s readily. Judge R. then alluded in appropriate terms to the great conservative element of the North, who were friends of the South, and would be side by side with us in a sectional conflict, and declared that he had no fears of an invasion, or of any attempt at subjugation. After showing that Lincoln had neither the power nor the means to raise an army, he playfully asked, where such an army, if it could be raised, were to get officers from?--Burlingame, said he, will fight nowhere but in Canada! Then, who will command the Satanic army? Will Sumner take command? Not he! Shake a rattan at him, and he would be gone! Then, there is Seward, Giddings, Hale — are they the officers to subjugate us?--Surely not. It has been whispered that Gen. Winfield Scott would take command of an army to coerce the South. Said the speaker, I do not believe it. Brave and gallant as he is, he does not emulate the fate of Arnold. If he could be induced to attempt the subjugation of his native State,

ere made for T. T. Cropper. at the invitation of the President, T. T. Cropper, Esq., took the stand, and addressed the meeting at length. He commenced by denouncing party lines in times like these, and declared that any man who could raise party above his country, was a traitor, and deserved a traitor's doom. He then reviewed briefly the aggressions of the abolition party, and denounced them in merited terms. He scorned their threats of "coercion," and after alluding to Forney, of Pennsylvania, and his army of 80,000 Black Republican cohorts, declared that there were patriots at the North to meet them on their own grounds in defence of the South. The speaker knew that there were patriots in New York and elsewhere, ready to join us in defence of our rights, and, for one, he rejoiced that there were true men there, who deserved our sympathy and should have our support.
