an Administration HLly described in
recent public paper by one Of its carly
supporters as,marked at home by disre.
gard ofconstitutionalrigh ghtsby itsviola-
tion fpcrsonalli liberty and the liberty Of
the press, and as the crowning shamc,by
the abandonment Of the right of asy-
luna right especially dcarto all free
nations abroad. ] repeat il here to-
day, and will again and yet again, so
long as / live, or the Constitution and
our present form Of government shall
survive. The words then spoken, and
the appeal at that time made, and now
enforced by one year more oftaxation,
of debt, and of blood and disaster, en-
treating the people to change the pub
lie servants and their policy, not by
force, but peaceably, through the bal
lot, | now and here rciterate in their
utmost extent and with all their sig
nifcancy. l repeat them, over all, in
no spirit of challenge or hatred, but as
earnest, sober, solemn truth and warn
ing TO the people.
Upon another subject allow mehcrc
q word
A powerful, widely spread and very
dangerous secret oath bound combina-
tion among the friends of the Admin
istration, known as the Loyal Union
League" exists in every State. Yet
the very men who control it, charge
pcrsistcntly upon the members of the
Democratic party that they have or
ganizcd-especia!ly in the North west
tho "Ordcr Of Knights of the Golden
Circle or some other secret society,
reasonable or "dsloyal" in its charac-
ter affiliated with the South and for
the purpose of armed resistance to the
authorities of the Federal and S:atc
Governments.
, Whether any such ever existed, do
, not know; but the charge that organ
izations Of that sort, or having any
, such purpose, do now exist among
members Of that party in Ohio or the
other non -slave-holding States, is to-
tally and positively false That law
ful political or party associations have
, been established, having as their OBJ
: ject the organizing and strengthening
: Of the Democratic party and its sue
f cess in the coming presidential election
, and designed as a counter movement
to the so called "Union Leagues" and
n therefore secret in their proceedings
: is very probable; and however Objec
/. tionable hitherto and in ordinary
times, / recognize to the fullest extent
# not the lawfulncss only, but the pro
c priety and necessity of such organiza
t. tions-for "when bad men combine
|. good men must associate" But they
: are no conspiracy against the Govern
c mcnt; and their members are not con
It spirators, but patriots; men not leagueC
It together for the overthrow of the Con
d stitution, or the laws, or still less, O
J. Liberty, but firmly united for the pre-
II servation of these great objects. Ther
