tendance is immense. All preceding Con-
ventions of all parties sink into insignifi-
canoe compared with this. Probably one
hundred thousand persons are here.
! Speeches have been made from almost
every available position in the city.
The feeling in Vailandigham favor is
overwhelming, and no one else is talked
of. There have been no unpleasant Incl
dents. The military are invisible, and
many Of the soldiers in the crowd are
shouting for Nallandigham
Thesexcitement continued even without
regard TO the recess. No one seemed to
care for anything more than the grand re-
suit which will be known this afternoon
SECOND DISPATCH. -. ..
The Convention re-assembled at two
o'clock T. NJ The Committee on per-
manent Organization reported Ex-Gover-
nor Medill, of Fairfield, who was selected
as the President OF the Convention. and
his appearance upon the stand was greet
ed with prolonged cheers. Amos Lyon
was made Secretary One Vice FreSi-
dent and one Secretary from each Com.
/ gressional District was then appointed.
Gov. Medill.- upon taking the chair,
said 1t was the purpose of this vast as
semblage to show thai there is no cowar-
dice in the people OF which power could
take advantage, and to place Ohio upon
/ the same platform with the State of New
( York, which she would have always oc-
( cupied but for the subseryiencv of their
/ State officials Prolonged cheers for New
! York, 1t was the purpose of this Con-
vention to bring back the gallant Valan-
digham, immense cheering and he be-
/ lieved that the powers that be would
| Quake and recede before this mighty, ter
/ rifle demonstration, as they did in Chica-
/ go the other day.
Mr.. James, of bIuskingum. the friend
/ OF Jewett, then nominated Clement L.
Nallandigham as the candi;Iatc for Go
vernon. The nomination was Immediate
! ly made unanimous, amid the prolonged
/ cheers of the crowd The counties were
called, and Eallandigham RECEIVED THE
SOLID VOTE OF EVERY COUNTY. The
/ whole city rang with cheers upon the an
! nouncement of this result When the
| enthusiasm had comparatively subsidized,
/ eX-Unlted States Senator George f. Pugh
| mounted the stand and addressed the null
! titude in a thrilling speech. which was
received with cheer after cheer He could
not be expected to agree upon terms OF
/ peace or upon anything else, without free
| dom OF discussion, which was denied in
| lIurnslde's infamous Order No 80. We
| cannot undertake to decide for peace OF
! war until we achieve our own liberties.
/ Ii Mr.. Nallandigham can convince me
| that we can settle this quarrel. l am with
| him heart and hand; but until we have
heard him we cannot Judge and when
/ the military tell me that he cannot speak.
| 1t is a farce to talk of free government.
| The Democracy are not responsible for
this war. . Our adverSaries are simple
slaves They say the quarrel could not
have been settled. but know that If could.
and the Union maintained in its integrity.
Ihey shall be held responsible for all this
| bidodshed i'll the face of God in the face
OF men, and IN the face of history. They
shall have men and money. all they want
but II they fail to accomplish the restora
ton OF the Union, the Judgment OF God.
OF man, and OF history will be against
they could construe into an excuse for
their failure. If they restore the Union
he was false prophet; ii they fail, they
shall not put ON us any excuse for their
failure, But he would not submit to ar
bltray and tyrannical power The De
mocracy have borne more outrage than
was ever borne by a people before. Ii
they insist upon martial law, if we are to
hold our property, and the right TO pro-
tect our wives and children, at the whim
OF military commanders like Burnside. il
Is time to call convention that never
will adjourn until our own liberties are
achieved. A man can die but once. and
1t Is glorious to pay the penalty of life in
defence OF liberty. L spurn Burnside's
Order No SO. L tramplc it under foot.
Come what will-imprisonment, exile or
DEATH defy the power and its minions.
We will not hold our rights at the whim
OF any man. L may not agree with AIr.
Nallandlgham, but maintain his right to
express his opinions. l will express mine
at the Razard of my life This despot-
ism must be stopped -peaceably, if posi-
ble-but stopped at all events. If we
had Governor In Ohio we would have
been saved this disgrace but we have a
creature, a thing that sold himself for q
great office, which he has dragged in the
dust An honest man can be 'pard6ned
for changing his belief, but Governor
Tod's infamy is indescribablc. He has
the audacity to say be will again belong
to the Democratic party, but if he ever
