We then said in that memorable contest that the rebels had not taken a single State out of the Union: that all the States were still in the Union. Tne rebels said they had taken the States out. Some men now say that we told a lie then, and that the rebels told the truth; that the States are out of the Union. (Laughter and applause.) I wink the Union men were telling the trath. i still believe that we told the truth. 1 believe to-day that every State is a member of our common Union. I believe that South Carolina has as much the right of representation in Congress, through Joyal members, as Indiana, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts. [Cheering and Spplauce.) I believe that the old flag, with all its stars, is still the emblem of liberty. I believe that we are a united country, t we are one people and one Union, and that all we jack that our country may again be restored as our fathers left it is. tne admission to Congress of loyal members elected from all the States.
