Democratic Union speeches.

sionist, Vallandingham of Ohio, was so
scathingly used up by Messrs. Bingham of
Ohio and Wright of Pennsylvania. We
ask particular attention to Mr.. Wright's
speech, because he is a democrat, and be-
c,use II shows distinctly that there are
enough Union men among the democrats,
who with the Union republicans, will form
sufficient strength TO keep up healthy polit-
zeal action in the country. 1t is said at
Washington that there is decided reaction
against the course Of Vallandngkam, even
among democrats. Mr.. Wright is an ultra
democrat, and Internationally for fhe Union.
and his speech is said tohave created pro-
found and healthy impression at Washing
ton. When he declared that "we must
fight till jeff. Davis ana his belli>h crew are
externinated,' it electrified the House, and
produced rounds Of irrepressible applause
from the galleries. Members crowded a
round him during the delivery of his speech,
ard manifested their delight at his bold and
eloquent words.
Another democratic Union speech OF no
less importance has been delivered in the
Senate by Senator Wright Of Indiana. 1t
is no less bold and in fact more so, in scath-
ing dcnunciation Of northern traitors We
cannot forego the privilege of giving some
extracts from the speech Of this noble dem
ocratic Senator, who so emphatically sinks
IL -, fbic
hour. He said there was nothing in the
history Of the past eighteen months to give
any reason for despondency. / want"
said he, "to see Louisiana, Texas, Arkan-
sas. and Missouri cut off from the cotton
region. / know that there is not a foot of
grazing land in the Southern Confederacy
when YOU cut these States off from cotton
dom. know that over two hundred thous-
and head of cattle have crossed at Vicks-
burg from the grazing region west OF the
Mississippi, TO give life to this rebellion in
the last twelve months. want the Missis-
sippi river opened by western boys; as it
soon will be in my judgment. Then want
to see those rivers which go up into the
heart Of cottondom lined with our gunboats
In other words, mean this. I rant to see
one hundred thousand Shareholders running
one acay, and I acant to see a million Of ne
yroes running the other. Applause in the
galleries.
The Vice President-Order!
Ia Mr.. Wight icant to strike at The hear
of the rebellion. want to get around it
throat; and when you do that, and not be
fore. viii you see daylight"
81 He then paid a glowing tribute to Gen
Rosecrans. On Monday last he made an
other admirable speech in reply to Powe
(secesh) of Kentucky, who attempted a
answer tc Mr.. Wright's speech. To thi
the patriotic orator made immediate re
spouse, and his appeal to the example {
Hannibal taking the oath Of undying an
unrelenting hate to Rome, was stirring an
beyond description. A correspondent say
s"The very heart of the matter was reacl
ed by the patriotic orator when he declare
that he too had children, and should tax
from them an oath never to relent until St
cesson is crushed"

ESD Mr.. POWELL (Dem., Ky.) proceeded
speak at length in answer to the speech

Jefferson as authority for the suspension

contended that jefferson never was in fay
of arbitrary arrests, and he claimed that (
Senator from Indiana had no right to OUT
Senator Douglas as authority for imprisC

Government included loyalty to the Pre-
dent.
- Mr.. Wright Gun. Dem, Ind said I
in time of war he believed it to be the d
of every loyal man to support the Cove

Mr.. POWELL said that depended on
character Of the war. He believer this
commenced to overthrow the institution
the South, and he believed that it was o.
throwing the Constitution, and he VIC
give it neither money nor men.
Mr.. WRIGHT, in reply, said he did
acknowledge that Democracy as true wi
in time of war refused to aid the Gov

and Breckenridge in the ranks of the
moc-acy and many of the Democrats
