SO, '64 Fellow Citizeni .- Whin can the war p-.licy of Mr. Lincoln restore the atctdad Sra'e* to the Union ? I" Never.' 1 ] We find I in the fir*' place, on the statute ho ik an act jof cr.fi-.cation, the effect of which is to de ' prive the people of the Southern State*, with j out reference to the question of their loyalty I to the Union, of their property. .Every uian 'tn the south wh has been d'rt-cfly or indi rectly, roluntar'ty or involuntarily, at any ' time engaged in the rebellion, is by fotce of this statute ol confiscation, rubbed entirely of hi* property. A word now as to the right of Congreai to pa*s a sweeping act of confiscation. It is a familiar principle to lawyera, and doubtless at this day to most peop'e. that the condition of allegiance on the part of the people to the government ta protection by the government ! of' the people. If the government fails to i protect me in tny allegiance In it, it has a > j right to demand that allegiance. If I find I auo'her government inaugurated in oppoai i ti-n to tie g ivTMoi-oit of the Uni'e I States, j a government de facto, wire t ha* power ever i my person and property, winch demand* tiv | allegiance, and my lawful government tail* to i pro'ect me in allegiance to if, the latter hsa I no right to d> mand such allegiance ; and f<>r i tt.e lime being, for *o lon.t a time an tny hg ! itni.ate government lads to protect me in tny 1 allegiance to it, I aui absolved irotn the bond. ! That ** an element iry principle. Apply it i i • th. rebellion. were to! I, and Correct l.v told in the early day* ol ih'* war, that there was an extensive Union tentiinent a! ! tin S uth. We Were tol I tliat in m.'.ny sec j Hons ol the Suit h, large majorities of the population we.t" st.ll la lhful to the .Union of tliftr lather*. We are net told so now,— Hot there was a government immediately j over them wlnc'i hid tne power to c unpel their obedience to it. Tue government of the U. S.. their lego nr.*ie g ivernment, had t'o rv v.er in piottct tin-in. That was ihe fiituat it'll of the Sou'hem 1-e pie nit* r the organization of the Cooled erate G -vemtneiit. Tne govt r uncut of the Uniierl States had not tlie power to ptoteC' tie. Union p. ople of the South hi fidelity to the Union. Triev tnut do one of two thing-: they tnti*t either s'and iTithful to their legit ima'e government, or go tver to this oppoai fiorj governtnenl established in their own S'aie* ; and accord tug to the principle to which I adver <*d a moment since, hid they not lor the tutu being, tn view of the failure ol the government of the United S a:es to protect them, a right t> render a forced, if \ll pli-a-e, an involuntary allegiance to the Confederate government ? At all events wi re placed in that pu*it ion, and while the} were so situated theg 'verninent of the Uni ted Siates, forge!lul ol its obligation to pro tect the Union cit-z nsofihe South, enact s a sweep'iig statute "f cot.fi-caiioti depr.vitij. them -d all their property. Is that the way .< bung luck the people ot the seceded States to their fidelity to the Union? They may well reply to the gov r riiment official*, "we were wil'iug to he ta hful to the g •vernm nit of the U i iied Slates, hut you failed to pr itect us in alle giance to it ; what could we do? we wire forced to render a reluctant allegiance to .be Confederate government ; and then you pas* ed an act which deprives us of our property if we coine hies." In whit posit in are the i.ijal teopleol the South placed? If thev c< uie back to the Union, the\ come hack na ke ias liny came into the w- r'd. I* that the way t" create a loyal sentiment in t!u ! SoiiUi ? I* ttiat U 'ay to tuducj the pen | pie of the S -uili to come hack to tlieir fi h-li ly to the Union ? Tiie federal government says to them '■ c hiij buk, lr c uiu back i naked a* y n came into the world !" Agaui, feliow-C'tij-n*. a R-tmolfCin Con givss has enacted anotber statii'e, statute which dt-q; ultfiv* t-ve-ry nun of the Sotifb oeen engaged. however reluctantly, in ttie *upp>rt of 'he confederate government, from holding any office or being repreien'ed in the federal government, E tf erv nun who has been c in pel led to render an unwidt. g stlppoit confederate gnvemmeii', Iron holding any • fliee or being ret retcnted to the federal g- vermnetit. Every man who haa een compelled to reinitr an unwilling support to that Confederate government t heticefor'h an 1 fon-ver disqoali ed troui hold ing anj Hof ttu*t, honor or profit under it e government of the United Statea. Tint government sa*s to them k * c in hack ; bin if vou do, von erne back not only r >lbed of your propt-r v, but you enme back at seifs, at cas-ais, as slaves, you have no right to be represented in the councils ol the nation." A ,t\ ami there i-another statute id dis qualification. Even if the people of the South should to in rrow give in their adhe sion to he federal government and underiake to send members to represent thetn in the II u<e of R. pri sentaiives and Senate of the United State*; where could the) find a unit in the'! midst who cmild go in'o either body and take the r quired oath thai he had never a' any time been etomged directlv or indi rectly in Mippoit of this rebellion ? And if a man cannot lake that oath, he is not Coinpe tent to bold a 'eat ihvre. I advert to thre thing*, fellow-citizens wall a view t<> call your attention to the drift 'ofthe whole policy of the R'publican party i with reference to the South. for they clai.u, yon know, that their nhj.-c* i s to restore the Union, ttia' they are ihr Union party ; and \et every tneasnre of tneira from the cum j menceinrnt of this administration has been to drive-fTand repel the South Irotn the Union. D• you believe, then, that they want this Union restore ias it was ?—Oh no. Indeed _they now acknowledge that they do not want I ihe Union as ii was. Nry more! believe that ll the 'esder.s of I Jit? Republican partv, an<l perhaps the followers too. to day admit i au'i decUie that thv will out have the Univo a# it was. What! not hare the Union as it waa ! not hare the glorious Union that our fathers nude fur ua ! Fellow- citizens, that Union ia good enough for me ; it is good enoogh for you ; it ia good anough for sbstn. Under that Union, the country waled great and prosperous. W* need n<J better Uuion than that which our fathers made for ua. But in addition to the measure* to which I have called y.ui attention thera is the uni j universal emancipation proclamation. I can -1 not call it a law, th >ujh it ia one oi Mr. Lin coin's aratutea. It*effect, I need not occupy your time in discussing. It ia in the nature of a confiscation statute, and in addition to that feature it pledges the whole power of the army and nary of the United States, not i for the restoration of the Union, tut for tha j putting down of this institution of tha South. Bides this, there is alto Mr, Lincoln's ' celebrated Amnesty proclamation in which he j aaya to the people of the South "if you : ehoose to take an oath to support aiy eman cipation proclamation and all other emancipa tion proclamations that I may think proper to issue and all the laws of Congress in regain 10 slavery, you may cone back into the Union, and when one-tenth of your number in any State shall bare taken this ao called ".ion clad " oath, they shall be clothed with the power to govern the other nine ten'ha ; then you in,y t rganize a State government." And this is said *o be for the purpose of aiding tin people of the South in inaugurating re publican governments in theiraeveral Slate*! We luva been taught in time past that a re publican government was one in which the people ruled t not one in which a certain favored class, composed of ore tenth, •■tie fifth, one fourth, or any fractional part ;hou!l beset over the heads of the people, but mi whiciih? p-'pte *re theirown rulera, their own governors. Now, fellow citizens, as men of common sense, for I wi-di to talk to you as such, can we ever, in view of these measures, in view of this peculiar wm policy of the present ad- j ministraiion, expect tne pe..pie of the S >uth to submit ? If lhey come hack, they tru->t n-.t only come biek r .hle<j ■ f the'r property utterly naked, but disqualified as citizens, rendered incapable of holding any office <<r <>' being represent- din the c .iiucila of the na noil tnere serfs, with the possibility at least in ad litloii to all this of having a favoied frac ion of uAprincipled C' undrel* who are willing to take any oath, n > ina'ter wfitt, set up over their head■ as their rulers. Is thai t e kmd o* po icy which will ever succeed m bringing hack the seceded Stat.-a to the Un ion ? Can it sticcee i ? Every man of cun iu >n st'iixe who is not a utterly blinded atiu maddened by pari iziu prejudice as to be un able to ace the truth, inu-t admit that it it -imply impossible to bring thetn back by any .uch policy. Then, fellow citizens. how long must ire of the north submit to a war pohcy "f tins s'>ri ? Wtiere and what ia the end to be ? I) > you believe that the pe >ple of the north are pre- | pared to accept a President chomn by b-gus ! electors from General Banks' govern nent in j Louisiana ? I name that a* s sample i f the j ret of the bogus State*. Just look r.t (hat povernm-'nt lor a umtneut* What is it 1 One year ago we had possession of a lrgo section of the siate "f Louisiana, along the .Mississippi from New Orleans up—n >t per naps a large sec'ion as Compared with the wh le State ; hut a considerable portion of that State was in the possession ami undur the e >tiirol ol the Federal arm*.

Will the people submit to it ? Fellow emzen , a year aen at Chicago, on an occasion of a little reign uf terror they naj.pmed to nava lucre, Mr, Senator Trumbull said, "the aamechahc* that we R*pubtc ms are presenting to the lip# of the Democrats to day, they mav parent to morrow." Tuat was the language of the Re publican Senator Trumbull, who stool train tiling in his b <ta when he male the rem ark. In times like these, revolutions in public opinion are sometime# fr> quont and violent There is a limit a .nowtierd to the people's fv bear*uce ; and the lima tniy cn;m iye, f-.duw cittxcus, I see the tun ' coining wnen ve may be permitted to present the same chalice to their lips that th-y hive been hol t ing t> o irs for three past. B|i I trust we shall not d > it in the same way—not by the em jloyment of'ho gag—.hot by striking down the fl ibtusC <rput ; not by tho terrors of arrest without warrant, imprisonment without crime, and p ilttical an 1 social pro scription for opinion's sake—not by sut round ing thetn with bise spies and malignant in formers ; not by stationing bodies of a rtned men in peaceful communities, and holding ba fore the frightened imagination of the people ghastly pic*ures of dark Bt.stil"# ; not by set iing np over their heads an arbitrary and ir responsible despotism. No '. No J I see the tune at ban 1 when we may heap coals of fire upon their heads by returning g >od to them t..r th-tr malign mt evil to ns thus teaching them a les->'n that will b.i useful to them when the c >untry sha'l again bo prosperous and happy.
