THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT VER
MILLION, OHIO-HON. S. S. COX INTER
RUPTED BY AN ABOLITION DOCTOR
FROM OBERLIN-LCOX QUESTIONS HIM-
A SPLENDID POLITICAL TILT-PLENTY
OF FUN:
prom the Erie bounty (Ohio) News, August 13.
Many of our readers do not know that quite
a number of Republicans were at the Demo
cratic meeting at Vermillion on the 7th inst.
The crowd, as we have heretofore said, was
immense; and iu a Western Reserve county,
only a few miles from the seat of Abolition
ism,.oberlin, it could not well he, otherwise
than-that s - goodly sad' godly sprinkling of
fanatics were on hand, though we do not sup
pose. they would average one to every hundred
in attendance. The Republicans, however,
being astonished at the turn-out, claimed that
many of their party attended the meeting. If
this is the fact, we failed to - discover them, as
all, with one exception, cheered the speakers,
and appeared to be "at home."
When Mr. Pendleton spoke a certain learned
Doctor (Bigelow, we believe, his name is) of
Oberlin, began, as Cox expresses it, "to pro
pound interrogatories." He tried some 'dozen
on the Cincinnati Congressman, who deftly
drew him out into the admission that he didn't
want the old Union, - with slavery. After he
had been lashed into seeming good order by
Mr. Pendleton, he again essayed to "pro
pound" while Mr. Cox was speaking. The
surgical operation by which his hide was taken
off, and his, flesh lacerated, and his bones
pounded in a mortar, has never bad a parallel
in this part'of Ohio.
We. arcrequested, as secretary and reporter
of the meeting, to give a sketch of the perfor
mance; but• no pen can picture it. 'The im
mense crowd of Germans, which Mr. Dreesel
had been addressing, adjourned and helped to
swell the main meeting; and the assemblage,
for size, for animation, for the place, (on the
lake shore, in a beautiful grove,) was one rare
for this part of Ohio. The Oberlin Doctor was
a severe•looking man, with iron gray hair and
beard, He carried a heavy cane with which
he propped up a heavy chin; and he seemed
as defiant as Don Quixote, and as sanctimoni
ous as Praise God Barebones.
When Mr. Cox began he took up a position
immediately beneath him; the crowd pressed
up close, and at the first fire all became eager
to hear. The large stand was immediately
overcrowded with people.
Mr. Cox was declaring that, however wrong
and disloyal Democrats might be, it did not
become the Western Reserve Republicans to
reproach them. Re would take no lessons of
_patriotism from such seditious people. Ile
would not call names; he would leave that to
his opponents. If he said that the Republi
cans of the Reserve were Abolitionists, Null
tiers and Secessionists ' he would prove it by
their own testimony. If he could not convince
them of the virtue of Democracy. he would at
least close their own pharisaical cant about
the Union. The person, said Mr. Cox, who
has been interrupting Mr. Pendleton, does not
know, perhaps, that he has been singing over
and over again Greeley's song about the flag:
4 ‘ Tear down the flaunting , lid,
Half mast tee starry deg,
In -nit no seining sky
With hate's polluted rag."
For my friend, Mr. Pendleton, married a
daughter of the poet Key, who wrote the Star
Spangled Banner. [Cheers.] We have the
old flog on our side, Llaughierd and this dis
ciple of Greeley can't rear it down, even in this
Reserve. Ido not know who this maligner of
our party is ; but I will wager something that
he is from Oberlin.
Several voices. "You're right. He is one
of the taints." [Llughter.]
Mr. Cox, I will show you that, if he be
honest, he is a disunionist. If he will give
me his attention a moment, he will see himself
in a mirror. You believe, sir, in Wendell Phil
lips—don't you ?
Dr. Bigelow. Yes • sir • and I can handle you
at any time.
Mr. Cox. Well, you will see about that when
we get through. Judging by the way your
forehead retreats so rapidly, I have handled
your betters. [4. laugh.] Wendell Phillips
said : "UatillB46 we thought it possible to kill
slavery and save the Union. We then said,
*O•fer the, ruins of the American church and
tbe Union is tee only way to frticdont.' Prom
1846 to 1861 We preached that lesson."—'
By your admission to Mr. Pendleton that you
are no; for the old Union. you have also been
hand in band with Wendell Phillips. Perhaps
you were heneet in it, You do not went to be
particepa crimirtia with the pitmen and criminals
who hold slaves—do you, sir?
Dr. B. Never.

Wolcott, and • your Rev. Brewster, and your
negro orator Langston, deified the horse-thief,
marauder and murderer, yob were there, I doubt
Dr. B. assented.
Mr. Cox. You shouted when Mr. Langston
said F ''But why preserve the Union, since its
only object is to eternaliz3 slaVery ? Such a
Union is not worth perpetuating. With all my
heart, I should say let it he abolished. I hate
the Union of these States as I do the devil, for
by it I am bereft of every right, as a citizen,
and denied all protection for my personal lib
erty." Oh I yes, personal liberty was a-great
thing for negroes, when you defied the Consti
tution ; but it is a poor thing for a white man,
like Vallandigham, when the Constitution is
outraged. Langston,
your disunion negro, is
raising regiments of blacks to fight now, and
Mr. Vallandigham is in exile because he loved
the. Union better than even his own personal
freedom. At this same meeting of your Reserve
dtaunionists—and I read it from a pamphlet
printed.by your friends—it was resolved (page
8) thai, "in such a contest, and under such a
dire necessity, .we say, let freedom stand,
though the Union be dissolved." The dire
necessity was the choking of John Brown.—
Because Virginia did that you would not live
with her in the Union. I submit to you now
whether you did not deserve his fate. [Cheers.]
You see, air, that I prove all I say as I go
along. Now to prove you a secessionist, I
have here a speech of President Lincoln, prin
ted by himself, at the office- of J. & G. S. Gid
eon, in 'reference to the President's Message.
It was (Llopaed January 14, 1848_ On the
eighth page be declares that "any people, any
where, being inclined, and having the power,
have the right to rise up and shake off the ex •
isting government, and form ar new one that
suits them better. Any portion of such people
may revolutionize and make their own of so
much of the territory as they inhabit." You
voted for Lincoln ! Dtd you approve of that
doctrine ? I will prove that you did, for you
supported the men who plotted, by violence,
to nullify and overturn the Federal authority
in Ohio.
This people will remember the Wellington
rescue oases. A batch of revolutionists of
Oberlin move to break down the Federal au
thority right here. This man before me may
have helped to rescue the negro boy, John,
from United States officers. He is a pretty
person to call on others to-support the Federal
government ! [Laughter.] These 0 lerlin res
cuers were tried, convieteil,.hod about -to bo
sentenced 'by the Uoiteds States Court at Cleve
land, when a meeting was called at Cleveland,
to revolutionize, and, by violence, overthrow
the Federal power. They sought, like South
Carolina, the agency of the State to do it. The
Republican Governor, Chase, and his Attor
ney General, helped it on. I have the account
of that meeting in .a Republioan 'paper. Here
it is. filers Mr. Cox held up the - Ohio State
Journal, May 26, 1859, pretty well worn.] It
has seen some service, this paper; a little
worse for wear—like the 'Republican party.
[Laughter.]
Dr. D. Let me se it, if you please. [Mr.
COX handed it to the Doctor. He looked it
over, wiped his specks, and pronounced it
genuine."]
Mr. Cox. This paper says there were ten or
twelve thOnsand Republicans from the Reserve
present. No doubt . Oberlin was there: [Laugh
ter,] Perhaps you were there, sir?
lir. B. I was, and am proud of it.
Mr. Cox. And you approved of their action _
and their resolutions ?
Dr. B. Yes. sir; I,do, end did.
Mr. Cox. Now, I have, you. If I do not
prove you to be a secessionist, revolutionist,
and nullifier, then there is no truth in your
own statements. I read further that this vast
meeting marched into Cleveland with banners
with revolutionary devices and music. John,
Brown "had not then been hung, else they
would have sung his march, instead of playing
the " Marsellaise." Old men were put at the'
head of the preemies, with liege, imprinted
with t , 1776 " Then came the Loraine county
delegation—your crowd, air, of mobocrats
against the Union. You were in it. Perhaps
you carried the banner inscribed Loraine"
on one side, and on the other—
&glare is the Government—
Let tyrants beware."
Do you remember that ? *You Do. Well,
where was the government ? It was not then
in the administration—oh I no—you had not
then got, Lincoln and his Cabinet at Washing
ton. Here is the government"—in this mob
of law-haters and higher law revolutionists !
Here is the power to overthrow and destroy.
What a commentary ! We Democrats said then,
as now, that the government is not in - men ;
not, in mobs at Oberlin, nor agents at Washing
ton ; hut in the Constitution. [Cheers.] We
say let tyrants beware who violate the govern
mental chart. [Cheers.] We say stand by the
government against mobs in Ohio, in 1859, or
in New York city, in 1863: against ueurpo
tions of State authority in 1859, or of Federal
authority in 1863. [Cheers ] Yet it is the
Democracy that is reproached as disloyal by
such scum of sedition as floated to the surface
then, and has floated ever since.
This meeting was a type of the Republican
party. It followed Lincoln's doctrine. Every
prominent Republican in Ohio was there, in
person or by letter. You, my sweet evangeli
cal friend, voted for one of the committee on
resolutions, Mr. Blake, and made him Con
gressman. Chase approved by speech, and
Dennison by letter, of the meeting and its ob
jects. Giddings was Presiclnt. Perhaps you
have heard of him I
Dr. B. A nobler man does not breathe.
Mr. Cox. No doubt you approved of his
course. He told Mr. E wing, in his letter of
the 7th of November, 1860, when he "held up
to the Repuolicans the humbug of dissolution,
that he was a coward, and an unverile minion
of the slave power"—you thought him a pro
phet. When he advised you to shoot down
United States officers, with warrants Or fugi
tive ohms, as pirates, you thought him a loyal
patriot. When he glorified the State habeas
corpus, and the guaranties for the liberty of
negroes, you thought him a wise man. -. But
now, when your party despises habeas corpus,,
outrages personal freedom for white men, and,
by the perjury of an Ohio Governor, permits a
white man to be banished, not for crime, but
for prevention, you think you . are so high in
your loyalty that all Democrats are 'copper
bead traitors," [Cheers ] So much for Old-
Aline and the isetvism he taught and you 101-
lowed. Who else were at this revolutionary
meeting of traitors, to revolutionist "a por
tion" of the people against the Federal GOv

Langston—Tod'e orator for black troops—and

sedition, whose voices inspired the revolution
ists. One said ; 44 C/kilo shall not, .in.-God's

that.. •
Dr. B. assented.
Mr. Cox. He said, "Stand steady, trust in
God and keep your powder dry, and look for
the things that shall be." You had dry 'pow
der too. [Laughter.] Chase made ball cart
ridges at Columbus.. The things that should
be have since been—John. Brown, revolution,
and bloody war for the negro. Another said,
'Let the Federal authority make the issue
and test the fact whether we will execute our
laws. They know not bow soon the smoulder
ihg volcano will buret under their rotten car
casses." And you applauded that, and now
have the frigid coolness and brazen effrontery
to appear among us and talk, as you did to
Mr. Pendleton, about disloyal Democrats.—
[Cheers ] You do not deserve the attention
1 bestow, only that you are a typo of a elan
of slanderers. You approved of the resolu
tions, or "Declaration of Independence," as
it was called. You confessed that. Do you
remember them ? Here is one : "That the
enforcement of such laws (as the Fugitive
Slave Law) against an unwitting people is pro
ductive only of evils threatening the . public
order and the stability of governmental insti
tutions." You hurrahed for that ! What
now of the Conscription Law ? [Laughter.]
Some are unwilling to go to war. That law
compels; you would not enforce it—eh ?
[Laughter.] What a beautiful specimen of a
Copperhead! [Laughter.] Do you still ap
prove of that disloyal resolution 2 You are
ail at once dumb. [Cheers.] You were very
fond of talking all day. Your speech was ex
ceedingly free. Your intermeddling in this
meeting—like the intermeddling generally of
your class—was very unpleasantly disorderly
and conspicuous Why don't you answer
now? [Cries of "Hit him again"—"Bully
for Cox"—"He's nothing but a darned nigger
thief."] Ido not make any personal attacks
on him. He may have been a nigger thief;
no doubt he and his superiors have been
making trouble by their intermeddling poli
tics for thirty years ; but he is dumb as an
oyster now. Won't you please say, sir—now
do—whether you still favor that resolution.
Just nod; yes, or no. Not a nod. [Laugh- •

[Laughter.] Well, the Democracy say, "let

or not—till they are adjudicated to be void, or

Mr. Cox. Never mind that That is a do

prove this Oberlin evangelist to be a secession
ist. What else do Jeff.
_pay* and _his confed
erates hold, _ but that - they will not have United
States laws enforced on alt “unsiilling people?".
This is Lincoln's doctrine of 1848; and these
Reserve dittorganisere, aided by Chattel; Delano,
Dennison & CO., have ,been the friends and
alders of secessionists;
,for they afforded the
pretext and gave the provocation to Southern
revolt. [Cheers.]
Consult the ordinances of secession, and
Judge 13rinkerhofFs dissenting opinion in the
habeas corpus case from Oberlin, and you will
find this nullification doctrine laid down almost
as recorded in this Republican platform. It
is the ili.ito-Rights-Calhona doctrine intensi
fied and enlarged far 'beyond what Madison
ever dreamed, and far beyond. what Democrats
ever dreamed when they used it in their plat
forms. Madison never proposed to make nul
lification or secession the remedy for any grie
vance; but his remedy was, as ours is, under
the Constitntion, and by its amendments. This
was, and is, Democratic doctrine. But Aboli
tion made itself, as secession did, the sole judge
—above the Supreme Court, above all Federal
authority—of all the modes and measures of
redress. Hence, when this man before me ap
proved this heresy, he became the twin brother
of Jeff. Davis. [Laughter and cheers ] Ido
not know which is the meanest—revolution by
secession and war, or revolution ing l diGUlllybY
violent Abolitionism and Oberlin ethics. But
until both heresies are expunged from the
American mind, peace and good will will never
return.
At this time part of the stand gave way, in
consequence of being over-crowded, and fell
to the ground. Fortunately, no one was seri
ously injured, although Mr. Pendleton's son
was considerably bruised by others tilling upon
him. Mr. Cox and your reporter, being "light
weights," remsinrd above. Duriog the confu
sion the Oberlin evangelist slipped off, and was
seen no more. Mr. Cox soon resumed, and
closed his speech amid great enthuidasm. Such
a lesson to Oberlin was much ne , -ded It was
given with good humor, and will long be re
membered by the "salute" end others present.
