Your great leader boosted in his
speech in Congress, that le voted no dol
lar and no man for the prosecution Of the
wars-- Great applause. He would say,
let the war party take care of the war:
'let the dead bury the dead" With
such a Governor, what wauid be the po-
sition of Ohio to-day4 Look at the bloody
soil Of Pensylvania; look at the pillaged
farms, and the devastation spread abroad
up into the shores Of the Stsquehannah.

sacred as mine; you may vote for whom
you please; have no deRunciation to

don't give this aid and encouragement

now when the country's peril is greater
than ever before,
Mr. B4ough, after speaking of the
grievance of slayery~-that it had educa+
ted wrongly and miserably, prevented
labor and enterprise from building up
the South, that is a curse; &C., made the
following noteworthy declaration:
There grows out of this war the fact
that the political power of this institu-
ton. has got to be wiped out with this re-
lion. You may call me an Abolitiodist,
nyou please, but tell you the political
character of this institution must be des-
troyed. You cannot permit It to exist
in this country, for It Putsiii danger the
very existence of the Government. As
Othello says of Desdemona; RI, e 49,.
"she arst die, else she'll be;ray more men,"
SO this political Institution must be
destroyed II we had peace tomorrow,
and the Union restored, and these men
were TO attempt to thrust this institution
in your faces, you would have another
war in less than six months. You could
not avoid it. l hope agree With my
Democratic brother, on that point.
Laughter, and Not exactly / am
sorry for'it you attempt to carry this
institution, in its political character, IN
the Deanoerstic party, you viii fail, for
il was this that broke the back of the
Democratic party in Ohio.-Pab,scrilc
