Retreat of Lee
General LEE crossed the Potomac
on Monday and Tuesday last, taking
&this guns, ammunition and sup
plies with him. It does not appear
that General MEADE was aware of it
until the Confederate army had
crossed, supposing all the time that
LEE was in his front ready to give
him battle. Thus has this able and
wily General again accomplished
his purpose, as he did after the bat
tle of Antietem, and returns to Vir
ginia with the immense plunder he
secured in Pennsylvania—but this
time after a retreat of some forty
miles and with a swollen river be
fore him. The bird has again flown
from the coil which was supposed to
have been wound around him by
the Army of the Potomac. Where
he will next turn up remains to be
seen.
FROM THE SOUTH
Late Richmond papers admit that serious
disasters have befallen the Confederate cause,
but their leading articles are as boldly defiant
as ever. There is no report of the Confederate
loss at Gettysburg, but it is admitted that the
casualties were severe, while it is claimed that
our thousand Federal troops were taken pris
oners. After the fall of Vicksburg, a portion
of the Federal army advanced on Gen. John
ston's position at Jackson. Fighting com—
menced on the 10th, and was kept up with
varying success up to last accounts, Sunday
morning, when the Federal forces were shell
ing the city. The Federal accounts of the
recent raid into North Carolina, aro confirm
ed, but the railroad has since been repaired,
and is again in use. Five Federal gunboats
and small transports reached Brandon, on the
James River, below City Point, on Sunday
last. Gen. Neal Dow has arrived in Richmond
as a prisoner of war.
SURRENDER OF PORT HUDSON
We have the important news that Port Hud
son the rebel strong-hold, surrendered to Gen.
Banks on the 9th instant—five dace after the
fall of Vicksburg. This clears the banks of
the Mississippi of the rebel fortifications, and
opens it to commerce. Doubtless the rebels
will endeavor to re establish themselves upon
banks;its but our gunboats will keep's vig•
slant guard over it. The first news of the cap
tare of Port Hudson, was received from the
Richmond papers. It is since confirmed by
despatches from Gen. Banks.
Great Riot in New York.
The excitement in regard to the
enforcement of the Conscription
Act, that has been visible through
out the country for several weeks
past, culminated in New York, on
Monday of last week, in the most
terrible riot ever before witnessed in
this country. The mob first attacked
the building in which the draft was
going forward in the Ninth Congres
sional District and fired it, after de
stroying all the furniture it contain
ed, and severely handling the officers
who occupied it. The police force
was utterly unable to contend with
the rioters, and in an attempt to do
so, many were seriously wounded
and two or three lost their lives. '
On Tuesday the excitement be
came more intense and spread into
Other portions of the city, more lives
were lost, and many buildings were
destroyed—among the rest the resi
dence of Mayor Opdyke and the
Colored Orphan Asylum, corner of
Forty-second street and Fifth
Avenue. An attack was also made
on the Tribune office, and a portion
of the furniture, &e., in the lower
story destroyed, but, by great exer
tions, the police were able to save
the building. During the day and
night public and private buildings
were sacked and burned, the city
railroads were torn up, the telegraph
wires were cnt, and armories and
gun stores broken open to provide
the excited populace with arms.- 7 -
Troops were ordered from Gov
ernor's Island, the Navy Yard and
the Forts in the Harbor, and there
were several collisions between the
military and the rioters which re
sulted in the killing and wounding
of over two hundred persons. At
noon Governor SEYMOUR addressed
an immense crowd at the City Hall,
urging them to preserve the peace,
and promising to have the draft
suspended until its constitutionality
could be tested in the Courts. He
was loudly cheered. He also issued
a proclamation, declaring the City
and County of New York to be in
a state of insurrection, and tele
graphed orders for the immediate
return of five regiments of the State
Militia from • Pennsylvania.
The riot continued in other sec
tions of the city through Wednes
day, Wednesday night and Thurs
day. Frequent collisions between
the military and the populace oc
curred, and numbers of lives were
sacrificed, while an immense amount
of property was committed to de
struction. In one of the fights it is'
stated that forty dead bodies—sol
diers and citizens—were left on the
ground. The poor uegroes were
Bunted, driven about and hanged,
and multitudes of the unfortunate
creatures fled terror-stricken from
the city. During the four days not
Hs than two hundred of them were
cruelly murdered, and it was no
longer safe for,any of the poor crea
tures to show themselves on the
streets in any part of the city.
if Friday morning, the riot was
quelled, and order once more took
the place of lawlessness and outrage.
Altogether it was the greatest out
breal-, and attended with a ;greater
destruction of life and property, than
ever bcfifte occurred in any city of
the - United States, and resembled in
atrocity some of the sv,lo; eiteeted
in l'aris during the stormy period of
the French Revolution. God grant
that we may never again have to
record such a terrible outbreak of
popular frenzy and madness.
Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the most suc—
cessful commander in this war, was born in
Ohio, April 27, 1822, and entered West Point
in 1830. He graduated in 1843, and was ap
pointed second lieutenant in the 4th Infantry ,
Sept. 30, 1845. He was in the battles of Palo
Alto, Resaca de la Palma and Monterey,
under Taylor, and with Scott in every battle
from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, and
was twice brevetted for gallant conduct. He
resigned July 21; 1854, holdirig the rank of
Captain, and settled afterwards at Galena,
He entered this war as Colonel of the 21st
Illinois regiment, and was made Brigadier
General May 17, 1561, and first commanded
at Cairo. The earlier battles in which he com
manded were Belmont, Fort Henry, Port Don
elson and Pittsburgh Landing. He has proved
himself a very efficient officer. Yet the Presi
dent recently declared that more influence and
more urgency had been brought to remove
Grant from his command than against any
other General in the army. The reason was,
because Gen. Grant is a Democrat and bus
scrupulously refrained from meddling with po
litical matters, and has persistently declined to
make war upon Democrats and Democratic.

A NO TRER EDITOR ARRESTED
11. J. STATILE, Esq., editor and proprietor
of the Gettysburg Compiler—a sound Demo
cratic sheet—was arrested a few days ago by
the military authorities at Gettysburg, taken
from the State, and is now imprisoned in Fort
Mc Henry. The last number of that paper
thus alludes to the arrest:
"It appears that the editor having fallen
under the displeasure of a person claiming to
be a soldier of our army, information was laid
Wore the proper military power, and thus
upon the unsupported testimony of one man
—the same who violently tore down the flag
that floated from the window of the Compiler
office—a citizen was deprived of his liberty—
a patriot of his home—and the unfortunate
victim of a prejudiced, distempered and malig
nant information is now confined within the
gloomy walls of Fort 11Pllenry. " * *
At present we have nothing to say as to the right
or wrong of these military arrests. * *
" To the Provost General, acting upon the
information, presuming it was laid uut of pure,
patriotic considerations, no blame attaches for
the arrest ; but over the heads of those miser
able, black-hearted wretches, male and female,
who, instigated by the vilest hearts, have thus
indirectly, by their acts, brought this trouble
and sorrow, not only to the victim himself and
his family, but to thousands of his fellow
countrymen, who to-day feel as if confined
with him, hangs a day of retribution. *
The accused courted an examination—his
friends urged a hearing. The authorities
deeming such a hearing nothing more than a
simple act of justice, were willing to comply
—but those citizens, political opponents, were
on hand, and of course an examination and
release of Mr. Stehle would have been a sud
den and unexpected end of their deep laid
plan. They succeeded in preventing a hear
ing, and thus through the intervention of
these townsmen and neighbors we may say,
a victim to political malice, Henry J. Stahlo
is doomed to await, beneath the shades of the
Baltimore bastile, the pleasure of the admin
istration in an examination of his case."
VD' The Huntingdon Monitor has been re,
established upon a firm basis, and came to us
last week much improved in spirit and ap—
pearance, with the name of J. Irvin Steel at
its head as editor and publisher. Mr. Steel
has the experience and ability to make a good
paper. May success attend him and the Mon

NERD THE WAR 8E 01188088 RD.
We sometimes incline to the notion that,.
had there been no money in the war, had the
men who lead now on the side of the Govern
ment been as incorruptible as those who led
on the same side daring the revolution of 1776,
the war would hrive been ended in a single
campaign. The lust of gain, the greed of
power, and the temptation of position, which
now prevail among a very large class in the
free States, has had much to do with the pro
longation of the war. Seven out of every ten
officers now in the service deem it to their in
terest to prolong the war, simply because with
the end of the war will come a suspension of.
position and salary, such as these men never
can receive in any civil position for which
their talents fit them. These men fight to
prolong the war. Added to these are a large
class in the mercantile and financial world,
men of immense influence,' who are amassing
colossal fortunes solely by the prolongation of
the war. The moment the Federal forces
achieve a victory, the price of gold and the
cost of goods of all kinds - , fall. This is reversed
when we are defeated, and hence it is the in
terest and the business of a. large and power
ful class of men, who profess to be loyal, to
keep the country in a constant state between
victory and defeat.
* .* * * * * *
In the condition of affairs, now, there need
be no prolongation of the war. Depend upon
it, whenever you hear an officer profoundly
discussing the impossibility of capturing a
whole rebel army, he is arguing his own
chances of retaining a well paying position
instead of the chances of victory to the army
in which he commands Armies have been
captured heretofore, and there is no reason
why they should not now also be captured.—
During the revolutionary war, the colonial
forces captured two splendid armies, one com
manded by Burgoyne and the other by Corn
wallis. Napoleon captured one of the best
armies engaged to oppose his conquests.—.
Certainly, then, what has been done can again
be accomplished. It can be accomplish d as
soon as we make the war in reality a struggle
for the government—for the nation—for free
dom, instead of a
. fight among scrambling
speculators, or an idle show of military power
to serve the ambition and fill the stomachs of
every aspiring or hungry politician in the land
What bas made the rebellion thus far suc
cessful, has been the vigor, valor and disinter
ested devotion of the rebels. There is unity
among the traitors. They are willing to make
any sacrifice for success. Those at home de—
vote themselves to seconding the efforts of
those in the field. Their officers fight fur vic
tory, not for mere position and pay. They
are animated by one power, and that is the
power represented in the Confederacy. This
is the spirit we need, not only in our armies,
but in our communities. We want personal
sacrifices as well to be made by those at home
as those in the army. We want men to for
set their own interests just a few months,
and devote themselves exclusively to the good
of the country. We want every consideration
of business—every hope of personal gain,
made to subserve considerations of national
success and permanent peace. We want the
infernal and eternal greed of money making
stopped only while our fighting men are peril
ing his and limb in a struggle for the nation
—so that every man can lend a hand to the
speedy ending of the war. The war in its
present shape can be ended in a very few
months, if the country devotee itself entirely
to the purpose. It needs but the sacrifice of
slight personal interests to gain this end. It
needs but the display of energy and prompti
tude, surely, for a people so really superior
as are the masses of the north in comparison
with those engaged in rebellion, to put an end
to the war. God grant that the end is close
at hand!
Tligl-..We clip th 3 above from the Harrisburg
Telegraph of Tuesday last, and were as much
surprised as our readers can be, to find such
sentiments uttered by that rank Abolition
sheet. Verily, "Truth is mighty and must
prevail," and the people in dark places are
beginning to get their eyes opened to the de
signs of the " loyal" loaders in the army and
in civil life. They don't want this cruel war
to be ended, for with its termination, their oc
cupation of plunder will be gone.
12IPORTA2+'9'_ SPEECH FROM PRE SI-
On Tuesday evening, after the receipt of
Commodore Porter's dispatch announcing the
surrender of Vicksburg, on the F-urth, a
pr•:cession with hands of music, nroceeded to
the Executive Mansion, when Mr. LINCOLN
appeared at an upper window and spoke in
substance as follows, according to the Tri
bune's report :
Fellow Citizens I am very glad indeed to
see GOll to night, and yet I will not say I
thank you for this call, but I do most sincerely
thank Almighty God for the occasion on which
you have called. (Cheers ) How long ago
is it I—eighty odd years—since on the Fourth
of July, for the first time in the history of the
world, a nation, by its representatives. assem
bled and declared as a self-evident truth that
" all men are (treated equal." (Cheers ) That
v7ati to birthday of the United States of
America. Since then the 4th of July has had
several peculiar recognitions. The two most
distinguished men in the framing and sup
port ot the declaration were Thomas Jefierson
and J,hn Adams—the one having penned it
and the other sustained it most forcibly in de
bate—tho.only two of the fifty-five who sus.
tained it being elected President of the United
States. Precisely fifty years after they put
their hands to the paper, it pleased Almighty
God to take both from the stage of action.—
This was indeed an extraordinary and remark.
able event in our history. Another President,
five years after, was called from this stage of
existence on the same day and month of the
year ; and now, on this last Fourth of July
just past, when we have a gigantic rebellion,
sit the bottom of which. is an churl to overthrow
the principle that " all men are created equal,"
we have the surrender of a most powerful po
sition and army on that very day ; (cheers ;)
and not only so, but in a succession of battles
in Pennsylvania, near to us, through three
days, so rapidly fought that they might be
called one great battle, on the Ist, 2.1 and 3d
of the month of July ; and on the 4th. the co
horts of those who opposed the declaration that
"all men are created equal" turned tail and
run. (Long and continued cheers.) Gentle
men, this is a glorious theme, and the occa—
sion for a speech, hut I am not prepared to
make, one worthy of the occasion. I would
like to speak in terms of praise due to the
many brave officers and soldiers who have
fought in the cause of the Union and liberties
of the country, from the beginning of the war.
There are trying occasions, not daily in suc
cess, but for the want of success. I dislike to
mention the name of one single officer, lest I
might do wrong to those I might forget. Re
cent events bring up glorious names, particu
larly prominent ones, but these I will not
mention. Having said this much, I will now
take the music.

RIOT IN TROY,
TROT, N. Y., July 15, 10 30 P. M.—This
morning some three or four hundred men,
workmen in the Renssealear iron foundry and
the Albany nail works, marched through the
streets proclaiming that the draft should not
take place. They stopped in front of the
Times office which they sacked, destroying
all - the property within. The mob was ad
dressed by Father Havermans, who advised
them to go to their homes, keep the peace,
and obey the laws. The mob then broke away,
and visited a colored church,which they threat
ened to destroy. Again Father Havermans
addressed the crowd, and begged them to de
sist, and through his efforts the church was
saved. The mob then went to the jail and
forcing it open, released all the prisoners.
nrCITIE# 2-Osol.AnidlticrAir
Mali
On this subject the speech of Governor Sey
mour, delivered on the Fourth pf July, con
tains the following sound and philosophical
reflections :
" I am one of those who are full of hope for
the future. Not that I underrate The dangers
which threaten us ;- not , that I do - not deplore
as much as any living man an, the terrible
ravages of this war. But why does the war
rage in our land ? It was because the people
of this generation have lost the virtues and
patriotism and wisdom of their fathers. It
was because we had become indifferent to
those great truths which we have now laid
before us, as if they were curiosities in legal
literature, instead of being great truths that
should be impressed upon the heart and mind
of every American. I tell you why I am full
of hope 'that not only will our liberties be
maintained, our nation restored, and order
once again prevail over this great land of ours.
It is this : Examine yourselves, and I ask you
how many men there are within the sound of
my voice, who knew twelve months ago what
the Constitution of their country was. I do
not say that you did not understand it intel
lectually ; I do not mean to say that it was
not imprinted on your memory; I do not
mean to say that it had not received your as
sent ; but it was not until we were made to
feel, as our fathers felt, the value of this DC3-
laration they had put forth, that any of us
could ever see the full value and significance
of the Constitution of our country and the
Declaration of Independence. We have ac
cepted it, as I said, mentally and intellectu
ally before ; but why was it, when these
familiar words sounded again in your ears on
this occasion, as you heard them often before
on the anniversary of our country's liberty,
that they stirred your very hearts within you
and made your blood tingle in your veins?
" My friends, we have not now a mere in
tellectual knowledge of the Constitution, we
do not give it now a mere mental support.—
We have now upon that subject a vital, living
piety that makes ue better men and better
patriots ; and wherever you go all over this
land you find that these sentiments now exist
in the minds of more than a majority of the
American people. They arc now fervent in
their faith. fixed in their purpose ; a party, if
you please fanatics, for the great principles of
liberty, and fanatical in their determination
to see that those rights and liberties are es
tablished. We have seen in our land small
parties, each an inconsiderable minority in the'
section of the country where they existed, but
men of purpose, men of zeal, men of fanati
cism. We have seen them wage a war upon
the Constitution of your country with a per
sistence and power that have, at last, shaken
it to its very foundation, and brought us, to
pay to the very brink of national ruin. We
have seen what zeal and purpose could do
when it was opposed only by a dull mental
aequiesence in great truths. What may we
not hope that we may not do when the great
majority of the American people have a far
vent longing and vital faith in the principles
which you have heard and read, and who pro
pose to maintain them at every cost and every
hazard !
"Da you wish for peace ? Do you wish for
victory ? Do you wish for the restoration
of our national privileges ? Here lies the'
pathway, and let the American people
once learn the full value of their liberties, as
our fathers did, and the battle is fought and
won. Without this, my friends, war can
bring yeti no success—peace can give you no
quiet until the American people are thus ed
ucated and elevated. Until that takes place
war or peace is the mere incident of the great
underlying causes of convulsions which have
affected our land and shaken our institutions
to their very centre. Remember this, that the
great underlying cause of this war, I care not
what particular application you may give to
it, what your particular views may lead you
to attribute it to, one special cause or another
special cause ; but there is one great under
lying general cause, which must be removed
before it can be restored, and that cause was
indifference to our rights, indifference to our
liberties, and want of proper intelligence with
regard to our own country, and want of an el
evated wisdom that could understand the du
ties of American citizenship. When you have
gained this, peace will be restored ; when you
have gained this, all the world can eee that
we have gone back to the wisdom of our fath
ers, and that we are again sustaining institu
tions that invited the whole world to their
shelter and protection—institutions that made
us, but three short years ago, the most glori
ous nation on the face of the earth. When
we have ogrin restored that virtue and that
intelligence, our country will again be restored
to its former glory. But, my friends, anything
short of this will disappoint your hopes. No
victory can restore greatness atur glary and
power to a people who are unworthy of liner
' ty. Na pea 20 will bring back prosperity to a
land which cannot understand the great prin
ciples upon which Governments should be
' founded, and the great objects for which Gov
ernments are instituted
" Let us resolve, upon this sacred day, that
we will hereafter stand by the Constitution of
the country, the power of the Government,
and the rights of the States, the privilege of
the citizen, and the independence and the pu
rity of the Judiciary. Whatever others may
do, let us show ourselves obedient and respect
ful to the authorities acting within the limits
of their constitutional jurisdictions, and at the
same time show ourselves resolute in the
maintenance of Jur own rights. Let sdo our
duty and demand our rights. Let us do our
duty cheerfully, promptly and faithfully.—
Let us demand our rights resolutely and firm
ly, in all their fullness. He who fails to do
his duty is untrue to his country. Ile who
fails to dematid his rights is false to the prin
ciples of liberty and freedom!'
llTbe Philadelphia " organ " of the Ad
ministration, says the Philadelphia Aye, in
commenting upon the terrible riot in New
York, seeks to throw the responsibility of the
fearful outbreak upon the shoulders of the
Democratic party in that city. This perver
sion of the truth was, of course, expected from
that journal ; but what will the public say of
the editor of the Press, who, in an address
delivered at Lancaster, uttered the following
inflamamtory sentiments:
" What is there in our happy country to
make men afraid of the light of day, or of hon
est inquiry? Have we a conscript law that
tears th, husbandman from his plow, the fath
er from his family, the eon from his widowed
mother, to go forth and act as gladiators for
the amusement of a few ambitious kings?—
Have we a gang of hired tax-gatherers to drain
the substance of the people ? Is our Presi—
dent an Attilla or a Caligula ? Is our Sen
ate a Council of Ten ? Is our House of Rep
resentatives a body of tyrants, armed with
power to ravish and destroy ? Secret usurpa
pationagainst such wrongs would be justifiable
and right, for we are taught the great lesson
that " resistance to tyrants is obedienee to
God !"
For The Intellig,encor.
Permit one who has taken no part In the politics which
now so unhappily distract the country, but whose desire
for the reestablishment of the Onion upon a firm and last.
ing baste of peace and prosperity is just as ardent as when
he first heard of the infamous attack upon Fort Sumpter,
to address a few words, through your columns, to those
npon whom the lot has fallen to serve their country in the
field. The hsrdship of any must be apparent
to every one—against its fairness no one can otter a tulle
tile. The attempt en the part of such evil-disposed persons,
through Lim - mance, to Interfere violently with Its progress
should I e frowned upon by every one. Tho country need
ed soldiers, the Administration called for them. There
could be no fairer way of procuring them than by that
resorted to. Especially should the German population
acquiesce in the traditional policy of their ancestors, of
whom Tacitus says. that they never undertook any enter
prise cf importance without first consulting the "lots" and
always abided by their decisien. True we cannot always
reconcile our wishes to the dispensations of Providence.or
sag al ace quietly to its mysterious way. We see through
glass darkly. How then may we mitigate the hardships
of the conscription and reconcile the adjustments of Prov
idence to the minds of those to whom they appear harsh
and grating? The objectionable feature of the bill appears
to be that those who hare means may sktdk brhind the
$3OO, and tarn aside the finger of Providence which pointed
to them as the sacrifices from which they could emerge as
the chrysalis with all the effulgent glory of true patriots.
The Government does not want your $3OO, my wealthy
friend, but your personal services. It wants not money
but soldiers, and above all things it wants effective soldiers
.—such as will take to the service kindly and willingly.—
It desires your personal services for another and a very
weighty reason, viz: because they will reconcile the un
willing. It will leave them no single ground of complaint.
They will feel their position one of disgrace if yon, the
adviser of their opinions, stay at home; one a proud
honor and distinction If you accompany them In the ranks.
With how mach more cheerfulness would the poor man
leave his home and fate ily, with how much more stately
manliness and sterner courage would he face the enemy
in the field If he saw by his side such men as the late
Draft Commissioner of the county, or any of the prominent
ministers, editors, business mon or lawyers upon whom
this Imperative colt has been 'made? I hope that the re.
ports I hear that all of this description (I refer of roars, to
the loyal, for the disloyal I no word) intend to go will
prove correct.

I endor,a y ur to table platform—elegant in
071-, adro;rlble in s-ntiment You present
the true and commit your:Ares to the
greet mi. , -don just now of the Dsmocratic
re.tore and melte sore FIRST the
rights end liberties declared yours by your
eristituri•-,ns. It is in vain to invite the
States and people of the S ;nth to return to a
Union without a cons.itution, and dishonored
and polluted by repeated and most aggrava
ted exaction:' of tyrannis power. It is base
in yourselves, and treasonable to your pos
terity, to so .t.entler those 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 the people, and a free ballot 'any longer
in Ohio? Shall the people hereafter, as hith•
uric, have the right to discuss and condemn
the principles and policy of the party—the
ministry—the men who, for the time, conduct
the' government—to demand of their public
servants a reckoning of their stewardship,
nod to place other men and another party in
power at their supreme will and pleasute ?
Shall Order Thirty eight or the Constitution
be the supreme law of the land ? And shall
the citizen any more be arrested by an armed
soldiery at midnight, dragged from wife and
child end home to a military prison ; thence
to a mock.military trial ; thence condemned,
and then banished as a felon for the exercise
of his rights? This is the issue, and nobly
you have met it. It is the very question of
free. popular government itself. It is the
whole question ; upon the one side liberty,
on the other despotism. The President, as the
recognized head of his party, accepts the issue.
Whatever he wills, that is law. Constitu
tions, state and federal, are nothing ; acts of
legislation nothing; the judiciary less than
nothing. In time of war, there is but one
will supreme—his will ; but one law—mili
tary necessity, and he the sole judge. Mili-
tary orders supersede the Constitution, and
military 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 enforced.
It was the mission of the weak but presump
tuous Burnside—a name infamous forever in
the ears of all lovers of constitutional liberty.
—to try the experiment in Ohio—aided by a
judge whom I name not, because he 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 administration have accepted
it. By pledging support to the President,
they have justified his outrages upon liberty
and the Constitution ; and whoever gives hie
vote, to the candidates of that party, commits
himself to every act of violence and wrong
on the part of the administration which he
upholds ; and thus, by the law of retaliation,
which is the law of might, would forfeit his
own right to liberty, personal and political,
whensoever other men and another party
shall hold the power. Much more do , the
candidates themselves. Suffer them not, I
entreat you, to evade the issue ; and by the
judgment of the people wo will abide.
And now, finally, let me ask, what is the
pretext for all the monstrous acts and claims
of arbitrary power which you have so nobly
denounced " Military necessity." But if,
indeed, all these ho demanded by military
necessity, then believe me, your liberties.are
gone, and tyrrany is perpetual. For if this
civil war is to terminate only by the subju
gation 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. Travelling a
thousand miles and more, through nearly
one-half of the Confederate States, and so
journing for a time at widely different points,
I met not one man, woman or child who was
not resolved to perish rather than yield

Ms Second Address to the People of Ohio.
Re Accepts the Nomination for Governor,
and Defines his Position.
NIAOSRA PALS, CANADA. WEST,
July 15,1863.
Arrested and confined for three weeks in the
United States, a prisoner of state ; banished
thence to the Confederate States, and there
held as an alien enemy and prisoner of war,
though on parole; fairly and honorably dealt
with and given leave to depart, an act possible
only by running the blockade at the hazard of
being fired upon by ships flying the flag of my
own country, I found myself first a freeman
when on British soil. And to-day under pro
tection of the British flag, I 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
despots at Washington, and their advisers,
has been defeated. Nay, it has 'been turned
against them ; and I, who for two years was
maligned as in secret league with the Con.r
federates, having refused when in their midst,
to identify myself with their cause or even so
much as to remain, preferring rather exile in
a foreign lend, return now with allegiance
to my own State and government unbroken in
word, thought, or deed, and with every dec
laration and pledge to you while at home, and
before I was stolen away, made good in spirit
and to the very letter.
Six weeks ago, when just going into ban
ishment because an audacious but most cow
ardly despotism caused it, I addressed you as
a fellow citizen. To day, and from the place
then selected by me, but after wearisome
and most perilous journeyings for more than
four thousand miles by land and upon the
sea, still in exile, though almost within sight
of my native State, I greet you as your rep
resentative. Grateful certainly I am for the
confidence in my integrity and patriotism,
implied by the unanimous nomination as can
didate for Governor of Ohio, which you gave
me while I was yet in the Confederate States.
It was not misplaced ; it shall never be
abused. But this is the last of all considera
tions in times like these. I ask no personal
sympathy for the personal wrong. No ; it is
the cause of constitutional liberty and private
right, cruelly outraged beyond example in a
free cenn.ry, by the President and his ser
vants, which given public significancy to the
action of your coaceetion. Yours was indeed
an act of justice to a citizen who, for his
devotion to the rights of the States and the
liberties of the people, had been marked for
destruction by the hand of arbitrary power.
But it was much more. It was an example
of courage worthy of the heroic ages of the
world ; and it was a spectacle 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 despo
tism in its stead. You aro the restorers and
defenders of constitutional liberty, and by
that proud title history will salute you.
I congratulate von upon your nominations.
They wham you have placed upon the-ticket
with me are gentlemen of character, ability,
integrity, and tried fidelity to the Constitution,
the Union, aid to Liberty. .Their moral and
political courage—a quality ala-aye rare, and
now the most valuable of public virtues—is
beyond question. Every way all these were
nominations fit to be made. And even jeal
ousy, I am sure, will now be hushed, if I
e.:pecially . 'rej flee with you in the nomination
of Mr. Pugh vur candidate fur Lieutenant
G tremor end President of the Senate. A
sch dar and a gentleman, a soldier in a foreign
war, and always a patriot; eminent as a
lawyer, end distinguished as an orator and a
statesman, I hail his acceptance as an omen
of the return i,f the better and more virtuous
dace of the
all of which I recognize the LiM:id of. Provi
dence pointing visibly to the ultimate issue
of this great trial of the States and people
,of
America, they are better prepared now every
i
way to make good their nexorable purpose
than at any period since the beginning of the
struggle. These may indeed be unwelcome
truths; but they are addressed only to can
did and honest men . . Neither, however, let
me add, did I meet any one, whatever his
opinions or his station, political or private,
who did not declare his readiness, when the
war shall have ceased and invading armies been
withdrawn.to consider and discuss the question
of re-union. And who shall doubt the issue of
the argument? I returu,therefore,with my opin
ions and convictions as to war or peace.and my
faith as to final results from sound policy and
wise statesmanship, not only unchanged, but
confirmed and strengthened. And may . die
God of heaven and earth so rule the hearts'and
minds of Americans everywhere, that with
Constitution maintained, a Union restored,
and liberty henceforth made secure, alrantler
and nobler destiny shall yet be ours, than that
even which blessed our fathers in the first two
ages of the Republic.
