EON. WLI4II D. NORTIIEND,
Of SALIM, MASS.,
Alt Union, Irockiy—Evrning, Oct 10, 1804.
FELLOW CII{IZENS :—I rise .to lift my
voice, while ye I' may, fbr the Itnion.—
Not the Union bf Russia and bleeding Pol.
<ald, not the Union of -Austria and half
sali,ugated ElUngary—not the Union of
En - tdautl and down -trodden Ireland—not
the mockery of t a Un ion of two great people
rbe one dragged, sullen and revengeful at
the triumphant, car of .the other conquer
ing nation.; I rise to utter a word of trib•
rite to the American Union ; to the Union
which Washington found and Washington
left; to that: Uriion which was planted in
the wilderness, which germinated, and
had its inspiration during the century and
a half when we were colonies, which was
cemented (and sanctified) by the blood of
the Revolution, and under which we have
enjoyed prosperity such as was vouchsafed
to no ether nation. For that Union, has
'el mutual 'respect and forbearance,
lam to speak. Compromise was the tial
atnan of the Union.' Our.fathers built
their superstructure upon compromise.—
Cos3promise was the corner-stone; com-•
promise was the foundation ; compromise
vas the walls and compromise was the
rafters. If was that people in different
localities, enjoying the rights and privileg
es necessary ,to them, were willing to con
ceile to others in :different sections the
rights which pertain to them and their in
tereats. 'lt was this spirit which created
the Union and the Constitution strength
ened and intensified it. Tho.Coustitution
41 not create the, Union ; it was only the
golden band that encircled it—a recogni
tion of it, making it more intelligible to
those who were to come afterwards. It
Ala reducing the principles of the Union
to philosophy. And so perfectly was that
work accomplished that from the time of
the scloptiim of the Constitution down to
the present time there has been no man,
North or South, t Ist, or West, who has
complained that he in his State or his seci
two did not haie sufficient rights given
to it by that instrument. I mean that
with all the experience and vicissitudes of
the lost four years there is no man who
has complained that the rights given by
that instrument were not ample for every
man and every State and every section.—
No man connected with the rebellion has ,
ever complained that the rights defined
:a that great instrument were not suftic
lent for hiln, and further, there is no man
in the South whodias ever up to this hour
Objected to it he great principles of self-gov
ernment, as enunciated in the Constitu
tion. I speck thus plAinly, because there
ore delusiods - upon the subject; because
thou) who. disagree :with us have undertak
es the issue before us. Then,
if there hash been no quesiion as regards
the rig its eirauciated in ttfe Constitution,
what tiave these difficulties arisen from ?
l'ar.y have arisen because !the guarantees
of the Constitution were nbt sufficient for
the dty in which we live. Those gnaran.
tees were sufficient, morally and legally,-
tO this people remained true to the
principles of union uponwhich the Gov
ernment was based ; so long as they heed
the injunctions of Washington and did
.tot interfere with the rights of the sePar
ste sovereigutiei, solsse the guarantees
*lre eufficient. :But stlien in an evil hour
-the demon of fanaticisim was let loose here
at the North and, an t is People at the North
*rte ealled.Upun to thate the people of
the South, fioni that moment the guar-
emcee have been insufficient. And
when that party, was able to elect:a sec

iome - cause for rebellion. I know that
that language had not been used before it
would be oonsidrred as treasonable lan
guage, but I : use the langpage which Geo.
Boutwell, a ItepubUo'emb.er of Con
gress, uttered a week since. He said-the
rebels had some cause for their rebellion,
and I /uppose that one may follow such
loyal example. What was that cause?
It was from the apprehension, u Abra
ham Lincoln ! cell stated in his inaug
ural address, that the incoming Adminis
tration intended to• interfere with the
Constitutional rights of- the people of the
Southern States. It is not material-wheth
er that was their
that
.or net; it i•
enough to know that there wu a• wide
spread, deep apprehension through the
South thati they intended to break over
the guarantees of the Constitution, and in
terfere by power with the rights of the
people of the Southern States. There were
nen Sotitii - and North who saw the danger
at it approached. The noblest patriots of
the land lifted their voices
L and called up
on the dominant party in Congress to of
fer new guarantees. There were men all
over the country who joined in a memoik-
ial to Congress to — pass it hat were known
as the Crittenden resolutions. These were
resolves not conceding rights that were
not given by the Constitution; but giving
to those rights new and additional-pavan
tees. What was the result 1- That party.
elated and exultant with success, refused
to listen to 'the conservative people of the
Country, end refused to utter a word to re
lieve the apprehensions which they knew
existed, and which they knew if not re
lieved, must result fa civil war. Thus the
responsiblity was upon those men in Con
gress, a- responsibility which they never
can be relieved of. They were, warned,
but they preferred the Radices of war and'
dissolution to giving, up their party
platform. And now if
,there is no
man ' North or South, who objects to
the rights as enunciated in thiCorultitu•
Lion if every man. North and South,.is
satisfied with the rights therein declared.
what reason is that* that we cannot have a
Union in the' future with the Alonsent of
this whole people? I say with -the
greatest , confidence that I believe this
Union can be- restored with every
right to every section and .'every 'State en
unciated in the Constitution without con 7
oeding an additional right by - giving
additional guarantees for these_ rights.
S long as the people of one section
have the power to
_interfere with the
rights of another section, there can be
no permanent peace.. What would Penn
sylvania have done if the South had been
the stronger section and an organisation
had arisen there .and obtained control Of
the National Government for the.purposti
of forcing the peotinsylvania to
permit the' holding of Alves in the Key
stone State? Whit would she have done
if, in consequence of it, there had trisenia
rebellion in her midst, and then the Gen
eral Government determined that the State
should not continue in the Union without
she would so change her Constitution as to
permit. the holding of slaves here? I
think some Republicans at least would
have - had the cannon fever in the heart
about that time. As a result of the re
fusal of the conoiliation, civil war ensued•
which has been continue! with terrible
sacrifices, to the present time and all •of
our duties at this time arise out of the
struggle in which we are involved, and it I
will be for each individual who will exer
cise the elective franchise to select one of
.
the two candidates that have been placed
before the American people for their votes
at the next-election. There was assembled
in Baltimore - in June last a' Convention
profeeling to represent the Republican
party Of the country, but I will say here,
that it there is ,a Republican preeent I
think! he will agree with_ me, 'when. I . 14
that that was not a Convention which rep
resented the masses of the Republican .
party. I , ft was a Convention got up and
controlled by the office-holders and con
tractors of -the-country,' independent of
the masses, even of their own
That convention, is a fore-gone con
clusion, was an- Unanimous
"way as it must be from the way in
w_hich it was conducted. The nominations
of that convention were presented to the
party„..tor their ratification, but I wiskto_
ask tills audience where in the land, where
in Pennsylvania, has there been a ratifi
cation meeting to ratify the nomination
Of the Baltimore Convention Instead of
a ratification by the party, their most ear
nest andderoted Mitt are dlsearalbirthe
nominations which that Convention made.
But the great question is upon the princi
ples which they enunciated, and what are
the American people to 'look for if that
nominee shall be elected President for the
next four years. Ido not propose, to read
from their. platform.—There is other nvi
del*. more significant than the 'mere
enunciation of a platform. Yon recollect
that at a meeting in Philadelphia -in Au
gust last, AbrahamLincolti = iaid that this
war was entimentied fora pnrPrisii; It wu
being proseculed for purpose, and he.
prayed to Gad that it mighthn continued
for that purpose, if it I took three years
longer. The Chairman' of the Military
Committee of Congress, a man who of all
men is entitled to speak for that party,
said a few evenings ago, that our policy in
the future was to be war and only
There can be no misunderstanding, no
-r-
misconception of the platform upon which
they go before the 'people of the country
and, solicit their votes..
• Their platform is war and only war, and
every man with the solemnity ,of his
dales upo* him who delimit; his vote for
Abraham Lincobt in November, deposits
there a decision for war and only war.--
And lot no man in November declare fdr
war'- and only war, and tbsin afterwards
for four years find any fault with any per.
copal inconvenience that may oome to him
from that policy. What does that mean f

I which ire have paired out our blood free
ly ; we have had aerates in greater num
bers than, any modern ignition hashed; we
have ha d armies composed of of noblest
and best citisons until the pecrple refused
to...volunteer ; and now the President of
the United States says to thekeople of the
United States'or to the Connie -of . the
United States, the people have furnished
for my armies from-their midst two mil;
lions of citizens ; I find now that it is ut
terly impossible for me to obtain any more
soldiers bb volzinteering. He then pro.
posed in writing that Congress should pass
a conscription sot, which should strike out
substitution, so that any man whose name
was drawn must go to the war for one or
three . years. , This is what Abraham Lin
coln proposed to the Congress of the
United States; but that Congress laving,
as we believe,' a little regard to the elec.
tion that was coming did pus a law strik
ing out commutation, but did not - btrilm
out Substitution. But it the President Is
re-elected end men enough are not obtain
ed for the next year, then to the Congress
which assembles in December, Abraham
Lincoln's proposition will be again made,
sad a willing Congress will strike out sub
stitution, or as a prominent republican
member of Congress recently said : to me,
I have no doubt the next Congress will
extend the conscription -sot to people of
the age of fifty'. My reply to him was
that if he 'was going to conduct shower up
on the present policyhe might as well
„put it ataeventy-five to begin with. Then
we are to have war and only war,
.and I
want to tisk yon in the first place, whether
we have any reason to expect that after
this season we shall meet the rebels in less
force than we have before. The first, the
second and the third year we predicted
that the rebels were etheusted, and In
each campaign they hare come up as'
strong as in those that preceded it.. As to
exhaustion of means, is it possible that
there Oen be exhaustion in a people in
habiting a country larger than that of
Great Britain, ?Prance, Austria and Prus
sia combined? It is preposterous to think
about exhaustion ; and In regar d to the
lack of men, the statistics show that the
rebels have hid in their ranks no larger
number is - proportion to the population,
than we have had in our army. They
have poiver an opportunity of ooncentrs
iion, and with, an army two thirds of our
own they have been able to meet us eyery
where with at least equal force: What
opportunity have we for meeting theni in
greater force or with greater means than
before. if the draftis not enforced r will
ask if the men now sent to -I the army, whom
the oonespondent of a leading Republican
journal calls blacklegs and niggers, can
do more than American citizens can do—.
more than our brave sons at& leredues
have d Then it comes to this. It Is
-"War and only war," and citizens have got
to be taken to•the war' whether they - will
or whether they will not,' and I don't find
any Republican that is more ready, to go
to the war than I am. They have bled
freely out of their pockets, and sent ka
nicks- and contrabands, but they don't
want to go themselves. 'lf this war is to
be continued as a war of subjugation, the
child isn't_ born today that- will see the
end of it. I mean to say that eight-mil
lions of Aniericans cannot be subjugated
till the last man is cut down. And this is
the "war and only war" that Henry Wil
ion add President Lincoln - ask you to ao
knowledge and vote for in November.
The wend has hadsonse experience in
subjugation, 'some centuries ago. Philip
It of Spain,"attempted to conquer the lit
tie -Netherlends and force upon them a re
ligion that was distastftil to them. With
all the power of Spain,4 in her palmist
days, he carried that war on for forty
jeans, end it ended in aCknewledging the
independence of the Netherlands. We
have seen bleeding Poland divided
amongst the powers that surrounded her;
but within the last year , they have risen
with scythes and pitchforks and dictated
tercet to their conquerors.: Take a case
nearer home. • England for; five hundred
years has been ensleaering to subjugate
Ireland, and 'she hasn't . done it yet. A
people are subjugated when they are held
tinder laws that'are not made with their
consent, arid let me'tell you. there can be
no union of this people without blood on
our in the future; Which is not bas
ed on the free Actusent pf the people of
every section of every State composing it.
I mean to say. there can "be no Union
which can bs peaceful and permanent
which is not a Union by consent. Why
is it to day that when the name of England
l mentioned Lthe_blood menthe in .she
cheek of every Irishman ? It is not be
cause Ireland bee not civil and religious
rights, bekbecause they were conceded to
her and nokininted with her sweet con;
sent. But supposing thskyou could sub.
tugate the-South; supposiog that tamer
could - sake - every city of the
South and - deittoy all the - armlet that are
gathered together against the government,
and should undertalre to bold that people
subjugated. From that moment we
should live under a despotism. I speak
not of the people who would be ,subjugat=
ed ; I speak of the conquerors. From that
day we should present - to the world the
singular spectacle of a people under the
form of a republican government holding
in subjection the people of another por
tion In direct contravention of alt the
principles upon which that government - is
based. Let that be acoompliihed . and - Our
liberties are forever gone, and the angel of
peace
land, never to 'return. I say, then, that

tration,la wsr thft can have no end,
aid that Is the policy which this Conven•
lion proposes to • the American people.
There is another Convention , which has

you. The platform of-the convention
which site few weeks ago by the shores
•
• lakellearbigao, is that this Union can
,-- E °ON:, VC TORZRAIN
never be preierved by "war and only
war.". That platfOrm , enuntdates peens.
It says thatfwal have now coma to a Mail;
in the affairs of our country when itis ow
duty to look 4,0. Pitsoeful
it is our duty to consult with those with
whom we are engaged itrwarEue, and sae
if we can stop this fraternal strife, com
pose the angry elements, and bring the
people of this distranted country upon the
oommon altar of Union. I know that that
platform is very distasteful to the leaders
of the other side ; that there Gourd have
been no platform proposed which would
have called out so much venom and hate
as that. They do not like it because they
see in it the handwriting on the wall 6—
TheY know Unit this people is not pre
pared to endotle "war and only war" in
the future, when they cannot show aeon
the - beginning of the end. They say that
we are for unconditional peace. I never
heard anybody speak, of unconditional
pesos except al Republican. For one, I
never would consent to an unconditional
peace, and I would hardly consent to an
-utkonditienal anything. But , against
whom is this charge of making a dishon
orable peace made ? Against the grand
old historic Democratic party : a party
which has governed this country in the
days of its greatest prosperity for more
*than fifty yearsHe party that has admin
istered the government through two wars
and - ended each with a most honorable
peace--a party which the old Whig party,
its noble opponent, never charged with
dishonor. And what party is it that char
ges this dishonor upon the Democratic
party ? Hew old is that party ? What is
its-name? Why; it has worn out every
honest sounding' name it has borne._ It
cast off Free Soil and now, after four
years, is lacking a desperatOdfort to cast
cattle name under which it has managed
the affairs of this country for the last four
years. Honest people do not repudiate
their name. The,Dcmooratio party never
repudiated theirs.
I think the great Democratio party of
the country willmot consent to any peace
which ikpot for the truest and highest
interests of themselves and their children
who come after them. I think the ten
millions of people in the North whom t
Democratic party represents,, care for the'
interests of their children and their ooun•
try and will look out, for them. After
saying that we woulitineke 'icy puns
with the rebels, they go farther and say
it is beneath our dignity, it is humiliating
to us to - undertake to treat with'rebels in
arms. It is the samearitiment that Lord
north used in the fleet:war of the revoln•
non ; he Would not. leonailiata America ;
he would not treat With rebels in arms,
but Wore the war had continued two
years Parliament passtd an order for the
appointment of commissioners to treat
with rebels in arms.' Was•sngland de
graded by it? The only difloalty wu
that she was too late. And they say fel..
ther that if there are any offers toi be
made let them make then', andirren the'
great Secretary of State, in a recent speech
which I read today, says that the South
have made no offers of peace. _
I wish here to lay down a proposition
which cannot be controverted, and that by
this,—that in a contest between a superi-
or and an inferior power, all proffers
should come from the superior power. I
state that is a proposition to which all
publicists will agree to. If the weaker
poker make a proffer of anything less than
they originally demanded, it demoralises
them among their, own people Sind loses
them the good opinion of the world. Does
it insure the stronger power to make of
fers? No. If offers were made it would
give that power additional strength, and
gain for it the respect of the world. I
take here the same ground that Edmund
-Burke did in the British Parliament in
the time of the - Revolutionary par, when
he gave substantially the same reasons
which I give hero. I say -that a wise man
controlling the weaker power cannot con
sistently make an offer, but if an offer is
made by the stronger power he may accept
of it it he pleases without discredit.. It is
no answer to say that Jefferson Davis
would not accept - an - " Offer: Why don't
they make him one? Because they be
lieve be would accept it. It they knew he
would not, as they say they do, wouldn't
it be a great card for them to make an
offer and have it refused ? No, gentlemen,
there are men around Abraham Lincoln
who do hot want the Union restortid s .and
that's the reason they make no offers.
There is nothing .that troubles them so
much as the fear that the Union as Geo.
Washington made it, will be the Union
under which our children will live. All
their leaders have said of the Union as it
was, they would not have it, and yet they
prate about the Union and call themselves
Union then. The men who have destroyed
and iseirderetP the Union, now want to
wear its old clothes.
It was ray good fort e, and an bonoi
which I conceive greatee
,then- any other'
which I ever enjoyed, to be a member. of
that great and noble company which as
sembled upon the Western shores of Lake
Michigan. Yon all knew the deep inter
est which for months had been felt by the
conservative people at the whole North in
antic' pstion of the doing= of that great
meet tag. And there never was assembled
a more sincere and nobler bade of men
than - was assembled at Ghicago-,-,And
animated by , the one sole purpose of
doing their entire duty to their coun
try in this great crisis. There were
statesmen in. that Convention. There
were men there who have been known to
the country and honored and respected
by the, country for ten, twenty and . fifty
years past. There was, head - and should

of Ohio, who was member of Congress
in linkignes time. There was Senator
Bigler, of Pennsylvania. There was that
