FkM.ow Citokns : Wljen can Iho war
policy ol Mr. Lincoln restore the decoded
Slnles to tha Union 1 L"Nf' " Wo finil,
in Ilia first plncofc nn ttity eiaiuto book yti
net o( confiscation, Iho effect nl whfgh is to
tljprtvo Hie peoplo of iho Southern S.nlos,
wiihout rnletence to tlio question of their
ioynhy or disloyally io tho Union, of their
ptopetiy. Every man in the South who has
I) ton directly or indirectly, voluntarily or
Involuntarily, nt nny time engaged in Iho
rrtielliou, Is by force ol this statute ol con
fiscation, rotibpd entirely of hi ptopohy.
A word now Us to the right of Congress
t" pns sweeping nrl of confiscation. It
i u luuntiar principle to lawyoM.ttlld i! iu l t
I ssatih's da to most people, llint tho
,cr. .dillGn nt ""aTftSiancu on tho part of tho
penplilft tllo government is protection by
lie,' government ul Ihe people, if. tho gov
eminent lnil to protect icq in my ojlcgiatico
to it, it has no right to demand that alle
giance I. I tni'l another government Inau
gurated In opposition to tho government nf
the Uniieit States, a govumment defatto,
winch has powpr over rri'y person and prop
oily, which demands my nllegiitice, and
nt) lawful government fails to protect mo
i i allegiance to It, the latter has no right to
dcmatidsneh allegiance ; and lor the tinio
being, for so long it timo us my letjilimaio
government fuils to protect mo la my nile
ui.ir.ee to it, I am absolved from ilia bond.
That is an elementary principle. Apply it
to the rebulliun. We were told, and cor
roctly told in tho early day nf this wnr,
thai there was an extensive Union snuti
mont at tho South. Wo vrura told that in
many sections of tho South largo majorities
of 'he population Were still faithful to the
Union ol their fathers. W'c nra not told so
now, But hero tvus a government imme
diately over them which had Iho power to
compel Iheir obedience to it. The govern
mcnt of the United States, their" legitimate
govercnietit, had no power to protect them
Thra was the situation of ttio Southern
people ulter tho organization of the Cohlod
eraie government. The government of tho
United Slates had not tho power to protect
the Union pcoplo of the South in fidelity to
tho Union. They must do qno of two things:
they most cither stand faithful to thtir legit
imalo government, or go over to this oppo.
filion hoverumont established in their own
States; and according to the principle to
which 1 advened a moment since, had they
not for the timo being, in viow of tho fail
ure of the government of tho United Stales
to protect them, a right to render a forced,
if you please, an Involuntary allegiance, to
the Confederal government ? At all events
they were placed in that position, and while
thty were so situated tho government of
the United Stales, forgetful of its obligation
to protect the Union citizens of the South,
eiscls a sweeping tdatute of confiscation
depriving thorn ol all their properly.
Is, that tho way to bring back- the people,
of the seceded Slates to their fidelity to it: d
Union ? They may well reply to the gov
ernment officials, "wu were willing to be
faithful to the government of tho United
Slates, but you failed to protect us in alle
giance toil ; what could we do? we were
torced to render a reluctant allegiance to
Iho Confederate government ; and then yon
passed an act which deprives us of our
properly if we come back." In what posi
tion are tho loyal people of tho South plac
ed 1 If they come back to the Union, they
come back naked as they came into the
world. Is that the way to create a loyal
sentiment in the South ? Is that the way to
induce tho people ol the South to come
back to their fidelity to tho Union? Tho
federal government says to them ''como
back, but come back naked as you camii
into Iho w'otld" !
Again, fellow citizens, a Republican Con
gress has enacted another staiuio, a stat
ute which disqualifies every man of tho
South who lias beon engaged, however re
luctantly, ill the support of the confederate
government, from holding any office or be
ing represented in the federal government.
Ktery man who has been compelled to ren
der an unwilling support to that confederate
government is henceforth and forever dis
qualified from holding any office of trust
honor or profit under the government ol the
United States'. This government says tn
them ,"corne back: but if yon do, you come
back not only robbed ol your properly, but
you came b3ck as serfs.as vassals, as slaves
you have no right to bu represented in the
councils of tho nation. "
Aye, and there is another statula of dis
qualification. Even tf the people of the
South should to-morrow give ir. Iheir adhe
sion to the federal government and under
take id tend members to represent them in
the House of Representatives and Senate of
the United Stales, where could they find u
man in their midst who could go into eilher
body and take the required oath that ho
had 'never at any timo been engaged direct
ly or indirectly in support ol this rebellion 1
And it a man cannot lako that oath, he is
not competent to hold a seal there. .
I advert to these things, fellow citizens,
wnli a view to call your attention to the
("rill of, the wholo policy of tho Republican
party with reference to the South, lor they
claim, you know, that their object is to re
More life Union, that they aro lite Union par
ty ; and yet every mensuro ol theirs from
the. commencement ol this administration
has been to drive nfl and. repel the South
from Ihe Union. Do yon believe, then, that
they want tins Union restored as it was ?
Oh, no. Indeed they now acknowledge
that they do not want the Union as it wa
Nay more 1 believe that all the loader ot
the Republican party, and perhaps tho fol
lowers too, to day admit and declare thai
they will not have the Union ns it win.
What! not have tho Union as it was ! not
have the glorious Union that our fathers
made lor ns ! Fellow citizens, that Union
is good enough for me; it is good enough
for you ; It is good enough for them. Under
that Union, the country waxed great and
prosperous. We need no belter Union than
that which our fathers made for us.
Hut in addition to the measures to which
I have called your attention there is the
universal emancipation proclamation I
cannot call it a law, though it is ono o Mr.
Lincoln's statutes. Its effect, I need not
occupy your time in discussing. It is in
tho nature of a confiscation statute, and in
addition to that feature it pledges the whole
power of the army and navy of tho United
Mates, not for the restoration of the Union ,
but for tho putting down of this institution
of the South.
Besides this, thero is also Mr. Lincoln's
celebrated Amnesty proclamation in which
he says to the people of the South "if you
chooso to lako an oath to support my eman
cipation proclamation and all other eman
cipation proclamations that I may think
proper to issue and all tho Jaws of Congress
in regard to slavery, you may como back
into the Union, and when one-tenth of your
number in an) State shall have taken this
so called 'iron-clad' oath, they shall be
, clothed with tho power to govern tho oth
or nina-lenthe ; then you may organizo u
Slulo government," And this is taid lobe
for the purpose of aiding the people of tho
South in inaugurating republican govern
ments in Iheir several Stales ! Wo havo
been taught in time past that a republican
government was ono in which the people
ruled themselves, not one in which n cer
tain favored class, composed of ono tenth,
one-filth, one-fourth, or any fractional part
ehould be tel up over Iho head of tha peo
ple, but in which Iho people woro tholr own
rulers, tholf own governor.
Now, fellow cii'iznni, as men of common
r-ctiso, for 1 wish tn talk to you ns such, can
wo over. in viqvv of these measures, in
view ol this peculiar war nolicv nl dm
prosohl mlmlnithtion, oxpuel tho people
oi uiu ouuwi io snumn t ii tury como
back, they must not only como back robbed
of their property, utierly nak'od. but di
qualified ns enizohs,- rendered Incapable of
noiuing any oince ir ot leing represented
Iu tho cmiiici.rt oltho nation, mure serfs.
i Willi Ihe possibility ut eat in addition to
I all th's til having n favored fraction of nit-
I principled scoundrels who are willing to
I take any oath , no matter what, set up oyer
' their hands ns their rulers. Is that the kind
t of policy which will ever succeed in bring-
lug back tho seceded Slates lo Iho Union ?
Cuu it succeed ? Every mini of common
sense who Is not so utterly blinded anil
lnni'doned bv partizm prejudice its to bo
unable lo fee the truth, must admit that it
is simply impossible lo bring them back by
tiny such po'icy.
I Then, lelloiv citizens, how long must we
J ol the north submit to a war policy of this
sort ? Where, and what is the end to be ?
I'd you bellure that Ihe people nf I lie north
aro prepared to accept a President chosen
I II y bogus oleclors from General Rank' gov
urumoiil in Louisiana? I name ilia ns a
samplo of Ihe ret of tho hocus Stales Jut
1 loolt ut that government tor u moment.
What is it ? One year ngo wu hail pnsses
, Moil ol a largo suction ot ilie s ale ol f.onisi
r.na, along tlio Mississippi Ironi New Or
leans up not perhapj a laite section as
i compared With iho wholo State ; but a con
siderable portion of tint State was in the
possession and under tho control nl tho
, Federal iritis. To-day wu have possession
; of the city of New Orleans and of a lew
parishes adjoimuu and along the border of
i the rivur lor :i short distance above the city;
; and (hat is all ol Louisiana we have got.
Is thp.l small, trilling section of Louisiana to
t furnish aSi.ne government, lo choose Pres.
idential electors lo lake part in Iho selection
cf a President for you and lor me and for
the people of the United Stales? Will tho
i people submit to it ? Fellow citizens, u
i year ago at Chicago, on nn occasion ol a
liltlu reign of terror they happened lo havo
i there, Air. Senator Trumbull said, "tho same
i chtdice that we Republican') are presuming
lo tho lips of the Democrats to-day, they
' ihay present to oufrs to morrow," That was
! tfie language ol the Republican Senator
Trumbull, who stood trembling in his boo!.
when he made tho remark. In limes like
! these, revolutions in public opinion aro
sometimes frequent and violent. Thero is
j u limit somewhere lo tho people's forbear-
once ; and the time may come aye, fellow
I citizen", 1 eo the time coming when wn
may be permitted to preiit the same dial
icii to their hps that they have been hold
' iug to our' lor three years past. Hut I trust
i we shall not do it in ihe same way not by
the employment ol ihe ga not by 6triking
down the Ilabaii Corpus ; not by the lerroM
ot arrest without warrant, imprisonment
without crime, and political and social pro
scription for opinion's fake not by sur
rounding them with bao spies and malig
nant informers , not by stationing bodies of
armed men in peacelul communities, and
holding before the Iriglitcuud imaginations of
the people ghastly pictures nf dark liaMiles;
not by sotting up over their heads an arbi
trary and irresponsible nepotism. No !
No 1 1 see Ihe lime al hand when wo may
heap coals of fire upon their head by re
turning good to them for their malignant
evil tn us, thus leaching them a lesson
that will be useful to them when the coun
try shall again bo prosperous and happy.

Fellow Citn : " Union-aver" !
" Union savers "1 Democrats, look around
yon among this crowd and as yuu point to
a Republican here, and llitre, uiui there,
recollect that lor. years ago. eight year a,'o,
Iwur year.i ago, thai Republican was scorn
fully pointing hi finger at ou and denoun
cing you a a " Union-saver" ! Arid why
was this epithet so scornfully applied lo all
Democrats who dared in advocaie the prin
ciples of the Democratic party 1 Thoy Ad
vocated the principles ot iti.it party as loun
ded and based upon the Constitution of ihe
United States, the bond of ihi- Union ; and
it was for this reason and this alone that wo
were then pointed at and hissed down as
"Union-savors". When wo talked to thorn
about the danger of producing a disruption
ol the Union by the adoption ol thu doc
trines'which they advocated, ihoy said to
us, "ihe South cannot be kicked out of the
Union; let them no off, what do wo want with
the South''? This was the language ol Re
publicanism in its earliest days.
To-night tho sama individual without n
particle ol change of principle or hone-ty,
are pointing at n as "Copperheads," "Dis
unionist, " Sympathizers with Secession,"
"Traitor? to our Country''. A nd why? He
cause wo bland hero now advocating tha
same principles which wo advocated tun,
eight, six, four years agn, the principles of
the Constitution ol the United Slates hieh
U tho bond nf tho Union, tho only bond
that holds together theo State and forms
us a Pttiinn. a-k them to point to a sinulti
principle of the Democratic party to-day
that was not advocated by us when we
were sligmatizod as 'Union-savers". L!t
them point to a single characteristic of our
party which has been changed in that time.
Why men aro we now stigmatized as "Cop
pwheadn" and "Iruitois" and "di.iuiiinnisls"
imd ''sympathizers with secession and re
bellion"? We sympathize with robellion !
tvo who daring our whole lives nnd tfur
forefathers belore us a Democrats have
over advocated u strict and rigid adherence
to the Constitution of thu United States in
all iis parts, in nil its principle!. Wo dts
uriionisis! wo who have denounced section
alism ot trvery character and in every lorrti,
sectionalism of thu North and sectional
ism of the South, we who havo proclaim
ed that Abolition and Secession were twin
brothers, we who havo Inught them boili
from tho days of J.icknn down io litis time,
we disnnionlsts 1 Whore ihe man who
in day light daro lit er such a charge against
hi fellow citizen whom ho has kniwii dur
ir.g this wholo perioJ and whom ho has
denounced for l)ese very things? If each
n man does not blush, it is becauso he has
no shame,
Tellow citizons, why are wo met hero
to-night? Wo have not mot here to encour
age rebellion ; we havo not met here to ad
vocate secession , wo have not met here
to do anything against the interests of this
Union. No man entertains such a suspi
cion ; and the man who utters such a charge
does not believe it nnd knows that he utters
lalsehood when ho fays it. We have met
hete to-night for tho purpose of renewing
our vows of fidelity In thn Constitution and
I the Union that Constitution which pheds
its protecting power ovdr every State in this
Union and under which ovory man in every
Stale clainiB his rights as a citizen of the
United Slate.
I nm nol going to abuse Jeff, Davis. I
need not occupy your time and waste my
own breath in abusing that man who is no
well ubused by Republicans. Whenever
J 11 . Davis conies to be a candidate in these
Unitod States for the 'residency or any
other offioo, I shall oppose him and I shall
then alinse him, nnd I shall do it on the
vory same principle nr.d lor tho very sarnu
reason mat 1 oppose thu election oi Abra
ham Lincoln ; because Jellurson Davis is
a secessionist nnd disunionist. anil Abraham '
Lincoln Is an advocate ol tho doctrine of '
secession and n disunionist in practice,
Thai is iho reason why I opposd him nnd j
why you hhvo mot here io-nighi,td oppose
hlir), It is bocauso wo do not brtfieve this
government is salo in his hands, because '.
wo do not believe il ran bo conducieJ nnd 1
uiltuitiisiered according to the principles !
which he has promulgated nt.d practised I
during the last lour years. Thero Is not a :
single out o! Abraham Lincoln Hint , il you 1
irace h in ns leginruBiu consequences, is
calculated to pmmme the interests nl this
Union. I defy any Republican who hoars
me tn como here on tin- siund mid point Iu
one of the characteristic morisiiros nf his
administration that, traced to its final results
ntid finnl issues, is calculated to promote
the interests nl this country.
We were told Idur jt-iirsiign that n change
was u.iined. Ucll, we liae had a change. :
Iho ct Kti'iices ol it ate nil iibmil us ami

nnd the rnor.i I power of that adjudication ol

The candidates before you for your sul.

his name is Unelets Mercur I think they '
said hi mother used to call him, (lauah

of yon by reputation II is not uocenry
that I shou'd say any thins io j;..i rfspeeT.
ing Iti3 character. You know that lor ihiriy
years al least Cot. Piollei has (stood in llrad- i
lord county as tho monument ol ihe Deuioc- ,
racy nl that county. ilt has bared his
bosom to tlio storm; ho has received ihe 1
arrows n- thu Opposition, under whatever
name they have been called and by whom
soever llioy have been directed. Judge
Wilmol us Hie luader nl iho Abolition party
ol that county for year has arrayed himself
iigainst Col. Piollet w.lh all the power nf
hi mind and Ins body and nis party, hut
Col. Piollet has stood firm us h ilemocrat;
he p'.anied himself iu early years upon tho
Constitution as received mid expounded
and practised by tho Democratic Fathers
and by the Democratic party during inn
whole couro of our couuiry's liMory; and
ho has remained firm and immovable upnn
that rock Never for ono instant uvuu in
the darkest hour 'in that cotiniy or iu Ihe
country has Col. Wiollet quailed belore the
enemy. Whatever they may churgo him
with, whatever they may say ngaint him,
there is no uno who has the hardihood to
come up and say that hu is not a bold,
daring, linnest, outspoken man, otto who
first determines what is right, uud having
settled lliai'qnesiinn in his own mind, darn
do whatever Ins judgmout diciates should
be done to accomplish the rijhi. We want
jlist such n man iu Congress miwr. Wu

shall have taken upon himtdll the exocutivd
powers of this govornmtnt ; wo shall want
that clns of men tn uphold his hands us
Anton nr.d llur did tho hands of Moses.
All I know of Judge Mercur Is that he Is
.Inilgn nl the Courts of llrudlord county nnd
Republican candidate for Congress, It Is
suinciout for inn lo know that ns the Repub
lican caiidiJnto lor Congress lo represent
this Dis.rict, he is necessarily the embodl
meiii, the personification of the principles
of that party; nnd I know thai Ihoso prinKli

community, your inlercsts ns individuals,
your business Inlcrests, or your interests as

Col Piollet is nn uu'ricntinrisl, an iiilelll
g?iil man, ono who understands his own
interests, one whn by his associations, by
his fiahlis of though-!, and by his pursuits
hi lite is identified ivith the great mass of

for the other candidate to ho sri identified
with your Iniersis The position ho now
occupies, the position ho has occupied all
his (no timo prevents it. , .
Which will you choose? Will you

Vote lor the pro'egi ol David Wllirint to bh

Abuse never convinced any man. If it

Republican orators and editors would have

of Abraham Lincoln. (Laughter.) Hut, as
I say, abuse will not convince men. Men,
and especially free- man, wore not made to
be dealt with in that way and io bo con
vinced by that kind ol m.-tromentality. Go

AT Till". C01IUT HOUSE,
HLOOMSIIUHG, FRIDAY EVENING,
SEPI" 3d, I8G4.
Fel'uW Cilsem of my A'l.'ft't County ;
In the month of Augdst I, three years
ago and idiortly aflir the outbreak of thn
war,' 1 returned horhe from a foreign coun
try. I hud resided for some time in one of
the Spanish American Republics, where
from the frequent recurrence ol revolutions,
rights of property and person are insecure,
nnd great social as well as political evils
have n chronic existence. And il had been
my pride, while absent, lo contra-t Ihe con
dition ol those countries with our own
the siicci'M of free institutions hero with
fbcMr failure there and to draw a conclu
sion therefrom highly favorable to onr
countrymen.
I landed at tho port of New York, the
elite' i-i'y of the S'ate of which William
H Seward is u citizen and the commercial
llieltopolit nf loe United Stales. Ami I
found my countrymen bugagrll in civil
war .r'titid that they hnd fnrgotien Ihe in
striic'i:.ii so impiessively mveti them by
Washington nod Jackson ugcinst sectional
ism Mnl sectional putties ; that they had fol

resort io battle ami to war for the solution
of their b. ,"iiul disputes.
For my leeliug-on that occasion I have no
adeq".ite hnaua :e,nor would I recall llieiu
to nun I ewpi nr an instruetivn purpose.
Heco.iiiii : acquainted with the condition of
pubiie afl.rrs casting an anxious glancb
ovoi i!ie , mire country :i il pre-en ed it
sell !) in y ob.-eiv.nioii I fell, as dnnblles
you i II at that tune, deeply troubled nod
liutiiilia'ed. The Morm, long foretold as
the iciiili i.f sectional agitation, had come
in n l its i try an I power ; stoutest heart.'

laws wninh con.rol thri consequences of
par ieulur events, was, equally v'i'h others,
unable to cntnpreheud the exteat or ilufrf
linn ol i' ii great conflict.
Tne first battle of Hull R un had just been
foujltl an. I Init.atid tho Pre-idum hud been
obliged to chll to his aid iho patriot chief
tai.i who had te-ened West Vitginia Irom
Ih e Ltrrisp of s.'eessiou, and commit io him
th del.'i'en of the Cap'tal and iho reors

one who rniiie fr"uly to the -e.eno, with
pur-i i-,1 uiiere-t a- eiiiz'ti in,lheconr-o
di i ft-Meter of pubbe events.
Hi' ,:u'io'i,g all the thoughts which the I.
found lidgment iu mv iniu 1, IhnSe awaken
eJ by u'coitnt- (it arbiiniiy arrests in ihe
northern .tut"- ore rn.M j inulul. Order

by ihe party of ihe lulmiui-trat ion through
out the connliy, and most ab-urd, frivo-Imi-
and impudent reasons were held
siiHiciem lor iheir vindication. That th e"e
afresls should lako place in know n violn
liou oftliolaws and be sustained and oven
applauded by ninny, was featful evidence
uf our uiiliiiioss for self government. It
was nlo proof of a danger, qu'no new to
ns, and so incredible thai it has not oven yet
been received as real by many sincere
men among tho friends of power thn dan
ger of a permanent lo-s of liberty by our
peojile and a change, ultimately, in their
lorm of government.
Yes! I was lorued to admit tlio unwel
comu furl that !, in common with my
fellow -citii'.ens, bold all my political rights
and particularly tho right of personal lib
erty, not tinder thn established laws ol
tho land, but subject to a ttlegmphh dt's
patch fiom Simon Cameron!
'f liis wns the condition lo which Amer
ican freemen were degraded at that lime,
when I loui'.d Abraham Lincoln President,
William H. Seward Secrelary of Slate
(with his convenient bell at hand,) ami
Simon Cameron Secrelary at War found
these men filling places that had been
filled by Washington, by Madison, by
Monroe and by many worthies of whoso
names an hnnorablo record will be held by
history forever.
Nor could I avoid reflecting that a little
way north, beyond the limits of tho free
United States nnd under the sovereignty of
tho Hritish Queen, thero obtained as there'
has long obtalnod throughout the Hritish
empire, tho absolute and unquestioned do
minion ol law, In fact Lord Pm Mtrtsiotf,
then, ns now, first Minister of Iho Crown,
could not havo Issuod nn order for thenr
rest of tho humblest subject In tho Dnllsh
dominions, or directed rnsntanco to a writ
of habeas curptii issuing from nny Court, col
onial or Itnperinl, without being forthwith
hurled Irom power and having his proud
nnmo sliimpoll iVitlf bnduring infamy anil
disgrace.
Such wns iho conlras'. prosonleil betweon
the administration of government tn this
country and its administration under a mon
nrchinl p'nwor. In the ono case n rule of
law, and iu tho other enso n rule of men.
lit the one, security of privato rights nnd
prompt punishment fur iheir invnulon ; in
tho other, insecurity of thoso rights and to
their invader, impunity. The contrast was
one of humiliation to nn American, but
that conlr.nl yet exists. It has not disap
peared. On tho contrary iis lines nn J shad
ows lihvu steadily grown deeper and more
strongly marked in this day,
Gentlemen ; I made up my mind, at tile
lime referred to, upon Ihis whole busiuoss :
nnd my conclusion was, that I would sub
mit lo n system of arbitrary gotertimont in
this country ; I would submit In hold my
rights as u citizen of tho United States sub
ject to the mere pleasure ol power, only so
long ns I could not prevent it ; nnd thru at
tho earliest posiblo moment I would unite
with thoso of my fellow countrymen who
should be like minded with itiysSII. to tea
cue our government fiom Iho control ol
arbitrary principles and restore It to its for
mer course of just administration.
Thai lime has now come, and (or tins
among oilier reasons, I st anil before mt in
night nn earliest advocate uf the election of
General McClki.i.an ns Prosideul ol Ihe
United Slates. Hut i! will bo most conve

liberty ol Ihu cilizen iu connection with
o'her questions involved in the election ;
thus obtaining complui eness of view and
certainty of com iciion, upon i'io who'e isuo
before us.
Now what do wo" desire ? What are the
capital or chief objects upnn which our
nlb.-nliou may bo fixed al ihis time .' Let
us gel u lilllu outside Iho circle cl passion

For nothing eripes the power nl tho
" earth storm," which moves Inrwurd with
universal effect nnd irresistibly, iu iis
course of destruction.
Now Gentlemen, ill onr present situation
of great embarrassment and penl. when we
are bewildered and alarmed by what is o'c
cnrrlug around ns, when il appears impos
sible lo go back and nnnlo to go Ijrward,
and onr hear are troubled and ti'mo-t lad

we can look and gain composure and eoofi.
donee Irom iheir con'emplalioii In ennsid

we may leol 'ih'.'r iuuhly ii'ssnred mat a snfii
and plain putli will open before, us in
which wo need bu; walk to insure our
speedy deliverance from d ingp'r.
Let us withhold onr eyes Irom riljecu on
either baud which would divert our ir'en
lion and hinder or prevent us Irom securing
our uniioiial salvation at the earliest possi
ble mnmeiil. Let ns ft c our eyes upon
Union, LmKim, and Pkack, ns our capiial
objects and the things to be nltained lo ;
not at iho end n! long wars, not by by-rouds
of emancipation not by plundering lnila
populations, not b) tin iron rule nf lawless
power under pleR ol neccssiiy, nor by tho
aid nor upon tho policy of fanatics and sel
fish and brutal men ; but (brcclly, speedily,
honestly; by the union of just men upon a
policy at once sure, sensible and magnum
mou.
Turn youjvelves wholly away from thesu
miserable disputes about '' loyally", about
what your neighbor shall bu called end
vi hut ho shall call yon, and look to thoso
great objucls which I havo mentioned and
to iho appropriate means for securing them.
They are the capital objects y desire i for
which tho hoarts of ihe people should yearn,
and to attain diem not one but all of them
every mini's nfm should be lilted and ev.
ery man's mouth opened.
Now what is proposed in the election of
Gen. UhtihciK II. McCi.ki.i.am and in the ele
vntiou to power along with him nf the or
ganization or party with which ho i identi
fied ? We desire lo obtain tho very objects
just named' which combine everything ot
excellence and of blessing which Ihe public
heart nt this time can desire.
In thu first place, by Gen. McClrllun's
election we seek to fostore the Union which
was broken in consequence of the elevation
of the existing Administration lo power.
That Administration has failed lo restoro
