Senator Trumbull On "free Speech."

At the republiean meeting o tK Court House Square on Thursday evenng, aiter speeches by Ilon. Win. Kelogg and Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, Ilon. Lyman Trumbull, Senator from Illinois, was introduced. He was ánnonnced amid a perfect storm oL nies for Jennison, tho murderer, whieh' had saluted the care of previous speakers of the meeting whonever the orowd neared tbeir barricade. The crowd evidently wmhed to getrid of him expect]g, from the events of tho tvvo ürevious daya, the sentiments which tht'v heard. The speech was a êig$, cant. one, and, in view of the remarleable change of policy in the republiean party whijh it forcslmdotvs, will attract universal atten'ü'oD. Mr. Trimibull said : It is rather embarrassing to attempt to speak to anaudience which innisted on hearing Söm'o one èlse, hut Bolemn convicüons of duty tíonipelled him to speak, wheri under prdiriarv circun.stanceis he woüJd have remaiccd silent. He did pot come to inflame their paeeions, álready too muoh aroused.r- Their country was in danger, and they pust look the peril in the face. Ná adjectives he could pile up, no vile ñames he could apply to these who do pot agree tvith him, calling them copperlu'ads and trsitora, "Aould assist ia arresting this rebellioo or in asserting the supremacy oi the constitution aud. tho laws. He did not desire to inspire them with a hwrah, but he wifhed to talk tó their judgments and inspire them through appeala to their reason. The times, he süid, are grave ! A majority of the peoplo are taking ground agaiost tbe administration, - and why F In the narre of Heayan,, whyisthis? I will tell yon why; I nil! point out to yuu some of our mistiikt-s thut they may be corrected in the future. The roanon is we have not adhered to David Crockütt's mottp,. "Be sure you'r rjgbt, and then go aiieud ! [A volee - " We are alwBys rigbt."J I have lived )ung euough "to know thnt I am not inlallible, perhapg youare; I have some respect for tbt opinión of othere. One of our inisUkes is that vvo hav ítllowed our opponents to mnke lalse. issues. Uut thits ie not the worst. The great charge, the phargo that ha damaged the administraron above all olht'is, is that we are in favor of th exeruiso of arbitrary power, that we are opponud to the freedom of speech and opinión, to the freedern of thé presa, in favor of cnrtailing petnonal; libort.y, and in fayor of a despotism. Now, wo should not allow these things. We bnve boen the advocates of freo speech for the kst forty yearo, and should not allow the partv which during that wholo tirne haa advocated the eag to ueufp otir place.
