release of Henry clay Dean.

This distinguished gentleman, one of the
ablest Democrats and most eminent Public
speakers in Iowa, who was arbitrarily seized a
few wee S ago, by a band of conyalescent SO :
diers in Kcokuk, without even military au-
thority, but who was afterwards detained by
the Provost Marshal of that city, has been re-
leased from custody. The Burlington (Iowa)
argus, in noticing the fact, says:
"Was there ever a more disgraceful appoio-
sy ever offered for a fragrant outrage upon
any American citizen Alter kidnapping
Mr.. Dean, and holding him IA prisoner for
week, ard being unable to bring a single
charge against him, he is now released with
out u trial or even an examination. We defy
any one to point to an instance of a greater
outrage ever committed by the most desl otic
GovernDent on earth. 1t makes US bush for
the country in which We live. How can any
respectable citizen vote TO sustain a party in
power that sanctions such iniamy

love, and regards the Constitution and the
Union as absolutely necessary to our safety as
a Government and happiness as a people.
AYERS that which he knows to be false, or
which has been taught him by knayes who
know they are deceiring him.
Resolyed, That John Broueh, who has
never ben heard Of during the present war,
either to aid the families of volunteers, or to
ureo men to enlist, but who new, when the
,aiiread interest needs his services, is put for
ward as the sar candidate for Governor, is a
fair representative of his motley a ~sociatcs.

about Voting for Men and Money.

AO0ut voting for Men and Money.
On the 10Th Day Of November, 1860, a few
days after the President | election, the fol
lowing from Mr.. Vallandigham's own pen
appeared in tho Cincinnati Enquirer:
And cow let me add that / did say, not II
Washington, not at a dinner table, not in the
presence Of FIRE ~eaters,' but in the city Of New
York, In q public assembly. Ct NortherD men,
AMI in . public speech ut the Cooper Institute,
On the I'd day of November, 1860, that, .ii
any one or more of the States of this union
should at any time sccede-for reasons of the
sufhciency and Justice of which, before God
and the great tribunal Of history, they alone

.That sentiment, thus uttered in the pesence
OF thousands of Merchants and solid men OF
the Tree and patriotic City of New York, was
received with vehement and long continuing
applause, the entire vast assemblage rising as
one man and Cheering for some minutes. And
1 now deliberately repeat and reafirm it, re-
solved, though I stand alone, though all other
yield and fall away, to make it good to the
last moment of my public life. No menace.
no public clamor, no taunts, no sneers, Nor
foul detraciion from any quarter shall drive
me from my firm purpose. Ours is a govern
ment Of opinion, not OF force a Union OF free
will, not of arms a war Of sections, a war of
States, waged by a race compounded and
made of all othsr races full of intellect, Of
courage, of uncoIquerable, aud when set on
IRE by passion. the most bcllieerent and most
ferocious On the globe; a civil war full of hor-
rors, which no imagination can conceive, and
no pen portray. 1t Abraham Lincoln is wise,
looking truth and danger full in the face, he
will take counsel of the old men, the moder-
ates OF his party, and advise peace, ne.otiaticn,
concession; but ike the fuolish son of the
wise King, he rejects these wholesome coun-
sells, and. hearkens only to the mad men who
threaten chastisement with scorpions. Let b ID
zee TO it, lest il be recorded at last that none
remained to serve him save The house of Ju-
dab only AT least if he will forget the SCI
cession of the ten tribes, will he not learn a
lesson of wisdom from the secession of the
Thirteen Colonies"

ted Of being the only government on earth
where the oppressed Of all nations could ind a
welcome and happy home. Every object OF
tyrant's wrath, frcn one end of the globe to
the other, on reaching the blessed Gland of
Liberty was then himself a freenea. Our
chores were made welcome to oil, and thou-
sands and tens e thousands fully enjoyed the
opportuui,y thus Given, and quietly aud barpi
" sat own in peace to enjoy the glorious
sshange.
The irish exiles-t the Polish exiles-the
Hungarian exiles, and the cxies from 'asthou-
sand oppresscrs, political aud religious, were
objects Of our political regard, they feasted at
public banquefs, added spice and enthusiasm
70 our aspiring orators, and still more signif
cant and of a much higher note in history,
these .eriIes" had the warmest and deepest
sympathy of our people, ~;.ere their oPpressors
had their indignant eursss, 1 our country
became the Asylum of the oppressed a. yer

Little did any of ms suppose that we shoub4
have lived to see the day when a free Ameri
can citizen holding the reins of constitutional
power, would set before our eyes acts that SO
long stamped the tyra1 IS of Europe with infa-
my. But the end is not yet. Where free
discession ends, there thinking commences in
