THE RAMPAGE,


UTTEkANCES.
The Vallandigham sympathizcrs in the city
Df New York held meetln. ut Union Square
On Monday evening. They had anticipated
IN immense crowd and went to the trouble Of
erecting four stands. So little interest WAS
excited on the subject, however, TINT only
small number Of people came, SO that there
wns no need Of morc than one. In all, about
three thousand persons were there. There
were speakers at I'LL the stands, but the big
guns" who were advertised did not appear.

country; that there is no question about the
independence Of the South, because Southern

North; that those liberties must be preserved
by organization; that those Organizations
ought 10 be Of military character, with com.
missions from Gov. Seyruou

Tie Times says:
The boys here called for three cheers for
FallaE ham, three more for Gen. Mcclellan,
and three groans for Dr.. CEecver, Ill of which
were responded to. Mr. Carey then read tue
resolution, following which tho chairman in
trodnced Daniel G. BiTdBall, esq, as the fir5t
speaker.
Mr. Birdsall said he had not expected tc
speak, but all the speakers from abroad had
disappointed them, aud he felt it his duty to
say few words. He pronounced the Con
scription Act unconstitutional, aud although
he did not recommend them to resist it, ia
voice, "We will,"] get lie did recon,
mend them to stand By the Democratic party,
and to show By their votes next fall, wllethe,
they would allow the conscription in this
State or not. Tic said that lie had weighed
we'll NIL the words that he uttered, and ht
here announced that be was in favor of wipina
out and repudiating the debt contracted bi
the Government for carrying on ttis war. Il

TO free the nigger, and it had got to be rcpu
dated. His futher, he said, advised him no,
to speak there that evening, and his wife, will
her arms around his neck, implored him moi
to come, lest he should say something rash
daughter and applause; : but he WAS bound ii
exercise the freedom OF speech, let what woult
come.
There we're two or three more speakers, bui
We have given specimens of the kind If talk
indulged in. Let any reader judge whethe
these people regard Fallandjgllam as 'samert
man Of straw" about whose sentiments the,
care nothing. Was it the principle Of sfrett
speech alone that they were trying to sus
tain, or was it their object to give aid ant
comfort to the rebels.
