mounted the stand and addressed the mul
titude in thrilling speech, which was
received with cheer after cheer. lie could
not beexpected to agree upon terms of peace
or upon anything else, without freedom of
discussion, which was denied in Burnside's
infamous Order No. SO. We cannot un.
dertake to decide for peace or war until
we achieve our own liberties. If Mr..
Vallandigham can convince me that we
can settle this quarrel, am with him
heart and hand but until we have heard
him we cannot speak, lis a farce 10 talk
of free government. The Democracy are
not responsible for this war. Our adver.
saries are slaves. They say the quarrel
could not have been settled, but l know
that it could, and the Union maintained in
its integrity. They shall be held respon-
for all this bloodshed in the face of God.
in the face of men and money, all they
WANT but if they fail TO accomplish the
restoration of the Union the judgement of
God, ofman, and of history will be against
them. lie would uttcrd no word for
which they could construc into an excuse
their failure. If they restore the
Union he was false prophet; ifthey fail
they shall not put on US any excuse for
their failure. But he would not submit to
arbitrary and tyranicaI power. The Dem
ocracy have borne more outrage than was
ever borne by people before, If they
insist on martial law, if we are to hold
our property, and the right 10 protect our
wives and children, at the whim of mill
tary commanders like Burnside, it is time
TO call convention that never vii adjourn
until our own liberties are achieved. A
man can die but once, and it is glorious to
pay the penalty Of life in defence of libcr-

we would have been saved this disgrace !;
but We have creature, a thing that sold
himself for q great office, which he has
dragged in tAe dust. An honest man can
be pardoncd tor changing his belief, but
Governor Tod's infamy is indescribable.
He has the audacity to say he will again
belong to the Democratic party, but if he
ever appears in Democratic Convention
I will move to expel him. Mr.. Pugh de =
nounced the cowardiee and projury Of
Judges Leavitt and Swayne as infamous
Mr.. Valandigham had authorized him to
say that the choice of Imprisonment had
not been allowed to him, as he would
rather a thousand times have gone to Fort
Warren than into the lines of those in
rebellion against the Constitution. Mr.
Pugh concluded his speech by saying he
would listen to nothing, think of nothing,
consent to nothing until Vallandigham
was returned to us. If we failed at the
balot-box in October, be counseIed free
men 10 seek in some other and happier
country the liberties they could no longer

Pugh's speech he was nominated as Lieu
tenant Governor, and in spite Of his earn,
est and sincere protestatons against it,thG
nomination was conferred unanimously
and the people carried off the orator upor
their shoulders in triumph. A resolution
was passed that the members of this Con
vention would maintain and defend tht
sentiments uttered by Mr.. Pugh, if it re
quirod every man to carry musket upol
his shoulder.
