4 HOIcc from Ohio.

We commend the following extract from
the patriotic speech of Governor pcnnison,
OF Ohio at Il war meeting AT Cleveland on
the oath instant, TO the attention Of our
readers. His words are fifty spoken and
have the ring OF genuine metal:
"TLcqucstion ha. been asked, why not compromise ,
What compromise with treason and rebellion God
forbid when amau compromises with wrong he
becomes wronglocr When you compromise with
treason YOU become traitors. Cheers We VIII
never compromise, but fight for a century, if need
be We will dcsolatc the fields Of the South and lay
their cities in ashes rather than compromise. I'm
mcnsc cheering We have been asked why not be
kind to our erring brethren. They have forgotten
that they were our brethren, and we will forget
It. If we can doit in no other way We will annhate
them. IChccrsl There is no middle ground. We
must subjugatc or be subiugatCd. We want peace
but when it comes We do not want n temporiZng
peace, but pence forever, The only terms on which
peace can be had is the recognition by the people Of
every State otthc sovereignty and complete suprena
cy of the American government
This is the right kind of talk. BY such
policy alone can we conquer the rebellion
There is no middle ground no le,lace toI
compromss. One party or the tIer must
go under. Slavchald1s commenced tho
rebellion, and they must conquer us, or lay
down their arms, and submit to our clemency
No other arrangement can bc made which
will degrade and ruin rs.
