Cow. Hoadly opened the campaign
at Hamilton, and made a speech to an!
immense ,assemblage Of Democrats.
The following is a synopsis OF the inn
portant portions Of his speech: h5!I
u The leader of the Republicans of Ohio
has carefully prepared the appeal Of his
party and sent it from the, stump
through. the press to the country. He
waves the bloody shirt; he indorses the
policy Of alienation and hate; he e1iseeks,
to transplant and cultivate in this coun-
tyFthe feelingslof the, English farist9cra-
cyv toward, the Irish, to array SECTIONS
to govern the South from the North as
Dublin Castle governs Ireland as con-
quered province. and oil this in the
grace 1855, twenty years and more after
the close of the war. The average life
of an ordinary generation is thirty years.
Owing to the casualties Of war, which
cost our country at least a million lives,
the duration Of the generation now
passing away has been less than this.
TWENTY-FIVE years have elapsed since
Mr.. Lincoln's election. Five-sixths,
perhaps more, of the men who devised
rebellion, the men who fought Its, bat
ties and the men who overcame 1t, nave
passed away. H The great civil ana the
great military leaders, Lincolnf aad
Grant, both sleep in graves bedeWed by
the tears of the whole nation, South
and North; for both died with words
upon their lips and feelings in their
hearts Of charity to all, malice toward
none.n Seward and u Summer, Chase
and Fessenden, Douglas and Stephens,
Lee and Breckenridge, these are mstor-
ic, not living names. Alone OF the au-
lIthors Of rebellion jeff. Davis survives
