troduced Mr.. VallAudighRm 10 the crowd in
attendance ss a white man and a fearless
champion of the rights Of the people, apd =

Mr.. Vallandigham spoke as follows =.
| He said he was present more to acknowl-
edge the unex pected and enthusiastic greeting
than TO discuss public questions He thank,
ed the audience for the reception rendered
him, and hoped that they would hear him for
his cause, and be silent that they might hear :
he proclaimed himaelf true Union man, al
he always had been, and he intended to be 30
He had differed wththe Administration only
as to the mode Of preserving the Union. De
had differed with them only in his support 81
the Constitution q 80
The Administration had yet to learn thai
there we're two Union parties in the country
if they really were for the Union as il wal
, and the Constitution As it is The only true
unconditional Union party was the Democrat
F, lie party. which had maintained and presery
ad the Union for over sixty years. Tho Ad
niustration must be taught that men baye
right to differ as 10 the mode in which tn
Union is TO be maintained. II, in the.discus
sion Of this question, the Democrats we're dc
feated at the ballot-boxes, they would submit
b. and would require the same Rou their oPpc
nents, if beaten.

i. not what had been said Of him By alyp
