spirit nrf tothe very letter.
Six weeki ago, when just going into ban iehment, becauoe an audacijua but most rowardly despot ism cauaed it,! r ddreaeed you aa a fellow-eitizen, To-day, and fr m the very p!sce then ailected by me, but after wearisome and most perilous journeying for more than four thousand milre by land and upon the sea; still in exile, though almost in sight of my native State, I greet you asyour repreientative. Grateful eer tainly I am, fcr the confideaca in my integ rity and patriotism, implied by the unaniat oua nomination as candidate for Governor of Ohio, winch jroagsveme whi'el waiyst in the Confederate States. It waa not misplaced; it shall never be abused. Hut this is the last of all cooaideralione in times like these. I ask no personal sympathy for the peraonal wronaj. No: it ia the eaaae of constitutional I. beti) and private right cruel
ly outraged beyond example in a free coun-
a f-ee

discuae and condemn the principles and policy of the party the ministry the men, who, for the tine, conduct the Government
to demand sf their public servants a reek
oaing of their alewardshin. and to nlara or he
men and aa other psrty in power at their

soldiery at midnight, dragged from wife and
child and home, to a military prison; thence
to a mock military trial, thence condemned
and then baniahed aa a felon for the exer ciso of hia rights! This is the issue; and nobly have you met it. Ii is the very quea
tion of free, popular government itself. Ii is the whole question: upon the one side, liberty, on the other, despotism. The Pre
sident, ss the recognized head of his partyaccepts t!ie issue. Whatever he wills, thst is law. Constitutions, State and Federal, are nothing; the Judiciary lese than noth ing. In time of war, there is but one will aupreme-bie will; but one law military necessity , and he the sole judge. Military or ders supersede the Constitution, and military commissions usurp the plsce of the or dinary courts of justice in the IsncT Nor arc these mere idle claims. For two years and more, by srm. they have been enforced.
It waa the mission of the weak but nrea

may indeed be unwelcome truths; but they sre addreseed only to candid and honest men. Neither, however, let me add did I
meet any one, whatever bis opinions or hia

From the New York Sua. Remarkable Statement. The remarkable eietemeat of Secretary
Seward, in his speech on the oecssion of
lbs Vicksburg celebratioa at Washington oa Tssadsy night, to lbs effect that nhie War Slight Save been ended before it bear an if the counsels of the true patriots had bean
heeded," baa failed to attract aa much at
tention as it deserves It has only elicited
sn undergrowl of abuse from the radicals
a fact that sufficiently indicates who is hurt. If this terrible war could have been honor-
ably prevented, aa a Cabinet Minister has publicly declsred, it is evident that a fearful
responsibility rests with tha parties whose
evil counsels have produced euch frightful sacrifices of blood and treasure. The time
haa come for the people to kaow all the
lacts, and we trust that Secretary Seward and othera who are in a position to kaow the truth, will tell it felly snd freelv. The
secret history of this war has not yet been
divulged, and the publication of the facts
even al this late date, might remove many
oostacies :o peace and reunion.
One of the first duties of lbs new Con
gress will be to complete the bistorv of the
"Conduct of the Wsi" by investigating its causes; but in the meantime the statement of Mr. Seward should be established or reluted by such reliable details as may be avail-
able. ( onfiaeation
