Response of Mr.. vallandigham.

Having been nominated by an over
whelming vote for Congress in Ohio, Mr.
Vallandigham responded as follows to
the speech of the chairman of the COM
mittee to inform him of his nomination: :
Ithank you, Mr.. Houk, most sincerely
for the very eloquent and kindly lam
guage in which you have conveyed to me
the official notice of my nomination
to-day and TO you, my fellow-citizens,
make my hearty Acknowledgements for
your presence and cordial greeting here
to- night.
It is we'll known that the nomination
is not such as / expected. 1t is not what
| desired; and at another time and under
different circumstances, might well hes.
itate to accept By no wish and no act
of mine, direct or indirect, am candi.
date. My position is not the result of
any ambitious aspiration OF my own; it
is duty imposed upon me. l would
gladly shrink from its labors, its vexa-
tions, and its responsibilities. But at
such a time and in the midst of politi-
cal cam paign like the present, l am con-
strained to yield obedience to the EN-.
In accepting this trust lay aside all
individuality. | have no personal claim
upon the support or vote of any man;
nor do desire any citizen to regard his
suffrage as a matter of mere personal
favor to me. / stand before the people
Of the district not as an individual, but
as the representative Of the ancient
principles and present policies of the
Democratic party--as the representative
of not the dead past, but the living pres
ent; Of the questions pending to-day be-
tween the revolutionary and destructive
organization known as the Republican
party as il now exists, and the Demo-
cratic and conservative masses of the
people, without reference to former is
sues and past differences, whether of five
years or fifteen years ago. 1t is not
what was done and omitted by parties as
they were organized in 1854 or 1868, but
what is to be done day, and tomorrow,
and next year, for the relief Of the peo-
pie. ICheers
As a candidate | represent the views
and feelings and purposes Of the party,
and the men who demand that the fur
,her domination of the Radical Republi-
can faction, with it's military despotisms;
its negro governments; its disregard Of
the Constitution; its hate of the old
Union its high oppressive tariffs; its
burdensome and vexatious taxes; its
enormous aud increasing government
debt; its exemption of the rich from
equal taxation; its demand OF gold for
the bondbolder aud paper for the people;
its gigantic peculations. plunderings and
corruptions; and its most prohigate aud
exiravagant expenditures in time of pro
found peace, shall come TO an end for
ever Loud cheers.] Whoever Of either
party thinks that these things ought not
any longer 70 be endured, cannot hesi-
tate rs 10 his vote; for these are the
questions Of the present and the future.

held upon any such consideration, ! most
respectfully decline il II, however,
every citizen is by his ballot to express
bis views and his convictions upon pub
lie affairs, accept il, since you, my
friends, have not deemed me incompetent
or unfit TO faithfully represent and carry
out the principles and policies which are
the issues 10 this election, as have just
set them forth.
As TO the result Of the canvass, allow
me word. You know that this district
was six years ago made heavily Republl
can, as that party was then organized.
But times are changing and election re-
turns with them; and the vote six years
or two years ago anywhere, is small evi-
dence Of what it shall be 10 October or
November next. Resting the campaign
solely upon the great questions which
now come home to the hearts and the
pockets, too, Of the people, and asking
the Judgment OF the voters OF this dis
trict wholly upon them, i have but little
more of personal interest in the result
than any other citizen. But my conf
dence in the intelligence and honesty OF
the people, and in the power Of these is.
sues is very great; and without sounding
manifesto or boastful promise or pledge,
| only say to you that / propose
calmly, quietly, steadily, and with
determined purpose to 90 To work
and carry this district. Great cheer
ing Whether | shall succeed, can
tell you better on the morning after the
election. Laughter. But meantime,
my friends, while you spare no honorable
effort for success, do not concern your
selves about either the idle boasts or the
vulgar assaults and falsehoods and fab
relations of the enemy. 1t is the mission
of little creatures to abuse Vallandig-
ham, and it is his business to pass them
by with profound contempt. [Cheers. ]
As for myself. l propose to deal fairly,
honestly and kindly with all adversaries.
In this spirit / shall, at the outset, meet
the gentleman who is to be my competitor,
and it is for him TO say whether he will
reciprocate the courtesies usual among
gentlemen.
And now, my friends, once more
thanking you for this kind and cordial
surprise party" upon an occasion most
unexpected, aud trusting to meet you
again when better prepared to extend the
hospitalites Of former times, l bid you
good night Loud cheers.
As soon as the nomination was made
known, on yesterday afternoon, the can
non was brought out, and continual
firing was kept up until after the delega-
ton arrived at the residence of Mr.. Val
landigham.

We have now In the ranks Of the Dem
ocraiic party. in this city, men who were
formerly bright and luminous in the
ranks Of the Republican party. They
have become disgusted with the rule
or ruin " policy of the Radicals, and
have declared themselves the warmest
supporters of Seymour and Blair. The
demonstration made by the Democrats
Of this city, on Thursday night last, has
thrown the Radicals into a state Of con-
sternaiion. The vast area ofspace in front
of the courthouse, where an extensive
platform had been erected, was covered
and packed so closely that nothing but
faces could be sseu as far as the eye
could reach. The people were evidently
in earnest. Bands of music, torchlight
professions, fireworks, etc., were in full
blaze. Two thousand of the "boys in
blue !" marched into the city, distance
of five miles, in full dress, headed by a
brass land, and carrying a transparency
bearing the inscription: "Our candi-
dates, Seymour and Blair" As soon as
Senator Doolittle ascended the platform,
grand "hurrah was raised for Sey-
mour and Blair and the Democratic
party. Such enthusiasm never before
was witnessed; and during the delivery
of Doolittle's speech, which lasted nearly
three hours, the vast concourse of people
remained quiet and attentive. AT ten
o'clock, Hon. W. W. O'Brien, the Irish
orator, arose, and was the signal for the
display of the widest enthusiasm. Mr..
O'Brien is the candidate for Congress at
large, and is brother to the ever-memor-
able William Smith O'Brien. AS an
orator, Mr.. o 'Brien has few equals; and
in him in Congress the Irish will have
champion that will do them honor.
His speech at the late demonstration was
humorous, dignifed, and exceedingly
damaging to Radicalism. He is decidedly
the best stump orator ever heard, and
considered here bright ornament
in the ranks Of the Democracy.
At the close of his speech it was mid
might, but nevertheless the enthusiasm
of the crowd was so great that number
Of Irishmen could not refrain from chair.
ing him, which is an old country practic g
at public orations. At IL o'clock the
immense crowd began to disperse, dis
playing the widest enthusiasm in the
interest of Seymour and Blair.
This meeting was comprised not only
of merchants and statesmen, but was
conspicuous for its display of thoughtful
mechanics asd artisans-it was the bone
and sinew of our city-the voters. These
are the men who are determined next
November to remove the shackles from
the feet of the people of the South, tc
give life aud liberty to the enslaved
Confederate, and are determined to de-
stroy the ever negro supremacy, and
will maintain at all hazards that this is
"a white mans government" Such is
the conviction of the people Of this city
and those of the South may rest assured
that the people of Chicago will do their
duty at the polls next November.
