Tha Quart Homo, in which tho ad- dross was dalivarsd, was Iliad to orarflowiag —tho aaaambly being graced by tho prasaaoa of many Indie*. Hoa. Garnett Andrews was tolled oa to pre side, and Dr. H. G. Robertson Soorotary. Mr. Btophons than orooo amidst loud ap plause, and sold: Ms. Cultures, Louisa ass GenLiMea: 1 appear before you to day mainly on business. The subject is of no little importance. It is of great magnitude. It concerns us all ss muoh as any upon which I aver addressed you before. Our oouatry is at war—the most im portant wo eTsr were engaged in before—not •xoepting that of tho resolution which result ed in the aohiesement of our independenee.— To provide means to carry on the war, and •uetain our country in this exigency, is the object of my appearance here to-day. Our cause must be sustained. On its success every thing that concerns us in life depends. Time need not be taken np la rehearsing at length the causes ef the war—its origin or his tory. Allow me to premise, however, briefly a few thinga in relation to this contest In the first place, it is a most unnatural and irra tional war on the part of our former Northern confederates. Its success on thsir part would end in an entire overthrow of the principles upon which our eommou independence was achieved. Those States at the North now en gaged in this war against us, occupy the posi tion towards us that the British Government did towards the colonies in the Revolutionary struggle. They are endeavoring to govern us against our consent. England claimed the right to tax and govern us on the same principle. This right our fath ers denied. On the fourth of July 177S, each one of the colonies, through thsir legal repre sentatives—each State for itself—declared their independence, and proclaimed the great truth that all governments derive thsir just powers from the consent of the governed. This dec laration was not made as a nation, but by tbe representatives of each one of the sovereign and independent States. When the war closed, England acknowledged the independence of each one of the States separately, of Massa chusetts, of New York, of Virginia, of Georgia, and all the other States individually. On this same principle the Confederate States now stand. In this most unnatural war, Maasa- chuseils, that was represented by tbe patriot John Hancock in 1771, now occupies towards us the same relation that England did to us in the revolution. It is a war against the whole principles upon which the revolution was fought. Whatever may be the dangers of the future, let every son of revolutionary sires re member that the same prlnciplse are now in volved. We never sought to interfere with their Internal tffein. After the acknowledgment of the indepen dence of each ol tho States separately and severally by Great Britain, a Union between all of them was formed in that oompact known as the Constitution of the United States. This related to extra territorial or foreign aflairs, and extra State affairs. Tho regulation of all matters of domestio and internal policy within the States respec tively, was expressly reserved to the States or to the people. State Sovereignty was never parted with in that Constitution or compact of Union. Sovereign powers to a limited extent woro delegated, but sovereignty Itself was •till reserved to the people of the States re spectively. We claim the same sovereignty that oar fathers did—the same Inalienable right to self-government which they asserted, and which the States of the North joined them in pledging their lives, their fortunes, end sacred honor in maintaining. This right is now denied j hence this oonlicL When the people of the Southern States looked to tha future, after the elections last fall, some thought It best M wait a little, and see what tha result would be—to see whether the party than successful in the election of their President, would attempt to carry out thsir avowed policy. Others thought it beat to meet the eaemy at the threahhold. The gal lant State of South Carolina took tho lead. It was her right to ro-assume tho exercise of all her sovereign powers if she chose to do so, and no one had a right to <|uesMon it. This right was scoured In tha prlnciplse established whan her, set our, and the independence of all the Status was achieved. Other States soon fid- lowed. We did not resort to arms. Our sepa ration was effected, not through the cartridge box, but through tho ballot-box. The people decided this question for themselves. Such a moral spectacle never was witnessed. An overwhelming majority of the people of saves Southern States decided that it wee beat to re- sums their sovereignty. To question their right to de am involves tho whole doctrine upon which American Institution! wars founded — This great fundamental principle which sn- derliea, American Constitutional Liberty was daaMt by Mr. Liaeolu even before ha was for motif esated Ja hie pennant position. OMininioMN |p BtMwv between us sad eur old seared see tee upon the principles ef justice end good fettt. We wished to have no strife—We wished pesos.— tory of the world show Hi Bat ell oer efforts to meletale peaceable and amioabla rnUtiona were veia. It never wee our abject to make aggressions on say State not luelined te oomejiJj^^Nja think Mtnsouri, Kentucky, aware ought te oomo with us. We think it is beat for them; but it ia at question for thorn to deride. j It it our ito Ur eat to bo at peace with tho North. It is not to our interest tbet thej ahould overthrow the initiation* of tbrir frthtrs>- Wars ere injurious to it people. We end they feel it, end will oontinue to feel it more, ee long ee it leete. Hence, thi* wer Is nnneturel end ■uioidel on the pert of the North. They iey we bsguh it; thet we first fired on Fort Bnm- ter. We did fire on Sumter, but it wee not until efter we hed asked them to vacate it—-located, et It was, on our own toil—over which the returned sovsrsighty of one of onr new oonfederetee extended, end efter we hed been notified thet reinforcement* would bo fbreibly tent to it, end efter theeo reinforce ment* were on the wey, end nlmoet et the pleoe. The wer wee virtually begun—not by the first gun thet wea fired, but by the an nouncement thet Moultrie end ell the other Fort* in onr pome—ion should be captured, seis ed end held by Mr. Linooln's Government.— This wee the beginning of the wer. This wee its declaration, end from this bee sprung ell thet has or mey ensue. The taking of Sum ter wee but the meeting of this procalamation ee it ought to hero been met. The nsxt step was Mr. Linooln’s proclamation of the 15th of April, celling out 75,000 of tho militia, with out the shadow of legal or Constitutional au thority, with e view to our coercion end sub jugation—a purpose which could have been conceived in nothing short of the most stupen dous folly, as well as the most suicidal reck lessness. The object oen never be attained, while tbe consequences will be ruinous to those who undertake it. It not should be our purpose to detract from the merits, the eharaoter, prosperity, or power of the people of the North, or any other people on earth; but it may be justly said, that the most of the wealth of which they boast, has been acquired from their oonnections with the Booth. Their wealth is not in the productions of their •oil. It consists mostly in their commerce, their shipping, their trade, their manufactures, their spindles, their looms, their foundries, their forgee, tboir inventions, end their thou sand end one contrivances for supplying tha wants end the markets of the Sooth. They sold to the South annually not less then $250,000,- 000 worth of manufactures of various kinds, besidss the enormous profits accruing to their ship owners frem being onr carriers; while they exported to ell the world besides not *x- oeeding $40,000,000. Whet will become of them? Tho party now in power there have always •aid the South wea accursed. Their machine ry is fitted only to manufacture supplies suited to our wants. They knew our went# end were prepared to supply them, end were not prepar ed to supply those of any other people. Most of whet they made for us will suit no other peo ple. This wer on their pert is a forcible illus tration of the old adage of a men 44 cutting off his nose to spito hie face." Hence the remark thet it ia a wer altogether irrational end alto gether suicidal on their pert. When, however, reason is blinded end passion beers sway, there is no telling where a people will be led to. But there is another remark about this wer which eonoerns us end ell friends of constitu tional liberty everywhere. Upon our success in it, depends constitutional government. Noth ing less Is involved in the issue. The United States have been looked to by tbe down-trod den of earth, ea the pole star of hope, because within their limits every freemen—every citi- sen stood on an equality. The whole fabric rested upen restraints being thrown about ru- lers. No other government in the world secur ed such privileges. The will of a men or of a few persons, governs most nations. Of ell the governments in the world, in this alone, your President, the highest officer, wee bound by lew the seme as the humblest citisen. The men who made the Constitution wore mostly Southern men. In the North, in thet greet work there were but few helps end aids. Dr. Franklin end Alexander Hamilton end a few other able end distinguished men from the North were in the Convention, but they con tributed little to the master pieos of workman ship. They gave greet aid in having it adopt ed efter it was fashioned in the Convention as it wee; but it wea mostly the work of Southern hands—the 'product of Southern statesman ship. Hamilton wanted a government on quite * different model, end he eotnelly quit the Convention before its labors dosed. He after wards, it is true, brought his greet powers to beer, end did ell he conld to suetein it, end to put it into successful operation; but he contrib uted not a stone to the foundation, the wells or columns of the greet super-structure. Thet glorious temple of liberty wee the work of the hands of Southern men., If it be kept, end its prinoiples perpetuated, it will be done by the Confederate States. Reflecting men have long entertained the belief that if the Union were diaeolved, the North would go Into anarchy end despotism. It has been our pride thet out •f the seventy-two years of the existence of the Government under the Constitution, it haa been for sixty, under the oontrol of.Southern states men. This bee secured whatever of property end greatness—growth and development bee marked the Country’s career during its pest histery. The Northern masses generally agreed with Southern statesmen in their policy, and sustained them. These were the demoeraey ef that section. Mr. Jefferson said they were si fts* Washington's administration lasted eight yean. It was southern* and Ia tha line of Southern policy. Then same the elder Adame. Ha was Orem Massachusetts. Opposite ideas shaped hie policy. At the sad of fear years, the people indignantly turned him and hi* counsellors out of power.

All the important measures which have marked tho ^ is tory of the Govern- mssitf whiok hevs mad# it what it is, or wss before the dismemberment, and made it the admiration ef the world, were tbe fruits of the policy of Southern eteteemen. The party at the North new in power have been sgein*t the oouatry fc all its leading features ef pnblio pol- ioy, which haVe marked its kMory-csi&eially has It been against all its wars sinoe the Con- •titutien was formsd. Ia the war of 1812, Mas sachusetts would not ssnd bsr troops beyond hsr borders, though the war was mainly for tha prelection of the rights of her teamen.— That State opposed the Mexican war, and her people did not go there to fight the ooontry’s battlee. It is trot Caleb Cushing got up a regiment and went there, but it wu not com posed of mao/ native MMiaohueetta men.— Ite ranks were in a great measure filled up with the chivalrous Irish. This is the first war that has taken place sinoe the Revolution, that she has sent many of her native sons out of the State. It can be accounted for only because it is a fanatical war. Every thing in our past history that belongs to the nation’e glory was the result of Southern policy and support. We were all attached to the old Government, not for the name, not for the hull, but for the spirit, the life and soul of it, scouring as it did, equal right* to all sections. Wo have thrown off the Union, but we have preserved the Constitution. The revolution this country is rsally at tha Norths From Con stitutional Government, they are rapidly ad vancing to deepotiem. Southern men, in the hour of danger and peril, have rescued the work of their Fathers. They have taken the Constitution of ’87, and, instead of laying vio lent hands upon it, they have made such im provement* a* time and experience have shown to be proper. Tbe ohangee are not many, but of them thio may be said: Every change made in it ia of a conservative character—not one of a radical nature in it. They all look to a bet ter security of life, liberty and property. They all look to the better aecurity of tbe rights of the people against the encroachments of pow er, or the corruption* of their rulers. Mr. Lincoln says he make# war on us to pro tect the publie property, and yet under him the public property has been destroyed by mill ions. Immense amounts were burned at Har per’s Ferry and at the Navy Yard at Norfolk. This is no war to protect the property of the Government but to coerce and subjugate us.— What law was he executing when he iseued his proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers? It was in open palpable violation of law that he did it. It was without authority ot law or the shadow of law. No usurper ever entered upon a more unconstitutional career. By pro clamation ho has increased the array 25,000.— What law was this in execution of? It was a law of his own mtking. By proclamation be has increased the navy 25,000. What law was this in execution of? A law of hia own mak ing in palpable violation of the Constitution which he was sworn to support. Tho Constitution wss the foundation—the soul and life that we adored ; tbat Constitution that our fathers made, and which the Confed erate States have rescued from the impending destruction of his hands, and now held as a shield over you and your posterity, gives the power to Congress and not to the President to raise armies and navies. The President has no such power, and a people who submit to such glaring usurpations may have a name to be free, but in fact they are nothing but serfs and vassals. A war to execute the laws 1 By what law does he issue his warrant to arrest freemen and immure them in jails and dun geons, without information or prosecution ? By what law has he assumed to suspend the writ of habeas corpus t By the Constitution of our fathers and by the Constitution of the Confed erate States, Congress alone can suspend thia great writ of liberty, which was extorted even from a British King in behalf of his subjects' A war to execute the laws ( The war from the beginning bae been against law, and in viola tion of law—in utter violation of the funda mental organio law—the Constitution itself; and if not checked and stopped by the people of the North, it will inevitably end, and at no distant day, in an utter overthrow of every thing like constitutional liberty. Already tho courts—the expounders of the law have been •ileneed—the decisions of the Judges utterly dieregarded and condemned. Free oitisens are seised, imprisoned and possibly may beexecu ted, without any other hearing except such aa a military satrap may be willing to award.— All this is dene under tbe pretense of execut ing the laws, in the face and teeth of the high est law, whioh declares that, “ The right of tho people to be teoure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable March es and Miiures, shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue but upon probable csum supported by oath or affirmation, and particu larly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to bo seised.” And that other clauM which declares that, “ In all crim inal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by aa im partial jury of the State and district wherein the erime shall have been committed, whioh district shall have been previously ascertaintd by law, and to be informed of the nature and mum of the accusation ; to he oonfronted with the witness against him; to have oompulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his fsvor, and to have the assistance of oounasi for hia deft Soak are tho provisions of the Constitution he was sworn to support; bathe pats himMlf above the Constitution and above the decisions of the veaerable Taney, fie constitute# him self Into a law Maker* Isaacs his edicts, and south** men. fisrs ts hid thirty-two years then executes these aft Mm paint ef the haye- ol solera administration to four Norther*. : Then ss troths y—gw fids ms from tha North, fit was the treat embodiment ef those ideas dry ? Already the key-note hM boon given not —tbe Couri- ao be oblitera ted, Bute Legislatures abolished and State Courts done away with. Tho Government if to become consolidated and Constitutional bar riers are ell fo be swept away. Another paper —the Tribune, gives out tbat the Cong roes to assemble oa the 4th ef July—what a mockery to the memory of that glorioas day in ear past history, that such a Congress will aoMmbl* on ite; anniversary—will probably not sit more than two days. Everything ie arranged for them, out and dried. They are but to be the instruments of registering tbe edict! of the Cabinet however unconstitutional and mon strous. 1 * ' ' Sons of the South ! of the lend of Madison, of Jefferson, of Washington—of those who knew what the principles of self-government ware, ths priceless value of constitutional liberty, and periled everything in tbeir achievement 1 Did we cut loose too soon from them, your old con federate* ? The utmost Kcentiomnsss of the French Jacobins, iu their most unbridled fu ry and phrensy, did not exhibit greater ex travagance and recklessness in total disregard of lew snd order, and everything essential to good government, than these people at the North have exhibited in this wild, unoatural, irrational and fanatical crusade against us. Should they succeed, this whole country, North as* well as South, will present just such scene* as Franoe did during tho Reign of Terror. If eon|titutional liberty is to be maintained, then, let it be repeated, it must be done by us. This premnl* some of the outlines of the magnitude of the issues involved in thia eon test. It is not only the preservation of our soil from the polluted step of an arrogant invading foe; it is not only tbe maintsi nance of our sep arate independence ; but the maintainance of those principles which have distinguished the people of the United States above all other countriea and made them tbe light and the hope of the world. Let us then proceed to the important busi ness this day to be presented to your consider ation. The ladies do well to be here. Their presence alweya does good on such occasions. At this time everywhere they are found ready to do their part; but the business in hand is mainly with the planters. This war is upon us—not of our seeking, but it has to be met. Means have to be provided. Large armies are in the field A larger atill may be required. The support of armies requires money. Our means are ample. How best to use and control them moat efficiently for the best advantage to the Government and least disadvantage to the people, is the question.— On tbe present basis of military operations, $50,000,000 will be required for tbe present fis cal year. A loan of $8,000,000 was made some months ago. This will soon be exhausted. The immediate wants of the Treasury can be sup plied by the issue of Treasury notes, if the necessary measures be adopted to sustain their credit. A tax of $15,000,000 will be necessary to accomplish this object, before the proceeds of the proposed loan of produce, of which I intend to speak, can be made available. The rate of tax to raise Georgia’s part of this $15,- 000,000, if we shall have to resort to that meas ure, will be about twenty four cents on the hundred dollars worth of property. This, it is true, will be a small lax compared with the object to be attained, which is nothing less than our security, safety and political exis- tence. The Secretary of the Treasury hts been authorised to issue the notes for pressing exi gencies. The means to sustain their credit must be supplied. These are abundantly at our hands either by taxation to the full amount of the Government wants or by some other means which will accomplish the same object with more ease to the people. Our resources are ample. The proposition which ths government makes and which is this day presented to you, is to take a loan from the planters and farmers of produce instead of money. The products of the soil will answer the purpose of tbe Govern ment quite as well aa coffi. Grain, bacon and breadstuff* generally, are necessary for the subsistence of tbe army. TheM have to be bought with coin, if wo had it in hand; while cotton ond tobacco can and will at all times command the ooin. The proposition, then, is that each farmer and planter shall lend to the Government—not give but lend—so much of his produc-s as he can spare, and reocive Gov ernment bonds for it bearing 8 per cent, inter est. In this part of the State cotton is the main staple. Breadstuff* could be got more cheaply elsewhere. Now, if a planter make# 60 bales of cotton and ten will answer all the purposes of bis own qm and necessities, he is aiked to lend the remaining forty to the Gov ernment, and take bonds at 8 per cent interest instead of laying out his surplus in other kinds of property. If twenty-five of this fifty be nec essary for his own pressing necessities, let him lead the other half. If forty be required for his own wants, then let him lend tbe remain ing fifth of his crop. Whatever may be the expected surplus over and above his pressing wants, let it be vested in Government bonds at 8 per cent. In tercet instead of remaining idle in their hands or put in other kinds of proper ty. Thia is the proposition. It is easily un derstood. The form of subscription is in these words: 14 We, the subscribers, agree te oon tribute to the defcnM of the Confederate 8tates, the por tion of our crop Mt down to onr respective names; the same to be placed ia warehouse, •r ia our factor's hands, and sold on or before the first day of next, and the net pro ceeds of sale ws direct to be made over to the Treasurer of the Confederate States, for bonds for seme amoent, hearing eight per eeiL fn- Rath OM ortil deergneto tko fjkm'oilt'xi* ' agoet to whan Uta aoUoa to to Oa aM, with tha nomber $f Htafo Btod tha Ua># wHhin berea*»n.t>ly to yet, ply wlA tho fan amount tioo from Frovid.nli.l or otbar good eauao, no legal riak or forfeatnr* would bn Incurrud.

Should tbe planters of the South subscribe in this way, ealyeae faarihef their notion atop, it will give the Government the oofsuand of at least one million of baloa Upen all reasonable expec tations, tbe crop will not fail shart of four anil- lion* of bales. One million of bales at preMnt prices would’ bring at least $58,800,000—the sum required. The importance of this arrange ment being entered into at this time, is that the Secretary of the Treasury may raise means on this pledge in anticipation of the crop— a process familiar to many planters. In the mean tims tbe creditof the Treasury notes will not be depreciated when the means are top plied for Iheir early redemption. In this way the war may be waged on tbe most gigantic •cals, if our enemies so determine, without terial injury to our resouroes, or ever retorting to any system of high taxation. If they wage it npon tbe principle of wearing os oat by ex haustion, they will certainly fail on that line of policy before we shall. However great may have been their resources, they were derived, as stated, mainly from ns. With this great source of their supplies being cut off by their own suicidal act, whence or from what source is its equivalent to be made up ? Tbeir opera tions at present are upon abasia of perhaps not less than $100,001,00, or it may be$160,000,000 per annum. Where is this money to com* from ? It is true, it ia a question that concerns them— not us. It is a question though, not to be over looked by us in considering the eontingenoies of a protracted war. Most of their present means was derived from their trade with That now being cut off by their folly, madness and wickedness, where is their new stock to come from when the present is exhausted ?— The probabilities ere, they will resort to a con fiscation of tbe estates of their merchant prin ces—tbeir Astors and others like him. This is the usual course with such revolutions. Bueh was the course of the Jacobins, their great pro totypes. Like the army-worm, when they have destroyed the rich fields they now feed upon, they will turn and feed upon themselves. Not so with ue. No people in the world ever bad such a vast variety of resources. While our soil and climate yield abundantly every thing necessary to human subsistence, our sta ples of cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco, which other nations must have, yield annually not muoh under $300,000,000. We can, not only make enough breadstuff* in our o^n limits to sustain our own people, but sell to others, pro ducts to this amount. With a small portion of this income from abroad, we can, if need be, sustain an army of one hundred thousand in the fie'd for years to eome. All that is wanted ia union, co-operation, and patriotic concert between tbe Government and the people. If any hesitate, in oo-opeiating in this arrange ment from any apprehensions as to tbe securi ty of their investment in these bonds, let such consider, and be assured of this; let them re member aud mark it: If we succeed injthe war; if we drive back the invaders ; if we aebieve and establish our iudependenca, they will have the best security in the world. Tbe entire re sources of the Confederate States—their whole property and waalth will be pledged, not only to the punotual payment of interest, but the ultimate redemption of the bonds, making the investment therefore at8 percent internet, the best public investment in the world. Nor let any one timidly doubt of sueoess. The people of the South can never be con quered. Our enemies rely upon thsir num bers—we rely upon the vs lor of freemen, battling for country, for borne, and tvery- thiag dear as well as saorsd. But if we do not suoceod—should tho onemy provail— should wo boeomo subjugated, then not only will your ootton, but your land and every thing else you own, bo useless and worthless to you. To tho overtimed aud cautious auothor re flection may be appropriate. This war must and will be sustained, whether they come to its aid in this way or not. Our army in tho fiold, periling everything in defense of tho country, of vour homes and your Amides, must aid will be clothed and fed nod sup plied with all tho necessary munitions of war. Other gallant soas will toon follow their brethren in tbe field or to fill up thoir ranks in ease they fall before the enemy. Some of those ready to go are now present. The cause in whioh they have enlisted is not thoir csum alone, but tbe cause of every man, wo man and ohild in the Confederacy. In offer ing themselves voluntarily to fight io battlo, they make the highest and noblest offering mao can make. Of all the virtues none is purer, holler, loftier, or so Godlike as that whioh prompU a men to offer up himself, his life, his home and hia all, as a sacrifice npon his oountry’s altar. It is ths embodiment of all others. Truth, honor, fidelity, integrity, filliel affection, parental devotion, doaeetio attachments, ties to homo and the hearth stone, and all the ennobling sentiments tbat dignify man, would have no existence with out n country.
