and consequently it has not the power which

Mr.. Vallandigham speaks Of the "northeru
friend" Of the South. Yes, they have
hiends here, but Of what sort are they? They
are G. L. Vallandighsm, James Buchanan,
Frank Pierce and others Of their stripe. It
is an old truth that the followers of
q despot or q rufian are as much meauer
than their principal as it is possible for them
to BE- So with these northern "friends " of
the rebels. Frank Pierce's character in this,
as in every ything else, was we'll illustrated By
a little adventure of his snd Msgruder's when
they were in command together in Mexico.
They were reeling through the dirtiest street
Of the dirtiest city in that land, both pretty
drunk. They supported each other for a
time, but finally Magruder fell into the gut
ter. Frank looked at him and said, " Mac.
can't help you cut, but to show my chris
tian sympathy with you, III fall an too"
and down he went into the gutter Just so
| he Is going down into the political gutter now
The speaker went on to show how the
South had had monopoly Of the Government
10 the ofices, and National privileges. But
for all substantial benefits they were indebt-
ed to the North. If they wanted vessel or
a machine they had to call upon Yankee me-
ehanics to do the work. The South had not,
and never could have, sailors, for their
four and half million men who did their
labor, and thereby became Injured to the Ia.
Dor which makes sailors, were tiIling the
ground and raising the staples of the South,
white the artistocrsts lay in idIeness.
Colonel Anderson spoke Of the system of
voting at the South, and, among other
peculiar institutions Of South Carolina.
told Of the "Foters prison." where every
voter, who receives money for his vote, fnds |
himself compelled to 60 and stay until be |
works out the value Of the money paid him |
for voting.
You may as we'll talk, said Colonel Ander-
son, Of fire In ice or ice in FIRE, as to look for
Industry and ingenuity among the people Of /
the South, where the extremity Of Fkili is to
burn out the hollow Of tree for canoe.
The speaker made q prospective glance at
the condition Of these rebels and especially
at their Northern sympathizsrs in the future
world, which certainly augursd I'll for their
comfort or luxury.
The speaker spoke Of his residence at the
South, where be was when Lincoln vas elect
ed. He was in Texas and a meeting was
called to further the Gauss Of secession. Col
onel Anderson rose and made a speech for
the Union, snd ct its close made a reference
to Washington and his farewell adjuration to
the people Of the United States to hold the
UaioR paramount to all other considerations,
and gave quotation from that speech, in
which be exccriated those who would break
up that Union for the scheme which thsF
called Independence, but which would really Be
the death warrant for all States that took
sueh q course.
Mr.. Barlow then introduced "John
BrOugh, the next Governor Of Ohio" who
was greeted with three hearty cheers. We
append an abstract of his speech, az full as
The pressure in our columns will admit.
SPEECH OF GOVERNOR aRoUeH.
Our next Governor elmmsncsd by remark
Ing that if he failed to do his duty by ,
his hearers it would be because Of his pre-
vious eXsrtions in the cause. This was the
thirty; seventh, tbsi hSsting It was
but q specimen Of those which he had found
elsewhere. The have quit counting the I
numbers Of our audienoes-Ws measure them
By acres now. At ST. ClairsTille the other day
there were ten solid acres Of people, the
largest sssemblage ever saw. Il is proof
Of the interest that the people take in this
struggle. We are only one brsnch Of the [
grand army of liberty, but there is no army
10 the field, drilled and mustered By our I
ablest leaders on Whoss success more depends
than on eur triumph. As question Of l4sH
the Importance Of the issue is trifing,-but
the vitality Of our nation is at stake. When
their Confsderacy is tOttsTing to its fell, when
their armies ere TetFsating before our Rdvane-
ing forces they cling to only one plsnk,-the
hope Of divisions in the HOrth,- triumph
of q peace party, which would palay the
North and give them aid and oomfort They
look to this struggls in Ohio with moro sarn-
estnssg and snxiety than TO any battle
which they can win. They would glory
more in the election Of Vallandighsm than
in the defeat of Meade by Lee. Il would
open our border to rebslliOR. Il would make
cur broad acres the scene Of battle If be
had been Governor in July what would have
confined Morgan to the Ohio river or have
stood between him and your own fair city

Nj. Brough then reviewed the history Of
the ssosssicn movement, showing it to have
been no sndden gust Of passion, but plot
long calcalated. he reviewed the original
compromises Of the constitution and the long
list Of concsssLoos since made by the North,
the Missouri Compromise, the nulliaeatiOn
business, the fugitive slave Law, the repeal Of
the compromise Of 1929, the effort to make
Kansas slave State sad showed how, at
/ least, when really controlling everything,
/ they had raised against the Government the
red hand Of war. He proceeded to speak Of
the history Of another form Of compromises,
those Of the old Democratic party-shOW-
ing that they had had their own way in every
| thing until, 10 1860, they demanded q plank
| in the platform asserting the right to transit
for slsve property, through free States, and
showing how after fifteen days Of debate the
