Judge your public men fairly but fro ely. Lot no man put a padlock upon your lips, nor impose upon you any of tho false and pornieious sophisms of arbitrary power.

Wasto no part of your time in personal defence of the candidates and speakers of the Anti Administration's party, I lcavo undisturbed the brave and chivalrous work of assailiug an opponant absent because tho tyrannio power of tho master, execut ed by military forco, compels it. Tho great issuo of tho day ought not to bo sub ordinated to things merely personal, and I reconimoad to my friends generally that they imitate the wise Roman, and carry the war into Africa. Tho Democracy of Lucas, postponing all other issue?, and ignoring all differen ces of opinion in regard to them, assemble, of course, to consider what General Fre mont, the candidate of tho frco speech and free press Republican party of 1850, very ptly stylos tho uppermost question of the ay tho quostion of their own constitu tional rights and liberties. This is tho practical issue iu the Ohio campaign, foro- d by tho President and his party upon tho people, and boldly met by tho Demoe- acy, in their nominations, and also in their adraitablc platform, which, aa a can didate, I accept as their solemn aud delib erate confession of political faith, and their pledge to tho country that thoy mean to defend the rights asserted in- it with their lives, their fortunes and their sacred hon ors. Until these shall havo been made secure, it can be neither useful nor posei ble to discusa any other question, and di rectly connected with it. Here is, indeed, just such a quostion one second only in importance to that of public liberty. The Union of tho States is worth tho whole world o tho American people, but liberty is tho soul of a people ; and what shall it profit us to gain the whole world and loso our own soul 1 Tlio Constitution made tho Uuion, and when the war began, it was proclaimed to bo for the Constitution and laws, and what ever difference of qpinion there may havo been even then as to the mode of securing it. every patriotic citizen of tho United States know what tho laws and tho Consti tution wcro But what do wo sec to-day ?

Aud, if wo ourselves scorn to yield up our constitutional rights and liberties to this monstrous demand, floes any lrortorable man, any sane man, ask or expeot tho States and tho peopla of the South to sur- rendo- so long as a man survives to strike a blow, or a woman to strengthen his heart or neave his arm ?

UotV Morgan got Three Hundred Horsed John Morgan is as cood at Dlavine a joko sometimes as ho is at borso stealing, anu tuc louowing incident will prove that on this occasion he did a little of both at the samo time : During his celebrated tour through Indiana he, with about thrco hundred and fifty guerrillas, took occasion to pay a visit to a littlo town hard by while tho main body were "marching on." Dashing suddenly into tho littlo "burg," ho tound about three hundred home guards each having a good horse tied to tho fenco the men standing about in groupS) awaiting orders from their aged captain, who looked as if ho had seen the shady si do of sixty yoars. Tho Hoosicr boy a looked at the men with astonislimcot,whilo the captain went up to ono of tho party and asked : ' Whose company is this ?" "Wolford's oavalry," said tho rob. ''Whatl Kentucky boys! Wo'ro glad to see you, boys. Whar's Wolford V "Thcro ho sits," said a ragged, rough reb, pointing to Morgan, who was sitting sideways upon his horse. Tho captain walked up to Wolford (as he and all thought) aud saluted him : "Captain how aro you ! "Dully! How aro you? What arc you going to do with all theso men and horses ?" Morgan looked about, "Well, you sec that d d horso thieving John Morgan is in this part of tho country with a passcl of cut throats and thieves, between you and I, if he comes up this way, captain wo'llgive him tho best wo'vo got in the shop." "He's hard to catch ; wo've been after him for fourteen days, and can't see him at all," said Morgan, good humoredly. "Efour horses would stand firo wo'd I,o nil rirrlit'' "Won't they stand ?" "No, Captain Wolford ; sposo while your ristin,' you and your company put your saddles on our horses,and go through a little evolution or two, by way of a les son to our boys.

And the only man Morgan is afraid of, Yolford (as it were) alighted and order ed "his boys" to disraout, as he wanted to show tho Hoosicr boys how to give Morgan a warm reception should ho chance to pay them a visit. This delighted tho Hoosicr boys, so they went to work and assisted the men to tie their old weary worn-out bones to tho leuccs, and placo their saddles upon the backs of their fresh horses, which was coon done, and the men wero in their saddles, drawn Leagues, but do not in lino, anu bo conquered, but tho hearts of tho people j ready for the word.
