Mr.. Vallandigham then counseIed his Demo
cratic friends to stand by the laws seek redress
through the Courts and administer that rebuke to
the corrupt Exclusion from Office" They would
not peFsevere in their wicked course. Might
makes right, and we have the might and the
right too. The thunder tones Of popular YER
dict had told them this. We will get satisfaction
for our wrongs through the law. He called upon
every man who had been unlawfully imprisoned
in the walls of bastile to seek for redress through
the forms of law, ne valued himself and the
liberties of his countrymen. England has given
us examples of illegal arrests-these usurpers
can not even claim the merit Of originality for
their tyranny--she has also given US examples of
the punishment of the Uffenlers. In England
the person of subject is inviolate. An English
mans house or home is his castle. The sun and
the rain and the winds OF heaven may enter
through the roof, but the monarch dare not pass
the Threshold of the meanest peasants howell
without his consent or the warrant of law. We
have notable instance of what an Engishman's
liberty for one hour is considered worth by an
English jury. A Secretary of State arrested a
British subject and imprisoned him for one hour.
At the end of that time he released. He
brought suit against "my Lord, /" and recovered a
verdict for $4,000. Lord Chief Justice Pratt,
afterwards Lord Camden-the advocate of the
cause of the Colonies. the friend of America in
its youth-made the memorable declaration in
this case, "None but an English jury can esti-
mate the value of an Englishman's time for one
hour" An Indiana jury may be able to make a
like estimate. That is the way we should and
will have satisfaction.
The people have spoken-they must be heard
and will be heard. Freedom Of speech has not
been an offense in England since the statute of
Edward I'LL: 1--WE will have the Union as it was,
the Constitution as it is, and the negroes where
they are"
Mr.. Vallandigham said that at one time he had
almost despaired of the people, was almost forced
to believe that the spirit of freedom had expired
Indeed, every American so loves his country that
he would willingly have his rights suspended for
a short time if he could be assured that the Gov
eminent could be restored thereby, and the pre-
cious boon of personal liberty and constitutional
rights remain uninjured. For thirty, or sixty, or
even ninety days, the suspension of the forms of
law might be endured But there seemed no end
to it. This was to be breakfast spell. 1t was
the longest breakfast spell the world ever heard
of. Breakfast was not over yet. The Secretary
of State had assured us, time and again, and had
sent the same word abroad, that the rebellion
would be crushed out in ninety days. But it is
not yet. A proclamation for the freedom Of the
niger went forth, and few days after, one for

Mr. Vallandigham said that the campaign had
only just begun. 1t must be kept up. We have
a willy and INSCRIPTIONS antagonsm to contend
with. The man who could speak and write was
no Democrat if he could not do both The good
old times will return. He did believe in the pos
sibity, nay, the probability of the restoration of
the Union as il was. We have commenced the
work here with the ballot box, with it we have
smitten the Philistnes hip and thigh. The peo-
pie Of the South after little while, will by the
same fundamentally put down the secession reb-
els there, as we have the Abolition rebels here,
and peace and union will once more smile upon
the land. That is the sentiment in the ranks of
both armies, and if you would to-day put ballots
in the hands of the private soldiers of the North
and South. the agitators and leaders who are
forcing streams of blood to flow, would be effect
ually put down. He related several instances OF
this feeling in the army, and concluded with an
elegant peroratIon, which was received. rs the
main pats of his speech had been throughout, by
thunders of applause.
SPEECH OF HON. GEORGE II. PESDLETON.
Mr.. Deven then introduced Mr.. Pendleton as
one of the ablest champions of Democracy in
Ohio. He was greeted with vocferous cheering.
Mr. Pendleton said that it gave him great
pleasure to meet the gallant Democracy OF Indi-
ana and to rejoice with them, but he had desired
rather to be a spectator than actor He want
ed to see the Democratic traitors of Indana-to
see how they felt since the elections, and how the
AbolitiOists treated them. In Ohio they were
treated rather civily now-indeed with conside
ration in some instances. The great circle of
States that bound the Atlantic to the Mississippi
had spoken. They were to be one, and what God
had joined together let not Abolitionism dare to
u - l..
that this man or that was elected 1t mattered
not with the people, if he read their hearts Alright
what man held this or that Office, but the triumph
was one that indicated the principles upon which
our Government was founded The men we
have defeated when they wished to be funny call
US Butternuts, COpperheads, Vallandghamm
&c. they can't see how all this came about
They abused Abraham Lincoln, but thought il
cruel to be too severe upon brother in affection
then they abused each other, and finally set out
by hunting up the causes Of defeat The Central
Committee of Indiana intend to publish ON Mon
day twenty-tw good reasons for the present state
of things The essence of all these twenty two
reasons is, that the county of Union failed to give
its usual majority There was certain King OF
France once look journey through his domin-
ions. The select men of one of the towns he was
approaching got up address giving fifty two
reasons for not saluting him with artillery. They
began 70 read. The first reason was they "could
not get a canponp' "StOp," said the King. "that
is reason enoughl" Now why was it they could
not get their usual majority in Union county, why
not here and in other places? 1t was because the
party in power have violated the Constitution and
sought to ensave the people.
Mr. Pendleton then presented the issues as
made up by the parties in the late contest BE
dwelt eloquenily upon the arbitrary arrests. the
violations of the Constitution, the iniquities OF
the tariff. to which the people of the West could
not be blind, the proclamations freeing the ne
groes and declaring martial law, the startling
frauds on every hand in the public expenditure
and the insane policy generally of the Congress
and the Administration These were the reasons
why Union county did not give its usual major
ityi
And now, said Mr. P, the Aboitionists ask us
what we interd to do. We intend to go on Sc
curing Democratic victories until we get the pow
er, and then we will maintain the Constitution rs
it is, and restore the Union as it was. We will
compel the Abolitonsts of the North to submit
to it, and we will compel the Secessionists of the
South to obey it alsol
Mr.. Pendeton closed with a strong appeal to
the people to be above party-to be in these
times of tempest and of storm for the country
and its sheet anchor, the Constitution, which
alone could save it. His speech produced a pro
found impression, and we regret that we have not
space to present at least its leading points.
SPEECH OF HON. t. A.. HENDRICKS
Mr.. Develin introduced Mr.. Hendricks to the
audience as the next Senator from Indiana. Ii
is needless TO say that he was received in such a
manner as gave an expression unmstakable that
such was the wish of those before him.
We are obliged. for want of space, to defer IN
