pose this war, but am not going along
with you. The old Tories Of the Revo-
lution-they are all gone now, but their
records remain, and the odium belonging
TO them attaches even 20 their descend
ants The old memories Of the Hart
ford Convention are hardly spoken Of
with decent respect; and know Of one
case whers the obloquy, though less than
that which should result under the pres
ent circumstances, descended TO the Sec
ond generation, keeping him from places
of honor and trust, simply because the
fact that the father had been q member
of the Hartford Convention chung TO him
like the shirt of Nessus. In the war
with Mexico we Democrats proclaimed it
to'be the duty of every man.tO stand up
for il, whether he believed IL right or
not,
did so, for printed the Cincinnati
Eaqrrer about that time.
A Voice--"I wish you printed IL now"
Mr. Brought don't if it advocated
the came principles as now. Laughter
and applause.l How ! poured hot shot
into those who opposed the war; how
fred whole broadsides at Tom Corwin.
Where 10 he now The brightest in
tellect, the noblest man the old Wing
party ever had in Ohio--they hardly
own him now, having showed him off to
Mexic0--a striking coincidence, the very
country whose cause he cham iJned. /
repeat brighter light never went out
than Corwin's, when he and whole hecA-
tombs # Wings fell under their oppose
ton 70 their nations war. Do not let as
reverse the record to-day, and place our
selves ia tue unfortunate position which
our political opponents then occupied.
You cannot pursue this hostility to the
war without bringing reproach upon
yourselves and party and individuals
Let me say to you young men, who
are lighting in the ranks OF the Demo-
cratic party 20 day, beware how you
tread ON the platform. IL is unsound,
aud the obloquy will follow you in all
your future years. You cannot wipe it
out. IL will be said Of you, TO your
children, and to your children's children:
THAT man was opposed TO putting down
the most wicked rebellion that ever ex-
listed" and when that brand is put upon
YOU it will mark you as an enemy Go
your country. Young man, let mo beg
Of you to turn back; go with that party
nolonger which adopted such a treason
able policy. Let your whole energies
DO given in support Of the Administra-
ton in this war. Don't cover yourseli
with infamy by taking upon yohrseli
the reputation of trying to strike down
the Government when engaged il a con-
test with rebellion. Applause

Ihave not proposed to-day 10 argue
with you the question of Secession, bu
l say to you that that dogma 80 destruc.

Government was established must b'
crushed out, or there will be no unity o.
national lille hereafter. think old Jack

when he knocked Calhoun and bis argu'
ment down with his proclamation.
think every man In this land will de-
ny the right OF Secession l had talk

audience q few minutes ago. / eaid &c
