lion. Wm u. lancey delivered his first
Ohio speech in the Opera House, in Cincin-

good stock of it on hand
"What for 2" asked Republican.
"To hang you gentlemen who come down
South to steal our slaves ~
The retort called forth great cheering. AT
another time he said

blood they shed in the cause of freedom, our
mutual prosperity, demand it, But if the
Union is to be sustained by trampling upon
the Constitution aud Expressing my section

mistress liberty, ms the patriotic word gushed
from his musical lips, the minirns of power
were there and dared like miuions of power
here tonight, hiss at the language of truth
and justice"

plause, which was prolonged for several min.

delivery of the speech. s !,
