at their headquarters, with music, speeches, and so forth.--One speaker announced the fact that there was a heavy Union sentiment in Richmond, and added: There was in Richmond to-day a secret' organization of Union men who would destroy Jeff. Davis and his minions when General Grant and General Butler should march into Richmond and take possession of that city. [Applause.] And not the last man there to help them was John Minor Botts.--[Loud cheers.] They had heard a great deal about raippressed ["Bully for you"] and the people have made up their minds that Abraham Lincoln is the man to suppress it. [Cheers.] And they have made up their minds whether the rebellion exists at the North or the South--whether it is represented by Jeff. Davis or Seymour — it is to be suppressed--["Bully for you"]--and the greatest triumph we can achieve in this election is in the absolute destruction of Horatio Seymour. I mean the destruction of Seymour and his infernal exhorts, who have raised th
less women and children driven away in destitution; and that with fiendish malignity the passions of a servile race have been excited by our foes into the commission of atrocities from which death is a welcome escape. Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, do issue this my proclamation, setting apart Wednesday, the sixteenth day of November next, as a day to be specially devoted to the worship of Almighty God; and I do invite and invoke all the untry, healing its bleeding wounds, and securing to us the continued enjoyment of our right of self-government and independence; and that He graciously hearken to us, while we ascribe to Him the power and glory of our deliverance. Given under my hand and the seal of the Confederate States, at Richmond, this twenty-sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four. Jefferson Davis. By the President: J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State. [oc 27--td]
