Quite a number of soldiers were present, some of whom had served under the General in the war against the rebellion, and they greeted him with warmth.

President and FtUow-Citizens: Before proceeding to discuss the important political issues now; submitted for the judgment-of the people, pardon me for recurring to scenes in which a portion of the assemblage were partici pants. COMRADESHIP. This, Mr. President, I rank anions: the happy days of my life, for it has en abled me to grasp by the hand some who were my comrades while battling tor the Constitution and the U nion : to greet and welcome their fathers, broth ers and friends to to this council of the people. . Comrade is a sacred name, and speaks of common dangers, privations and trials, an mei anu ail conquerea in a common cause, and that cause our country's. There is nobond of brotherhood so strong, no tie of association more endearing, than that which binds together the hearts of those who have shared common perils and rejoiced over victo ries won nnder the starry folds of our brave old flag. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. .More than a quarter of a century has rolled away, since I first shouldered a musket and packed my knapsack as a private soldier. And it is with emotions of pleasure that I recall those ear ly days when I abandoned the college hall to hasten to Texas to aid our coun trymen in driving back the mongrel hordes of Mexico -not Spaniards, but a savage and degenerate race, compounded of Indian, Negro and Spaniard-such a race of mongrels as will exist in Ohio, if negro equality be established. But I must not digress, for I was speaking of comrades of by-gone years, comrades long since dead; of Houston and his heroes. How often I recall their memories -those men 183G-7-8 and 9. With them I first commenced mysoldier-boy career I first learned to understand the brave, generous and sometimes haughty character of the Southron it was there the great truth was impressed upon my mind, that " the black and the white races are .from the antipodes of the human family." ' Never again did I expect to crrasn the musket or the sword ; but how little we know of the future. I had become a citizen of the Buckeye State a State which has produced a constellation of heroes, whose brilliant deeds have shed immortality upon our country s name Again the war-drum beat, and the tocsin called aloud to arms to repel the invader from . our Southern border.; ; Again I became a private soldier. . By the roice of . my comrades I was made their Capf iarn, and their soHier-likeJb earing cans- ea me to joe. cnosen ,. uoioxielj of he, 2d Ohio Volunteers.' - A year passed away; battles were fought and Tictories won: and as a recognition of theg&llant s'er- vices pi; lay. vomraues, A waspromoiea to-tbe" senior Colonelcy'of the eight new -.' .--.A -..-- : - W -v - . regiments of regular infantry, mine be- I. it- V 1Kt '' .r.-XrWi S lug tuo uriu. xotu. 4' ... . " I had, been "'oneT yeaf with Taylor; but WaVnOw with Scott: Step by step the veteran warrior drove the Mexican from mountain gorge to mountain gorge, down into the lovely valley of Mexico--the Eden of America. Five bloody battles were fought,' and five victories crowned our arms. , Peace once, more . smiled ; upon . our land ; and, by the treaty we obtained, the cession of territory nearly equal , to the half of Mexico ; and from California alone, we received gold enough to pay all the expenditures of the war, and five us a surplus of more than six huri-red million dollars. ; ..' ; Time passed; broken health caused me to seek distant shores in search of new life and new strength ; and I was still abroad when the , echb"of fraternal war came moaning across the waters. Americans who were in Europe grieved as Americans no where else could grieve. Surrounded by the gaudy ' trappings of Kings and Courts, the towns and cities filled with an armed police, and every society, from the church to the theatre, contaminated by the presence of detectives those suple instruments of despotic power and we all thanked God that we belonged to a Republic ; that- we were the children of Democracy, and that our homes were unstained by brothers' blood by brothers shed. To us, then, the shock7 was terrible, though not wholly unexpected, and in one instance an American fell dead in his tracks, on hearing that our flag had been fired upon at Fort Sumter. I came home, and once more was in the field, surrounded by as noble a band of men I had better say ." boys," but " boys" with the. hearts of heroes as ever faced a foe upon an ensanguined battle-field. Applause.! My comrades were soldiers in the highest, noblest sense, for every true soldier is at heart a aentleman. fApplanse.! . Patient and endurins on the : march, cheerful .and orderly in the camp, heroic in battle, and generous after victory ; such was the character of the men with whom had the honor to be associated; suchi the real type of the American' soldier. Was it strange,- then,; that. I learned to love them as my brothers ? - And I say to you, citizens, cherish - these brayq 'youn me'n, fo'f they are your brightest jewels ; they are your sons and brothers. Bat ail are not here. How shall we speak of the absent ones thoso dead heroes whose graves mark so.many bat tie-fields, but whose names and deeds shall forever live in our hearts and mem ories alive in their immortal deeds alive in the hearts of their countrymen ; and ever shall their, example live to nerve the arms and stir the souls of freemen when danger threatens our liberties or our flag. Then let their names be cherished as was the memory of La Tour d'Auvergne by the grenadiers of France. A score of times he had won, and a score of times : had refused, promotion ; but his proud title was, " The First Grenadier of France." At length, on a desperate day, a fatal bullet pierced his breast, and he died, as he had lived, a soldier. But by an order of the emperor, his name was retained upon the rolls and at every inspection and review the the name of La Tour d'Auvergne Was called by the Adjutant in the presence of the army, and it was the privilege of the oldest grenadier to step to the front and answer to the name, - Uied upon the field of honor." And let us ever remember that our absent heroes they who sleep the long sleep of death that they, too, died upon the field of honor. Applause., V THE CITIZEN ALSO HAS HIS DUTIES AND : HIS PERILS. v In times of political convulsion, there is nothing which so intoxicates the mind and unsettles reason as the exercise of arbitrary power ; it developes the worst passions of the heart, and brings into action elements of personal character not before known to exist. The late conflict has been no exception to the rule, and the Cause of the: Union was more than once put in jeopardy by the violent, unconstitutional and tyrannical acts of those in power. Unfortunately for the country, an individual was appointed to the War Office who has proven to be as destitute of patriotism as he is devoid of conscience. Cruel by instinct and a: tyrant by nature, he trampled the Constitution beneath his iron heel ; violated the liberty of speech and the press ; insulted the intelligence of the army. by excluding from circulation such journals as his caprice might proscribe, and thus denied to the soldiers the opportutunity of foaming an impartial judgment upon public questions under discussion before thepeople.- .

'Applause.-General Cot is ati this " moment military commander in the State of Ohio, and his views as to arbitrary power are the more dangerous-as they are backed by the sword.

And such, my countrymen, is the position of General Cc. In substance, he says," it is true we lost a million of men, and Expended one-fourth of the wealth of the nation; but, what of of that?

V :; .-r :Q MR.' STANTON'S IDEA IS SUBJUOATlOX AND ? ' a ' NOT RESTORATION.- V - " While our young men who" Veht forth to battle were inspired by a pure and lofty patriotism, the 'single desire to preserve the Constitution and the Union, the Summers, and Wilsons," and Chandlers, and 'the Stantons of the North, only regarded tke war as a means to- destroy slavery, without;, caring whether the Union survi red or perished in the conflict. They used every effort to prevent the overthrow of the rebellion until slavery was abolished; thanked God. for our failure to take Richmond, in 1862; and opposed every advance made by the South, to secure peace and Union by negotiation. ' In 1863 Ale x- ander H. Stephens sought , for perm is sion to visit IV ashing" ton' to ileal for peace, on the basis . of the Union, but the President, -over-ruled by Stanton 1 and his adherents, rejected ; every pro position to end the rebellion by negoti ation. .. ; - , - . - . . -a.; i( In the New ;York Tribune, of August 16, 1865, from which I read, in speaking of the propositions to negotiate, Mr. -Greeley says; ; : : -.- . - . 'Had this Wise and brave course (negotiation), been taken when Alex. H. Stephens first publicly iolicited permission to visit Washington, I believe it would have saved a quarter of a million lives, and an awful amount of devastation and misery, and left our National debt a full billion less than it is to-day. " And, again, in the Tribune of August 24, 1865, in speaking of the bad policy of refusing to alloiv the South to propose terms: he says: : - ;. ;' ' P-.-: , j buld have welcomed every over tare looking" td; pacification, andif cdta-pelled to; have refused the proposed terms, would hive shown to ihe' world why;j mnst cfd so. : ; I ' think this course, trisely arid 'studldiislj , jfer-sisted in. would hate heeii worth "ah ar-nrt td the HMiohal tisepind would hate sated a full yeaf of the nar." - -.At the, cutset of the 'insurrcctloli. it was, well J:rowniatrWa fflroclaimed' by ' the Republican -pressi that TWajol4t;T)fjthe, Southetft people were oppdsd to secession. - Wisdol and patriotism' Would have" dictated policy carculated to inspire" coifidenee -in the hearts 6f that 'pbrtiOn of the people who remained lby ai;to ;th Uhionv-randta conciliate all thosawho were not in arc 3r Unhappily, an opposite policy wm adcjK -'4--;-i"--t... ted, and, there"twa? a isettlecl purpose, on the part' 6fHr.
