The Dayton Ohio Journal gives the following
report of Vallandighams speech in that city on Sat
urday evening:
speak not as a menace, but by way Of entreaty,
that your hereafter depends upon your adherence 10
the laws and Constitution.
Why Srs, men OF position in this town, are pro-
claiming and justifying the right of dsregardny the
Constitution for allowing object which cannot be
obtained without departing from il. Have they
read history THE speaker here referred 10 the
Greece Rome, and French Revolutions, for historic
Notwithstanding at length from Alison g History
OF the terrible horrors Of the lattertracing all Of
them to disregard of fundamental law, he stated
that these excuses came along step by step-ti the
atrocities of DaDton and Robrspierre were reached,
and added: What has been, may be.
Ii the history of the past that IN times OF great
public danger, the provisions of the law would not
be respected. IL was that which made France 90
into such great excesses. They began with the law
yers of France. Tuey taught the multitude that
Constitutions did not stand LII their way that men
might be put to death without process Of law. In
such cases, power falls into the hands Of the worst
OF men.
Let the day of reckoning come, and these men r,l'
perish as they hare done an all ages. ltObesI ierre

memories OF the past by the histories OF the tyran-
MES Of Greece and Rome, aud the terrors Of the
French Revolution, call on all men TO demand Of
the Administration that il obey the Constitution.
If any is a traitor guilty Of any act OF Treason,
not for opinions sake, not for political differences,
let him be proceeded against according 10 law, and
IL guilty let him perish on gallows as high as
Haman. II is because would avoid U<se h0rr0rs
that call the President TO keep the exercise Of
the military law where the Constitution keeps it
in the army and navy; and thai no man, not III the
army aud navy, shall be arrested without due pro-
cess of law.
Tie convictions entertain as a patriot, Of the
means 10 restore the union Of these States and for
the Constitution as lis and the Union as 1t was,
will never give upneither in life death, neither
princpsltes nor power, neither things present or to
come, nor the knife of the sssassin will move me
from it. Loud cheers
lie thinks it Can be restored by arms yet / do
not Those Uho agree ruth him should fght nth
him. 1t is an impelGng necessity, manifest destiny
that we he one people. IL Lis In the hands Of God,
only 10 be accomplished by the honesty OF the
people.
Now, fellow-citizens, have somewhat to say
shout the attempt To suppress the Rebellion. al
WAYS have been III favor OF suppressiDg the Rebel

ffths good Democras-to the abused, outraged
Msjor-General Geo. Is. Mcclellan. II he is not
able 10 accomplish IT, it is because 1t Is not IN Tie
nature OF things TO be accom- hsed IN that way. IL
be had been allowed u do az he wished, il w0uic
have been accom- ished by this time II it war
possible 10 suppress 1t by armed force The plan pro-
posed by him was the only which could have
succeeded. 1.-The speaker then went Oh rehasbing
the slang OF tbose who desire to strike the President
by criticisms Of the policy Of the war;. Il implied
the restoration OF the Union an il was Tba . IN,
