Geo. e. Pugh on Free Speech.

The yclping Of the Copperheads in "a
vor of FREQ speech. is apt to call up their
antecedents. For instance. George E.
Pugh, the tail to the Vallandigham kite
in Ohio. in his speech at Columbus. on
the occasion of his nomination, howled
himself hoarse in favor of free speech
In fact, his whole harrangue was "this,
and nothing more Now. let MS see
what this fellow believed and said eight
years ago. In 1855. the Pierce Demo
cratic) Administration sent a Federal ar
my into Kansas to force upon the people
of that territory . constitution which con-
tanned the following clanse:
II any free person. by speaking or by
,criting. assert or maintain that persons
have not the right to hold slaves in this
territory; or print, or publish. write.
circulate, or cause to be introduced
into this territory. written, printed, pub
lished or circulated in this territory any
book. paper. magazine, pamphlet or cir
cular containing any denial of the right
TO hold slaves in this territory, such per
sons shall be deemed guilty Of felony.
and punished by imprisonment at hard
labor for term Of not less than two
years.
Now. this modern champion of free
speech. George E. Pugh. was at that time
a member OF The United States Senate.
aud defended this very code. in speech
printed in the Congregational Globe. page
Clio. May &c. 1856. In that speech be
said:
Sir, / regret the necessity for such legis-
lation. but wherever slavery exists as an
institution. laws of that character must
be adopted.

Justify MIR. Pugh in prohibiting free
speech. but. if the sxigencies of our Union
call for the same measure. he howls him.
self hoarsc over the great outrage
Verify. with Mr.. Push. slavery is more
sacred than the Union.
AS to the kind of free discussion we
may expect. if these Copperheads get in
to power. it is defined to us in an article
from the New York Journal of Commerce.
Pecksniffian Copperhead. from which we
make the following extract:
The IDEA that slave States and free
States can exist in political combination,
with hostility to slavery debating the
political action OF free States, is too RI
diculous to be entertained for one moment
That is, in plain terms. when the Cop.
psrheads get into power, if such thing
should happen. we must shat our mouths
close our newspaper columns. and let tho
Alave oligarchy DO what pride, prejudice
or passion, may seem to them best. oil

The Editor Of the RrrcplrcAS must ba,

The Editor Of the RErUsLIcAS must have
some secret cause for his bitter personal
hatred Of Mr.. Packard.
The course Of that sheet in reference to
Mr.. Packard is unmanly, undighiied and
unpopular. The language and blackguard
epithets applied TO him. on every possible
occasion. must disgust even the friends Of
the RErUBLIcAN. What argument il it 10

None whatever, and our neighbor simply
gives expression to his hatred, for relief,

{ gentleman. and the course taken by the
REPUBLICAN and certain abolition leaders
about town-who cannot bear to hear the
truth boldly advocated-instead Of injur-
ing the object Of their assault, has increas-
ell his popularity. Seeing this. they con-
tinue in the cause from mere personal ha-

no personal hatred Whatever toward Dir.
Packard. but claims the right to speak as
plainly OF Packard as he does Of others in
his speeches. There is not more violent
or abusive speaker in the State than Pack
ard. and certainly he nor his friends can
complain If he is spoken of in the same
terms he speaks of others. II he wishes to
be treated courteously and respectfully let
him set the example.
Mr.. Packard. we presume, can not be
more Indifferent to the abuse of one who
voluntarily sinks below the grade Of q gen.
tleman, in order to fight him with his own
,wespons than others are of his mendacious
abuse. 1t certainly requires great audaci-
~ and assurance in any one to intimate
that Packard does not voluntarily sink be-
fo~ the grade of gentleman every time
he speaks. In his last speech here he
abused and cslumr lated the best ard purest
patriots in tho State for no other cause
than that they had been actively engaged
in putting down the rebellion. But what
better could we expect from man, who.
when the clouds of war commenced rolling
up from the South, declared "When the
Northern Abolaionists make ,oar upon The
South. Ikxow very sceH schieh ,roy my gun

His gun has been continually pointed since
that day, at every man, whether Democrat
or Republican. who intimated that he
wanted the rebellion crushed.

their nominating Convention on Saturday
last. Notwithstanding the Democrat and
the leaders cried Justify to the faithful TO
turn out in their strength. but few besides
the delegates were in attendance. 1t was
certainly the quietest and slimest County
Convention of that party that has conven-
ed in this place for several years past
There was no enthusiasm manifested by
the delegates or any one else, but on the
contrary all looked like they felt they were
engaged in bad and sinking cause.
