Of this fact the evidence is ample in the recorded proceedings and teaching" of those who framed it I ruigbt enter into this fcroad field anil gather ample harvest of historical facte. I *hall however, oh this occasion content myself with the support of a single name. Nor will Ibe accused of selecting from the disciples of the school of State* rights. Ancient Federalism, the doctrine of a pow wrful, ceii'i J J Government, the absorption y the general government ot many of the most cherished rights of t'ue States had for its fuander and chiefest glory the gigantic intellect of Alexander Hamilton. Will the spirit of New Fngland Federalism listen to his great voice to-day 1 Hear it; "It has been well observed that to coerce the States is one of the mad dest projects that was ever devised.

It wi s, born of compromise, it rested upon an enlightened public consent and the i lea of a resort to the sword as a means of its perpetuation wae characterized even by the leader of the high Federal party, as "one cl the maddest projects that was ever devised My hope, therefore, is not in war. My hope is ir. poace j and in the supiemacy once raorj of human ! reason. The councils of a convention are more ; powerful and loss cruel than tha buttle- j field. Negotiation must coiflmuieaoe somewhere j In the whole range of history no war, civilized or' barbarian, was ever before waged thus long by a ' Government on a portion of its own citizens in revolt •without an effort for peaceful settlement. If it is ob jected that such an cffoit would be fruitless in onr case, my answer is that tha : fact is not known. The records of the Thirty-sixth Congress will forever show that the South would have honorably compro mised then. What she will do now, or hereafter, can only be known whon the rulers of the nation shall consent to take the precepts of the Christian gospel as their guide instead of the war cry of Mo loch in h s unholy thirst for revenge. War is the sport of Kings, but alas! what fatal ruin to the peo ple ; aud the American people— THE PEOPUE, not the no sy, enriched, paid, stuffed and pampered offi cials whose numbers and appetites afflict the land like Egyptian locusts, but the people of the soil and of the workshops, with hard hands and honest faces, are crying out in an agony of sweat and blood in ev erv corner of the Kcpublic as they behold the pro gress of this war and its results, 'How long, oh Lord ! how long ?" They are stanuing iu expectation, with longing hearts and tearful eyes, ready to exclaim, " Blessed are the pearein i kers, for they shall be called the children of God " Tt e poli cy which has governed the conduct of this war hi s also further aggravated its original weakness as a remedy for disunion. I shall not here pause to dis cuss it. The whole civilized world Knows that shameful story. Br.iltcn faith, violated pledges, per verted purposes, p polar deception, dishonored laws and a shuttered Constitution line its whole path-wnv. The I nion party at tho S f, uih rrvaged and crushed, and partisan issues thrust in the face of the North to divide an I distract >s people, constitue the results of the civil policy of the Administration in connection with the prosc -uTit nof the war. A war thus prose cuted cannot ru eeed. It has nd tie rr.crit of an honest and sincere mrnagenier.t.

The idea of conscripting GOO 000 men, when but 100,000 could be armed, un der a law containing the har-hest j rovision, and taking away married men from their ! families, besides breaking up the business population ol the city, is, in itself, enough to condemn the whole of tins unc institutional. enactment.

Grow and some half ad< zen preachers were !<> ad dress the people of that vicinity, and some of the Boys were anxious to hear what they had to say. Lemy BaCott, Emmet Pratt, De catur and Arthur Bicon, Milton Bci-juuin, E lwin Stephens and others, went ov< r, and were met with by insults from the start.— Such as ; " The copperheads from Nicholson have come ov< r.

But the muss ended there.
