [prouder of them than
the haughtiest princes arc of their ancient dia
dems and domains. [Lould cheers.] With this
purpose and these emotions, we have assembled
bore to-day, and hence it Is I have said that this
was a propitious hour and it is a consecrated
scene. ' [Great applause.] High above these
banners, these trees, these pillars —gathering
all—the youngest the fairest, the hardiest and
the eldest, thenide; the gentle, white hairs and
glowing Cheeks, the extremes of society, life,
and character—into one great edifying and be
nignant throng, the Angel of Charity extends
bis wings; sanctifies the pastimes and plea
sures of the hour ,; refines, illuminates, ennobles
what might otherwise he sough, boisterous,friv
olous or idh?, and linking with rays of divinest
light and luster the living and the dead,
breathes into every Irish heart at least, the as
surance that they shall never be forgotten who
fall in a just cause, in vindication of laws that
are unimpeached and unimpeachable, and in
aOstainmcnt of a Government which, while it is
the least exacting, the most encouraging and
beneficent the world has Over known, [Enthu
siastic cheering.] This hi the lesson, the pur
pose, the inspiration we a :knowledge here ; and
hence —to repeat what I have already said—
this is a propitious hour, and this a consecrated
scene. [Renewed applause,] Peacefulness,
and joyousness, and glory—such asno home on
earth, however blessed confers, nor the most
affluent city in the fullneis of its gratitude and
grandeur can decree —before eternity to those
who fell, on that terrible! Sunday of July, in
the tempest which swept with flames; and beat
hack on a deluge of carnage and consternation
the army that had advanc ed to restore in an in
surgent State the supremacy of the national
authority. [Loud cheering.] Peacefulness,
and joyousness, and glory be to those who fell
in this great endeavor, wherever they may-have
been born, at whatever rltar they may have
worshipped, to whatever school of politics they.
may have belonged. [Load and prolonged
cheering.] Peacefulness and joyousness, and
glory, eternal and supreme, be to those who ven
turing here from Ireland—[bear, bear]—con
ceived in her womb, nourished at her breast,'
nurtured and emboldened; as her children only
are—went forth without I thought of home, or
reward, of danger, of any ties however dear, of
any compensation small or great, of any conse
quences, however despera e and fatal they might
be, to maintain in nntrs the. authority of the
Government to which, they swore allegiance, and
in the perpetuation Of which their interests, ns.
emigrants driven by devastating laws and prac
tices from their native soif, are vitally involved I
[Hoar, hear, and cheers.] As this prayer goes
forth, the scene before me seems to pass away.
Denso white clouds rise, from the earth and in
tercept it. Lightnings jsweep through those
clouds, and in the brightest sunshine that can
bless the earth, a tempest ojens which shale*
the forests ami the mountains with its thunders,
and floods the meadows with a rain that torus

to red their greenest blades of grass, [Sensa
tion.] .
Again the scone, changes. ,The storm has
ceased. The white clouds have Vanished. On
the glowing horizon the mountains of Virginia
blend their grand forms with a sky of speck
less bine, and, silent as the. pyramids of the
desert, overlook the wreck and ravages which
the exhausted storm bos left behind it. Near
er to me—their vast webs of emerald interwoven
with the golden skeins which tbe sun flings out
—in their restored freshness. and beauty, the
woods, where the storm most fiercely raged,
deepen and expand for miles., The grass of tbe
meadows grows green again, and tbe streams,
which had beep troubled and stained like them
pursue their old paths in peacefulness and pu
rity, as though no Sashing hooft and wheels, no
burning feet pressing in thousands to the
charge, no shot or shell-bad harrowed them.—
But on the silent fields which those noble
mountains overlook and- those deep groves shad
ow, 1 see many a strong and gallant soldier of
the 69th whom 1 knew and loved, and they lie
there in tbe rich sunshine discolored and cold
in death. [Hear, bear, and deep sensation.]
All of them were from Ireland, and as the tide
of life rushed out the lost thought that left their
hearts was for tbe liberty of Ireland, [Enthu
siastic cheering.] Prominent among them, stri
kingly noticeable by reason of his large, iron
frame, end the boldly chiseled features, on
which the impress of great strength of will and
intellect was softened by a constant play of hu
mor and tbe goodness and grand simplicity of
his heart—wrapped in his rough old overcoat,
with his sword crossed upon his breast, his
brow boldly uplifted as though he were still in
command, and the consciousness of having
done his duty slernly to the last, still animating
the Roman face—there lies James Haggerty
[immense cheering]—a braver * soldier than
whom the land of Sarsfield and Shields has not
produced, and whose name, worked in gold up

i But what of the cause in which oar conntry
j men fell that day 7 Was it urgent, was it just,
| was it sacred 7 Never was there a cause more
urgent, more just, more sacred, j [Hear, hear,
hear, and enthusiastic cheering.]' Tbe asser
tion of tbe national authority, derived, os it is,
from tbe free will and votes of a majority of tbe
citizens—[hear, hear] —tbe conservation in its
integrity of that magnificent expanse of coun
try over which a common Constitution has
.thrown its shield, and along the frontiers and
'at tbe gates of which a common treasury has
planted forts and custom-houses, and tbe flag
which no foreign hand, as yet, has questioned
with impunity—[hear, hear, bear,] —the en
forcement of the laws of Congress, the sworn
compact of the States, the inviolability of the
ballot-box, and the decisions that proceed from
it, tbe sancity of official oaths, tbe accountabil
ity of the public servants, the most precious
fruits of the Revolution, the claims of posteri
ty, the progress of democracy, its consolidation
and ascendancy, the glory of the Now World.
[Loud cries of hear, hear.] Behold the cause
in which those lives were offered up. [Tremen
dous cheering.]
Never, I repeat it, was there a cause more
sacred, nor one more just, nor onO more ur
gent. No cause more sacred, for it compre
hends all that has been considered most desira
ble, most valuable, most ennobling, to n po
litical society and humanity at large. No '
cause more just, far it involves no scheme of
conquest or subjugation, contemplates no dis- ’
franohisement of the citizen, excludes- the -idea ’
of provincialism and inferiority, aiming only ;
at the restoration of franchises, powers, and;
property, which were enjoyed by one people
and one republic, and which, to be-.tbe means
of happiness, fortune, and renown to; millions, '
must be exercised and held in common under
one code of national laws, one flag and one Ex
ecutive. No cause more urgent, for intrigues,
perfidies, armed tbe hatred and eupid- 1
ity of foreign courts assail it, and every re- 1
verse with which it is visited serves, as a pre- 1
text for the desertion of the ■coward, ithe mis- !
representation of the politician whose nation
is his pocket, the preferred compromises of nien
who, in the mime of pence, would capitulate to
treason and accept dishonor, encouraging the
designs of kings, and queens, and knaves, to 1
whom this great Commonwealth, with, alfrits
wondrous acquisitions and incalculable prom
ise, has been, until within tha last fewi weeks,
a source of envy, vexation, alarm, and discom
fiture, preventing, as it did, nobler scenes of
activity and progress than their estates could
show—sheltering and advancing the thousands
whom their rods and bayonets had swept be-. '
yond the sea, and,-like tbe mighty genius of 1
the oeearf confronting the shin of Vasco di i
Gama, uprising here to repel the intrusion
which would establish on the seas and islands ;
of the New World - the crowned monopolies ■
and disabling domination of the Old. [Loud
and enthusiastic cheering.] Will the Irishmen
of New-York stand by this call—[enthusiastic i
and vehement cries of “We will, we ’will"]

despite of all the sacrifices it may coat,Respite
of all the bereavements and abiding gloom it

succor which the festivities of this day have
taken place. [Load and protracted cheeks, and
renewed cries of “ We' will.”] For my part, I
ask no Irishman to do that which I myself am
not prepared to do. {Tremendous applause.]

1 [Hear, hear, hear.] The integrity of the na

the inviolability of that tranquil system of elec

can have legitimacy, consistency, and force—
these considerations are far dearer to me, and
I claim them to be of far more vital conse

or the liberty to conspire. [lmmense applanse.]
Such liberties must succumb to the demands of
the crisis, the public safety, the (helpline and
1 efficacy of the army, and the attitude of revolt. .

laws, the police, the courts, the proprieties and
interests of the community, let them have full
swing in the days of peace. . Such days have
their peculiar sanctities—more than this, they
