show the polish of the scholar and
the logic ofthe thinker.
Dr.D'Orsey was next introduced
by Colonel Lew. d. Campbell. He
as he came forward, that
it looked to him as If it was a very.
bad day for Butternuts, and he
thought the first Monday in April
was not a very good day for them
either. lie was glad the people OF
Butler county had turned out so
well on that occasion. He was q
Butler county boy himself, al.
though it was many years since he
had lived there; but he felt the
same interest as though he still rel
sided there, and he rejoiced to see
such an immense gathering before
him. Why was it, he asked, that
in the whole State Of Ohio they
should not be all Union men? 1t
was one of the noblest things they
could do, to throw party to the
winds to quiet all parties and mas,
tives, and unite to preserve our ma.
tional organization from destrucr
struction. He knew that it is true
that our country was never engal
ged in such adark and deadly strugl
gle as that in whicbit is engaged
atGthe7 Present. .hme:, but \ have
had war before, and it is not a new
thing to see all patty feeling and
party spirit thrown overheard, in
order to carry the country safely
through its hour of danger. lie
pointed to the war of 1872, when
Mr.. Madison was President Of the
United States. reminding his hear
ers that, although at that time
there were large numbers of mel
who were bitterly opposed to Mr..
MADISON, yet when war was once
declared with Great Britain, they
were ready to forget all, and they
united as one man to support the
arm Of the Administration. In the
history Of our country there is per.
maps no political party whose &C.
tons receive such merited cXccra
ton as the members Of the Hart.
! ford Convention.
The speaker next touched on tho
political career of G. l.. Vallandigh.
am. In a speech which that gen.
tIcman lately made, he had announ.
ced that he has always been, and
is still, eminently conservative
he belongs, then, to the class con.
sentative Democracy-a party
E which reminded him of q certain
milestone which was found Blu
ried almost i'll the heart of the city
at New York. On its face was in
scribed "four miles to New York
1t told the truth once, but sine,
then the world had moved on. S,
E prime pies Of conservative Democ
! racy were right once; but since thel
the political world has moved on
and he only wished that conserva
= tive Democrats had moved on q
I the same time. Again, Vallandigh
am says Slavery has roconciled tn
) institution Of universal suitrag
: with the stability Of the Govern
ment. lie would ask any vote
l there, whether it was not q ney
! idea to him, that the fact of his be
ng emit led to vote had enlea vor
! ed the stability of the Govern
ment, and required the institution
Of Slavery to control its baneful ef
feet. Six months before the wa
: broke out Vallandigham would no
, have dared to have uttered sue
sentiments in Ohio. Now he i
: driven to desperation by the dan
gers by which his Southern broth
rem are surrounded, and has bee
: obliged to utter such lies as thes
ia order to serve their cause.
