NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA WEST,) July 17, 1863. $ Arrested and confined for ihree weeks in the United States, a prisoner of State; ban ished tlicnce to the Confederate States, and there held as an alien enemy and prisoner of war, thongh on parole; fairly and honor ably dealt with and given leave to depart, an act possible only by running the block ade at the hazard of being fired upon by ships flying the flag of' my own country, I found myself first a freeman when on Brit ish soil. And to-day, under pro'ecliou of the British flag, 1 am here to enjoy, and in part to exercise the privileges and rights which usurpers insolently deny me at home. The shallow contrivance of the weak des pots at Washington and their advisers, has been defeated. Nay, it has been turned a gainst them; and 1, who, for two years, was maligned as in secret league with the Confederates. havju refused when in their midst, under circumstances the most las en able, either to identify myself with their cause or even so much as to remain, pre ferring rather exile in a foreign land, return now with allegiance to my own State and Government, unbroken in word, thought or deed, and with every declaration and pledge to you while at home, and before 1 was sto len away, made good in spirit and to the very letter. Six weeks ego, when just going into ban ishment because an audacious but most cow ardly despotism caused it, I addressed you as fellow-citizens. To-day, and from the very place then selected by me, but after wearisome and most perilous journeying* for more than four thousand miles by land and upon the sea, still in exile, though al most in sight of my native State, 1 greet you as your representative. Grateful cer tainly J am for the confidence in my integ rity and patriotism implied by the unani mous nomination as candidate for Governor of Ohio, which you gave while I was yet in the Confederate States. It was not mispla ced : it shall never be abused. But this is the. least of all consideration in times like these. I ask no personal sympathy for the personal wrong. No; it is the cause of constitutional lib erty and private right, cruelly outraged be yondexnmple in a tree country, by the Pres ident and bis servants, which gives public significant' to the action of your convention. Yours was, indeed, an act of justice to a citizen who, tor his devotion to the rights of tlie Rtate and the liberties of the people, had been marked for destruction by the band of arbiitj '/power. But it was much more. ' v an example of courage worthy of the I _y,s of tlie world; audit was a.spec tacle and a rebuke to the usurping tyrants who, having broken up the Union, would now strike down the Constitution, subvert your present Government, and establish a formal and proclaimed despotism in its stead. You are the restorers and defenders of con- i stitutional liberty, and by that proud title ' history will salute you. I congratulate you upon your nominations. ! They whom you have placed upon the tick- [ et with me are gentlemen of character, a- i bility, integrity, and tried fidelity to the J Constitution, the Union, and to Liberty. \ Their moral and political courage—a quali- , ty always rare, and now the most valuable j of public virtues—is beyond question. Ev~ ; ery way these were nominations tit to be i made. And even jealousy, lam sure, will now be hushed, if I especially rejoice with you in the nomination of Mr. Pugb as a j candidate for 1 ieutenant Governor andPrcs ident of the fclonato. A scholar and a gen- . tlentrn. a soldier in a foreign war, and al ways a patriot: eminent as a lawyer, and at .1 ingtiished as an orator and a statesman, 1 hail his acceptance as an omen of the re turn of the better and more virtuous days of the Republic. i I endorse your noble platform—elegant :in style, admirable in sentiment. You pre ; sent the true issue, and commit yourselves to the great mission just now of the Demo- J cratic party—to restore and make sure FIRST the rights and liberties declared yours by your constitution, and dishonored and pol luted loy repeated and most aggravated ex actions of tyrannic power. It is base in yourselves, and treasonable to your poster ity, to surrender these liberties and rights to the creatures whom your own breath cre ated and can destroy. Shall there be free speech, a free press, peaceable assemblages of and a free ballot any longer j in Ohio? Shall the people hereafter, as hitli- I erto, have the right to discuss and condemn j the principles and policy of the party —the I ministry—the men who, for the time, con ; duet the Government—to demand of their ; pubhe* servants a reckoning of their stew | ardship, and to place other men and another party- in power at their supreme will and | pleasure. Shall Order Thirty-eight or the 1 Constitution be the supreme law ot the land? - And shall the citizen any more be arrested j by an armed soldiery at midnight, dragged | from his wife and child and home to a mili j 1 ai-v prison; thence to a mock m ilitary trial; j t here condemned, and then banished as a ■ felon for the exercise of his rights! This is the issue, and nobly have you met it. It is the very question of free, popular govern ment itself. It is the whole question; up on the one side liberty, on the other despo tism. The President as the recognized head jof his party, accepts the issue. Whatever [he wills, that is law. Constitutions, State (•and Federal, are nothing; acts of legisla tion nothing; the judiciary less than notli | ing. In time of war, there in but one will supreme—his will?—but one law—military ' necessity, and ho the sole judge. Military orders supercede the Constitution, and mil ' itary commissions usurp the place of the ordinary courts of justice in the land. Nor are these, mere idle claims. For two years and more, by arms, they have been enforc ed. It was the mission of the weak but ■ pros nnptuous Burnside—a name infamous I forevpr in the cars of all lovers of constitu , tioru*! liberty—to try the experiment in O | bio, Tided by a judge whom I name not, be otfld ,t ho has brought foul dishonor upon the judiciary of my country, in your hands now, men of Ohio, is the final issue of the ' experiment. The party of the Adminis tration have accepted it. By pledging sup port to the President, they have justified his ouinigcs upon liberty and the Constitu tion ; and whoever gives his vote to the can didate of that party, commits himself to every act of violence and wrong on the part of the Administration which lie upholds; and thus, by the law of retaliation, which is law of might, would forfeit his own right to liberty, personal and political, whensoev er other men and another party shall hold the power. Much more do the candidates themselves. Sutter them not I entreat you, to evade the issue; and by the judgment of the people we will abide. And now, finally, let me ask what i 3 the pretext for all the monstrous acts and claims of arbitrary power which you have so no bly denounced? "Military necessity." But if indeed, all these be demanded by milita ry necessity, then believe me yourlibcrties are gone, and tyranny is perpetual. For if this civil war is to terminate only by sub jugation or submission of the South to force and arms, the infant of to-day will not live to see the end of it. No, in another way only can it be brought, to a close. Travel ing a thousand miles or more, through near ly one-half of the Confederate States, and sojourning for a time at widely different points, I met not one man, woman or child who was not resolved to perish rather than yield to the pressure of arms even in the most desperate extremity. ' And whatever may and must be the varying fortune of the war, in all which I recognize the hand of Providence pointing visibly to the ultimate issue of this great trial of the States and people of America, they are better prepar ed now every way to make good their in exorable purpose than at any period since the beginning of the struggle. These may indeed be unwelcome truths, but they arc addressed only to candid and honest men. Neither, however, let mc add, did I meet any, whatever his opinions or his station, political or private, who did not declare his readiness, when the war shall have ceased and invading armies bean withdrawn , to consider and discuss the question of reun ion. And who shall doubt the issue of the argument ? I return, therefore, with my o pinions and convictions as to war or peace, and my faith as to final results from sound policy and wise statesmanship, not only un changed, but confirmed and strengthened. And may the God of heaven and eartli so rule the hearts and minds of Americans ev erywhere, that with a Constitution main tained, a Union restored, and liberty hencc f Ii made secure, a grander and nobler des tiny shall yet be ours than that even which blessed our fathers in the first two ages of the Itcpublic. C. L. VALLANDIGIIAM. , WHOLE NUMBER, 3070 VOL 7, NO 2. [From the Louisville Democrat. How Morgan got Three Hundred Horses. John Morgan is as good at playing a joke sometimes as he is at horse-stealing, and the fol lowing incident will prove that on this occasion he did a little of both at the same time: Dur ing his celebrated tour through Indiana he, with about thrco hundred and fifty guerillas, took occasion to pay a visit to a little town hard by while the main body were "inarching on."— Dashing suddenly into the little "burg," he found about three hundred home guards, each having a good horse tied to the fences—the men stand ing about in groups, awaiting orders from their aged captain, who looked as if he had seen the shady side of some sixty years. The Hoosier boys looked at the men with astonishment, while the captain went up to one of the men and asked: "Whose company is this?" "Wolford's cavalry," said the reh. "What! Kentucky boys! We're glad to see you, boys. Wliar's Wolford?" "There he sits," said a ragged, rough reb, pointing to Morgan, who was sitting sideways upon his horse. The captain walked up to Wolford (as he and all thought) and saluted him : "Captain, how are you t" "Bully I How are you? What are you going to do with all these men and horses?" Morgan looked about. "Well, you see that d—d horse-thieving John Morgnn is in this part of the country with a passel of cut-throats and thieves, and between you and L if he comes up this way, captain, we'll give him the best we've got in the shop." "He's hard to catch; we've been after him fourteen days and can't see him at all," said Morgan good humoredly. "Ef our horses would stand fire we'd be all right." "Won't they stand?" "No, Captain Wolford; 'spose while you're restin' you and your company put your saddles on our horses and go through a little evolution or two, byway of a lesson to our boys. I'm told you're a hoss on the drill." And the only man Morgan is afraid of, Wol ford (ns it were), alighted and ordered "his boys" to dismount, as he wanted to show the Hoosier boys how to give Morgan a warm reception if he should chance to pay them a visit. This de lighted the Hoosier boys, so they went to work and assisted the men to tie their old, weary, worn-out bones to the fences and place their saddles upon the hacks of their fresh horses, which was soon done, and the men were in their saddles, drawn up,in hue andj-eady for the word. The boys were highly elated at the idea of hav ing their "pet horses" trained fot them by Wol ford and his men, and more so to think tbey would stand fire ever afterwards. The old captain advanced, and walking up to Wolford, (as he thought) said: "Captain are you all right now?" Wolford rode up one side of the column and down the other, when he moved to the front, took off his hat, paused and said, "Now, captain, lam ready; if you and your gallant men wish to witness an evolution which you perhaps have never seen, form a line on each side of the road, and watch us closely as wo pass." The enptnin did as he was di rected. A lot of ladies were present on the oc casion, and all were as silent as a maiden's sigh. "Are you ready?" "All right, Wolford," shouted the captain. "Fonmrdr shouted Morgan, as the column rushed through the crowd with lightning speed, amid the shouts and huzzas of every one pres ent—some leading a horse or two as they went, leaving their frail tenements of horse flesh tied to the fences, to lie provided for by the citizens. It soon became whispered about that it was John Morgan and his gang, and there is not a man in the town who will "own up" that he was gulled out of a horse. The company disband ed that night, though the captain holds the hor ses as prisoners of war, and awaits an exchange! How he got a Supper. A few mouths since, a man, who called him self a conjurer, entered a tavern in a country town, and asked the company who were assem bled in the bar-room if they would like to wit ness one of his tricks.—The fellow lookod cold and hungry, so the landlord gave assent, and stated that he knew a few tricks himself, and had seen a great many wonderful ones. The conjurer then requested the company to place three hats u|R>n tho table, which being done, he desired the landlord to bring a loaf of bread, nnd the stranger cut out three pieces, (nearly half a pound each) and placed one upon each hat. He then stated that he could do the trick much more comfortably to himself if he had three pir cos of cheese. The cheese being brought ho cut three good sized pioccs and placed one by each piece of breud. Now was the grand trick. The conjurer turned up the cuffs of his coat, took off his nock-hand-kerchicf nnd unbut toned his shirt-collar and stated that ho would now proceed to eat tho throe pieces of bread and afterwards bring all under one hat. Ho commenced eating the bread and cheese, nnd after eating two pieces he could not proceed with the third and finish the trick, unless ho had something to dnnk. The landlord, wish ing that the wonderful trick should be proceed ed with for tho amusement of his customers, immediately proceeded to give the fellow a quart of ale; and the third piece of bread and cheese soon followed the first two pieces. Now the grand trick was to bo disclosed, and the land lord and his companions anxiously waited to see it. The conjurer said, "now, gentlemen, which hat shall I bring the bread and cheese under 1" Tho landlord pointed out his own hat, wish ing to take part in the trick as well as his bread and cheese. It being so arranged, the conjurer again said, "gentlemen, I liavo eaten the bread nud cheese, and now I will bring it under the landlord's hat," and lie immediately placed the hat upon his bead and continued, "now you will perceive that it is under the hat without | any deception."

We learn by a private telegram from Detroit, that the groat Hipppotamus attached to the "Combination Show" which exhibited here last week, has made his escape. This animal, together with his friend the big elephant, was placed on board the propeller S. D. Caldwell here on Sunday night—it being im practicable to convey them by railroad—and embarked for Detroit. A place was arranged on deck for their accommodation.—all went a long smoothly until! Sunday morning, when within some six or eight miles of the mouth of the Detroit river, where the bippppotamus, tak ing it into his head that he would enjoy a bit of a swim, walked through the bulwarks as if they were nothing more than barriers of brown paper, and floundered in to the water —and thus disappeared $30,000 at one plunge. The pro peller was "hove to," and remained near the spot for over an hour, but "hippy" was not seen again. A small boat containing Ali, his keeper, and some assistants, was left to continue the search, but we no not learn that they got sight of the animal. A rumor prevailed that the monster had sub sequently been captured on the shore near Mai den, but we do not know what credence it is entitled to. For the sake of his owners—to whom the loss wonld be a most serious one— we hope it may be true. HOW TUB HIPPOPOTAMUS WAS CAPTURED. The Detroit Free Press gives the following details of the capture of the Hippopotamus which escaped from a steamer into the Detroit river: During the voyage it was noticed that tho animal continually looked longingly towards the water, as though he would have given one of hb eye teeth for a plunge into the depth of the lake and a ramble about its unexplored bot tom. No one supposed however, that he would yield to hb amphibious tastes, and so no extra watch was set upon him. As the steamer neared tho city, and when about three miles below the fort a crash and then a splash were beard from tho side of the bow toward the American shore. Everybody rushed to tin spot. The place where the hip popotamus had been confined was empty. The beast, no longer able to resist the temptation, | had burst hb bonds and planged into'the river, resolved on an aquatic excursion. The own er, who was on board, looked the picture of of despair. Forty thousand dollars, to say noth ing of a large amount of prospective profits, had suddenly vamoosed. As for Ali, the E gyp tain keeper, he was nearly frantic. In a few moments, however, the monstrous head of the huge beast appeared above the water. A general shout arose, and Ali was with great difficulty prevented from jumping overboatd in pursuit of hb companion and beloved pet while a boat was lowered, into which he jumped and rowed toward tbo beast, who swam in an extacy of delight. As the Egyptian commenced calling him fa miliar names at the sound of his voice the mon ster stopped, looked around, and seemed to wait for the boat to near him, but just as it ap peared within reaching distance the hippopota mus gave a plunge and once more disappeared, leaving a whirlpool of soething water to mark the spot where he had gone down.—Nothing was seen of him now for a long time, and they were about giving him up for lost, when he suddenly made his appearance about one hun dred yards off but nearer the shore than at first. Ali again rowed towards him, calling him as before, but again the beast dodged him, diving to the bottom of the river. Ali now made a large circle with his boat, in hopes of taking him by surprise, as ho came up to breathe, but, as if aware of his intentions, the hippopo tamus rose at a long distance off and looked at his master cunningly and with an expression which seemed to say, "No you don't." For the third time Ali started in pursuit with a result similar to that which had attend ed his other attempts to re-capture his pet. When he went down the third time, Ali paused, evidently completely nonplussed, and seemingly overcome by grief and despair. In a second, however he seized the oars and rowed toward the steamer. "Try de tog," ho shouted, as he came alongside; "gib me de tog!" A largo black mastiff which had been trained to sleep in the cage of the hippopotamus, and for whom he has evinced for a long time much affection, had been keeping up a continual how ling from the time his companion had escaped, wns now loosened, and he instantly plunged in to the river and swam after Ali as ho moved j off. In about a minute the hippppotamus again stuck his huge head out of the water, and on seeing him, the dog gave a wild bark and swam I in his direction very rapidly, Ali accompanying him in the boat. At Inst the dog reached tha ! monster, and with a series of barks commenced swimming around the animal, and finally struck out for the shore, the hippopotamus fol j lowing. The interest excited by this scene was intense which continued to increase untill the dog and hippopotamus roachod the American shore safe ty. Ali was not long after, and the animal was no sooner on Urra Jirma than the Kgyptain, armed with a small rawhide, which ho had ta ! ken with him, jumped on tho beach, going to the animal spoke a few words in the Egyptian tongue, gave him a few smart cuts over his ponderous rump with the raw hide and drove him without further difficulty to a place of safe ty, whero he was at once secured and the proper means adopted to have him brought to this city, where he now is, in fine condition after his frol ic beneath the waves.
