STAYMAN's SPEECH Stayman, editor of the
Delaware Standard, gave speech TO the Val
laudighamers OF this place on Saturday even
ing last. We ought not really to call it a
| speech, for it was little else than idrgon OF
violent words, hOchpotch of nonsense, a
medley of ranting phrases and blasphemous
expressions. We are really gla6 to learn, os We
do, that many Of his party denounce it as I'M
called for in violence, foolish in conception.

doubt was soothing to his conscience, and made
a little merriment among those of his hearers
inclined to in6delity, but it must have ocur-

I tors applauded his blasphemous expressions.
He acknowledged himself political wealth
er-cock, changing By every wind that blows;
thought he would never henceforth leave the
Democracy; that if they were not right he'd
grin and bear it. He cast his political re-
cord behind him, as be intimated some time
ago be had done, in a controversy we had
with hin. He ignored all the Union senti-
meuts he possessed two years ago, and upoC

the face that Stayman has we wo'd e lery much
disiuelined 10 make speeches in the same places
we did two years ago.
We are not disposed to be severe with Stay
man, for we really think his speeches do good
70 the Union cause. When people see his
inconsistency, hear his ungentlemanly abuse
of the ministry, while he claims the title Of
children of God" for men who are running an
avowed traitor with a view Of electing him
Governor over loyal people of Ohio, they know
that his party madness is only pandering 10
the combined Influences of disloyalty and
infdelity, and that be is incapable of mischief
beyond the circle cf those who naturally in
cline in that direction.
