He was followed by Mr. Ranney in a speech of two hours. Mr. Dknnisom closed in a speech of ono hour. MR. DENNISON'S OPENING SPEECH. Flf.LOW Cmzxss: In tho Cincinnati Commerced of last Friday week, Judge Hanney, my distinguished competitor, is reported to have said that, in regard to what may be called the linancfal system of Ohio, the difference between the position of that gentleman and that of myself, is this: that I am in favor of depositing the public fumls In banks of the Stnte, while he is for leaving tlenn In the hands of the Treasurer of State, and that be supported the Independent Treasury upon the basis that it assimilated to the United States Trnaaury ayBtiin. I quote from memory In our repeated discussions, lthink I have made myself clearly understood In reference to what may be called prntor mode of collecting, keeping, and disbursing the public revenues. 1 want to ear that t have not Iwen the advocate or any particular system. In my Judgment, theaystem provided lor ny tne uepuiuirnn law or ioou-7 la a aaler ouo than the Independent Treaaury system, and I have given my reasons for this conclusion. I do not propoae to go Into a diacuasion of thia matter today. If you have a curiosity, you can find my views upon It in the public discussions heretofore held between Judge Kanney and myself, linder Ilia Republican law the Treasurer ol'Stato is not required to deposit at all; but under the provisions of that law he may retnln the custody of the public money, the same as under tho Independent Treasury aystoin: and if lie chooses to make deposits ho meat obtain ample security In Uulted States or Ohio State stocks, or, If individual security, it must be approved by mo Aiiuiior ni ntaioann Attorney General. 1 aubinit that the plan ot aecuring and baking up large amonnta of the notes of buiks in the Treasury, as ia con templated, until the year moo, by trio liiilepemlent system, virtually make the banks issuing such notes, the treasuries of tho State. The bills not only of Ohio Banks, but of the hanks of other States are thus received and held, ao that thy aecurlty for the safe keeping of the public money of Ohio, isln a considerable degree dependent upon tho financial legislation and the financial condition of the Banks of oilier Slates. Thus the condition of the Statu Treasury ofobio Is made dependent in a great measure, not only upon the operation of the vicissitudes of foreign legislation, hut llsin the fluctuationa that may affect tho financial world outside of tile slate ot Ohio. Should a general commercial or financial crisis sweep over the land, bearing down in its fury the bunks of other States, whose promises to pay are locked up in our Stalo treasury, who then ia ttie losur ? Again, a system by which any one man has sole control of tho public money, must in itself lie lefectlve. I object to the atanil taken by .luilge Itanuey, when ho asaimllalea thia treasury system to the United States Treasury avstem. Your federal Secretary of the Treasury dials not occupy the eonio position ns your State Treasurer, as to the rustiidy of the public money. In the former case, the revenues aro ileiosited in the bands of assistant treasurers, collectors, postmasters and others, and tho only control the Secretary has over them ia by checks and drafts, which nnirt furnish the liest and most conclusive evidence of the honesty of the odloer in tlio discharge of his public duly; and exposes to Instant detection anyaltempt tnemhoy..lo the public funds; whoreaa, the State treasurer Is the oxclusivo depository of the money of the State, and there is no power to control him, or detect his dishonesty, exeunt by neriodicnl examin ations of tho treasury. Having the exclusive keeping of tne public money, irso dispoicu, he can pocket it, and flee to Canada, and there, Bitting alongside with Ilia friend BresliD, way snap his fingers at any process Irom our State Courts. Another difference betwoen tho two systems Is this: Un-derthe federal system, tho law specifically delinua that the funds received, must la, In gold, silver or treasury notes; whereas, under the Stato sub-treasury system, the law does not specify tho kind of money tube received, hut leaves the treasurer to take such funds as ho chooses. Ho will of course, recelvo In payment whatever money passes current Inbusiness circlcs.at the time, tukiug the chances of tho solvency of the banks, of this Rnd other States, whoau money la laid away in bis vaults, with all the attendant risks from monetary crisea of which I have apoken. In this manner, my fellow citizens, you mako the banks, not only of Ohio, but of other States, virtually the sub-treasur eraof the independent aystem of thuStnte of Ohio. I have aald, and hero repeat, that if this system he the tiue one, it should be so mnilitleil as to restrict the fnoney received by the treafltiror to the issues of the banks of the Stato of Ohio, or to gold and silver. Such will not be the fict, because the Democratic party dare not assume their logical Hisirion under the Independent system of enforcing the payment of taxes In gold and silver, which will lie the ultltnatooperatiotl of that system. 1 cballcngo tho Democratic party totako that position. I am opposed to collecting the taxes in gold ami aiivor under the existing financial condition of the State, and shall continue to op. Hae such a system while we havea mixed currency in Ohio under the sanction of tho Legialalure, as I claim that the officers of State and tho creditora of the State should been-titled to no butter money in payment of their demands, than the jieoplo receive in the payment of debts between themselves. I am opposed to ono aort of money for the people and another sort for office holders. Now look for a moment at tho system of the Republican law of 1 HTri 1-7. I'nder that system, the depositories uf the public money were not restricted to tiunking institutions, as lias been alleged. The only legal requirement was that security be given to the satisfaction, not only of the Treasurer, but of the Auditor uf Stato, and the Attorney General. To guard tho state against tho H,ssIbllityof loss, this security might lie, not merely iiursonal, or upon bond and mnrtgago, but tho pledge of tho bonds of the State of Ohio, or of the United States. Contrast this with the meagre security required under the liuli iendeiit Treasury aystem. Under the latter tho Treasurer and his bondsmen, to tho amount uf the official bond, alone arc resjHinsible to the stato. Under the former, not only the Treasurer and his bondsmen, with all tho sccurltka roocived from the de- fiositories, stand between the Statu and tho possibility of oss, but in caso of collusion or fraud on the part of the Auditor of Stato or Attorney General in approving inadequate security, they and tho humlsmen may be held responsible to the extent of their delinquency. Now, Bir, if twoaud two aro moro than one ami one, then, in my Judgment, the Republican law is a safer law than tho Independent treasury law. 1 do not propose to discuss state affairs at length, but Biibmit a few propositions relating to them. During these discuaslona I have ahown that when the Democratic party came into mwer, in 1S-M, they made promises to the people that they would lessen the expenses uf government, and relieve the people of a portion of their taxes, 1 have shown that instead or lessening the oxpenaea of the government during their administration of four years, ending January, lftoti, they actually Increased the expunses of tho state government one hundred iercelit. more than they were during ibo four preceding years. The expenses, under Democratic rule, also largely exceeded those under the Republican aihniuisi ration during the tour years commencing January, lhTio, and ending Janunry, 18'8. I have shown further that this Democratic piny, although, it came into power under tie new constitution, which pro posed a reorganisation of the government, yet, Its four years of rule ebipied, and it passed no law for tli-i bettor protection ol me puoiic moneys in tue male. During this tlino, Mr. Brealln wna using the money for Ids own Individual purposus; and while that fact was known to the utllcers of the Stale, no additional guards were thrown around the treasury. Had there licen a law like that passed by the Itotiuhlicnn parly ill 18,1U-'7, In all probability Brnslin would not have abstracted a dollar from the public treasury, inn negu-ci io ao mis openeu tho door to peculation; and for this neglect tho Dem ocratic parly aro responsible. An attempt baa been made by my Mend to throw t tin responsiininy upon me minority, in the legislature, by citing their votes against proposed reforms. But this ia fallacious. You can not clothe the minority with a responsibility which belongs to the ma jority. That I am right In these statements, I refer to the tact that air. morgan was aware ui mo uuc-ssny ior reform, and asked tor a law to that effect. Such a bill passed the Senate, but was defeated in tho House, which was largely Democratic. How T By Whig votes ? Here the Democrats had the majority, yet they seek to relievo themselves of tho responsibility by throwing it upon Hie minority. Wo must hold the majority rei-ponslblo for legislation fur sins of omission as well as for sins of commission.The gentloman will tell you tho old laws were In forre, and that they should have been sufficient to protect the Treasury. This Is no answer at all. Suspicions of mismanagement uf the treasury being etloat, they demanded a vigilance on the part of the Democratic party that ttiey would not otherwise bavo been called iikui to oteroisa. They neglected their duty when tin y neglected lo protect the treasury from the plundering oieraiioi.s of JohnG. Brcslin. I bavc s'iowii that Mr. Morgan knew of the fact that Mr. Iliisliii had not the control of the money which the books of the treasury culled for. It was known to Mr, Morgan and Mr. Kdgertou in November, IHVi, thecorres. pondeiice lie! ween tlu-in furnish lug a buwlartiivl'lonco of the fact. But. t he Democratic statu ollli-iitls, instead of making known these l ie's to the people, and taking proper steps to supersede the treasurer by a more In I ill fill public officer, sal - lowed themselves to become cauilbbttes for re-election oil the Demis nilic ticket, liiothiT with John (I. Itreslln. By accepting that nomination tbo.v "aid to the Democratic party, and to tlm people of Ohio, " Mr. Itn-slin has been a f.illl-fill public olllcer, and it would be tor the Interest of lli,i people of Ohio to keep him III til it office two years lunger. Sir, the whole Democratic ticket was defeated that year, and Mr. Brcsllu went out of office a defaulter in the sum of slv or seven hundred thousand dollars. Hud he ru- inained In office two years m ire, upon the ratio of tho preceding four years he would have abstracted three or four hundred thousand dollars more ol the public money. When 1 point this out, lam told that Mr. Morgan is a man of high personal character. I am making no al tack upon his personal character. I am not going to deny that Mr. Morgan was, In many respects, a very faithful public officer, and 1 do not charge that ho appropriated ens del-lar of the public nionev to bis individual uses. But theio was official wroug on his part, lu giving the Indorsement of bis name by accepting a nomination upon the same ticket wih llruelln. So much upon these points. I have taken occasion in former dlaeuaslona to refer lo other mat (era of legislation by t ha Domocratto party. I have attempted to show, and think I have ahown lliut a great and controlling feature ol the legislation of the Democratic party In DC,7-'M, wae its unmanly servility to the people of the Southern States. I havo charged, and now charge, that my friend cannot polntout a single act of the Legislature of 1H'i7-'1H, that was promoted and executed for the purpose of promoting the Internals of the people of the Stale ot Ohio. 1 Have charged that an attempt was made to show tho people of the r outturn States that they could become as menial and servile to the demands of the slave power, as mitht be required by anv aline owner in any state in the Colon It was this spirit that repealed the law prohibiting slave-holding ami kidnapping lu Ohio, passed by tho Ucpublicau legislature, By that law It was assorted that the mastershould not have the right to bring his slave within the limits of a free State that such an act was anact of emancipation. A caso in point is now before the Supreme Court of the United States In Washington, and we have reusou to believe that the court will decide in favor of the right of the master to pass through the free Slates with his slaves. It will certainly lie so II a Democratic President shall he elected In WHO, as was the case of the decision in the D red Scott case, that followed the election of Mr. Buchanan. I charge the repeal of this law, under the circumstances, to have been an Indigulty to the people of Ohio, When the Democratic party came into lower, they reiealed this act without a eingle petition from the people, asking it. And why did they repeal It? Simply to say to the Democracy South of Mason and Dixon's line, "You may rely upon us to extend the institution of slavery wherever and whenever we can." I charge that the law of last winter, which attempted to amend the constitution by defining themcaning of the word 'white" was prompted by the same mean spirit of servility to the South. The legislature haB no right to amend yonr constitution. The term "white" in your constitution has received a Judirinl interpretation, which has been acquiesced In for Hie last thirty orforty years. I have expressed myself satisfied with the constitution ns it is, with tiie Interpretation given It by the courts of the State, I am opposed to your law of last winter. It is a mere violation of the constitiitiua for your legislature to attempt to amend the constitution. I have referred to varloua other acts showing the deliberate purfHise to exert all the Niwers of tlie State government for moro partisan ends, in contravention of the rights of the people as guarantied by the constitution, and in utter disregard of the will of the people, as expressed by themselves in 1Mo7. I pointed out, in this connection two or three of theso unauthorized acts, to which I will again briefly advert. I refer to the attempt of the legislature to divest the Governor ofthe appointing power, In direct conflict with tho purposes of that constitution, as declared by the democratic party in the convention that framed it, when they said one of the objects of the revision of the constitution wari to dives the legislature of the appointing power, except for purposes of organization of the two branches of the legislature, because lliut bod, clothed with this power under the old constitution, hi.d bcome corrupt, And yet, the moment this party gots ii to power, finding that a Republican administration has control of these appointments. It seeks to confer all the power upon persons outsiilo of the Kxecutlve, for no other end tbau that they might thereby promote the Interests of the Democratic party at tho expense of the constitution of the State. I have shown thia to be tho case. In the virtual subdivision of tlie Board of Public Works into three Boards, for the sake of giving to Mr. Backus, the only Democratic mcmlier of the Board, tho largest sharo of the patronage of the canal, thus giving hliu political power to use for tho bonetil of the party. I have also called the attention of the people, of tho Stato to the case uf the lliwking canal, where it became neccasary, owing to damage done by heavy fronbeta, to expend aome aixteen thousand dollara for lta repair, and w here the legislature refused to make the necessary appro-prlation, not because the money was injudiciously or extravagantly exjiended, but because the administration of affairs waa in Republican hands. Yet when Mr. Backus, the Democratic member of the Board, asks that body fur an appropriation of 97,000 to meet his certificates or drafts, for which tbero was no more warrant of law, than in the other case, the Democratic legislature still refusing the appropriation of $H',,("l, appropriates the 87,110 asked fur iiy their partisan applicant, without question or hesitation. I cite these iustancus to give my frieud an opportunity to reply. Fellow citizens, we hear a great deal about the unity of the Democratic party. My friend Is in the habit, as I find all our distinguished Democratic friends are, In addressing the people of the States of talking about tho unity of this Democratic party that the iarty has but one language in every secliou of tho country as tho party ajsiaks in Maine, ao it speaks in Texas that its princlplea are as broad as the Union and the Constitution, whereas the Republican principles are local and sectional. I want to call his attention to the resolution of tho last Democratic convention of Ohio, to allow where this unity la-glna and ends. The ninth article of the Ohio platform reads as follows : '11. Ifsni'fii, That tho vigor and efficiency of the Administration, manifested in the adjustment of our dilli-cultles with Great Britain, in regard to tho right of search; in the prompt and successful redress of wrongs indicted upon us by the government of Paraguay; the decisive suppression of the rebellion In Utah; In the enforcement of the neutrality laws; in tho impartial execution of the acts (if Congress for tlie suppression of the African slnvo trado, and for tho rendition of fugitive slaves, commands our cordial approbation, and we have full confidence in Its ability and inclination to protect tho rights of our citizens ati'l uphold tho honor of our flag." Here is the resolution of the Democracy of Ohio, in convention assembled, approving tho foreign policy of the administration; hut looking over that resolution you find not one word in favor of its home policy. You llnd, whilo they speak favorably of what has been dono outside, they have not one word of comfort for Buchanan for what he has done within the limits of the ITnited States. Here Is another resolution passed by the lato Now York Democratic Stato Convention : "Moreti, That tho Administration of James Buchanan, elected at a crisis in which not only the trnditional principles of Democratic government, but the integrity of the I'nion Itself, wore threatened by powerful sectional combinations, has justiffcil, by its action and by the wisdom and patriotism which havo characterized its domestie and foreign policy, the choice of the Domocracy and tho ver dict of the nation.' Here, sir, is tho New. York Democracy Indorsing not only tho foreitrn, but the domestic policy of Mr. Buchanan. I want any friend to say whether ho stands iiion Democratic principles as proclaimed in New York, or as proclaimed In Ohio. I want to know whether the Democracy of New York is the same as that of Ohio, whether the action of the present Administration, in its protligato expenditures of the public money is approved here In Ohio, as well as in New York; nnd whether it is here considered Democratic to force a constitution upon tho people of a new stato against tho will ofthe jieople doclared by ten thousand majority; nnd whether he approves of that Presidential dispensation by which some of the most prominent Democrats of the Union have boon driven from tho palo of the Democracy? I want some practical Illustration of this lioasted universal unity ofthe Democratic party. I want to know whether wo havo a Democratic pnrty in Ohio, as one distinct organization, or whether It agrees with the liemocrn- cyof New York, in sustaining the domestic as well as the foreign policy of Mr. Buchanan; and I therefore put tho question to my friond, knowing well that he will take great pbasure in replying, when lie takes the Btand. I have but a few iniuiitealeft of my allotted timo. I had hoped to have covered the ground in a shorter apace. It has devolved upon me tocnll my frleud's attention to cot-tain questions affecting the condition of our territories, in respect to what Is called the slavery question. I nut this Interrogatory to tho gentleinnn; "Do you deny tho right of tne aiavaiioiutT to taae slaves into tlie territories and bold them thereas property?" He sava, "Without the protec tion of territorial law, I deny It." Will the gentleman tell what he means by a territorial taw? I want to know of him, whether the territorial legislature has tho power, and whether the organic act of a territory, as an organic act, has any provision iu ll, not in pursuance of the Constitu tion of the United States; and whether, when he siieaks of a territorial law, ho is uot speaking of a law of the Consti tution? I want him to tell me whether tho Constitution dues, or dooa not, carry slavery into the territories, and whether or not tbeonly power conferred by Congress is tho power coupled with tho duty of protecting slavery In the territory? 1 want to know what the gentleman means by territorial law.' is it simply what tho Supremo t'ourt has decided that the law ofthe Constitution is, that the slave holder has a right to take slaves into the territories and hold thorn there; and that it is the duty of Congress to pass such laws as will protect the slaveholder in his rkhttu his alares? I want thu gentleman to come up and put himself uirectiy on, or else get illrcctly oil, the Dreil tscott decision. Duos he deny or affirm that the territorial ieelilature msy exclude slavery that la, property by law; or allow persons to ne urougnt in as slaves 7 t want the gentleman to any what lie means bvaaying that tho territorial legisla turehaa power to control it to any whether he means that the territorial legislature bus the right either to prohibit slavery from coming into the territory, or the right to ex clude it when once established iu the territory; whether the legislature lias tne right to impair the value or destroy the right of property In slaves? I know very well it is verv commonly said that the territorial legislature has the right to exclude slavery from the territories, but Judge Kanney tiua not aaut ao, anil I desire now to give him an opportunity to say whether this can lie dune under the law, as he understands It. 1 know that Mr. D uiglaa, in hia Freeport apeech last year, aald that It had thu power to exclude slavery; but he has not aaid so slme. Judio Doiigias now says tho territorial legislature baa no power over alavery except to control it, and Unit nobody has dreamed of congreasinnal protection. 1 want to know of my friend whether, by the term "legal control," Is meant tbat the legislature has power to exclude slavery frum the territory? And then, ill that connect ion, with a view of ascertaining what is precisely his position on the snhje-ct, 1 will call the attention ol the gentleman to these three oilier quest ions: 1st. Has the territory any legislative power except that conierreti ny umgressr lid. Can Congress confer any such power not clearly vest ed in it by the constitution? .'I-!. Can Congress delegate any such power to a territory, which It cannot Itself exercise? 1 desire also an answer to these questions. 1 want the gentleman to answer, do you affirm or duliv: 1st. Is the right to property in slaves expressly stlimied In the constitution, and If so, to what extent? 2d. Diies tho constitution make any ditfeience between slavo property lu a territory, ami any other description n propertv? .id. tins congress a greater power over alavery in a lar, rnory man ovur any inner prop'Tiy.' 4th. Has Congress any power liver slave properly In territory except tlie power rouplcd with the duty of pro- lerting me owner lu tits rulit losui'li properly.' I want the gentleman to ausiver Ibis further question: Has Congress the power to prohibit the importation n slaves taken without the limits of the I'tiited States Into territory, and If so, from v. but clause of the constitution d 'S it derive Its aiitlioritj? I request a(ieelllc answers In these queatlona; and aa this is tlie iast of the aeries of ill-cii.sions Isdween Judge Run-ney and myself, I denlrea settlement ofthe points Involved lo duy. 1 would be gralitieil to have bis views, as tho rep. ri'seinaiivo of the Denui'Taili' party of Ohio, upon Ibeso questions, which in my juilnnient are among the greatest iu luipoiiunrii over aiiliniltleii to uie pie oi tins country. For, I say to you, my fellow-citizens, that If tho doctrine maliitalnid by the' Supreme Court of the United Slates In the Dred Scott ease, Hull th" Constitution curries alavery into the territories, ami that the territorial legislature iuia no power to exclude It, and that slavery exists wherever It Is not prohibited by law If that be Hie doctrine, and if the adiniiilsirallou ofthe uovemnient is to be conducted upon this principle, and If slavery Is to be coextensive, not only within the limits of our terrTlnrfes but, extended beyond tho bounds of those territories, you will have In time a country Hint you havo no longei a right to govern you will have a slave governmont to all intents and purposes. It will be lu the hands of those who favor the peiaitiiatlon nf slavery In Ibis country. I desire tho gentleman to deny or alllrm tbenropoaltlona I havo aiibmll ted, lo the end that th people nf Ohio inny know precisely where Ibo Diimocrallo parly stands upon thesogroet and Important Issues before the people of the whole country. As to Hie pusltlon of tha Republican party, every hodv kuowa where wo stand. Wo stand upon tho platform laid down by th" fathers of the republic. We say that slavery exlata only by virtue of local laws and that slaveholders havo no rights at slaveholders, outside those States lu which It Is recognised by law, except In regard to the recapture uf escaped slaves. We say that the territories are free, and that tho Constitution Is a freedum-extendlng Instrument. It was universally recognized as such for the Mist sixty years of our national existence This Constitu tion gives all men freedom wherever freedom is not In conflict with slavery in the States where tho latter exists by positive law, Thia is tlie doctrine advaoated by my friend ten ureleven yearn ago. I will bavo occasion, to show you Republican principlea by reading to you a portion of my friend's Utter, in my closing remarks. JUDGE RANNEV'S SPEECH. Mr Pillow Citizihii I shall b obliged to engage your attentlou for some time in answering the positions taken by my friend, and in slating the principles and measures of the Democratic party, which have been drawn In Isaua In this campaign. I shall endeavor to dlscbargs my duty to the party which has placed me in nomination. I have no ambition and no capacity fur being a stump orator. If 1 can succeed in stating the gruund upon which the Democratic party stnuds, 1 shall bavo discharged my duty to that party. I wish to make one explanatory remark. I shall confine my observations to the principles of the party as announced in its pisiform, having no right to bring new principles before tho (Hiiiple of the State of Ohio. I will give, then, the rjasnns upon which those principles are founded. Your attention has beencnlled to sundry matters of State concern. Some uf these I have bo often answered, that I need not go at length over t e whole ground; and I refer you to what has already been said and published. One great matter my friend has attempted to fasten upon tlis Democratic party, malfeasance In regard to the safe keep. lug or the public runils, 'ri.l. .,l ennonrn This question concerning the custody of the public mon eys is one of the most Important issues before th people of tills stale. I pmposo tu notice the positions wo occupy, and tlie position I understand my friend to have occupied heretofore. I believe there can bo little difference lietween us. Is It either the system of Hie Democrat lo party, or the system of the Republican party to deiosit with corporations or with Individuals? I have said in his presence precisely what I will now stale in your presence. We, the Democracy, stand distinctly in favor of the IndcfHWdont Treasury 'law enacted by tiie last legislature. 1 believe it is the utily system of keeping tbs public moneys safely. My friend in hissieoch in Warren county, said tlie Kelley act embodied ihe most perfict system. This actauthorized the slato treasurer to depoeit money with individual who bad given bond to the Auditor of State, ami Attorney General. This took effect in lHod. 1 understand my friend now to say ho Is in favor of no particular system. We have got to have revenue tu cany on our government, and to pay the Interest on the public debt. If it bo now Bald lis ia in favor of no particular system, he stands In the position of tlie Republican party In some parts of tho stato, which is no poeition at all. I shall refer to the deposit system and to His Independent Treasury system. The interests of the people of the State, and the Interests of Justice, till require that the people of Ohio should stand by this Independent Treasury system. 1 do not any, in respect to thia law, that every part nf it is perfect, ll would be singular, Indeed, If this was tho case. I speak of the principle tiMin which it is founded. This, then, la the difference between u, as I understand It. I am allirnuitivuly iu favor of the Indeien-dent Ticnsury aystem. The gentleman la against the system, and In favor of no system for Ihe safe keeping of the money of th people. This Independent Treasury system provides that the money secured fur the support ofthe schools and benevolent Institutions, and for tho public debt and accruing interest, shall be paid over Into the State Treasury, and there it shall be kept by tha officer having it in charge, without the ability to nse it in any way whatever. It shall so remain, until disbursed according to law. It Is necessary, in onlcr to understand the benefits and workings of ilils system, and of the opposite system, to go back to the history of the plan of depositing the pubiic funds with other parties. In doing this, I shall necessarily call attention to various matters to which my friend has alluded. Although the attempt is made to auddlo the Democratic party with the defalcation, I will show that we havo had three defaulting state treasurers in succession, for two of whom the Demo-ocratic party Is not responsible. Mr. Bliss', wlmsu termof office expired In 18W, turned out to be a defaulter for ono hundred thousand dollars, sixty-five thousand dollars of which was provided for hi a way I shall call your attention to. (.'ion his second election be nimie arrangements with bankers to go his security upon his official bonds. The President of the Clinton Bank, on bring examined be. furotlie Investigating Committee, tellsthe reason. Forde-posits made therein by him, as Treasurer, Mr. Desbler gave liim an instrument of writing. Further, as ho supposed, them was an understanding that a certain amount of Interest was to be paid. Tho Bank refused to pay tbe amount. I believe it bus never liecn (mid. I deslro to cnll your attention to another feature of tills arrangement. He got his security by pledging the money of the tcoplo to bu nsed by those banks whose officers pledged themselves to go his security. Ho not only made use of this money fur his own lienetit, but speculated In Iota in this city and elsewhere; and when Brnslin took his office in January, 1H"i2, Mr. Bliss was found tu be a de fainter. Instead ol Uatniing over to nil successor in outre tbe money belonging to the treasury, ho handed over a hundred thousand dollars of defalcation. Then Breslln never came into possession of the funds in the hands of his predecessor. When ve are talking about this, let us ook at what men iranspireii. lining wnen we long at the tacts lu regard to this matter, we will find that although Brraliu was In great fault, it was occasioned by the defalcation of his predecessor In office. Instend of saying 1 have not got the money, tor my predecessor is in ne. fault," Instead of saying that, he, by an arrutipmcnt of pledges and sureties, went lo wora auu covurou up tne ae- tulcntloll ol ins predecessor. My friend, as attorney ana tnistee ot the panics wno were liable on the official bond uf the treasurer, was acquainted with .tlie circumstances of this trniisuctlon. It was known to a certain number of persons, when Breslln enmo into office, that iustead of his predecessor turning over the money, he had turned over a hundred thousand dollars ol defalcation. By some arrangement, tho amount of sixty-five thousand dollars was paid by Bliss' bondsmen, but this was not In money, but in checks payable in two years without interest, the money having been raised to meet tlis current cxiwnses of the year. My friend says certain officers of State knew before tho expiration uf Breshn s second term or office, that be was not meeting the iiiiblio expectation. I'lem tho coming duo in New York of the semi-aunual payment of interest, Mr. Morgan wrote to the other fund commissioners that Breslin had lust informed him he might bo In default in getting New lurk exchange io mooi me inroresi. 'i nai is mo wuuio sum and substance of the knowledge tbat the gentleman pretends Sir. Morgan had. Now, that Mr. Morgan had suspicions, at leiist, that Breslln had boon dnjiosiitng the pillilic funds in uinercni quarters, more can no mi io uoudi, But Mr. Moruan had done more than any uthor man to se cure a remedy for this. He appealod to tbe legislature for an act placing tho Auditor of State iu connection with the Treasury. Mr. Morgan, lieing one of the Fund Commissioners of lso-', reported the liiots which we hare discussed, to the people, Here the speaker read an extract from Mr. Morgan's re, nort.l Hero you havo tho statoment nf tho Fund Commissioners In 18.V2, calling tbe attention of the legislature to the fact tbat the present Treasurer of Slate had lieen duilig as his predecessor bad done, and calling upon tho peopto to rerae dv the evil. What was tho consequence of this appeal ?- Au act was brought into tho legislature and passed one branch of Ibat body, against the vute of tlie Republican members. It failed to pass the Honse or Representatives, all tho Republicans vutitig against it. My friend says we aro responsible for having failed to pass a law protecting the public moneys. If Ibis is the doctrine, you had liettur keep tho minority memliers at home. No man Is exempted 4, from responsibility. It may bo these members voted under Pthe supposition that no legislation was required. Tlie fact uf the defalcat ion was never known until recent disclosures and investigations. My friend says we did not pass a law for the protection of tho treasury. Hewasonco a memlaT of the Senate, ami is n financial man, too. Iftherewasso much need of placing safe-guards around tlie trensury, why did he not provide a system then? If he, with his financial knowledge stood in that position theu, other iwrsons, less intelligent, tiiignt iiihik as ne inn. I have shown you that tbe Democratic Fund Commission ers did call the atlenllou of tho Legislature, in IHTci, tn th necessilv for suih a law, and mat the Democratic party, such, undertook to pa-a a measure of thai kind. and that it would h.ne passed, could it have received a very few votes from the opposition pari) in one branch ofthe General Asseintily. 1 now projaise to call your attention to a brief histurr connected with 'tie deposit of tho public funds. I my humble Judgment, this matter of the treasury defalra, tiun will be of aotno service to the fieople of the state now, ns it mav afford them in future valuable exHiricnco relating to the best way of keeping the public money. Again, 1 would remind you of tlie fact that before Broslln had taken possession of hla office, Senator Chaae wrote him from Washington, Baying that the City Bank of Cincinnati would be a safo depository of Iho public funds. Breallu went and put morn or leaa money there, and In a few monlha the bank ausandcit, and you have now eighty thousand dollars permanent ly invested In that Institution. Let me do Gov. Chase justice. I do nut suppose that ho knew that Institution was to blow up. Hut Mr. J! orpin knew, did lie, thnt Mr. Broslln was depositing money with the Hanks? If he kuew It, Gov. Chase know It, for bo advised bim to do it. Tlie President of the Marlon County Bunk comoa down he's to advise with his friend w hat to dowith the public money. He arranged with Breslln that deposits should ho made In tho Marlon County Batik. Brcslin was to receive four per cent. on money deposited there. Two hundred and thirty-one thousand dollars went from the Treasury, first Into the bauds of Bowen, and next into the Marion County Bank, upon which Brusllu was to receive four per cent, interest. The Republican parly afterwards elected this man to the Supremo Bunch of the State of Ohio. But lloweu's banking schemes were not cuntlned to Ohio, Ho went to Indiana, and set up banking there. There Is another person still, a man by the name of Gibson, who was elected to succeed Brealtn,'bis brother-in-law and personal Iriend. Gibson, as soon as he was established in tho Treasury ollico, combined with him tu buy up a bank In New Jersey. It ground out llfly thousand dollars id our public moiicv. Hrcnlin lent to Gibson, to buy up the Sotieca County Bank, filly thousand dollars, and from that moment the Seneca Cuiiuty Bank became emphatically the treasury of tho State of Ohio, In the faccof all these facts, the Republican party hold up W in. D. Morgan us one of those chielly to hlanio for not having taken better care ofthe people's money. They lindeciaKn lo say ine money waa not lu tha treasury nftei Breslln went out of office. Anv body can toll when the mon ey left the trca-ury. Afiur Gibson bud taken possession uf nis oinee, ami ine iveney law had gone Into lull effect, Mr, Kelley w as appointed to investigate and see whether all tho money was there. .Ho reported It all fhero. That aama legislature appointed several rommitteea to ait during recess, line was ine amellllig committee ot Ihe trensnry, with Robert W. Taylor ns Its chairman. Ho absolutely gained the vaults, and reported that the money was ail mere, it them reports were true, then llreslln handed tho money over to Gibson, what excuse now? It Is tbat Glh, son had gono to work and binned of these Banks, and deceived these committees with Iho belief that tlis fuuds were there. If the banks thus colluded with the treasurer to deceive the cumniltteea, and tomable him to cover un this defal cation, 1 beg to know what claims they have tn become the recipients or depositories of the public moneys? Wo have met with disaster and loss from this system of depositing wnn lianas, aim an long aa wo allow treasurers lu deposit with these Institutions and to receive individually the In terest theruon, wo will continue to incut wth disaslur and loss. Hut wo have had experience In another avstem. Mora than twenty years ago the Independent Treasury law of the Lulled males waa Inaiiguraieil. We met with all the opposition tbat could be Imagined. Administrations have gone up nnd gone down, and thia svstein has clorlou.lv fulfilled all that waa predicted of it; and now no man pro poses au abandonment of this system. We havo tho experience of both systems. On the one hand there has been corruption and crime, from beginning to end. On Ihe bluer, nut a dollar loss to the treasury, I do not pro, to occupy your time lung uikiii this subject, sir friends. but It is an important subject, and I trust you will think upon It. Sly friend says tlis Democracy repealed tna law prevent ing slaveholdlng In Ohio. I supposed, however, we had bean guaranteed against slavo ioiuitig in Ohio, with u I this law. Theold convention nut the restriction Into tho constitution of tho State, and said tnsre should be no slavery in the Slate. Th convention which rovised lb con. tltutlon In 1HM, put into tbat Instrument tho proviso tbat there should be no slavery or slaveholdlng In Ohio. My friend says slavehohlsro will come here and bring thsir ne groes, and tells you st the same thus, that th moment they come upon our soil, that moment they emancipate their slaves. My friend would do well to stick to that doc. trine. If tlis constitution gives thia right of emancipation, I beg to know If you are going tnreHtnllt by repealing an act to prevent alavebolding lu Ohio. The next thing is tho arrangement to prevent negroes voting in Ohio. Tho constitution confines tho elective franchise to white persons over twenty-one years of age tho old constitution finding this provision to exist In tho institution of the United States. The Supreme Court Is authorized to determine questions arising out of the eon. slltiitlon and law of ibo United States, It has held that black is nut white, and that h mulatto Is not a white man. This franchise Is confined to white tnea and citizens ot the United Stntoa. The negro haa licen declared not to to a citizen. What has tbe Legislature done? Finding that the constitution was disregarded in various parts of the State, they wont to work and provided a penalty against town- hip boards who received votes of this kind, w hen my rleiid savs tills question was passed undsr Judicial review. he waa mistaken. The Legislature was ontlrely right In saying the mulatto Is iota white citizen ofthe Uulted Status. Mv frieud complains that I do not answer his Questions. now ask him whether bo holds thut the constitution of Ohio dtsis allow mulattoes and persons of African descent to vote in this Slat. If not, then the law Is right. There are various other questions of stato concern alluded to by bim. but f shall not expend moro than a word In an. sworing them. In the first place, it ia aaid tbe memhera of the legislature tried to invest the Governor ot the appoint-ingpower. Iasy theconstlliitiondoesnot allow tbs Governor to make these appointments. My friend, when ho la talking about partlzau acts, should remember the case of our benevolent Institutions in leoti. liirse were men lines! by officers from the Democratic party. The Republican party came up here with a swarm orofflco-seekers, and ll is Known to you all, ttiey repealed every law organizing tnose Institutions, and reenacted the laws, and put their own officers into those institutions. I am opposed to this attempt to strike down our lienevolent institutions and penitentiary, for the lake of tilling the ulHces connected therewith with nartizsns merely. Now, my friends, 1 come to consider other questions con nected wiih the issues of the day, and fiorhaps of moro im- portance. Although State elections determine nothing in reepeot lo thorn, nevertnoiess iney are important qiiusiiona to tlie ih'upIc ol tne state, as my irienu uaa culled my at tention tu one or two things, I will attempt to answer him now. Oneis as to the ninth resolution of our platform, and auothor a resolution of tho Democracy of New York. stand here to approve of thu Democratic platform or Ohio, and to approve oi it in lull. It lie wants in Know ruy opinion nf Mr. Buchanan I will tell him. I did all I could lo elect him to tho Presidency; and although I do not agree with hitu in everything he has done, 1 bellev he has Iwen prompted by putriotic motive. I can refer to nothing now that I did not approve, except the sending ack of tho Lecotnptoft constitution. 1 differed wiiti Mr. Buchanan upon that aubject; but nevertheless did not impeach his patriotism at all. Although 1 stand here approving the Democratic platform, yet I hold that every man ha a right to decide what lavs be will approve. We are not mere slaves tu submit to whatever otlice.holders mav do. I stand here as the representafatlvo of the Democratic party, and 1 am bound In honor and honesty to oxauitne its platforms and principles. I now present them to the freemen of tho slate, and ask for them their approval. Pon this sub ect of slavery thore are two distinct issues between ns and the Republican party. The Arst relates to what shall be done by Congress in respect totho government of the terrltoriea, arid whether slavery shall be prohibited or held therein. The other affirms that nothing at all shall lie dune by Congress. The Democratic party, in their national platform at Cincinnati, affirmed tho latler. The lemocralic party or Ohio has laid It down as ine great irincinle of the party of tho stale, I propone to refer to those principles, in order that yuu may see how we stand. It all comes to this that In organizing tlie territories of the United States, it is Ihe duty of ('engross not to interfere with that question, but to leave It to tiie people of the ter ritories themselves. What Is the doitrine of our Republican odvorsarles 7 They say that Congress haa sovereign power over the terrt- ries, and ought to exercise this power In proniiming lavery thorelu. It will Ins seen they Btand upon the same iriticiples of our extreme Souihorn friends, who say that CougrcBs ought to allow, maintain and protect alavery iu the territorlea. Tlie liemocretlc party standa equally op posed to taith these extremes, and says that slavery Is a mattor of domestic concern, and that C'ongroae has no power under the constitution, and no right to Interfere one way or the other wnn me people ot me territories. wow, our wpocuve position neing cteariy understood, let us see what tho Republicans nronose to do. They pro pose to pasa a law prohibiting slavery in the territories oi the I lilted Males, and uiey assert their constitutional power so to do. The Supreme Court of tho United States, having Congressional legislation beforo them, upon which to pass their opinion, have expressly and laisltively held that congress naa no power to no tins, men ine iiepun icaii position Is at war with the constitution cf the Uni ted States, fur it asks Congress to do what the Supreme Court of the united Mateo says (jongresa cannot do. Thoy ask to do now what nine years ago was settled should not done. I ask your attention to this settlement of the question in 1850. On the conclusion of our war with Mexico, wo obtained territory from that power, aim tno Question came up, how ahall that territory he or ganizea. we assumed nisi wingreso snoum uismse ot mo question, and desired Congress to dispose of it 111 tbe man, ner in which it waa done. I did not desire to see slavery extended in any directum, nor have my Ideas in this ro spect changed In the least. Jtut tlie South said they bad lieined acquire tne territory, and it would be uniust to ex. elude them and their Institutions from it. Two long years the discussion went on, Congress not being able tn provide for that territory a government. The inhabitants of California, in the meantime had framed a constitution and presented it to Congress, for admission intu the Union. Then came the settlement of the whole qttration. The boundary of Texas, the admission of California and th Fugitive slave Law were included in tnissottioment. iho Senate of the United Slates apiaiinted a committee of thir teen, Mr. Clay being placed at Its head. They consblem tho subject in all its hearings. Hero Judge Kanney rend an extract from tlieoonimitluos report. Here jou have the principle; stated. You will observo thnt it embodies the whole principle wo now con lend for. It is, for Congress to refrain from action on tho subject of slavery, lenving it for the people to decide for themselves, wheth er they will havo slavery, or whether they will prohibit it. Mr. Clay said in his speech, thnt tho true principle was non-intervention, lie again said the South would sacrifice their inter ests to maintain this principle, louseo, then, that hore was settled this question by Iho Con gross of the United States, absolutely in favor of non-intervention, n o took it out of (Joneress, nnd submitted it to the peoplo of tho territories to bo effected tliorcby. It was not a party In umph; it was simply a surrender on all hands, North and South; wo did not yield to" the South tho South did not Yield to us I sut rendered my notions then. Ilefora that, 1 had gono as far as any, in thinking that Con cress could prohibit slavery in the territories. We had two years to think of this aflorwards Tlie Whigs put up General Scott, and we put up .General Tierce lor tho Presidency. Vo both adopted platforms, and both said wo stood by tho principles thus settled that ihey were the ruo principles ot ttio government., wur irienu here, ns wellns I acquiesced in that, for ho was nt the head of the Scott electoral ticket in the Stale of Ohio. I think when we took this question out of Con gress, nnd submitted it lo the people of tho Territories, we did a patriotic thing. I go on to call your attention to another issue between us and the Republican party, nnd that is, tlie execution of the laws of tlie United Sltilcs, iu tho Slato of Ohio. One of Ihe matters sellled in 1M0 was t lie pnssngo of a more effectual law for tho rendition of fugitive slaves. Here, again, the Jleptiblican party and we arc at issue. We say this law ought to be fairly and honestly executed. The Republicans gay, in their rlntfcriii, that this law is subversive of tho rights of t ho Stales nml of the people, and ought j tu be unconditionally repealed. I aliirin to you, my friends, that iho real design and intent is to I nullify tins net in me atniooi iiino. it is quite iiinmleriiil to tno now many sinvea escape. I have nothing lo do, but with tho fair execution of our laws. If they are to bo resisted, then your government is brought to an end. Tlie platform of Ihe Republican party declares tbat this law ought to bo repealed. What then is to bo left towards oxeeuting tho Constitutional provision? As early as tho nays ol Washington, provision was made lo carry this Constitutional provision into ell'ect. I will call your attention to this provisiou : "No person hold to service or labor in one State, under tho laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such servico or labor, but shall be delivered on claim of tho party to whom such service or labor may bo duo." That is tho bond in which wo entered. Tho law ol"'.lii was passed untlor the Administration of Oen. Washington. It devolved upon Justices of Ihe l'eaco to give up Fugitivo Slaves. It was afterwards deoided by some State- authorities that Justices of tho l'eaoe need not give thetn up. So, in 1850, the amendment was that this should be done by Commissioners instead of Justices. Tho repeal of this law loaves the Federal government, without the means to carry into effeot tlie Constitutional provisions of the United States. The Legislature nf this Stato, elected lu 1855, had this subject before them, and upon resolutions being introducod into that body, they etpressly affirmed that this law was unconstitutional and void, and called upon Senators ard Representatives in Congress to effoot it immt dmle repeal. You reoolleot that certain gentlemen at OberJ !in were indicted in the Cirouit Court for the Northern District of Ohio. You recollect the meeting held in Clevoland; at which Gov. Cbasa said that if they would obtain a decision of the Supreme Court that the law was unconstitutional, he would secure their freedom. lit then sent the Attornoy General to argue that this law was unconstitutional. There stood in the way of nullifying the act of Congress ono single judge nn act of Congress which has been declared binding by every Stato Supreme Court. That man was Judge Swan. You know he stood firmly and consistently up for the law. You know he did not forget, in making that deoisioa thut he had held up his hand and appealed to his Maker that he would support the Constitution of . the United States. Tlie delegates of the Republican party appeared here at Columbus, and be was out down and sacrificed for having made such a decision. Tha Republican party repudiated in convention, a Judge for holding that nn aot of Congress wai constitutional, which the Supreme Court of the United States had so doclared by an unanimous judgmeut. I am perfectly aware that it is said in some parts of the gtate that this is not the Republican position. I am equally aw-re that a portion of the party made this tbe line qua non, for they intended to put the seal of condemnation upon a judicial officer who would hold that this act was constitutional. Mr. Giddings is preaching every day, that the law is a nullity and ought to be abolished. While Cor win is praying for a crop of hemp, Mr. Giddings declares that Corwin's doctrines are moro dumnable than those of the loco-focos themselves. I beg my friend to tell me which of these mon he indorses. There is a chance for the practical application of the doctrine. Now, thore is involved in this contest a greater question than who shall hold a particular ollico. You elect your officers for a short term of years. You all know that independence and impartiality in two great loading elements of unity. Now, if you are going to bold that you nay wftrp the constitution in this way, I beg to know where any of your rights and principles ian be said to be secure? I have shown you ihat the Supreme Court of the United States has expressly held that Congress has no power un der the constitution to legislate in regard to sla- very in the territories. I have shown you that his Court, erected by the constitution, has held tbat the fugitive slave law is a constitutions! and valid enactment. Still these gentlemen propose lo strike down any man who will abide by this decision. It is perfectly well known that Mr. Webster is identified with the passsgeof this law; nnd a few days ago, they circulated a petition to remove his statue from the publio pronn.ls in the oity of Boston. This was perfectly astounding to me. Such is the spirit of overbearing, manifested by those who proclaim utter hostility to the fugitive slave enactment. Suppose you say that no slave shall be taken back from Ohio? What have you done . in effect? You have not only taken a posi-ion that yon will rebel against the Constitution of the United States, tut you have removed the Canada line down to thp Ohio river. You have really, in fact, Africanised Ohio. While holding that this class of population 'mould be treated kindly, and considerately, I do humbly say to you that this government was made for white men, nnd ought to be administered so as to secure tho paramount interests of the white race. I will for one single moment refer to my friend nnd myself. In these' discussions I have endeavored to present to the people of tbe State the principles at issue bet ween the parties. I have seen floating around through the newspapers an extract taken from a Mahoning paper, representing me ns being opposed in 1850 to the fugitive enactment; that I was there attending court, and was culled upon at the conclusion of the court to make a few remarks. It was questioned whether or not there was a provision in the fugitive slave act denying the right of Habeas Corpus, and I expressed the opinion that if ' such was the caso, jt was unconstitutional. It turned out that Mr. Fillmore bad hesitated to approve the bill upon the same ground; but he was finally satisfied that it did not deny this right. Afterwards the subject came under review in several Circuit Courts of the United States, and they all held that it did allow this right. . Judge Burchard who was at the same meeting, took occasion to denouaoe the report, in the newspnper published at Warren. I did not deny it, for the simple reason that four thousand persons had heard me. I have referred to this subject, simply for the purpose of placing myself right in regard to it. I have never before alluded lo the subject. It was rumored that my friend would nse the ' bayonet to resist tho execution of the fugitive law. Ho denied this, and I have taken his denial aa true. Ought this law of 1850 to be fairly and honestly carried into exeoution? We say it ought to be, and that it cannot be ropealed. We do not say it cannot be amended. All we contend for is simply that the provision of the federal constitution ought to bo, and shall be fairly and honestly executed, and that ihe great State of Ohio shall not set the example of disobeying and disregarding the Constitution of the United States. My friend has put to me sundry questions, some of which I have answered, and some of which, perhaps not. He has presented here questions that have no more to do with the is sues of the day, than if they had been questions on theology. But I urn not in thccatechismnow. For instance, hero is one about the slave trade "Hos Congress the power to prohibit the importation of slaves from without tbe pale of the United States?" I do not see any reason to doubt that Congress has the power. It certainly has done this. I suppose it is derived from the general power given to Congress over commerce. The provision in the Constitution limiting the slave trade to 1808, was, in effect, saying you shall have no right to pioliibit the introduction of slaves up to that timo. Auother question: "Has the territory any legislative power except such as 1b conferred by Congress 1 Cn Congress confer such power as is not clearly authorized by the constitution? Can Congress dolegate such power to the ternaries which it cannot ilself exercise." This is Sy idea about this whole matter. I suppose the Congress of the United States, owning territory, has a right to say when a government shall be organized upon it not until there are peoplo enough to manage the government whon it is organized. I supposed that tho power delegated in the constitution of the United States is for iho governmont of the territories as well as the Stales. I suppose when Congress said a territorial government may be organized upon the publio lands of the United Slates, they have necessarily vested in the legislative power of that territory power to legislate upon all questions within iho territory. When Congress has authorized a territorial government upon the lands of the United Slates, Jhe legislative power of the territory no longerHepeuds upon the right derived from Congress; but upon the right of self-government which pertains to man as man whenever organized into a political community. I agrca that Congress cannot dolegate to tlie torritories power that it cannot itself exercise.Question. Is the right of properly in slaves affirmed in the constitution? It would be necessary to go over the whole-of tho constitution in order to answer this question. The constitution lakes things as it finds thoin existing in the Stales. It provides for restoring slaves escaping in one State, held under the laws thereof intonuother. Tho fcdoral governmont merely recognize) the existcnoe of the relation of master ami slave in suuh State. Does the constitution make a difference between slave properly in a territory and (tlur propertv I I do not understand it makes any distinction, r
