HPKKC'U.OF HON. Bo. vvape. 'Mahietta, O., Sept. 24. Ladiks and Gk.ntlkmkn: It is not without great eniburrastueut that 1 appear before such an assemblage as this to speak Upon public affairs. Nor is it often that I Odu is called upon to address such an assemblage uu I see before me to-day. In no other country in the world could such h multitude be congregated together for tho purposes that have brought you to gether. Yon have not met here to make a show, to display your banncru and to unite in an imposing spectacle, but for the purpose of considering matters of thu gravest and most solemn importance. Under what government on earth do tho peoplo assemble themselves together to consider the inoiiientiious a flairs of State. Such deliberations in all other countries are placed beyond the reach of the people who have thought incapable of beiug instrustod with such higher concerns. Y'ou are to-day culled upon to deliberate stch subject as are in other mr- tintlR ullfllniltml 111 K iflrTj Milliulertf nirl' Senators. It fan been held krtit'orto that the people were iucapuhle of uuderstand-i ig these things; but in our country a new sy.iteui of Government opened u new era in respect to tho resource of political power and responsibility. Y'ou are sovereign, and yqu are held responsibe before God and tho world for the Administration and the preservation of this Government. l'KOUD POSITION OF THE PEOPLE. t would therefore impress upon you the importance of tho position you occupy as uihii, as citizens of a great Republic and i s tlift sovereign power of the Government You have submitted to your consideration the most august questions that the wisest end tho greatest of mankind were ever 'called uIod to consider, and of all things it is most important that ycAi come to right 'cjnclusions. I am rejoice 1 to sec such a multitude here before me. possessed as I doubt not, itli a sense of tho magnitude of the in terests involved in the passing struggle. You have befuo you and in your keeping the highest interests of the coming generations. Such h the character of the era in whi'h we are call id upon to act, that it is of tho utmost importance that we are all xmiih t i right ec-rtclusibu", Wheu wo step off in the great u'ruina that is passUg bo-lore w. Tho present mniireut is big with tbe fate of'tha coming time. -and everything great, aiiljunt th.it can concern generations yet unlx rn. ifiticm!'eiit upon the decision we chad iKftke to-lay. Let us all, then, feci that if we do ti it come to right conclusions we must be numbered with the worst trAOirrossors. We iro intrusted HvitX the glial' dship of the rights and liberties of mankind. The great 'Cau of free "Govern uient is no? oil tiial, and if we fail, (thu uopes of tho world arc gone. All eyes are watching us. The minds ofallmau-lind arc Cxedwith iutensest interest upou urar deliberations. I would impress upon cha -peoplo tie great dignity with which die Convention kits invested ilium." Y'ou .r.o the deliberate and the aetors before the world in the grand procession of mo-lneutuous events, that is passing rapidly onward, and now are we to meet such responsibilities as never were encountered by even the wisest masters of their day and generation. THE ENKM V lii IX THE IIEI.K. I would not conscal from you tho fact that our foes aro numerous." Astounding us it nppcars to us and even to the traitors South and the enemies of free govern-.nicnt everywhere, there is in Ohio, a considerable faction conspiring with thctu for overthrow of freo institutions. I do not cliargeso great an offense upon the rank and tile, because fow of thu people whir hare no selfish interest iu the contest would deliberately, and with all tho facts before them, take sides against their coun try, lint they aro misied by thoso who havo reason enough to know that their arguments are illegal, sophistical and dishonest.Tljo great reason why so many arc mi s-lod is because tho questions of .his campaign are of so great a magnitude, that cunning leaders are enabled to' bewilder and delude those who have not been trained to think, nor furnished with the great facts upon which correct reasoning depends. It require! the coolest reflection and the clearest wisdom to enable us to wras nron the wonderful issues is "hull secure the preservation ufcmr country, uiiu advance the highest well-being of mankind. We bear upon oursho ildcrsuli that c: n insure tlie welfare of uubuti millions, and gluriuus will be our record in history if we nobly mi J righto msly meet .1 - 't ! i . . - 1 1 .1. . no rosponsiniiiiy imposeii upou us uy me j item exigences of tho time's. Wc are; made the defenders of Liberty for ourselves, our posterity, and of mankind. To us is committed the great question of human rights and their vindication against us with the full determination to overthrow the liLcrties of mankind. The .Southern traitors are assisted by the monarchists of the Uid World, who ure exceedingly jealous of our growth and prosperity. The voice of the mass ( f the peoplo of other governments is stifled. They cannot do what you and I perform in the ad-miiiistratfoii of affairs. Like the threat doctrines of Christianity, our doctrines go out into a hostile world, and like them are to be pressed with zeal till they prevail over monarchy, as Christianity has over heathenism, ami thus complete the liberation of mankind. AUK AVE niGIIT? Therefore my friends, I would first ascertain whether we are in the ri;;ht. We can do nothing unless we have justice for our guide. J am persuaded that whoever is not guided by eternal justice and right, tnilst fail in the object be undertakes. Above all things, then, let us not array ourselves against those principles that are mightier than human power, for if we do, as certain as light disperses tho darkness, so certnin will tho enemies of truth be crushed. Arc we in the interest of liberty, right and justice, or are we against them? This is the first question. This is not tho day of mere Partisan warfare. N'one of the old issues are now before the people. All patriots have abundant party for the preservation of their government, and the maintenance of the Union. The issues of the present crisis rise so high above all former party issues that it would be infamous for any man to hold on to his party, and let the eouutry die that his party may live. I have long since trampled all partisan warfare in the dust, and am ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with every one who will stand by his country and the flag. I do not permit myself toask whether n man was once a Whig, a Democrat, or a republican, for the only question I have a right to put, is, are you a patriot ? Are you willing to fight for justice and equal rights and to vindicate tho sovereignty of hum-in nature in every one, let his complexion be what it. may? .. ' A BLAMELESS GOVERNMENT. We find, my friends, that our country is involved in a gigantic civil war, such as has never been known in the history of mankind. Why is it thus '! Is there anything wrong in the theory of our Government that has led to these disastrous consequences ? Has tho Government done any thing so wmug that nearly one, half of this nation should uirte for its overthrow ? Is there anything in our institutions or laws that has worked injury to a single human being '! No sir. No oiu has felt the power c f the Government except as it has protected him in the enjoyment of all his rights. Not even a slaveholder can say that any political injury has been inflicted upou him. Wherein has it interfered with him or bis rights under the Constitution ? &o lightly has this Government fallen upon the citizons t out, but tor Us protection, he would scarcely know that it exit ted at all. Its benefi cence has becu so impartial and universal that every citizen has reason to rejoice that ho lives under it. What has it done to any one. that he should seek its overthrow '! Soino politicians tell us that some of our laws have been oppressive to a certain section; that tho slaveholders have endured intolerable wrongs which they could not redress hut by a rebellion. If this is so, then we arc all wrong, and of all evil doers the most culpable. If they have sull'ercd wrongs at tmr hands, and we have refused (o re-dross them, of all men iu God's world wc aro tho most guilty. lint, how stands the case ? This war is waged in behalf of huniau Slavery. This not even a Copperhead can deny. Wo have it from their own words that this is war in the interest of the institution of Slavery. They tell us that they wage this war in order to maintain and extend human bondage. All this difficulty, therefore, has urisen in consequence of our unwillingness to extend that odious institution all over the world ! Arc we to blame for this natural and necessary repugnance to Slavery? Ha-rc we not a right under tho t 'onstitution to believe tint it is wrong? Hut while thus believing, have we abated one jot of their Constitutional rights ? As much as I abhor bondage, I hold myself under obligation to abide by the Constitution of my countoy in all itsguarantics though it sanction the greatest enormity ever perpetrated. From tho timo that great controversy between the two sections of our eouutry commenced, I have held niyself nccountJiblo to you and to God for the manner in which I have executed my trust. 1 thcrofore appear before you ti day to show that it is not the acts of those men who dislike Slavery that justify the South iu attempting to overthrow the Government.AVas there ever a nation that had advanced in prosperity and power like our own up to thu tinm this rebellion broke out ? Y'our government was the boast of every American citizen, wlioin thv fat'c ot all mankind gloried in the institutions j of his country. There was nothing of : which the citizen was so proud as the matchless equiety af the principles of our Governuicut. It seemed us if every, one reverenced the glorious old flag as he rev-erem edghis religion, and I am now amazed to find so many iu our State united with the traitors against it. A voice Damn them. Mr. Wade Yes, and they will be duir.n- d. A voice And dafincd eternally, Mr. Wade And they will be damned eternally, unless thero is something niyst rious in tho Divine economy. Hut 1 will not traduce them. The uroat bobv of tlmm hate been misled by designiug men Rud ars not to blame. Had we injured tbuso men ? If any of them had been injured they have failed to present the particulars in the councils of tho nation, where the injury could be redressed. To justify a rebellion against law, there should be some wrong done by the law. Why did they not designate the statute or tho section, or clause of astatutR that oppressed them ? Why don't their friends iu the North tell us wherein the Government had injured them 1 Havo we done anything against them '! Never. No, never, and 1 will show it by an argument that caunot be refuted. I will try to arm you with some facts that will settle this question. I must press tho inquiry what injury we had done thcin ? I li'ivo stood up in the highest council of the nation, aud in the midst of the Southern Senators and asked that question. Tell us, gentlemen, what we havo done. Hero is the statute book and here is your charge against us. Point out the wrong of the ouo that sustains tho wther Havo we not passed every bill you desired? repealed everything you havo usked ? In short, what have we not doue at your suggestion ? From the time these m.'u actually threatened to break up the Union, to the time when they left the Capital on their mission of treason, they failed to designate any injury we had done them, or to atlord us tho opportunity to repair the wrong. And (luring all this time, they actually had th majority in Congress, ami could have got auy measure asked. We called out to them: ''Gentleman, is there anything we havo done against you? If so, why don't you ask it repeal '(" Sir, they were as dumb as la-laam's ass. They could uot cito us to anything. No act of Congress could they complain of HUMILIATION. Sir,I was in Congress when they brought up tho subject of this repial. There was scarcely a mau from the North who was not amazed almost as much as at the firing on Fort Sumter wheu he heard that this time honored compromise had been repealed. It had been hailed throughout the South with bonfires ot rejoicing, and they had united in the hope that it would puss into sacred reverence like a constitutional provision. And how were we all shocked wheu these very men who got up the compromise aud declared it so sacred, had demanded its reje .l. aud the members from thu South had so far forgotten justice aud sacrificed manhood as to thus pieasj these Southern despots! ! 1 fought it as long as I had breath to do so. 0:hers fought it and we kept it oil for five months. 15ut the fiat had gone forth. The final hour arrived, aud never shall I forget that dismal, terrible midnight when the devilish def d was doue and all this territory pledged to Freedom was doomed to Slavery. How these scouudrels hissed their contempt into our faces after it was done They had humiliated thu whole North once more, aud they added insult to injury. They dragged out an old United States field piece and discharged a hundred guns as we passed out of the Senate Chamber in celebration of our humiliation and degradation ! ! ! 1 never shall forget that, aud then I swore iu tuy wratli that thoy should repent ot it oil did Daniel Webster say therein no Xorlh! They treated us like dogs, aud despised us as cowards. Ihey said that one southern mau could whip seven Northern men. They msisted that the North woulu quail under their threats and give way up ou every qu:stion. Wo had trampled upon our own manhood so often that we had none loft. Did they not threaten to dissolve the Union whenever wo wero stub born aud did uot that bring them tho re quired submission? Did they not get the -Missouri Compromise by sucn threats, and then did they uot get tho repeal of that compromise by the same influence that they brought to bear upon cowards? Hut the people of Kansas abhorred Slavery as you abhor it. They passed the Topeka Coustitutiou a free Constitution. They detestod tho institution, and snaked it out of tho territory. But the despots got up the Lecoinptou Constitution against thu will of tho people, aud by tho most fraudulent means hurled it into Congress as the, orgauic law of tho young State. An attempt was mado to pass it over the heads of tho people, aud they would have effected their purpose had it not bCou for Douglas, liroderick, Critteuden and some others; just men of tho Democratic party, who had already gone as far as they could in this ridiculous, absurd aud stupid work of conciliation. They proved that they wore resolved to carry every measure by appeals to our fears. Mr. Douglas refused to take this last step. He saw that the Southern despots had no respect for the will of tho peopla. Mr. Urodc-ick told them that ho had gone as far as human nature would let him go to appease their wrath. He would unite with the republicans, with Mr. Crittenden, 'and with any just men to defeat this last miserable fraud. And so he d.d, and a measure that would havo disgraced King llomba was defeated. Why it was to bo irrcpcalable. Mr. Sherman. Not even debatable. Mr. Wade. No, not even debatable. And yet some among you were disposed to oppose it. And to-day wo find a faction Istiil guidod by the Southern traitors, who I aro iu tho very act of destroying the Na-jtiou! But 1 thank God that the people aro rising in their might to rehuko thoa'J who cry peaco wheu there is no peace. . They had the Government in their own hands, They had two-thirds of the Senate aud n majority in the House, and could have doue an) thing they pleased iu legis lation. Audyot they stole yuiir ships, captured your fortifications, seized youi arsenals robbed your ctrsturu houses, ami fired upon yuiir flag, not. for the purpost of rodi i-ising any grievance, because thej had a majority and could have peacefully corrected any abuse. J'eaee with these iraitors before they ask for peace 1 ! ATTEMPTS AT ADSUBTMENT. I was a member of the Committee ol Thirteen. It was before Mr. Sherman took his seat ill Congress; 1 waf in that committee-room closeted day after day with these scoundrels. There was Jeli Davis, Mr Hunter, Mr Ticujaiuiu,Mr Mason, Mr Slidell all tho most prominent leaders of tho Southern Confederacy. Nearly every man that has figured iu this infernal treason was there. ' The grunt question was could we not compromise? I asked myself, in Il,caveu's name, what is there to cOmprom ise? I was willing to do right. 1 was an xiousto undo anything Ly which we had injured them, if they weald but point it 0Uj God kuows that 1 would have rejoiced in correcting auy wrong against them But could they name anything in which redress cuuld le afforded.' Not a word could they soy. - The resolutions were at length brought in, and we were told thoy.would hush all the discord and give peucq to a distracted country. I will not stop , to read t'loni' but instead, they would hvc made you all hewers of wood aud drawees of water to the overbearing, overriding intriguing despots of tho South, and; I would have seen them in thu lowest ' hell before I would have voted for them. Groat and prolonged applsuse They had a majority then to puss them, but tho rascals themselves would not vofe Wo asked them if these compromises . would satisfy them? Well, suuie of them did uot exactly know, while others qpenly declared that nothing short of independence would suffice, aud one of them sajd that were a blauk'sheet of paper preseuted us, we would not write the terms ' on which we would remain iu tho Union. Cau any one of tho Copperheads tell what would have satisfied tiiem? Y'ou are making tuch a fuss about tho Abolitionists having caused tho wiir, do tell us what would satisfy them. A Voice Bullets and lead. Mr Wade Yes, that is Uioonly satisfaction that could be rendered, and our soldiers are trying to give it to them. Laughter , Thus did wc exhaust the.wholo limit of concession and conciliation under the threats of these tyrants. -Sicl wt the degree of servility to which they were determined to reduce us, that the noblest of the Democratic party with Douglas at their head, saw clearly that their object was to reduce to absolute political Slavery, and they said, hold enough. But thank God, my btart is not tainted with the guilt of the natii n iu thus extending and aggrandizing Slavery, and bowing to the yoke of the slave power. lut with all that was douo for them, they did not long remain quiet. Scarcely did the public mind become reconcl.d to one encroachment from the rights of the Ncrth. than another scheme of humiliation was concocted to try the paticuce and manhood of the North' In connection with the unparalled outrage in repealing tho Missouri Compromise which they had established, and violating the treaties with the Indians which they had made; they demanded a more stringent fugitive slave law. This was designed more to humiliate the North still more deeply, than to protect slave property. They demanded a law more barbarous in its provisions than any act that ever disgraced the statute books of any nation on earth. Personally, I caro but little about this law or any other obnoxious act iu behalf of the South, for tho progress of public opinion has been such during u few years past that tho bill can do no harm. I could continue to show ynu to what a profound depth of humiliation wc had de scended to gratify the slave oligarchs of the South. But wo need have no apprehension of being compelled to repeat these acts in the future. Beforo the opening of this wonderful era thoso members of Congress and their constituents who talked no much about humau 1 ibcrty, had no scruples about passing an act that ignored all the safeguards of liberty, and by a summary process before a commissioner could doom a freeman to eternal bondage ! NO ALTERNATIVE BUT WAR. Thus it seemed that they had gone as far as ingenuity and audacity could go in advancing their doctrines aud degrading the North. Nothing had been denied them, aud it seems that they had made demands for tho purpose of provoking a collision or ot manufacturing pictexts for rebellion. They hail exhausted their patience with our compliant disposition, and determined to make open, bloody, treasonable war upon us, The Democrats did not seem to kuow what they wanted, but it was clear to iho" careful obtervcr that they wanted a separate government. Thev oeased to make demands. Thu Democratic party would have conceded anything to them, and kuowing this they (oasjd to make demands iu urder to make u civil war, unparalleled iu tho history of the world. To appease them, we began to offer them still greater concessijns. We offered the resolutions of the Committee of Conference but did any onoof them say that, with the passage of t'nosu resolut:ons or tho Crit-tendeu Compromise they would have been satisfied ? I would not have voted for them myself, for I had ceased to bow to the Southern despotism. (Good, good.) I told them, within five- minutes aftr tbe Committee came together, that, as they had come with arms in their hands, 1 would not vote for any measures of conciliation. I told them to lay down their aruis'aud casc thair threat;-, or ihy coul 1 expect no ''on"''.sions from me; that.

Will not sonic Democrat tell mil? Had he been the chuuipiou of a cause ? Had he e ndeared himself to the peoplo by his transceudent lalents and his glowiug patriotism ? Had he any merit for which he was put forth almost by acclamation ? I say no you caunot point to a single act for which ho deserved well of his country or commended himself to his countrymen. He was a very obscure member of the House until treason was hatched, and then he came forth. This it was that commended him to the Copperheads of Ohio ! Before this he was on a level with the great body of the House, like a field of oats, you could not see that his bead was above tho rest. Uut wheu Secession commenced he stood forth to encourage them und to pledge the democracy to resist all attempts to maintain the Union aud tho dominion af the flag. lieu a bill was brought up to appropriate money for the payment of the soldiers, where do you find Yallandighani ? Y'ou find him voting precisely as Jeff. Davis would have him ! Had Jeff. Davis a single friend in Congress what better service could he ask ofhini than to vote against snnplies to tho arm v. nnd thus leave our soldiers uufed mil unclad to starve and die ? And this laiidigham rendered to the , vi service al- i . f i best ol his ability. Not a dollar would he furnish to keep them alive, nor a mau to recruit the ranks. TO THE IiF.MOCRACV. I wish now lo speak to the Democracy here. I mean the real Democracy uot the Copperhead faction. 1 think 1 am liberal iu my proposition to you tj unitcwith me iu upholding the country. I forego all my old party principles aud associations to vote formic who is distinguished for his honesty, but a life-long Democrat. But the fact that he is a Democrat is no objection. I do not stand here to inquire as to a man's polities wheu the country is in danger, if he is true to the flag and will know nothing but the preservation of thu Government while traitors threuten it. He nobly stands forth like thousands of others to honor hisprrtyby coming up to the work of saving the Union. How can you fail to understand your duty, when you see that this war is prolonged by dissensions iu the North? The rebels are encouraged to hold out as lon as there is a prospect of a change of policy in the North. They are looking to the sucess of Val-laudigliaui in Ohio as the sure harbinger of, peace and independence for them. Is not tho Kiehmoud Fuquirer constantly taking this view of the case ot the rebels continually speak of the copperheads as their friends. I know Out Mr. Vallundiglinm says that we cannot conquer the South He had staked his reputation as h prophet upon that, and he has been all tho time at work as if he were determined that his prophecy should prove truu Fvcry effort ut' his and his friends iscalculated to prevent us from conquering the South. Ho says that we cannot make peaco until wc withdraw our armies! What could be the effect of this? Would not another Morgau iuvadc your State and desolate your country? Iiook at his position. I le says, ground your arms before theso blood-thirsty tyrants, und confess your cowardice before tho world ! Behold the depth of infamy iuto which you would plunge us by deserting tho tiine-houorcd policy of jour party. We sent a ship to Charleston with provisions for a starving garrison, then under the Amcri can flag and ou American soil. She swaggered iu into Charleston harbor: they fired upon her, and she swaggered out again. Then they sent up a demoniac howl of defiance against us, and while they still maintain the attitude of defiance do yon cry for peace? If you d a, for God's sake consult the first woman you meet. Great Laugh-cr. Got down on your bellies and cry for peace like a Graven-spirited, chicken-hearted, degenerate son of a tory ancestry. Applause. Sir, I want peace with ill my heart. But before I would have peace under such circumstances I would see the whole continent enveloped in consuming flames. To propose such a peace wu should become a shame, a mockury. a by word among the nations ol the earth! . .My Copperhead triends, lor imd a sake I if you havo no priociplo do have a little pride.

Do you not suppose ,ium .nk fi,. .I.-:. - t that the Copperheads would 'follow )it bauuer? I know that the' stern old Dem ocracy would spurn with contempt such a banner to rally, unless they arc arrant cowards. Could you have b ,single glance at the de- vastuted fields ot irgmia, or ot any other j portion ot that ill starred Eouutry of the rebellion, and seo how that in addition toi ust ot war upon everytlnui? beautiful I in nature, the young men killed off, ..dj widows and orphans fi ling the air wit . doleful unef. you would not vote for such a inisfonune to Ohio. It will reouire an I i 11 . i- ' , hundred years to restore ir"inia to her, i- ,, i r , former condition. Civil war is thu i.reat- est scourge aud curse that ever fell upon any country. The traitors did hot inland j to feel the horrors of war in their own countrv. Jeff. Davis said that if there ; should be war, il would not be carried on iu tbe Southern States, but their army ZNoit,, the Northern States. In this they havei beon a little mistaken, lliey have tried it several times, and have been driven back with the bosom of destruction. Only thiuk of it.

So odious is .'his man will, soldiers i that they would not disgrace themselves by standing by the gaze of such a man. Ask the soldiers what they think of one who declares the war unconstitutional, aud, thorcforc, holds them as murderers, one who was so reckless of the welfare of t lis bravo men in the field that he would leave them to the mercy of tho nudity by furnish-ing no recruits, and to starve by t(t fur nishing a dollar to feed them! Ask them if such a man could safely review them even though invested with the dignity of a chiof magistrate of tho great State of Ohio! That would be a nice predicament for the peoplo, and the Governor of a great people tube in.

But now, whni the old flag is insulted and trampled upon by traitors, and all patriotic men feel suiazcd to find a considerable number that aro arrayed against tho star-gcinmed banner of tho fathers, some how we cannot understand how it is that even one citiroti of Ohio could bo so deluded or bedeviled. I seo a bright concourse of Indies before me. How glad t am to see thcn take such an interest in this contest.
