But you go farther. You hold that you
are under no obligation to support the cOuu-
try because your party is not in power. Thst
is about as bad as the traitors, and you should
be on the other side Of the line.
A voice-"Why so7',
Because when traitors strike the Govern
ment, and you also oppose the AdmiDistra'
tiou because it is not Of your party, you are
helpirg the traitors TO destroy the Govern
ment.
What The fathers understood BY freedom Ol
speech and Of the press was a fair and honest
criticism Of those intrusted with the Govern
ment. But they did not suppose they bad
given the right to abuse and villify the Ad-
minisiraiion, especially in times like these.
when the destruction of the Government is
threatened by the largest conspiracy ever
known. On this there can be no two opin-
ions; and that ValIaudighau has transcribed
the bounds OF honest and candid criticism 10
one csn deny; and every patriot should be
ashamed of him as the leader of his party
And yet because few individuals have not
been permitted to villify, to the grOssest ex.
tent, every one who supports the Government
they cry out against the destruction of the
liberties of the country. The Demoer acy
once respected Old Hickory who choked down
men in New Orleans for abusing him; aud that
too after the battle was fought and the danger
over. He imprisoned the Judge for allowing
the writ Of ha6eas corpus, and after long years
of effort, the Democracy refunded the fine i'm
posed upon him for that act Douglas led
the effort and finally triumphed after boldly
declaring that jackson was justified by the
law of necessiiy in that case. If Abrham
Lincoln shall be censured for anything ia his
tory, it will oe for having been too lenieuI
to those ecamps. His heart is a little toe
tender. That's 80.
Would you be acquitted by all the courts o
any crime in killing one whom you knew was
aiming at your life? Shall not the Govern
ment have the privilege of even confning OIL
baDisbing those who are plotting for the over
throw Of the Government, or directly or indi
rectly inducing thousands to give aid 10 the
conspiraiors2 If so, you would deny TO the
Government the power of self protection
Some have been imprisoned, and some have
been sent off on pleasure trips. Laughter
You are tolu that you must stop the war

may have been uuiustly arrested and impris

victed of crime And did you ever think o
Overlurning The temple Of justice because the

Why, says Mr.. Pugh, there have been n,
arbitrary arrests in New York since the eleC
tion Of Horatio Seymour, and there will b
no such arrests in Ohio after the election @
Vallandigham. Now what has Gov. SeY
mOuT doDe2 he has resisted the draft. Fl
pronounced it unconstitutional, and recon
mended the people to resist it. Within lwelv
days after that the streets were filed wit
bloody violence, illumed by blazing ediices
and made horrible by the frantic yells of th
mob, the shriezs of the terrified and the groan
Of the dying! The riot lasted FIVE days !
