peace without virtually acknowledging the ndepen-
dence of the Southern Confedcracy. Peace will
come, by and by, from the hard hand Of war, which
will fight IL out. At Nicksburg, a few days ago,
half the soldiers rcjoiced that they to be re
lieved from doing duty in the cause Of the South,
for, as they expressed Il, "The rebellion was about
played out"
The leaders will have to be crushed either by
the hard hand Of power or put in places where
they can do no damage, and the rebellion must be
thoroughly whipped out and peace obtained by
force of arms. Let us learn what is to follow from
circumstances they may arise and develop them
selves Let us all contribute what we can to sup
port the Government in its efforts toward the crush
ing of the rebelien-let us strengthen the hands Of
the President Let us stop our caviling about the
glory which belongs to this man or that man, until
the rebellion is crushed, the leaders in prison, the
deluded men brought back to their allegiance, ard
our brave soldiers are at their homes. When this
is done it will be time enough to talk about other
matters, and settle present difficulties.
During his remarks, Mr.. Brough was re-
pcatedly interrupted by applause, and as
he closed, repeated rousing cheers were
given.
Hon. George w. Jalian, Of Indiana, was
the next speaker. lie referred to the va
rious lessons which the American people
had learned since the commencement of the
war, and said that when the rebellion broke
out we did not think it would have to be
put down by fghting-we were under the
| impression that if we made a few warlike
| demonstrations the rebels would submit
so we raised an army of 10000 men, and
thought we would quell the nsurrection by
a grand military picnic! But we had learned
that it could only be conquered by the IN
relenting hand of war. We had also
learned TO hate rebels properly. At first,
we regarded them more with feelings of
pity than hatred, and spoke of them as our
misguided brethren" and wayward sis
ters, and made efforts to conciiatc them,
and coaxed them to return to their alegi-
ance but experience had taught us to treat
them only as rebels and traitors Yet, he
said, he had some respect for genuine
rebel. When he saw man leaving family
and homc, rislling his life, his property, and
his all in the rebel cause--in short, when
he saw man going hellwards on full
ticket he could respect him infinitely more
than such white-livered, cowardly traitors
as the Democratic nominee for Governor OF
Ohio Mr. Julan's remarks were well re-
ceivcd and repeatedly applauded.
Hon. w. A. Howard, of Detroit, followed
in short but genuine and earnest Cnol
speech. After reviewing the course of the
Democratic nominee" he concluded tha
the loyal men of Ohio had never been fl.
vorcd with better man to oOte dgdinS
than Clement l.. Nallandigham.
Judge j. l.. Green, oc Fremont, closed the
exercises at the Grove by a few wcll-tmeC
remarks to Democrats. lie had been
Democrat, in full communion with tina
party until the fall of Sumter, and he gave
good, loyal and satisfactory reasons why
honest Democrats should not follow the
leadership of Nallandgham and his co
workers-who were bringing lasting dis
grace upon the former professions and goo(
name Of Democracy.

paign has added much 10 the strength o
