SPEECH OF GoyERSoR BRoUom.
Ats O'Clock, as Gov. BrouQh steppe,
forward on the State House Terrace, n
was greeted With three rodsing' cheer
and expressions of confidence and esteem
OF his telling speech, OF course | cal
give you only the points by telegraph -
He referred to home matters before en-
larging on the political situation, In ordo
that the Copperheads may not misunder
stand the situation. rho'r papers ha,
said good deal OF late about the aloge,
conspiracy in the North, and thoy hat
claimed that there was no necessity fui
the proclamation which he had felt call.
cd upon to issue a few days ago. liz
yas glad that there had been sueh 4
change, and that these papers had been
led.to change their position in favor oil
peace at home. Ii the National Guard
had not come home these Coprerheads
would have had their heads out uf their
holes, but wholesome fear makes an ar
gument for them, and they now cry out
that there is no such thing as conspira.
cy against the Government. Just such
an exposure as been made in Indiana
could have been made in Ohio, and even
in the city of Columbus. GtIa iia
lie alluded to circular recently issu-
cd by the Quartermlstor.Gen to the
Guard, in regard to taking home with
them their arms, and to TIE consterna.
ton CT eated thereby in the ranks of the
home traitors. They declare that tho
Guard are to be called into ,rvice again,
but he assured them that such would not
be the clsp, unless they gave Cause FOR
II, aud then he was sure the Guard would
go as Willingly as Onl hundred days
ago.
The Governor said he desired peace,
but he would crush the rebellion at every
bazard, aud he desired these conspiratcrs
To take notice OF his intention. IIa would
s'e that there was a fair and peaceful
Nlcctiou. .rfr-- r as .b
In reply TO the statement that tn, r.
was no such thing as resistance to The
Government, he quoted the words of
Copperheud member of the Legislature,
spoken at recent meeting held in this
county, as follows: "il any uttenpt is
made Io'lake drafted men Irom your coun-
" Shoot the officer down like dog
They probably wish now that this was
unsa'd,
The Governor then turned t. the great
political contest pst opcncd, which he
soid was as YitHlly important u the cuun-
try us The marshalling OF the armies upon
ahc battlefield. There are two pulitc cal
nartlcs atTayed lgmnst each other; two
