Excerpt from An Address on the Occasion of Dedicating the Monument to Ladd and Whitney: Members of the Sixth Regiment, M. V. M., Killed at Baltimore, Maryland, April 19, 1861; Delivered at Lowell, Massachusetts, June 17, 1865
On the 18th of February, 1861, Jefferson Davis, in the pride of his arrogant pretension, not yet taught to believe that the Yankees would fight, encouraged in his insolence by the mild loyalty which then pervaded Washington, New York, and the great cities of the North, defied their manhood by the exclamation: The day of compromise is past, and those who now resist us shall smell Southern gunpowder and feel Southern steel. On the 12th day of April, the day when the cannon of treason opened on Fort Sumter, the rebel Secretary of War shouted from the rebel capital at Montgomery The war has now commenced; Within a month the Confederate flag will float over the dome of the Capitol at Washington, and in the month of May we will dictate terms of peace in Independence Hall, in Philadelphia. And the Richmond Whig, reiter ating this threat, recorded in its conservative col umus the testimony, that i from the mountain tops and valleys to the shores of the sea, there is one wild shout of firm resolve to capture Washington City at all and every human efi'ort.
