.uniustly arrested and imprisoned have I
not innocent men been often convicted of
crime? And did You ever think of over
turning the temple of justice because the
right man was not in all cases punished
But some of You would now hurl your
splendid Government into ruins, and
spread blOOdshed, anarchy and destruc-
ton all over the land, from ocean to ocean
because, fOrsooth YOU believe Vallandig- /
ham has been unjustly confined to a sum
mer retreat at the Falls of Niagara Be-
cause the Administration disagrees with I
you as to the loyalty of the act and keeps
him banished, you would embarass the \
Administration and thus give traitors a
chance of wreaking your vengeance upon
the Executive, in the overthrow of the
Government tell you | cannst stand
so narrow platform as that! Neither
can you if you have the good of your
country at stake. . .ts.. .. er-.
.f HON PUGH WOULD FIX EN-. t
Why, says Mr.. Pugh, there have been
no arbitrary arrests in New York since
the election of Horatio Seymour, and
there will be no such arrests in Ohio after 4
the election of Vallandigh am. Now what
has Cove NOR Seymour done2 He has re.
sisted the draft. He pronounced it un-
constitutional, and recommended the peo- |
pie to resist il. Within twelve days after |
that the streets of New York were filed |
with bloody violence, ,illumined by blaz-
ing edifces, and made horrible by the
frantic yells of the mob, the shrieks OF
the terrified and the groans of the dying |
The riot lasted five dayst That model gov
eruor went down to the unfortunate city |
and cody commenced firing blank car
tridges at the scoundrls, and then advis-
ed them to 90 away like good boys, aud |
he would see that the draft was suspend
ed -af ss.-...l. -.r -a.-..-. ~
A voice.-'And meet again when you
please" ...-. --... ....,...-s.
Yes, and meet again when you please.
TLaughter That is your model COVER
nor, Mr.. Pughi And such a model Gov |
ernor, for Ohio, what would have been |
done with Morgan !? If you desire such |
a governor as that you must go outside OF
me to find him. :! 80 .H-. .-f i,- l-r. ID
gao THE vALLANDIGHAN COMMITTEE 5il o.
Mr.. Vallandigham has had an opportu-
nifty to come home. A large committee
was sent to intercede in his behalf with
the Administration. Now Mr.. Lincoln
will have his joke sometimes, and he said
to these gentlemen that he would not ask
Mr. Vallandigham to support the war, be-
cause he was not there to answer-but
YOU gentlemen-if you will agree that the
war is constitutional and will vote sup
Plies to the army, he would recall him =
DO YOU not see the Joke? Six of that
committee andCongressmen elect, ana he
wished to commit them to the support of
the army. They would not answer that
question! Can you stand upon so con-
tracted space as the Vallandighanl plat
form -.. -"
SLAVERY.
Mr.. Pugh says he will vote millions of
men and money if we will not free the
slaves. But it is an Abolition war.
know not whether am an Abilitionist or
not. But when the issue is between the
salvation of the countay and the destruet-
ion of Slavery, / have no difficulty in
choosing my course. Judge Thurman
charges me with insisting that no State
shall, under, any circumstances, come
back into the Union except as free State.
| have never expressed nor held such
adoctrine. III had, would be filter for
the lunatic asylum than for Governor of
Ohio. have always held Slavery 10 be
exclusively a State institution. And
what do insist upon is that Slavery shall
not hereafter be the all-controlling politi-
cal power Of the county. If the issue
shall be made between the destruction of
the Government or the destruction of
slavery. trust / shall be found differing
from. Mr.. Pugh if holds on to what he
now teaches. !,

[Great laughter and applause l under
stand what YOU mean. You mean to ask
whether 7 would restore the Union with
slaveryg To that have to reply that in
my opinion the first gun fired upon Sum-

Sumter fell, and so did the manacles from
every slave. '7 ".-- ,--" -
You need not be concerned about Sla-
very. The institution will fall of itself.

But they make great thing of the proc
lamation, as if q piece of paper could
reach beyond the military arm.

Constitutional rights Not of loyal men,

the rebellion could not be crushed until {
slavery was struck out. s.-.-r-- {
How did we commence the war? Under
the rose-wa;er policy, we made slave
hounds of our officers and soldiers until Ir

4 voice-"Who did it?' II
Why, they did it at Washington, and y
your party now stands upon the same j
policy. Your candidate over there IN
Canada has Just said that it was great
misfortune that Buell. was removed from
the command in kentucky +,
But by and by the military leaders !,
were educated up to the point OF using
Slavery in the prosecution of the war !
Old Ben. Butler was the first man who :
struck for this; and this time-honored r
Democrat is now a perfect heathen.-
Laughter. He was the the first who
dared to treat the slaves even as contra
bands" His idea was that every negro !
you returned to Slavery was equal to =
nan and half against you. They could :
.aise food for the army at half the cost of
white labor, and every one of themwould, =
therefore, be as good to the traitors as
nan and half in the North against them.
And yet how terribly are some of you
exercised because few slaves are taken S
rom them. $
PEACE OR WAR
The question before US is peace or war, q
