Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1859-07-13

I We alluded. the other day. to the fact thai
The Hon. Thomas oOrvin was complimepted BY
serenade At Indianapolis, one night last week
and that he acknowledged the compliment by
speech. We also remarked that the ultra
republicans did not relish his speech. lie did
not talk to please the fanatics. and they ere en-
gagged IN denouneing HIM. The State Sentinel
which gives an epitome Of his remarks on the
occasion, says he pronounced our Consultation
the most perfect system Of government ever de
vised. Heregarded Il more than the result Of
human wIsdom--an emanation from Deity Il.
self. He referred TO the compromises Of the
Constitution, among which was the guarantee
for tho rendition Of fugitive slaves. He was in
favor Of standing by the Constitution and main.
tanning It's compromises.
The "rampsnts" object to to this. One Of
them observed that il Corwin stood upon the
republican platform, and his foolishness about
supporting the Constitution, and the compro
misses, was republican doctrine, he was ''in IA
rOr of blowing the platform and party 70 The

ing the dangerous spirit Of disunionism and
abolitiouism that is nov rampant in the land
that the ultra Republicans Of Indianapolis arc
cursug Mr. Corwin. Such patriotic and loyal
sentiments they pronounce as treason TO The
Republican party. Ii entertained by the peo.
pie, the result will be the overthrow Of the Re.
publican Organization. IL is for that reason
they gnssh their teeth over the truthful and
conservative sentiments 50 eloquently uttered
by the distinguished Ohioian.
We refer TO the speech Of Mr.. C0rwin % one
OF peculiar significance He is a mao past the
medium Of lile--a period in which the fires Of
ambition are assusgsd. He has thought much
OF our peculiar institutions, and has had large
experience IN the affairs Of government Aud
what is his tes,imony1 he y o. no hope for the
perPetuity ofo0r Institutions, uneQualled by
those OF any other nation which history records
but IN tho preservation Of the Constitution Just
as 1t is--as IL came FROM the hands Of its fram>
ers. How different is he from these blind par
usans who, for the sake Of carrying out some
abstraction which can do them no good and
confer no benefit upon the country, have the
viii, II not lhe strength OF Sampson, to pull
down the pillars which sustain our fair fabric
Of government. The rebuke of Mr. Corwin to
this class was terrible, and we wonder not they
feel most ecuiely the castigation They can't
stand such consetvatsm-such loyalty to the
Constitution and the Union.
1t strikes us that Governor Chase and friends
will not consider Oorwin orthodox. They
claimed, after his Morrow speech, that he was
"fxed;" that he was ga good enough Repub>
licapi" and they took a vast deal of pains to
prove that he aud Gov. Chase were warm per.
sonsl and political friends-resl tOdies. We
all along surmIsed how the thing would even.
