l have given you freedom of elections,
greater then you have ever enjoyed before.
l have caused justice to be administered
so impartially, that your own advocates
have unanimously complimented the judg-
es OF my appointment.
You have seen, therefore, the benefit of
the laws and justice 'of the government
against which you have rebelled.
Why, then, will you not all return to
your allegiance to that government-not
with lip service, but with the heart?
l conjure you, if you desire ever to see
renewed prosperity, giving business to your
streets and wharves-if you hope to see
your city become again the mart Of the
western world, fed by it's rivers for more
than three thousand miles, draining the
commerce of country greater than the
mind of man hath ever cOnceived-return
to your allegiance.
If you desire to leave to your children
the inheritance you received of your Ia
thers-a stable constitutional government
If you desire that they should in the fu-
ture be portion of the greatest empire
the sun ever shone upon-return to your
allegiance.
There Is but one thing that stands in the
way.
There is but one thing that at this hour
stands between you and the government,
and that is slavery.
The institution, cursed of God, which
has taken its last refuge here, in His prov
idence will be rooted out as the tares from
the wheat, although the wheat be torn up
with it.
l have given much thought to that sub
ject.
1 came among you, by teachings, by
habit of mind, by political position, by
social affinity, inclined to sustain your do
nestle laws, if by possibility they might
be with safety to the Union.
Months of experience and of observation
have forced the conviction that the exist
ence Of slavery is incompatible with the
safety either Of yourselves or of the Union.
AS the system has gradually grown to its
present huge dimensions, it were best if ii
could be gradually removed; but it is bet
ter, far better, that it should be taken out
, at once than that it should longer vitiate

philanthropic views as regards the slave
but simply of the effect of slavery on the
master. See for yourselves.
Look around you and say whether the
saddening, deadening influence has not al
but destroyed the very framework of YOU

l am speaking the farewell words of one
who has shown his devotion to his coun

who in these words can have neither hope

all the solemnity of an appeal to HEAVIER
to bear me witness, that such are thu
views forced upon me by experience.
Come, then, to the unconditional sup
port of the government. Take into YOU

them according to the laws of nations an(
of God, and thus attain that great prosper
ity assured to you by geographical posi-
tan, only portion of which was hereto

THREE ROBBERS HANGED BY TIE PEOPLE.
\ correspondent of the San Francisco
Erening Bulletin, writing from Portland,
Oregon, under date of November II, gives
particulars of the execution of three men,
at Lewiston, in that State, by the inhabt-
ants:
A short time since, three men, named
English, Scott and Peoples, were executed
at Walla Walla, for highway robbery. AZ
ter an examination before Judge Oliphant,
in which their guilt plainly appeared, they
were committed and sent to Florence I'M
der guard to await q trial. Upon their
arrival at Lewiston they began to expert
ence aid and comfort from the outlaws who
inlest that place, and finally man named
Marshall attempted the rescue OF Peoples
In SO doing he fred a shot at one
OF the guard who resisted him. and wound
ed him slightly in the side. In an instant
the wounded man fired at Marshall with hi
yauger, tearing his right arm horribly.
Marshall fell, and the guard following up
his advantage, beat him over the head with
the barrel of his gun until he was sense
less. Soon after the respectable citizens
OF Lewiston got together to the number Of
three hundred, and after due consideration
concluded TO give English, Peoples and
Scott "a short shritt and q long rope" on
the spot. Accordingly, the next night a
committee proceeded to the house where
the criminals were confined, and taking
them from the guard hung them up by the
neck until they were dead.
wallis, and have long been known to be-
long to a gang Of equivocal characters
that have haunted that place-idlers, loaf
ers and cheats, or worse, whom the plain
spoken old English statute against ogues
and vagabonds, aptly described to be,
''such as wake on the night, and sleep on
the day, and haunt customable tavern and
ale-houses, and routs about and no man
wOt from whence they came, or whittier

1t had come to this, that it was as much
as mans life was worth to travel from
Florence to the settlement with money
upon his person. There was no doubt of
the guilt of the men, and it is highly pro-
bable that they had been engaged in high
way robbery and kindred pursuits all sum-
mer If they had been allowed to proceed
it is almost certain that they would have
been rescued by the way, or if not, they
would have remained at Florence in nom
lnal imprisonment, only, until good OPP
portunity offered for escape.

A Horse fond Of Mischief.

A gentleman some years ago. speaking of
the habits Of animals, gave the following
curious account:
There is, he said, very fine horse in the
possession OF Sir Henry Meux & Co, the
eminent brewers, which is used as a dray-
horse, but is SO tractable that he is left
sometimes without any restraint to walk
about the yard and return to the stable, ac-
cording to his fancy. In the yard there are
also few pigs Of a peculiar breed. fed on
grains and corn, and to these pigs The horse
has evidently an irsuperable objection
which is illustrated by the following fact.
There is deep trough in the yard, hold
ing water for the horses, where this horse
goes alone with his mouth full of corn.
which he saves from his supply. When he
reaches the trough he let's the corn fall near
it on the ground. and when the young
swine approach 10 eat it., for the old ones

Not NIOrsel from Ne.

We know that Vallandigham refused, as
Congressman, to vote dollar or a man for
this war, aud also refused to vote supplies
for men when they were raised, for such is
part of bis recorded history; but it seems he
even refused to contribute a morsal TO feed
the men who were summoned to Cincinnati
TO beat back the rebel invaders from Ohio
soil. The Cleveland Leader gives the fol-
lowing as having occurred at a Union meet
ing held in Euclid on Saturday evening:
Mr.. Ansel Walworth. one Of the most
reliable citizens OF this county, on being
called up. made the following statement
every word of which can be subs,antiated by
other equally reliable men:
When the armed citizens of the Reserve
were on their way to the defense of Oincin-
natl last summer, they found ample provi-
sions made for their sustenance at all the
points where refreshments were needed, ex.
cept at Dayton. Al that city our hungry
defenders were obliged to solicit. or be like
needy mendicants; and to secure something
like an adequate supply. committee was
appointed to visit the different portions OF
the town and make their wants known.
Mr.. Walworth accompanied those of this
committee, who, in their round, visited the
dwelling Of c. l.. Val:andingham, who was
at home, and with whom an interview was
had by the committee, in the presence of Mr..
Walwortb.
The committee respectfully made known
their errand to Mr.. Valianaigham. and stated
for what purpose our citizsns we're on their
way South. that they were hungry. and need.
ed bread, meat, DC. To this Mr. VAllandiQ-
ham replied "You shall not have a morsel
