nounced the cowardice and perjury of
Judges Leav;tt and Swayne as infamous.
Mr.. Vallandigham had authorized him to
say that the choice of imprisonment had
not been allowed TO him, as he would
rather a thousand times have gone 10 Fort
Warren than into the lines of those in re-
bellion against the Constitution. Mr.
Pugh concluded his speech by saying he
would listen TO nothing, think Of nothing,
consent to nothing until Nallandigham
was returned to us. If we failed at the
ballot box in October, he counseled free
men to seek in some other and happier
country the liberties they could no longer
enjoy in this. AT the conclusion Of Mr.
Pugh's speech he was nominated as Lieu
tenant Governor, and in spite of his ear
nest and sincere protestations against it,
the nomination was conferred unanimous
ly, and the people carried off the orator
upon their shoulders in triumph. Areso-
luton was passed that the members of
this Convention would maintain and de-
fend the sentiments uttered by Mr.. Pu2h,
if it required every man to carry a musket
upon his shoulder.
The enthusiasm of the multitude ut
this point was so great, that the business
of the Convention was for the time being
suspended After the tumult abated, the
Convention proceeded TO nominate the
following gentlemen to complete the State
