Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-09-23

this honest Republican party, that doesn't
stand BY Dishonest public SERVANTS, made
him Colonel in the honorable service of the
: United States, and he Is Colonel to-day, or
until recently IR5return Ohe0 became one
of the chief speakers against the Democrat
ic party, and its foulest libeler in 1862
! And so with AsP.S Stone. His peculations
run back to the State Treasury. 1t was
known he was a dishonest public servant,
and yet the Administration through Sal
mon p. Chase, made A.P. Stone collector
/ of Internal Revenue, and lost $141 200 by 1t.
Again, theoIHousezl0f Representatives,
nearly three7fourths of which was Repub-
lican, in 1862. found Simon Cameron guilty
of peculation. They condemned him. They
compelled the President Of the United States
to remove him as Secretary OF War, and i'm
nediately he was appointed Minister to
, Russia. They punish their public servants,
do they? Well, 4 hope by-and-by some such
punishment will come to- us for our good
deeds as they gave. to-, theirs for their bad
ones-that some Of us may be made Collec-
tors o. Internal Revenue because we are
honest, and some Of us sent to Russia for
the same reason [LaughterI1l Here is
Treasurer of State-a man who has been one
of the most foul abusers of the Democratic
party-all this time he was engaged in pee
ulation-arrested for peculatiOn, and now
about to be indicted, and If convicted, sent
to the Penitentiary.-.aisi is the first case
that hasldome tolight. The rest are yeti to
come. ''-'''''''

But the party to whichwe are opposed is
party of despotisnl. / will thank any man
who supports that party if he will show me
one resolution passed by the Republican
party since the war began, in which there
has been, pne single ,de9unciation OF atbiL
trary arrests or arbitrary proceedings
to my address copy of any such resolution.
There never has been protest against a
single infraction of the Constitution by that
party. Whyf because these violations or,
the Constitution, these arbitrary arrests and
military commissions, have been directed
against their opponents. And when the
tables-are turned, and the Democratic party
shall have power, II the rules laid down by
the late Administration are to be the rules
for future administrations. there will come
up howl such as some wild beast may be
supposed to send forth from the jungles,
when smitten% by the shaft Of the'hunter.
1t is the party Of despotism against State
rights. What have we had in Ohio? The
very. first Governor elected after the war
commenced, was Governor who not only,
did not resist arbitrary power in the State
of Ohio, but actually invited the arrest of
one of the mostprominent men OF the Dem
ocratic party, and had him dragged from
his home, and incarcerated in Fort Warren.
Sowith Governor Brough He, in his life-
time; deliberately permitted military eolIis
mission to sit in the city of Cincinnati for
the trial of citizens for two months, ana
permitted another commission to sit in
Guernsey county, to try citizens for oflenses
properly recognizable TO the civil tribunals
Of the land. That is the manner In which
these Governors have guarded the rights of
the States. 1t is not the way in which Cen
eral George w. Morgan, if elected, will ad-
minister affairs as Governor.
Mr.. Vallandigham next referred to the
taxation Of United States bonds, and con-
cluded by charging that the Republican
party was Negro Equality party.
