INSIST UPON TfaE rRlVILEGE
OF FREE SPEECH.
The staple clamor Of the copperhead
orators during their sojourn in our city
was for "free speech" They paved
up the ground with rage because their
mouths were "arbi.rarily" estopped by
the Government, in defiance Of all
rights, human and divine. One Of
these Suppressed and outraged orators
was Mr. Isaiah Ryndels, Of New York
a peace-shrieker in principal and a
bully pugilist in practice. Mr.. Ryn.

Washington under which he spoke at
Chicago, made the following remarks
in his speech Of Saturday night last
