in front of the Goodae Heuse, where Gov.
Corwin was stopping. He was called out,
and went upon the balcony, where he again
addressed the people in a speech of two
hours. After he concluded Mr.. Case was
called for. He appeared nd said he would
not detain them at that late hour, but
he indorsed every sentiment uttered by
Gov. Corwin. After music by the band,
the crowd separated with three cheers for
Gov. Corwin.
GOV. CORWIN'S SPEECH
When Gov. Corwin made mis- appear
ance on the stand, the three good round
cheers--sregular stunners'-which greet
cd sflzle a sof.ea4 kssauttfon to the
audience rather superfnous. The band
struck up an appropriate National Air, and
the people Lifted up lheir. voices in shouts
Of welcome which almost extinguished the
music.
Mr. Corwln arose to speak, mani'esting
considerable emotion. He had no thought
of saying anything to such-an audience as
appeared before him. He had been sick
ever since Saturday. His physicial. had
forbidden him to speak in the state of his
health at that time; but tEat careful gen.
tleman had been assured by ttendants who
had every reason t6 bewell acquainted
with his constitution that the sight of a
good old fashioned Wing. meeting would
do more to revive him than any amount Of
physic. s
s-"And Ifeel that lave experienced a
change already!" said "Old Tom" with one
of those indescribabe looks, with which he
can at any lime throw an audience into
commissions.
He had arrived just in time to hear Mr.
Case read a choice extract from d book
written by MIR. Cox, called-if he was rot
mistaken-"The Buckeye Abroad" OF
something of that surt. He acknowledged
with sorrow full heart that he was such a
barbarian as to have never read that book
1t was his own fault. The book had been
by the exemplary kindness of former
School Commissioner placed within the
reach of every man, woman and child in
Ohio-but he had not read it, He un.
4 derstood the distinguished gentleman who
wrote thatsbook bad heard man of hi,
color deliver a sermon, in Rome--if he was
not mistaken, il was at St. Peters. Thi.
sermon had produced a great effect on the
gentleman. 1t had originated q peculiar
theory in his brain.
But he would say no more about this. =
He supposed if he should be SO fortunate
4 as to make good speech on this occasion
Cox would bring that up as another proc
J of the truth of his theory! &C. !. -.

He could not be expected to know .ny

that niger in Rome. Should give such
