The following is an extract of a late speech delivered at Newport, R.I., by Senator Hale, of New Hampshire, upon the war: — “I don’t know what to think of the war. I don’t know when it will end. But I will say, and perhaps I may be sent to Fort Warren for it, — (Go on,’ said the Mayor. ‘I will protect you’) – that nothing has equaled the energy of the Rebels, except the weakness with which we have opposed them.”
(Liberator, Sept 12, 1862, pg 3)
