peace, but We wish an honorable and endur
ing peace; and suoh can be secured onl.
through the medium Of sharp and Yigor
Gus policy.
We have many side issues TO distract an,
divide Us, but these should not divert US fron
| the main work before US. We have hearl
much of late about military arrests, AM
habeas corpus but the loyal man has nethini
to fear. Suspicious always haunt the GUILTY
mind. We cannot ignore the fact, that thert
are times Of peril when the safety of the Re
public becomes the supreme law. In obedi
| ence to the same, Jackson maintained mar
/ tial law at New Orleans, and Jefferson ar
rested Burr the conspirator under his powel
as commander-in-chief of the army and ma.
W Of the United States, and that, too, after
Congress had refused to suspend the privi'
lege of the writ Of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Diekman here considered the consti-
tutiOnal provisions in regard to the writ OIL
kabeas corpus; and in commenting upon :h'
war measures of the Administration, exam
ined at length the right Of seizing the prop
erty Of the enemy in time Of War-citing the
authority Of Vattel and other publicists, and
applying the law governing belligerents tt
the present rebellion. he took hopeful
view of affairs, and asserted his belief thai
I X
gigantic struggle in which we are now en-
gagged that our institutions, like gold tried
ia the FIRE, would come cut of it purer and
brighter than they have ever been that the
vast resources Of our people would receive &
manifold development; that the American
character would be presented under new
phase, the men more manly snd the women
more womanly that new energies would bI
drawn out, and the varied faculties Of the
nation quickened and enlarged in fine, thai
the present war would inure to the civiliza-
tion and progress not Of one people alone
bat in time, Of the whole human race. Oul
pecuniary burdens might perhaps seem oner-
Gus to some, but they are the price Of ma
tional life. Every nation in its onward ca
reer, when it reaches the turning point, must
often pass through trying ordeal. It may
be that we have reached the dark and trying
hour. If SO, let us pass through it manfullyi
batting not a jot Of heart or hope, but steering
right onward. The example Of the English
people during the Peninsular WVr, might
serve us well for imitation. Their immense
sacrifice Of treasure and of bloOd-their pri-
vation and suffering in every walk Of lifei
were deemed but dust in the balance when
weighed against the safety Of their govern
ment, and the preservation of the nations
honor. But we have richer legacy "a
more priceless heritage than ever the English
people had and shall we now see it pass
away forever? We do not believe that the
American people are yet prepared for such a
spectacle and if this rebellion cannot be
sooner crushed they will persevere in the
struggle, until the youngest child now alive
shall become gray in the holy cause. We
have given only the heads of Mr. DIS. speech,
which occupied about an hour in the delivery.
This eloquent effort was we'll received and
greeted with hearty applause.
Daring tha speaking the crowd became
so immense that second meeting was or
ganizsd at another stand, which was address,
ed eloquently by c. W. Palmer of this city
and by ColoneIs Caldwell and McComb At the
first stand the Hon. J. Bingham was speak
ing when our reporter left to catch the CIeve-
land train. He was to be followed by
Hutchins and Hinkle. A report of the re-
naming proceedings of the nesting, with
Some of the fiery and eloquent utteranees of
Mr.. Bingham, will be given in to -mOrrow's
paper.
The youngstown meeting was a glorious
success. Mahoning is awake and will give
forth no uncertain sound tO-morro&.
