I ap teal to you as men loving your sountrj tad your kiudred. Complain aot if th< trong arm of the law shall put its clutch s upon your property, if you refuse tc !o at this hour what duly demands a our hands.

There is but one class of men in our com unity meaner than the speculator and tortioner, and that is men who is up lliog to let his produce go to the sup >rt of our brave soldiers in the field.? ipplause ] What belter are you than eculal' rs and extortioners, who cling your provisions with a starving army oo your borders f What is a speculator id extortioeer but the man who loves >id and property more than life and libty I Is not that your owa case f And i you think you satisfy the demands of m country and of your owo aonseienee, cause you agree with others in this de neiaiiou of Yank???
