man, addressing his fellow citizens 80 miles distant
from any military authority, should be arrested in
bis own house dragged forth from II, aud be tined
by military couluiisson--an anomaly IN the Juris
prudence Of tic American Repubhe. lie said that

lAndighsm Outrage that We were all interested
In. When that was 10 lie permitted tho existence
IL the American Union was NJ en- end. lilo ap-
preciaied that we were in a state Of war.
A soon ~ ID. Republican party had elected their
canddidate, hs was satisfied We should have war
Therefore, when war commenced, he had opinions
a. 10 what was the duiy Of American citizens. lie
believed then, and bo believed now, that Rebels
in arms should be put towp by arms. But he be-
lioyed that We should have consideration for The IN
situations Of people In rebellion, and 10 fail 20 have
that confederation was TO intensity the rebellion.
lChesn. When the Republican party not only a.
tempted 10 put down the rebellion by arms but at
tempted also 20 destroy tho institutions OF tho South
and desonto whole sections Of the country, he be-
lieyed that consciously or unconscously, they were
Ihe allies OF the leaders a the rebellion. We, the
citizen, Of the North, understood full well
our dute,-wbat loyalty 10 our Institutions

Stsle snnounced that public man had not the
night 20 denouncc tho war policy VI the Admin
islrAtAp, and would silence any speaker who
attend .d it, the tine lad come for American
citizens TO assert their nights. Cheers. We stood
ON the platform that the Democratic party occupied
when thoy elected Horatio Seymour cheenl and
before and after tho Proclamation Of the Presi-
dent And upon the question of bis duty A. citizen
OF the Union and this State, II by any tumui the
Government Of the country put itself outside Of the

stnt. hi. Commnn r-in-C hef, and the Commander
Ia Chief Of every citizen Of the State outside Of the
military service IL we imagined that by forming
! hostile organizations within the North we should

| We mu., Nil combine TO remove from power every
Republican official, National, State or municipal lie
was convinced o. long as the Republican party re-
NAMED In power peace was impossible. That party
had adopted n policy that would rouse the South to
re,ist the war 20 the bitter end Did they believe
tina! the South would consent 10 have three millions
/ Of slaves turned loose upon them. II We were TO
\ have Union with the South 1t must DO because wo
were 10 meet them IN spirit OF conclliation.
/ lCheersl l. the Union was 10 be restored and the
South brought back, it must be by sacredly pre-
serving tho right Of property IN slaves. lie de-
pouuced the Emancipation Proclamation OF the Pres
