be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war; only patriots — or traitors. Thank God Illinois is not divided on this question. (Cheers.) I know they expected to present a united South against a divided North. They prey of the victors. Their scheme was carnage and civil war in the North. There is but one way to defeat this. In Illinois it is being so defeated by closing up the ranks. War will thus be prevented on our own soil. While there was a hope ofor compromise to maintain it. But when the question comes of war in the cotton-fields of the South or the corn-fields of Illinois, I say the farther off the better. We cannot close our eyes to the sad and solemn fact that war does exist. The Govehis country. I thank you again for this magnificent demonstration. By it you show you have laid aside party strife. Illinois has a proud position — United, firm, determined never to permit the Government to be destroyed. (Prolonged cheering.)--

navigation, letters of marque to invite pirates to prey upon our commerce, a concerted movement to blot out the United States of America from the map of the globe. The question is, Are we to maintain the country of our fathers, or allow it to be stey can complain.

a cause for disunion as they have to-day. What good cause have they now that has not existed under every Administration? If they say the Territorial question — now, for the first time, there is no act of Congress prohibiting slavery anywhere. If it be the non-enforcement of the laws, the only complaints that I have heard have been of the too vigorous and faithful fulfilment of the Fugitive Slave Law. Then what reason have they? The slavery question is a mere excuse. The election of Lincoln is a mere pretext. The present secession movement is the result of an enormous conspiracy formed more than a year since, formed by leaders in the Southern Confederacy more than twelve months ago. They use the Slavery question as a means to aid the accomplishment of their ends. They desired the election of a Northern candidate, by a sectional vote, in order to show that the two sections cannot live together.

Let us lay aside all criminations and recriminations as to the origin of these difficulties.

I have said more than I intended to say. (Cries of Go on. ) It is a sad task to discuss questions so fearful as civil war; but sad as it is, bloody and disastrous as I expect it will be, I express it as my conviction before God, that it is the duty of every American citizen to rally round the flag of his country. I thank you again for this magnificent demonstration. By it you show you have laid aside party strife. Illinois has a proud position — United, firm, determined never to permit the Government to be destroyed. (Prolonged cheering.)--N. Y. Tribune, June 18
