some resolutions, the purport
Of which WAS, tliat our Goysrnmontc can
not, without loss Of character and in justice
to the noble dead that have fallen in the
defence Of its authority and the rights OF
humanity, accept Of less than uncon.
dtional submissions to the supremacy Of
the Constitution and the laws that the
future peace Of the United States demands
the summary execution Of all leading con-
spirators in this attempt TO destroy the
Government and, In the name Of the
people OF Ohio, we protest against the en-
teri ainment OF any proposition for setlle-
ment other than unconditional submis-
sion TO The rig ightfulauthority, and the con-
dign punishment Of the authors Of this re.
bellion. Now, this language Of summary
punishment was too strong for some Of the
Hon. gentlemen. They were in favor Of
the resolutions when properly worded but
thought such strong language might lead
10 bad results in other words, they prob
ably were afraid something would grow
out OF them that looked like emancipation.
The discussion was spirited. Mr.. CO.
rey said he had always been Democrat.
His resolutions contained but one propo-
silion, the punishment of crime. The
magnitude OF the crime should not be it's
protection. lie was not surprised that
men who, less than one year since, pro.
claimed tha: Secession had two hundred
thousand sympathizers in Ohio, should
oppose these resolutions. How any man,
especially one protesting to be friend

Union man, could oppose these resolu-
,ions, be could not understand. lie was
sure they would find ready echo in the
breasts OF the people Of Ohio. Slavery
was not brought into the question. For
himself, he was willing il should die the
death Of the suicide. He hoped il would
be denalionaized. He had expressed
himself only as a friend Of his country
The simple question was, shall the people
OF Ohio declare themselves, through their
Legislature. in favor OF summary punish.

At such an example we may shudder.
and regret its necessity, but to make il.
will command the respect OF the whole
world. We haz ,rd the future welfare OF
this Government by permitting men who
have shown that no lies Of heaven or
earth ave sacred to them, TO go unpun-
ished. The gentleman from Hamilton

Objections and questions were inter-
posed while Mr.. Cory was speaking, which
he answered with spirit, declaring he had
no love for those who feared rebels would
be hurt while loyal men were dying on
the battle, ,Geld. 10 the camps or hospitals,
or suffering worse than death in Southern

and mothers, brothers and sisters, were
