question, by requiring, however, IN tne case
of his proposition, that the people OF the
United States should make a STAKEHOLDER
President of the United States one four
years and non-slaveholder the next,
proposed to ignore slavery as the dividing
line and for the sake of peace and union,
that there should be four sections recogniz-
cd the Electoral College in the election of
President of the United States, and upon
certain questions which might arise there
and in the Senate of the United States.
That proposition was as much for the ben,
eft of the Northwest as for the South and
as much for the benefit of the East and
New England as OF any other section.
Now, / repeat, that my allusioD to these
things is not by way OF defense, but simply
to characterize, in appropriate language,
which | regret to utter, but which, never
theless, must be uttered, to characterize 1t
in language which it deserves. 1t is not
my fashion, in conducting n political cam
paign, to act on the defensive. | desire
General Jacob Dolson Cox to understand
that he can not put the Democratic party
on the defensive. Let him look to the ques
tions which interest him, but our business
is with Negro Equality, with equality of
taxation with the repeal Of the commuta-
iion tax, and with the restoration of the
Union without conditions. These are the
questions which he must meet. And when
he undertakes to steal into Office of Gov
ernor, by pandering to the prejudices crea-
ted by his own party in the last four years,
| beg him to understand he will find him
self mistaken. (Applause.) am here to
carry the war into Africa, (laughter,) and
not to defend against anything. We are
the attacking party now. We have our
bayonets ready for the charge, and you will
soon hear the sound upon the whole line,

My remarks are but passing, and for the
purpose | have already indicated.
PERSONAL To GENERAL sCHENCK.
What other men following Mr.. Cox may
say, especially an individual who aspircs to
be United States Senator in place Of the
present incumbent, is of the smallest CON
sequence. Nobody expects anything better
from Robert G. Schcnck, who knows him.
(Cries of That's so. | refused year
ago, to notice his assaults, and | don't pro-
pose to violate the rule then laid down.
(Applause.)
PERSONAL TO COLONEL MOODY
| am reminded, however, passing from
this subject, Of an incident in the history
OF this State, just now peculiarly pertinent
Among the orators in addition to General
Cox, there is a somebody rejoicing in the
name of Colonel Moody. Whether that is
the parson (Cries Of That's the man. J
and the man who took two hundred dollars,
recently, from soldier for getting him the
postofflce in Piqua, is immaterial. Cries
Of Give him hell. y The mission of Gran
vile Moody on this earth seems to be to
abuse Clement i. Vallandigham, and the
business Of Clement l.. ValIandigham is to
submit to that abuse. (Laughter.)
PERSONAL TO ICHABoD CoRwIN.
The last speaker announced for the meet.
ing next Saturday is the Honorable Icha
bod Corwin Well, | thought "lchabod"
would be written soon upon their banners,
for their glory certainly has departed --
(Laughter) | had forgotten the existence
of this individual. ] beg pardon for allud-
ing to him now, and would not, except for Il
public incident in his personal and private
career This individual who is invited into
Auglolze county TO meet the returned soldiers
men of the 9th, was the first armed reb
el IN the United States since the whisky in
surrectlon; and, TO day, upon the records
of the United States District Court Icha-
bod Corwin stands indicted for the crime of
treason against the United States, in the
year 1857. Applause. He is fine spc
clmen to be brought here to talk to the pa
trots and soldiers Of Augaza county, and
fulfill his other mission of abusing Clement
L. Vallandigham. | defended the case ia be-
half Of the Marshals of the United States,

that saved Tchabod Corwin from the poni- .
tentiary. Not for political opinions; not
for freedom of speech or Of the press; not
for standing by the Union as our fathers
made it-but for disobcdicncc to the law
and armed resistance to the authority and
Constitution of the United States, was this
man, lchabod Corwin arrested. say

PERSONAL To CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
We had rebels before jeff Davis became
the head Of the Southern Conlcderacy. D.
This particular rebellion that | speak of is

was prosecuted before the United States
Court In that case the Governor of Ohio,
Salmon T. Chase now Chief Justice of the
DHi'Ou ''taANoi anu ItttHliD u lbNllNI among
the negroes of the Southern States, a Gov
ernor of the State of Ohio, sent down the
then Attorney General of the State, Mr.
Walcott, aiterward Assistant Secretary off
War under Edwin NJ Stanton, TO defend
the violators Of law and the armed rebels
Of 1857, and to threaten armed resistance
IN case the decision was not in conformity |
with the desires of the Governor and the |
men who belonged to his political parity
Who were the disunionists then? The men
who proclaimed that the Constitution was

nant with hell, or were the Union men the |
Democratic party, the founders of which .
also laid the foundation of the Union, and
whose statesmen maintained that Union in
peace through compromise without public
debt and without direct tsxation, without
provost marshals and without conscriptions
for three and seventy years? Applause,
DEMOCRACY AND UNION.
