Judge Luther Day, Of Portage county,
IS one efthe most prominent in the Dem
ocratic ranks Of Ohio. He was one Of
the Democratic State Central Committee,
up to the appointment by the State Con-
ventiOn ofthe 9Th Of August Of new Com
nittee, and has been known as strong and
unhinching adherent Of the Democratic
party until the choice was presented Ofpar-
ty or country. AT a Union gathering at
Freedom, in Portage county, on the gath
inst, Judge Day was one Of the speakers,
and his remarks we find in the Ravenna
Democrat as follows:
Judge Day said, he would say few words
to the brave, strong patriotic men before
him. In the name Of Gen. Lyon, the gal.
liant and departed hero Of tho Mississippi
Valley, who, when every field officer in the
Iowa regiment had failed, placed himselfat
their head, when they cried for leader

gent men. Who can now hesitate as to

Though treason had been eliminating.

doomed at Sumter in April last, and now.
before the frost has tinged these green
leaves here in Ohio, an organization has
sprung up, the leaders Of which are intent
upon giving aid and comfort to the re-

Why was the time of the Democratic
State Convention changed from the 5th of
September, the time set by the State Cen
tral Committee, of which Committee | was
member? 1t was because these rebel
sympathizers could not wait; the people
we're becoming cemented, and their work Of
destruction must begin. The resolutions
past were upon no principle or policy of
the Democratic party but touched upon
nothing but the war. [Tbe resolutions he
criticized sharply, showing them up as q
patent humbug, that Jewetl's letter Of ac-
ceptance and explanation don't white.wash
sufficiently to relieve them of the odium Of
treason, with which their rebel sympathies
taint them. The Democratic party. with
Jewett with his letter of acceptance and
explanation as its leader, he pronounced as
having the head o. a man, tie body of a
beast, terminating in the foul, slimy, sndky
folds of secession!
Tho term peace used by the Columbus
Convention, Vallandigham, Sam Medarv
and other traitors, was the synonym for JEFF.
Davis "tet as dtone,"-one would do in tho
North, the other in the South
Compromise! The only propositions
for compromise the speaker had seen were-
1st. Recognition Of the right of secession.
I'd. The North t. pay every cent Of the
cost of the war, and give indemnity for
their future submission. afna'
Sd. impeachment of Abraham Lincoln
for treason and other crimes.
These granted, and we can have peace
Put on this Southern jeff Davis yoke, and
we have effected compromised! Is this
the kind of peace they are inviting us to
said the speaker. How do you like it,
Are you ready now for compromise, or will
you, in the words of Andy johnson, tho
hero of Tennessee, consent to compromise
when rebels have laid down their arms, ac
knowledged the supremacy of the Govern
ment, and returned to their allegiance to
the Constitution and the laws.
Judge Day concluded, by saying the main
thing to be done-and if we don't do il we
might as we'll die-is, to raise men. We
can prolong the war, or we can end it in
two years; at all events, we should not think
of surrenderipg our rights until we bad
fought twice as long to retain them as did
our fathers to secure them TO us.
