tHe Hon WIN. Allen whom the De-
mocracy of Ohio have resurected from
the oblivion with which he in common
With many other rebel Democratic
ieaders were cast years ago. delivered
speech in Hamilton. Ohio, on the
10th OF September 1863. This was at
times that tried mens souls and thew
were either for or against their eonu-
try. Let rs see from short extract
from that speech how Mr. Allen was
giving aid and comfort to the traitors
in arms against the country. Read Ii
and see il you cannot recall in it the
language OF hundreds of those who are
now bowling about the corruption Of
the Republican party. and setting
themselves up MS the principal custodi-
ans of power to the end, that the govern.
ment may be renovated aud purify
and honesty abound.
.Lincoln has shed enough blood to
hoat the Great Eastern, and how much
nearer tho end does he get, His CRY Is
still fer blood. The administration
stands Oh tip toe every day, with lis
eyes distenaed, and lite arms stretched
forth calling on the American people
for more blood and more money. And
their preachers-thosc Chicago priests
That went TO Detroit 10 get Lincoln !c
bite the forbidden frnit, to commit tht
first acf, the initial sin, BY the pubiica
ton OF an act emancipating the slave
These priests-l would not like .c
have met these fellows, ,hev went
down canting and whining, thcii
months all the way watering for thu
blood Of the people. Every one o,
them thought that God had made /,
his special business to go aud beg
Lincoln to commence the business q.
numbering the Americas people
Coy. Noyes and other RepuLl,cau
speakers report that they i,aye
had the best meetings in Southern
.lhio that the. have ever had. nn,c..
in the isrgest cities. The people ;nru
out. and they listen with avidity and
interest. They all seem to feel that i.
there is that need for reform which The
Democratic and Liberal papers would
have US believe there is. then ths
proper way TO insure reform ia for r
pubtinais to look to the business.
That is it exactly. If reform he
needed, and we never knew the tin.
and never expect to when reforms ar,
not needed, then it is wise as we'll a
perfectly natural for the good peopl'
OF the country to look TO the RepubI;
eau party fer that reform. The ou-s
ton may be asked, why sor We an
swcf FOR the reason that the RepnbIi
can party has made the grandes
strides in reform both in the march to
wards liberty and in our finances evel
Z inadc in the history OF this country o
any other, and for the further and tb
best of reasons that the masses of tn,
Republican party control il, and no
any politician or set of politicians
ana these masses are the patriotic bon,
and sincw of the land which carried
the nation through its great tria! ant
placed it to-day on 8 grander, broader
and tirmer foundation than it ever was
before. These are reasons that Thu
good people Oh this coRntry look to tbs
Republican party in faith for the hes,
administration OF It's affairs. They
have never thus far been disappointed
and We feel that they will not in th,
future so long Al least as the genera.
ton Of men whs saved the country
control the Republican party.
