Before the speaker left Columbus, he
saw placrded around the city, hand bills
calling the people to assemble for the rur-
| pose Cf having speecbcs--on whatl The
preservation Of this Unioni The preser-
vation VI the institutions under which

pose of hearing speeches on the subject

eighty Of the State ! And Peace Well,
my friends, peace is very good thirg.
/ We all want peace as soon as we can

TO show you that the manner in which
we can have pcece TO this county per-
manently and securely, is by carrying
this war until every rebel is subdued and
and willing to give HE allegiance again
to the Constitution and laws under which
we live. There can be no other peace
no other mode of securing it..
Now, let me say to you my democratic
friends, and il have not larger NUM-
Der Of these listening to me, let me say to
my ReJull C II friends, that do not
know n Republican, Democrat, or any
man. unless he is a Union man, who is
heart aud hand, soul aud body, and brains,
devoted to this Union. care not what
his polit cal anteccdents may be, or that
by name he is Democrat or q Republi-
can, am willing to take him by the
hand provided he is willing to stand with
me in season and out 81 ason, at all times
in defence of the Union OF these States
and the government under which you
and live, put in power by a constitu.
tional majority of the people of those
States. He (the speaker desired to give
to the Union men of his audience facts for
their consideration and the consideration
of the r.ncighbors, who entertained oppc-
site views-iacts to present to them up
on the roadside, or in the corn field, or
harvest field ,or the meadow. When you
are taking your noon spell, talk to them
and rep at the facts | shall lay down to
you. Why, have the Democrats with
bcld their influence and support from the
government When the news came of
the fall Of Sumptcr, men of both parties
harbored II feeling of strsng resentment
towards the rebellion, but the resent
ment on the Democratic side has weak
ened.
They say now, Il at the Of jects Of the
war have changed, it is 10 longer war
for the country aud the government, but
that il is war for abolition. DO not
believe there is man in Seneca county ;,
who believes that this is an abolition
war. That one of the incidents of this
war may be to free slaves OF the south,
| do not deny, but | appeal to any man 10
say that il at the commencement of this
war the Administ alton army did not use
every means in their power to prevent
the peculiar institution of the south
from being jnterfered with ! And as cy-
idence of these complaints, came day by
day frcm the army like this:" Why don't
the administration exercise its power Of
wing hold of this negro matter, which
We believe might be used to kuypres IS
rebellions." Their complaints were in
newspapers, were heard on street cor
ncrs, complaints that the union army were
used to catch negroes and protect rebel
property. II was true. II was hoped that
by this Course of leniency those men in
rebellion might be won back to aleg-
lance and brought to acknowledge that
the sole object of the war was to break
down and crush the rebellion and restore
the peace and former harmony of our ma
ton. You talk about this being war
for the negro, because incidental to its
prosecution the negro may be set at libcr-
ty. Sl,very in a degree retards the sue
ccssIul subjugation OF the rebellion and
it may be extingushcd. Anything that
the war, believe will 20 down
the Vallundigham party will go down.
Daughter and applauss). lie would say
to the people, that If slavery in this suifc
of tha natl on,. found u gravr, it would
be an incidcntsl effect OF the struggle,
but not the purpose or designed end OF its
inauguration That the war did grow
largely out ol the peculiar Institution,
he was willing to remark, but understand
ingly. He believed, that slavery had a
great deal to do with the commencement
of the war, and in variety otways.
by an observance Of the census tables
of the years lS40, 1850 and 1850, the
fact became obvious that the north was
steadily and gradually outsriping the
sonth in the race of progr, ssion, in popu-
lation, wealth and power, and why
The simplest reason that because free
dom stood up in the north, and slavery
was triumphant south. Out Of this fact
springs the great difference. At the for
nation of the Federal Government, the
city of Charleston was grcit point of
trade and traic. Now, men W no went
to Charleston for supplies, 20 to New
York aud Philadelphia. Thus in the
race of progressing, and Tree, labor, the
power an circumstance OF the s)utherncr
was transferred TO the nOrtherner -
Another strong reason that kindled the
fires of rebellion, evirces itself in the
fact that strong and well de fined line of
social demUrkation drawn between the la
boring and non-laboring population exists
in tie south, a distinction peculiar tn re
where there are laboring men, and men
who own labor--a disiinc; ion that can
not exist north.
The speaker then referred to the speech
of c. l.. vallandigham at Cooper lnsti-
tute, New York, In lS6o-whenever the
speaker made use of the expressions
that he "would not vote one single dol
lar of money to preserve the Union "and
that" State hus right to Judge for IT,

speaker at length He then referred To
the complaints made by luke.warm pa
triots about the intollerable expenses of
the war, and the consequent taxes. He
