A Remarkable Speech by Senator
Trumbull. He Declares that the People have the Right to Ciuticise the Acts of their IYblic Servants-Denunciation of Unconstitutional Measures-He Arraionb the Administration for mav - ino Committed Fatal Blunders, fcc. At the Republican meeting in the
Cnuit House Square on 1 hursday even-j jjmr I a, distasteful, but am 1 not ing, after speeches by Hon. William truthlul ? I would claim you reasonsdiKellogg and Senator Doolittle, of Wis-i vetP( Qf passion. The same chalice yon consin, Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Senator 1(Jld to the lips of your adversaries to for Illinois, was introduced. He was an-'day, t morrow may be returned to your nonnced amid a perfect storm of cres f'-r litjs. Would vou like to drink of it?
r ! .Iennioii, the murderer, which had saluTi'il flw pars f iiievioiis sneaker u the ' meet ing whenever the crowd neated their barricade. The crowd evidedt.y wis tea to iret rid of him, expecting, from the events of the two previous days the sent i'uientg they had beared. 1 he speech was la significant one, au !, in view of the remai kable chanire ol policy in the Repubi; ,.. w hvit jt foreshadows, will l'-'- wiwi-.i attract universal attention. Mr. Trumbull said : It was rather embarrassing to speak to an audience which insisted on hearing smile one else, but solemn convictions ot duty compelled hira to speak, when under ordinary circumstances he would have remained silent. He did not come to inflame their passions, already too much aroused. The'"' country was in danger, and they must look the peril in t lie lace. No adjectives he could pile up. no vile names he could apply to lhoe who do not agree with him, calling them copperheads and traitors, would ast-i.st in arresting this rebellion or in asserting the supremacy ot the Constitution and the laws. He did not desire to inspire them with a hurrah, but he wished to talk to their judgments and inspire theiu through ap peals to their reasons. The times, he said, aregrave! A ma jority of the people of our Slate are tak ing ground against tne Administration and why ? In the name of Heaven, why is i his ? 1 will tell you why ; 1 wilt point mt to you some ot our mistakes that they niMy be corrected in theluture. The leason is we have not ud acred lo David Crockett's motto, sure you Ave right and then go ahead." A voice " e are always right. J lhnxeuveii long enough to know that 1 am not, infallible, perhaps yon are; 1 have borne respect lor the opinion of others. One of our mistakes is that we have allowed our opponents to make false issues. IS ut this is not the worst. Tingi eat change, the change that has damaged the Administration above all oth- : i I ers, is mm we are in lavor oi me exer cise of arbitrary power, that we are opposed to the fieedom of speech aud opinion, to the fieedom of the press, iu lavo. of curtailing personal liberty, and in fa vor of a despotism. Now we should noi allow these things. We have been the tdvocate of I ree speech for the last forty years, and should not allow the part which during that whole time has advo ated the gag to usinp our place. W are lighting lor ihe restoiation o: the Union, and the preset vatioti of th. Constitution, and all the libeities ft guai mtees to eveiy citizen. And it make. lie feel bad when 1 hear Mme hones .rtend, brimming lull of patriotism, ta lie does not caie for the Constitution, am. toes not want to have it torced into hi way, or thrust in his face until the war i over. The Ilebels can not thrust it ii his face, lor they have no rights undent no rights under it, save the riht to b. triel and hung tor treason. Continue, applause. In certain districts, the military law i -upieme. Gen. Grant is iu command o n a; my in the Siate of Mississippi, v hit. h is in revolt. Will any otietteii lis right to make arrests, his right t -nppiess newspapers, and to level file, like those aiouud you to night in oide. ;o got a range for his guns? No. An. vet these ie all arbitrary powers-, liin the-e exercises of it are not the trouble otne cases. The great difhVulty is in those districts where rightful civil government is in operation, w here the judici.'l tribunals are open, and the laws resected the laws which atVord a remedy Un every wrong. As a rule, we must remem ber that the civil law is superior to the military law, an I the cases are rare, very rare, where the rule can be reversed, li here resolves itself into the plain, naked question of whether the President and his Generals, by the simple clicking of a tel egraphic instrument, can cau-e the imprisonment of A. U. orC. If one General can do it, another t an do it, and where is the end ? who will fix the limit? Great sensation and murmurs. Do von oronovfl to interfere with the ballot box ? Cries of No! No !" "Never, Never." fiom all parta ol the meeting. I am glad to hear you say that, and glad you are so unanimous. Did it ever occur to yon that the next election mar put an -entirely ditFereut face on affair, ? The next election may bring great and deplorable changes, when Vl!ni.!whm and men of hi class may determine who are to be arrested. Cries ' L.

Cries for Jennison," and "Give us somebody el-e." 1 see that I am distasteful, but I cannot help it. and will not detain you Jong. Who is there among yon who does not believe in adhering utiictly to the Constitution in these times, and 'extenditVg to every citiV.en of tjia loyal States its guarrantfes ?

Has it come to this, thai you will deny, in i he free city. of Chicago, the right ot a citizen to discuss the acts of the President ? Cries of "We wont allow it," uid "Noue but copperheads do that, and we will stop them." Is there a man in the au lien ae who has not expressed to !ay his dissatisla- ti n with some act ol the President ? Cries of "YeR. yes we :iave none of ns expressed any dissatisfaction." Ah. do all of you. then, hink the President's revocation of Gen. Uiunside's order, suppressing the Chicago l imes was right? Cries of "No, no, it was wrong." ' H ought to have en forced the order."

Be UsAy For An Emergency. LETTER FROM Hoy. EDMCSD BCBKK. To the Iditor of the Xational Eagle : In voir issue of the 16'h iust.. I noticed a communication dated at "Hilton Head,S. CJ, April 1st ; 1863." signed "G II. W.," purporting to have been written by a soldier, in which ltiudthe following sentences : "I would like to come North, and stop one week. 1 would appoint a Copperhead funeral evtry day, and would see that a corpse vas ready." . "I
would as soon shoot a ''Copperhead" as 1 would a snake b that name." From the language of th Republican press and orators, 1 understand a "Copperhead" to be a Democrat. It is a blacK guard term, but 1 do not quarrel with the Republican presses and orators for using it, they being the best judges of whhat is becoming aud respectable for them in the matter of manners. Such being the meaning of the tei in, the soldier, therefore, who wrote the letter published in your paper, avows his detei initiation to shoot aud murder his fellow-citizens be caue they believe in the Democratic faidi, and Mippoitlhe principles and policy ol the Democratic party Yon publish the letter without a word of comment or dissent from the atrocious and murderous sentiments which it ex presses. You thus, unwittingly, I hope contribute tbe influence of your paper to stir up to deeds ot violence, enrage, and blood, the latent, .un lisciplined passions of society, which, when once let loose; like faniishmg wolves, know no restraint or moderation. Have you reflected upon th? probable consequences ol the utteiauce of such mrl imatory and vile sentiments as are con tained iu the letter of the soldier's above referred to, and are common in the col umns of the Republican press and iu the mouth ol Republican orators? If they were to prevail, would ycwle entirely safe? II Democrats, or "Copperheads" as tve are called, in derision, by a party who carry on their shouldeis the awlul and appalling sin of being the primary authois of the present civil wai are to be shot down and murdered in cold blood, do you think that the public fieace would be long maintained in the .ioiui, aim mar. you, "cpuuucans would t sea he all danger "Liay no ... ..'.'.i I such flittering unction t lMl4B 1.,. .

The first Demoi-.vt shot down will be the sigm 1 for the sla-oghter of a Republican, and ih horrible work once begun, where woul. it end ? And what would be the fate the RepubliVans betweau the fire of the rebels on one side and the outraged an incensed Democrats on the other? I will answer uuturtler than to say that tn. Democracy would not be ttiegieatest Miff erers in the end, and would not he anni hilated. . We do not enter intr any defense o our patiiotism and loyalty in comparisot. with the patri tim an I loyalty ot R publicans. We hive alws a been true t our country and the Union. We hav iieen neither the originators nor lotueii tors of a sectional party, which has re suited in the d'trn tiou oi'thi Union ai d in civil war. We have opposed tiie caus es and the men that have brought the -alamitous results upon the country And ye have rallied with as much Z"al n the Republicans to the support of the ex isting Administration in its constitution lmea-ures tti repair the huge mischief which the Republican party has been m .truniental iu bringing about; at th ame time being resolved to hold tha party responsible at the bar of God an ihe people for their agency in this tern hi business of destroying our country ind from which responsibility we do no intend they shall escape by any threats o imnaccs of violence to ourselves. An finally, the Democracy are resolved tmaintain their rights at all hazarda, le them be assailed from whatever sourc. i hey may. And in view of the blood menaces whi h appear in Republican papers and fall from the lips ol R'pnblicai orators, I say to my D MitociaiL' fiieuds Be ready for any emergen y. 1 therefore submit to your cool an; calm judgment, w he her it is best or pro dent, for R-'pn1 lican presses, orator-, o. soldiers, to indulge in any more threat r to murder Democrats, or to commit outrages npnn i hem, because they claim an will enjoy the right and piivi eges oi Ameri an citizens. 1 can hardly think t.ie leaders of the Re) ubli an party reall desire to inaugurate murder, revolution, and anarchy at their own doors. But 1 may be mistaken. Their infatuation in this- dark period of our country's peri! at d suffrr'ng i astonishing, and n bty ci n foresee to what folly, crime, afld valamit) it may lead. If the Administration and thff RVnhlican soldiers would display half a- much solution and energy in conquering tin rebels as they manifest in their endea vors to put down the Democratic party, they might win soma victories hicli would be creditable to themselves and the country. But the conque-t and sub jugation of the Democratic party .hey will nn l to be an utter impossibility. whether they attempt to accomplish the . . a - I -esnlt by contumely, threats, of arm.- . .

Tne S gas of the Times. The following remarkable article appeared in the New York Herald of Saturday last. It will be remembered that the Herald is a warm supporter of President Lincoln and the vigorous prosecution of the war. There are many and great indication! of .the commencement of a powerful reaction in the public mind ou the subject of the war and the question out of which it arose, as well as from the signal failure of ihe Administration, both in their mili
tary aud civil conduct ot the war. At the presvnt moment all is confusion, because the popular sentiment is in a transition state ; but order will soon Le evolved out of political chaos, an 1 tbe counterrevolution will stand tiiumphaut and acknowledged by all. The excite. nent and in HSnation produced throughout the land ly Gen. Bumside's high-handed aud iil-gal proceedings against Mr. Yallandigham, aud bit silly course in suppressing the Chicago Times, because it commented severely upon those proceedings, are among the uumistakaule evidences of the revulsion Aiu.c-Acn onisi. gum lucasuics, as aiuv. only uucoustitutional, but extremely impolitic and dangerous. The Legislature " "J'" 19 1 mee' tenty Republicans. ol Illinois, by a vote of. forty-seven to oroiioiinceu against me military ouiraga upon tlw Chicago papsr. Tue President, obeying his own humane instincts and the popular will, is at 1 ist compell ed to rebuk the Secretary of War and Burnside together by directing the latter to revoke his order overthrowing by, military force the freedom. of the press in his department. If Mr. Lincoln would now issue a countermand to the order sending Vallandighani into exile he would wisely crown his conciliatory policy, aud give a mortal blow to the radicals in the Cabinet and out ofit.b whose advice so unfortunate a step was taken. It was this "political blunder, worse than a crime," that developed and brought out the latent popular feeling against the Administration at the creat meeting of the Democracy in this city on Wednesday last a meeting of thirty thousand men, headed by Fernanda Wood, anil breathing an earliest and un fahe. ing determination to put a stop to hostilities against the , Southern Sta'ea and toreatore the Union, not by the science of war, but the arts of peace. Tho prolonged exile of Yallandigham will contribute to furnUb fuel tor the fianie throughout the whole of the Presidential campaign ; and it will be th) moreeffect--ive becausa it is utterly unjustifiable upon any principles known to our Constitution and laws, contraiy to all prece dent in history, and stripped even of the plea of necessity. The ball is now fairly set in motion ia this State, aud its progress will be irresistablc. Any violent opposi:ion to it will only serve to demonstiatethe impetus it has received. If the R.-geucy, instead of getting on the same traiu, should run a Slate ticket directly against it next fall, the locomotive aud cars would be smashed by the weight aud momentum of the locomotive aud cars engineered by Fernando Woo l ; and if the train of the liee;icy should undertake to move in the -a. lie direction on the same track, by starting a little aheal, it would be soon overtaken an 1 drivu off the track by the -upeiior speed of the engine called Miiart Hall. .If, on the other hand, the Albany concern should conclude to follow id the wake of th. New York engine, it would be "nowhere" in the race, its only safe policy, therefore, is to hitch itself to Mozart Hall. If the Regency i un a sepaiaie State ticket next tall it may prevent the peace patty being successful ; but it will not only uot win itsell, but demonstrate that it is in a small minority. In that event the Republicans will carry the State elections. But tbe peace men, being a majority in theDemociatic party, will claim the right to shape its policy, and for tho sake ol harmoiiy aud in order to oust the Republicans trom office, the minority will acquiesce, and the same will take plate in etery o.h.r State ; for like causes will producelike effects, to say nothing of the influence of the example of tho Empire State. The platform of the Domocrary in the Presidential campaign of 161 will be peace ; and, what is more, the candidate will be elected no matter who he is, the pi inciple controlling all other considerations!
