EwING,s SLOGAN.

At the serenade given to Gen. Ewlng.at
Washington on Fri5ay evening speeches
were made by Senators Thurman and PEN
dleton, Gen. Ewing and others. The follow
ing is full report Of the latter remarks:
Fellow CITIZENS: am grateful to you
for this large and fattering attendance and
enthusiastic reception; and the high honor
conferred on me by the Democracy of Ohio,
in choosing me for its standard bearer in
the tremendously important conflict next
October, fills me with emotions of natural
and honorable pride. I have accepted the
honor as evidence that the people of my ma
tive State believe to be, as am, true to them
and their interests. [Cheers. Before the
war, generally Wing and Republican
State, during the war one of the most unan
imous and enthusiastic in devotion to the
cause of the Union, Ohio has since became
the great battle ground Of tho two contend
ing parties. I venture to say that of those
who followed the Union flag during
the war there are a greater proper
ton in Ohio than in any other State,
who for twelve years past have re-
scented and resisted the Republican party in
it's greed of power, in its gross and fragrant
attractions Of the constitution, in its cruel
and shameful robbery of the masses of the
people for the benefit of pet corporations or
individuals. Cheers. That same patriotic
heroism which led them. to risk their lives in
defense of the Union has led them to cut
loose from the Republican party, and to
make war on its infamous system Of policy
which has doubled the burdens and woes of
war.

,, nate for the American people that the 'occa-
sion of the election in October gives to an
intelligent people such large measure OF
control in the decision of great political
questions. It is conservative State-con.
servative, because it is becoming in people
having noble institutions to preserve them
against wanton, ignorant or reckless innova
lions. It is an eDterprising people
The very intelligence Of tn,

It is brave people, and is not to be pu
down by the sneers of the servile and tn.
hired press, to submit to robbery by laws de
signed merely to strip the property of tn,
many and confer it upon the few. While in
tensely jealous to preserve all the results o.
the war, that people have too much dignity
of character to suffer the issue of the war t,
be made mere property capital by any party
and they have too much patriotism and en-
lightened self interest to consent that sec
tional strife SHALL be protracted ten year
after all the settlements of the war have beef
accepted and acquiesced in everyWher
throughout the country. They demand tina
this settlement having been accepted, pros
perity and concord shall return hand in hand
and, above all, Ohio, the first-born of til
struggles of our revolutionary sires, viii
never submit to surrender to any party tn
liberties that were meant for mankind
Cheers.
"But it is not Ohio's battle we are to hav
in October, no more than it was Carolina
at Cowpens, or New Jerseys at Trenton
Nor is it the battle of one political organiza
ton against another for mere possession o
power and the spoils of Office. It is a battl
of the whole American people to preserv
and perpetuate the fundamental principle
of the country, (cheers) fair juries, free bal
lots and exemption from the tyranny anl
spoliation of class legislation. In that strue
gle, fellow citizens, we ask the sYmpath
and support of all men who are lovers Q
true Democracy. It is to be d tremendou
fight. The r epubican party, intrenched i
power, backed by over two thousand nation
al banks, sustained by all the plunderers an
leeches that have fastened themselves upo
the government for eighteen years past, vii

the whole people. They know if they los
Ohio this year they will loose the Pres
