Talk to me about sympathizing with dis.
union, with treason and traitors! | tell you,
men Of Ohio, that IN six months, in three
months, in six weeks it may be, there very
men and their masters in Washington whose
bidding they do, will be the advocates Of the
eternal dissolution of tins Union; and de
nounce all who oppose it as enemies to the
peace OF the country. Foreign intervention
and the repeated and most serious disasters
which have lately beiallen our arms, will

southern independence--di disnnion-or oil

Well, then, from that which concerns the
Democratic party to a word single word,
aboutlwh hat relates to myself; and | beg par.
don for the DEPRESSION. | ain rejoiced that it
has been permitted to me TO be here, present
to day in person before you. Had you be
heved the reports of the Republican press,
you would no doubt have expected TO see
probably The most extraordinary compound
Of leprous and unsightly flesh and blood ever
exhibited. Laughter. Well, my friends,
you see that am not quite 'monstrous" at
least, and bear no especial resemblance to the
beastio the Apocalypse, either in head or
horns; but am man of like fashion with
yourselves. H}a aua' a8 ia nt aH.a
TO the Republican party alcne, and its
press andits orators, am indebted, do doubt
for large part Of the 'curosity' which |

which has brought out even some of them as

meant to be friendly towards me, | know,
but as see some OF them now within my
vision, lot me whisper in their ears, that |
never had better friends, and no man ever
had since the world began. They have ad.
yertised me free of cost, ,,lor the las, fifteen
months; yes, Imay say for some five years
past, all over the United States. Why, sir,
a Republican editor without "the undersign-
ed" lor a text, would be the most unhappy
mortal in the world. Every little printers
devil" in the office would be following for
copy, and no copy to be had. know that
they are friends, by the usual sign, "the re-
marks they make" Gentlemen | have had
my share OF what Jefferson called the
JUNCTION, the holy oil with which the Demo
cratic priesthood has always been annointed
ISLANDER, detraction and calulnny without
stint. Really am not sure that with me
it has not reached ''extreme unction," though
am not ready, and do not mean, to depart
yet. Well, will not complain. Ithas cost
