Great Republican Mass Meeting in Gin
cinnati---speeches of senators Sher-
man, Wade, and Tha yer .--Startiing
EXPOSE of ths President'ss p urposes.
{CINcINNATI, Septembe r22. The Republi,
cans of this county yesterday held great mass
meetings in the county and city, which were
addressed by Senators Sherman, Wade, and
Thayer, of Nebraska. Their utterances IN
regard to the President are onminous OF
warm times when Congress reassembles.-
Sherman said Unless the. President can
give better reasons for suspending Stanton
than / believe can be given, l will, as
Senator vote to reinstate him as Secretary
of War This removal was simply for polit-
zeal reasons-to get out Of the way aman
man. who insisted on fair execution OF a.
law passed by Congress and sanctioned by
the people, and have no doubt he will be
restored to his office, to remain there until
the end of tile term for which Andrew john
son was elected Vice President of the United
States. 1t was simply because Sheridan in
sisted on a faithful enforcement of the law
that the President removed this gallant sol
der from his command, and sent him of to
fight the Indians. But, thank God, the
President of the United States will learn
that the willlof the people is MOTTO be trihed
with. 1t was the will of the people that
made him Vice President, and when he dis
regards that will the same power will tear
him from his high place as it will all those
who are unfaithful to the trusts reposed in
them"
Wade was equally outspoken, though be
restrained himself somewhat on the ground
that he might have to be judge in the
case, and if he should be would hear testl-
mony lmpartjafly, and give even the devil
his due. t2'l y
Thayer spoke of the strange, inconsistent,
traitorous course of johnson, and of the dl-
rect and active CO operation of Southern
traitors and Northern rebel Democrats IN all
his recent disloyal steps. Mr.. johnson has
issued proclamation, enjoining special de-
votion to the Constitution. He once said in
Tennessee I" When you hear a man prating
about the Constitution, spot him he's
traitor" Tried by his own rule, he is spot
ted all over with treason. Judas was never
more devoted to his master than when about
to betray him. Louis Napoleon was never
more devoted to the Republic than on the
day preceding the fatal night of the Sd of
December, when the light of French liberty
expired and the empire began. johnson
is never more devoted to the Constitution
than when about to violate its provisions.
He then asked for especial attention, and
said: d % t.a'l p1b q
"Ihave recently been in Maryland and
the District of Columbia, having left Wash
ington oily night before last While there
took special pains to inform myself in re-
gard to the present purposes of Johnson,
and obtained what am about to state from
reliable authority. I declare upon my re-
sponsibility as Senatorof the United States,
that to-day Andrew johnson meditates and
designs. forcible resistance to the authority
of Congress. make this statement delib-
erately, having derived itfrom unquestioned
and unquestionable authority. cannot
point out the occasion on which he may at
tempt military force 1t may be TO prevent
the assembling of Congress, or when assem-
bled, if the House of Representatives passes
articles of impeachment, or it may be for
the purpose OF forcing Southern Senators
and Representatives to seats in Congress-
The question may be asked: How can he
do such a thing9 You recollect that six
: months ago Governor Swami, of Maryland,
was elected United States Senator, and that
few weeks afterward he declined, giving
grave reasons of State as the cause. It
was that Lieutenant Governor Cox, of that
State, could not be trusted for Johnson's
purposes. There is to-day standing army
in Maryland, an organized militia force such
as no other State in the Union has, differed
mainly by returned rebels. When the time
comes which he looks for, under some pre-
tence johnson may declare Maryland and
the District of Columbia under martial law,
and call upon Governor Swami to bring
forth his militia. There is nothing will
deter johnson from his purpose except when
the issue comes that his courage may fail
and make this statement that the Ameri-,
can people may know the danger that threat
ems their peace and safety. IF Pennsylvania
and New York give Democratic majorities
in the coming elections it will embolden
him to carry out his purpose, and hope
you, the people of Ohio, will be warned in
time, and so cast your votes as to rebuke and
prevent the mad designs of this bad man
who is now acting President of the United
States. But, gentlemen, let me say to you
that, whenever johnson attempts force, and
orders any soldiers he may have under his
command to resist the authority of Congress
his doom is sealed The fate from which
he has preserved the traitor Jefferson Davis
will then be melted out to him. Aye, when
that times comes five hundred thousand mer
from Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
will leap to arms and tramp the soil o.
Maryland to reach the beleaguered capital
and rescue it from the hands of rebels and
traitors. In conclusion, let me say to vol
who have borne the flag before the enemy
do your duty in the coming elections; vot,
for those men who, by their record, hay,
shown themselves to be your friends ane
friends of the Government. Rally as on,
man to the standard of justice and liberty
and that flag will yet float over a united ant
happy land" 3T sks, 4i4it
