 SPEECHES AND VOTES OF VALLANDIGIIAM, AND OTHERS,

 THE ENDORSEMENT OF HIS ACTS AND SENTIMENTS 
 BY HIS PARTY. 
 
 g^^ It is snid by one of the ablest of American Controversialists, that " tchile no »peak^ or 
 writer should mi^rfprrsetit an op/n-nent, he should not be allowed to misrepresent himself." This rule 
 has had i\ controUiutc influence in the preparation of this pamphlet. The render will therefore 
 observe that its leading statements or jiositions, are sustained hy a. reference to either offii-ial 
 publications or to those issued by Mr. Vallandigham or his friends. These onh/ are made to speak. 
 This fact gives more than ordinary value to the pamphlet, and will justify a calm and patient 
 perusal of its contents. 
 
 The present crisis of our country calls for [ 
 constant vigilance and ceaseless activity on the j 
 part of every lover of Republican Institutions. 
 It demands, too, the dissemination of import- 
 ant facts, and the blunt, fearless utterance of 
 vital truths. No one should be misled or de- 
 ceived by false issues or artful words, or party 
 prepossessions. The true views and real aims 
 of every candidate for office should be ex- j 
 amined and made known. 
 
 Clement L. Vallandigham, not because he ' 
 possesses any special intellectuality, or is dis- I 
 tinguished by any peculiar moral worth or ' 
 social standing, but because of his excessive 
 vanity and audacity, his fanatical passions and 
 morbid prejudice.-;, his destitution of patriotism 
 and traduction of the National Government, 
 has acquired a mure than ordinary notoriety. 
 
 It is important that his sentiments and aims 
 be exposed. This shall at once be done by a 
 reference to his votes in the lower House of 
 Congress, and by extracts from his speeches 
 in that body and in various sections ol the 
 country. 
 
 It will then be shown that his supporters 
 and advocates entertain similar opinions, and 
 aim 8* the same ultimate purposes. This, 
 indeeu iinol well be doubted ; for the rally- 
 ing cry of Copperheads, self-styled Democrats, 
 in nearly every section of the Union is — Val- 
 
 liANDlGUAMl 
 
 It is clear, in fact, from their words and 
 deeds that they think more highly of him than 
 they do of the imperiled interests of the na- 
 tion. 
 
 They stamp his n.ame in huge capitals and 
 in extended italics in their papers ; they cm- 
 blazon it, and wave it out on their l)anuers : 
 their orators Hop it and thunder it ; their con- | 
 veutions scream it, and their children shout it. I 
 
 With propriety they may be railed Vallandio- 
 
 IIAMEKS. 
 
 What he says, they say — what he writes, 
 they endorse — what he speaks, they applaud 
 They are. what he is, in every respect. All 
 this will be clearly shown. 
 
 IN 1800, AT TnE COOPER INSTITUTE. NEW YORK, 
 UE FAVOKED SECESSION. 
 
 On the 2d November, I860, Vallandigham 
 delivered an address in the Cooper institute, 
 in New York. He there said, "If any one or 
 more of the States of this Dnion should at any 
 time secede for reasons, the sufficiency and jus- 
 tice of which, before God, and the great tribu- 
 nal of history, they alone may judge, much as 
 I .should deplore it, I never w 'Uld. as « Repre- 
 sentative in the Congress of the United States, 
 vote one dollar of money whereby one drop of 
 American blood should be shed in a civil war." 
 
 IN THE CINCINNATI ENQI IllER OF IOtb OF NO- 
 VEMlJKIt, ISiV). HE DEFENDED THE COOI'ER 
 IN^TITUTE Sl'EECH. 
 
 This speech having become a subject of dis- 
 cussion, in a card in the "Cincinnati En- 
 quirer," of the lOth of November, 18*iO, he 
 admitted that he had uttered the words just 
 quoted, and then added : " And 1 now delib- 
 erately repeat, and reaffirm it, resolved, though 
 I stand alone, tho\igh all others yield and fall 
 away, to make it good to the last moment of 
 my public life. No menace, no public clamor, 
 no taunts, no sneers, nor foul detraction. Irom 
 any quarter, shall drive me from my firm pur- 
 pose." (See Cincinnati Enquirer, .November 
 10, 1800; also Appendix to Congressional 
 Globe, 2d Sess., 30th Cong., ]>. 243.) 
 
 Now, in view of these extracts, it cannot be 
 contended that it was anything which .Vr.

 Lincoln or the RepuhUtam party did. which drove 
 him into the advocacy of secession. 
 
 For it clearly api)cars, that like Seymour, 
 of New York, and Woodward, of Pennsylvania, 
 he was an original advocate of treason and 
 rebellion. 
 
 '■ Of his own/ree will, vithout any coercion or 
 compulsion whatever,"' at an early period, he 
 thrust. out for the gaze of all the "cloven 
 foot'' of disunion. 
 
 HIS DOTNfiS IN THE 2d SESSION. ZCym CONGRESS. 
 HE CLUNG TO HIS ORIGINAL VIEWS. HE VOTED 
 AGAIN^-T THE UESOLUTION OF THANKS TO 
 MAJOR ANDERSON. 
 
 It might have been supposed that when 
 dangers gathered, and finally threatened the 
 nation, a change would come over his 
 mind, and love of country have swept away 
 all base passions and traitorous feelings. But 
 alas, the supposition would have been vain ! 
 
 On the 7ih of January, 1861, Mr. Adrain 
 ofiFcred the following resolution in the House 
 of Representatives: I 
 
 " Resolved, That we fully approve of the bold and pa- 
 triotic act of Majur Anderson in wirlidrawing from Fort i 
 Moultrie tt> Fort Sum er. and of the deteriniuatiou of i 
 the President to Diiiinfnin that fearleea officer in his I 
 present position: and that we wUl support tlie Pret- i 
 idtnt in all amftitutional measures to enforce the laws and I 
 preserve the Union." I 
 
 The vote was yeas 124, nays 53. Among 
 the nay.^ was Vallandigham Even Cos could i 
 not go with him on this subject, and voted 
 with the majority. (Congressional Globe, part ' 
 1, 2d &CSS., JGth Cong., p. 280.) . j 
 
 HE OPPOSED AN ATTEMPT TO DETECT TRAITORS ' 
 A.ND MEASURES FOR THE DEFENCE OF WAJ-U- j 
 INUroN CITY. 
 
 After this vote against the gallant Major | 
 Anderson, and " all constitutional measures to 
 enforce the laws and preserve the Union" it was ' 
 to be expected that he would oppose any prop- ! 
 osition. which might be brought forward, for 
 ferreting out traitors, and for the defense of 
 the country. 
 
 Accordingly, on the 2d of Jannary, 1861, 
 his name is found with sixty-one others, among 
 them liARKSDALE, of Mississippi, and Pkvor, of 
 Viryinta, against a resolution of Mr. Howard, 
 of Michigan, which looked to the detection, 
 &c., of traitors in the employment of the Gov- 
 ernment. (Congressional Globe, 2d tjess., 36lh 
 Cong., part 1st, p. 296.) 
 
 And ou the I4th of the same month, he op- 
 posed, with fifty-four of his associates, a reso- 
 lution introduced by Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, 
 which was in these words : 
 
 " Jiesclved. That the Committee of the Whole on the 
 state of the Union bo discharged from the further con- 
 'ideratiun of House bill .\o.80O. to provide for orfTanizing 
 iind disciplining the militia ol the District of Columbia; 
 ixnd that the same may be made a special order fur to- 
 morrow, the lOlh instant, and from day to day until 
 linally disposed of." 
 
 At the lime this resolution was otTcred, the 
 capital of the nation was under the eyes and 
 within the grasp of conspirators, Yet Val- | 
 
 landigham arrayed himself against the organ- 
 ization of a force for the purpose' of protecting 
 the city and saving it from the vandalism of 
 traitors! ^^ | | , j f ^ 
 
 HE PROPOSED TO DIVIDE THE UNION INTO FOUR 
 SECTIONS— HE GOES IN FOR THE AMENDMENT 
 OF THE CONSTITUTION. 
 
 He does more than refuse to support meas- 
 ures lor the maintenance of the Government. 
 As the fawing spaniel crouches at the feet of 
 his master, ready to obey his command, so he 
 bent at the feet of the South — all corrupt and 
 guilty as she was — prepared to do her bidding. 
 It soon came. 
 
 On the I6th of January. 1861, a notorious 
 rebel, Mr. Gaiinett, of Virginia, said: "What 
 the minority section needs is power — power to 
 secure its rights against a majority section, 
 differing in opinion and institutions, and ani- 
 mated by fixfd hostility to those of the mi- 
 nority. The danger to the minority is not 
 only in hostile legislation, but in a hostile use 
 of Federal patronage and influence : and in 
 the absence of such positive protection as its 
 interests may require, whether in our foreign 
 relations, in expansion by territorial acquisi- 
 tion, or in forming new States by colonization 
 in such acquisition. To .seccre all this, the 
 
 SoiTH MUST HAVE AN ABSOLUTE VETO l.\ EVERy 
 DEPARTME.VT OF THE GOVERNMENT.' 
 
 Vallandigham, almost immediately, was at 
 work, and on the 7th of February, submitted 
 amendmcnls to the Constitution, consisting Cff 
 a preamble and three articles. In his ^first 
 article, he proposed dividing the United States 
 into /our sections, geograpliical sections. 
 
 The second proposed to render the voting on 
 important questions sectional, and that a^ma- 
 jority of Senators from each .section should i)e 
 necessary in ord'T to the passage of any "such 
 bill, order or resolution." It also proposed to 
 make the election of the President and Vice 
 President dependent upon a vote of the major- 
 ity of the electors from the four geographical 
 sections. 
 
 The third article explicitly provided for the 
 disruption of the Government — the secession of 
 any State — upon the consent of the Legisla- 
 ture of the section to which it belonged, and 
 that tiie President should have •• power to ad- 
 just with seceding States all questions arising 
 by reason of their secession." 
 
 Ih^ fourth article provided for the extension 
 of slavery to each of the sections and all ter- 
 ritories, '&C. (Cong. Globe, ib., p. 704.) 
 
 Here was all which Mr. Garnett on behalf 
 of the South demanded — "(in absolute veto in 
 every department of the Government" — the touth- 
 ernizing and ttctionalizing of the nation. 
 
 it mattered not that it roqiiired a destruc- 
 tion of the great temple of our liberties, reared 
 by the venerated hands of Washington, Jef- 
 ferson, and Madison, and their compeers! 
 
 It mattered not that in direct antagonism 
 with the immortal declaration of Jackson — 
 
*' Thf. Federal Union, it mu*t be prrterved" — it 
 calkd for the (Iflihenito nnd I'ornial recoj^ni- 
 tioii of llu' licri'sy of pectssioii I 
 
 V'alliiri(li;;li»iiii wiis propan-il for all llu'sc 
 thiiiK"! tiU'l yi'l, with this alt'Miipt let ulirr and 
 degrade the Constitution of the nution — iin- 
 forgottcn l).v the pi'oph — in the spritifr of 18ti2 
 he drew up, luni with Iviihiinlson uml Kniip]) 
 of Iliinoi<<, Law and Vorhecs of Indiana. I'erry 
 of New Jersey, Joiinson and Ancona of Penn- 
 sylvania, Shiel of Oregon, and his own collea- 
 gues, Allen. White. Nohle, Pendleton, and .Mor- 
 ris, signed an "address of Demorratic Mem- 
 bers of (Congress to the Deuiocracv of the 
 United States," in whieh it is slated that "the 
 more immediate issue' was 'Wo mainlnin the 
 Constitution o» it in, and to reitlnre the Union a» 
 it teas.' (Page 3 pamphlet edition printed by 
 L. Towers & Co., Washington, U. C.) 
 
 And ever since, this has been shrieked and 
 bellowed forth, as if it was the leading prin- 
 ciple in their creed — the guiding star of their 
 faction. What dee[) — base inconsistency is 
 here disclosed! 
 
 UlS SPKKCnKS .\ND ACTION-S IN THK FIRST SPE- 
 CIAL SK.^SIO.N OK TUK 37th t^1\r.KKS.-i. IIK 01'- 
 POSKt< THE COI.LKCTlbN OF REVENUE IN THE 
 SOUIHERN STATES. 
 
 The 2d session of the 36lh Congress closed 
 on the ?d of March 18GI. 
 
 It closed, with Vallandigham a bitter, ig- 
 noble, captions, unrelenting foe of the Nation- 
 al Government, an unscrupulous, persistent, 
 reckless advocate of secession and slavery. 
 
 The extra session convened on the 4th of 
 July, 1861. During the nearly four months 
 which intervene<l, in harmony with his senti- 
 ments and encouraged by his utterances, the 
 Southern Rebellicm had been fully inaugurated. 
 The nation's honor and glory had been bhroud- 
 ed by the smoke and flames that encircled 
 Fort Sumter. 
 
 The streets of Baltimore had been reddened 
 with the blood of patriotic soldiers rushing to 
 the defense of the nation's Capital. The brave 
 Ellsworth bad been murdered in Alexandria, 
 Va. 
 
 The noble Grebleand Winthrop were slaught- 
 ered at Big Bethel. The country was convul- 
 sed. Discord was abroad all through her ter- 
 ritory. Men of all schools and every party — 
 Douglas and Wright, Knox and Forney, John- 
 son and Hamilton in civil life — Butler and 
 Rosecrans, Dix and Cochrane, Mitchell and 
 Logan, Grant and .Meade, and others in the 
 military department, rallied around ''the old 
 Stars and Stripes.'' 
 
 But amid all, Vallandigham remained un- 
 moved, unthrilled by a single patriotic throb. 
 As he had left the previous regular session, he 
 came to the special session. 
 
 And hence, on the 10th of July, he voted 
 with Vorhees, H'oorf <•/ a/ , against the bill which 
 authorized the President, in case of the exis- 
 tence of unlawful combinations Ac, at any port 
 of entry, to collect the revenue at other ports 
 
 I until the obstructions ghoiild be removed. 
 
 (Congressional (Jlobe and appendix, 1st }Se9- 
 
 sion, 37th Congress, p. .'')•;.) And in the dii^cu')- 
 I sions of ir, he said. (p. 5.%) " I voted agnintt iho 
 
 bill of my colleague (a similar one) along with 
 I every gentleman on this side of the House 
 
 once or twice in ihe last session, and I shall 
 j vote now as 1 voted then." 
 
 IIK OPPOSED THE NATIONAL LOAN BILL. 
 
 After the bill for the "collection of the rev- 
 enue" had (>a8sed the House it went into the com- 
 mittee of the whole on the "National loan 
 bill." 
 
 Vallandigham at once (lung him.ielf against 
 the bill and poured out his abuse — nursed and 
 and warmed, against the President — aflirniing 
 that he, (the Presiileiit,)from tlie beginning had 
 " totally and wholly underestimated the mag- 
 nitude ami character of the revolution,'' (no^ re- 
 bellion in his views,) and then |)ronounced the 
 calling out of armed soldiers, "a wicked and 
 iiAZAiinois KXPEiiiMKST," the increase of the 
 army an act which had " no shadow or riobt," 
 and declared he was for "pkace." 
 
 And when Mr. liolman of Indiana, put this 
 inquiry to him : •' While the gentleman cen- 
 sures the administration, let me ask him wheth- 
 er, with his own constituents, he is resolved 
 that the Union shall be mainUiined?' he an- 
 swered in evasive words, saying, "my votes 
 shall speak for me on that subject, Ac: " and 
 so they had. and did, in accordance with his 
 " Coo[)er Institute speech," and spoke ever after 
 as before, 'a negative answer io the question.'' — 
 (lb., pp. 57-GO ) 
 
 His vote followed with Burnett of Kentucky, 
 Norton and Reed of Missouri, and Wood of New 
 York, 5 in all against the bill. 
 
 Richardson, Cox, Vorhees. and others of the 
 same school voted for the bill. (lb., p. 61.) 
 
 HE OPPOSED THE RAISING OF VOLUNTEERS. 
 
 As he arrayed himself against the National 
 loan, so he did against the bill providing for 
 volunteers for the preservation of the Govern- 
 ment and the suppression of the rebellion. He 
 proposed to amend the bill, as follows: -Pro- 
 \ vided, further, Thai before the President shall 
 have the right to call out any more volunteers 
 I than are already in the service, he shall np- 
 ' point seven commissioners, whose mission shall 
 I lie to accompany the Army on its march, to 
 receive and consider such propositions, if anr, 
 as may at any time be submitted from the ex- 
 ; ecutive of the so-called Confederate States, or 
 of any one of them, looking to a suspension 
 of hostilities and the return of said Mates, or 
 I any one of them, to the Union and to obedi- 
 I ence to the Federal Constitution and authori- 
 ; ty." (Con. G., p. 97.) This proposed amend- 
 1 ment called forth from a loyal Demoerat of 
 I Pennsylvania, Hendrick B. Wright, the follow- 
 ing remarks: (lb., p. 98.) "Mr. Wright— I am 
 I opposed to the amendment of the gentleman 
 , from Ohio, from the fact lint ii will be holdiii:; 
 
out to thoae men who are occupying a rebell- 
 ious atitude, a reward for their trtafon. * * 
 * * I am for peace, when those gentlemen 
 now fighting under the standard of rebellion 
 lar/ down their arms. * * * * and 
 me for peace, and mrrender the leaders ; then I 
 am for peace." The vote on the bill was had 
 without the yeas and nays. (lb., p. 102.) 
 
 HE WAS AGATSST THE PROTKCTIOX OF OUR 
 COMMKKCE FROM I'IRATES. 
 
 But not only did he do what he could, 
 against providing '-land forces' for the Gov- 
 ernment. 
 
 He flung out his opposition so as to include 
 our naval operations. On the 15th of July, 
 Mr. Eliot from the Committee on Commerce re- 
 ported the following Resolution, ond asked 
 unanimous consent to have it put upon its pas- 
 sage: 
 
 " Jfefdred, Thot the Secretary of the Treasury bo re- 
 quested to employ immediately a sufficient force to pro- 
 tect our commerce from the pirates thut now infest our 
 seas." 
 
 Vallandigham objected to its consideration. 
 Mr. Elliot then inquired — "Do I understand 
 the gentleman from Ohio to object?" Vallan- 
 diij;han) — • Yes. " The resolution was then 
 withdrawn. (lb., p. 128.) 
 
 Not even "protection from pirates" was this 
 champion of ('opperheads willing to allow! 
 
 Let his wishes and plans be carried out, and 
 the Alabama, Florida, and all other dark and 
 murderous Rebel and British craft, would sail 
 the seas unharmed, untouched by our gallant 
 tars. 
 
 How api)ropriate to him the language of 
 Shakspeure in Macbeth : 
 
 " Worthy to l>e a reM : for to that 
 The mnlfiplyiui; vlllnnics uf nature 
 Do cwarm upon him." 
 
 HE WOILI) NOT PUNISH REBELS. 
 
 Not only did he oppose all ••necessary meas- 
 ures tor carrying on the war," but he had no 
 censure, no puni.-^hment for traitors. On the 
 15th of July. Mr. Hickman presented "a bill 
 to difine and punish certain conspiracies." 
 
 Vallandigham, after attempting to delay its 
 consideration by introducing seven resolutions, 
 censuring the President, captiously objected to 
 the introduction of the bill, and then while 
 pretending that in his judgment the object was 
 right, declined voting, assigning as a reason 
 that he did not understand the bill. 
 
 He had just, however, understood enough to 
 censure the President; suddenly, however, it 
 would seem, darkness shrouded his mind, — 
 hi.s brain was eclipsed. Poor Vallandigham! 
 (II)., p. IJO.) 
 
 UF. BEOAN TO DODOE! OKN. McCLERSAND'.S RES- 
 
 ui-i HON AtiAiNsT th;; rebels, in favor or 
 
 THE UOVKRNMENT, STRUCK HIM DUMB. 
 
 About this time, — the middle of July, 1861, 
 it appears he was seized with a fit of dodging, or 
 
 struck dumb as an Egyptian mnmmy. How- 
 ever this was. on the following patriotic pre- 
 amble and resolution of the gallant Gen. Mc- 
 Clernand, he neither spoke, nor voted. 
 
 '• Wherea«, a portion of the people of the United States, 
 in violatiun of their coostitutlunal ubligations, harctaken 
 up arms against the National Ooveruraent, and are no«r 
 strivinR. hy ngp-essive and iniquitous war. to ovorthrow 
 it and hrenk up the nnion of these States; Therefore, 
 
 Jtesolird, That this House hereby pledges itself to Tote 
 for any amount of money, and any number of men. which 
 may be necessary to insure a speedy and effectual euj^ 
 pression of such rebellion, and the permanent restoration 
 of the Federal authority everywhere, within the limits 
 -nd jurisdiction of the United States. (lb., p. 131.) 
 
 His old associates, however, Burnett, Norton 
 Reid, and Wood, joined by Grider, ''faced the 
 music." 
 
 HE OPPOSED LEGISLATION FOR THE SUPPRES- 
 SION OF THE REBELLION. 
 
 It is said in the Bible, that " evil men shall 
 wax worse and worse.' 
 
 So, if possible, it was with Vallandigham; on 
 the I6th of July, his "spell of silence" was 
 broken. 
 
 Mr. Bingham, from the Judiciary Committee, 
 reported House bill. Xo. 20. An act to provide 
 for the suppression of the Rebellion, i;e. 
 
 Mr Bingham stated thut it was substantiaUy 
 the act of 1795. It met with the snarling, cap- 
 tious opposition of Vallandijrham. He object- 
 ed to the use of the word " Hkbkllios," and 
 did what he could to defeat the bill. (lb., pp. 
 145, 146.; 
 
 HE WAS NOT IN FATOR OF THAT PART OF THE 
 CRITTENDEN RK.^OLUTION OK JULY '22, WHICH 
 DECLARED THAT THE SOUTH WAS RESPONSI- 
 BLE FOR THE REBELLION. 
 
 His action in reference to the first clause of 
 a resolution of .Mr. Crittenden of Ky., called 
 up on the 22d of July, was evasive, but dem- 
 onstrative of his feelings and sentiments. 
 The clause was in these words: "That the pres- 
 ent dejilorable civil war has been forced upon 
 
 j the country by the dis-unionists of the South- 
 ern States, now in revolt against the Constitn- 
 
 1 tional Government and in arms around the 
 
 I Capital."' 
 
 t But two negative rotes appeared, his old 
 
 , chums "Burnett and Reid." 
 
 I But he was on the wing " again,' doing what 
 he could for the rebels, by his ominous, signif- 
 icant flight or silence. This, too, shows that 
 
 I he will dodge, that he is at times more bold 
 
 I in idle words than in actions. (lb., p, 223.) 
 
 HERKFUSKPTO THANK THE OFFICERS AND POL- 
 lUEItS (IF THE HULL Kt N BATTLE FOR THEIR 
 I COURAGE AND DEEDS OF PATRIOTISM. 
 
 I That the man who had no censure for the 
 i conspirators and traitors of the South, who 
 j was unwilling to provide just punishment for 
 I their high crimes, should refuse to ofTcr thanks 
 I or express gratitude to the noble and devoted 
 i patriots of our heroic army, is not surprising. 
 
What he had not heart to feel, he cotild not I up. he frri-xr more emphatic, nod vodfenited— 
 utter. I '• / „f,jWt t; thfhtll." 
 
 It was consistent then for him,— a consis- j The more ihaii usual "snapfiisliness"— which 
 tency, however, of infamy and vilenoss, with ! he exhibited on this occasion baa its explana- 
 scarcely a parallel— to condemn the first of the ' lion,— its niilural or philosophical exphmalion .

 dered to the families and friends of the brave "men who 
 fell on that occasion in defence of tlio Constitution and 
 the Union." 
 
 Referring to the first of these he said : '' I am 
 opposed to the first resolution, and I will not 
 give my consent to its introduction," and oe 
 DID NOT. (lb., p. 427.) 
 
 HE DISLIKED AX OATH OF ALLEOIAN'CE. 
 
 An oath has been styled by Cudworth in his 
 intellectual system, the " Vinculum" or chain 
 of society. 
 
 On the 5th of Augu.'st, the Judiciary Commit- 
 tee of the House, through Mr. Porter of Indi- 
 ana, reported back with an amendment. Sen- 
 ate Bill, No. 54. requiring an oath of allegiance 
 and support to the Constitution of the I nitcd 
 Slates, to be administered to certain persons i 
 in the civil service of the United States. ' 
 
 Mr. Vallandigham said, " / should like that 
 Bill to go over to the next session of Congress. I 
 object to it." (lb., p. 448.) 
 
 How much further was it possible for any 
 one to go? Hostile to the Government, he 
 was unwilling to have her civil employes 
 bound to fidelity to its interests by an oath, 
 demanded by the crimes and developments of 
 the times. 
 
 HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO DKKEAT THE BILL 
 INCREASING THE PAY OK THK -OLDIEKS. A' D 
 SUSTAIMNr. THE ACTS, 4c., 0¥ THE I'KESIDENT 
 CALLING THEM OUT. 
 
 The question of the increase of the pay of 
 the soldiers and of the approval of the acts and 
 orders of the President in relation to them was 
 also taken up on the 5th of August. Vallan- 
 digham, after the bill in relation to these sub- 
 jects was read, at length objected to its introduc- 
 tion. At this time his understanding did not 
 appear to be impaired, (lb., p. 448.)

 SKVKNTH CGNGKESS— HE WAS AGAINST A BOUN 
 TY TO SOLDIERS. 
 
 The first or special session of the 37th Con- 
 gress terminated on the 6th of August. 1861. 
 
 The second session commenced on the 2d of 
 December following. 
 
 In it Vallandigham exhibited the same cn- 
 
 I mity to the Government, the same sympathy 
 
 i for the South that he had exhibited in the 
 previous session. 
 
 I On the 19lh of December, 1861. the Speaker 
 of the House announced as the business in 
 order the consideration of the bill, (H. It. No. 
 
 1 13.').) giving a bounty of $\ 00 to cer'ain snldii-rs, 
 including the soldiers of the fint call. Mr. Vallan- 
 digham moved to lay the whole subject on the 
 table, and after his usual caviling, withdrew 
 his motion, and then voted again.-Jt recommit- 
 ing. &c.. &c. (Congressional Globe, part 1, 
 2d Sess. 37th Cong., p. 145-146.) 
 
 HE WAS IN FAVOR OF THE RETURN OF FUG 
 SLAVES TO DISLOYAL MASTERS. 
 
 From opposing a bounty to soldiers, he made, 
 to him, the easy advance of favoring the rebel 
 owners of fugitive slaves. 
 
 Mr. Julian on the 2'Jd of December, offered 
 the following lesolution, tiz. : 
 
 '• Rfsnlrfd. That the Judiciary Committee b« instrnct-

 On the 6th of August, Mr. Bingham nsked 
 that the House allow the reading and passage { (^rtmnuiu.

KK CAME OUT AGAINST THE CIVIL APPROPRIA- 
 TION BILL. AND AT THE S\ME TIME ADMITTED 
 UE WAS AGAINST TUE WAK. 
 
 His next exhibition of his feelings and pur- 
 pose, was on the Civil Appropriation bill. 
 
 The House havin;i resolved itself on this 
 subject into a Committee of the Whole on the 
 bill, (H. R. No. 154,) he asked if general dis- 
 cussion was in order, and being answered it 
 was, launched out on the surrender of Mason 
 end Slidell, thus delaying and embarassing the 
 passage of the bill. 
 
 And in the discussion which he called out, 
 after referring to the tact that he had been 
 called a ''Traitor," the following occurred: 
 "Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvani'a : I have not 
 been denounced as a Traitor since the war be- 
 gan." " Mr. Vallandigham: That is because the 
 gentleman made himself an advocate of what 
 is called a 'a vigorous proseculion of the. war' — 
 a thing 1 have not been able to ace;" thus openly 
 declaring in January, 1862, that he was against 
 a vigorous prosecution of the war. — ^Ib. pp., 
 210-211.) 
 
 UE WAS DOWN ON THE TAKING OF KAILUOADS 
 AND TELKGKAl'UIC LINES FOR USE OF IHK 
 GOVERNMENT. I 
 
 Senate bill No. It39. authorizing the Pres- ' 
 ident to take possession of railroail and tele- 
 graphic lines, having come into the House, ! 
 (rencral Hlair, of Missouri, asked permission ' 
 to take it up. j 
 
 '1 he bill was one of pressing importance, 
 contemplating the use by the Government in 
 cases of military necessity of these lines. 
 
 Vallandigham "snarled at it" throughout 
 its consideration, and then voted against ii, ■ 
 with Mag, Biddle el al. The affirmative vole 
 was 113— the negative 28. (ib., p. 548.) 
 
 UE OPPOSED TAXES IN THE INSURRECTIONARY 
 DISTRICTS. 
 
 His vote on Senate bill No. 292 for the col- 
 lection of direct taxes in the Insurrectionary 
 Districts, ami for other purposes, was, as all 
 his 01 hers, in favor of ihe rebels. .Vot a cent 
 would he gather within the lines of the rebel- 
 lion for the sujtport of the National Govern- 
 ment! Not he ! Not thus was he willing to 
 lessen the taxes of loyal citizens. Not he! The 
 vote was yeas 98, nays 17. (Ib., part 3, pp. 
 2409, 2409*, 2414.) 
 
 HE WAS UNWILLING TH.\T OUR SOLDIERS 
 SHOILD SUBSIST TO ANY EXTENT ON REBEL 
 I'RUPERTY. 
 
 Not content with opposing the collection of 
 taxes in " rebel districts," on the 9th of June, 
 18t)2, he dared to oppose the following resolu- 
 tion offered ou that day by Mr. Nixon, oi New 
 Jerseg: 
 
 •' Hr-nh-nt. Tlint in tli(> jiidcment of this Himi«c. tli«

 armir^ of the Ufpullic should be subsisted, so far as 
 practicable, on the property of all those who are in rebeU 
 linn, or who are giving aidan'd comfort to the euemiesoftht 
 United States." 
 
 So infamous a vote as the negative on this 
 resolution should be given in full. Here it is:

 Benjamin F. Thomas, Francis Thomas, Val' 
 landigham, Vibard. Voorhees. Wadsworth, Web- 
 ster, Chilton N. White, Wickliffe, and Wood— 
 39. 
 
 What soldier, what friend of a soldier can 
 look at this vote without scorn and contempt? 
 Pause and think of it. Vallandigham and his 
 associates tvould not sustain a proposition which 
 looked to our wearg, maimed, and struggling 
 soldiers, supplying their actual wantt from the 
 resources of our enemies! 
 
 Still they have the effrontery to hold up 
 their heads amid the lights of civilization and 
 the homes of our heroes, and the audacity to 
 solicit tkeir votes, and the votes of their kin- 
 dred I Beyond this, baseness cannot go I 
 
 HE W.\S AGAIN.'T THE TREASURY NOTE AND 
 OTHER IMPORTANT BILLS. 
 
 At this session he opposed the " Treasury 
 Note Bill," Temporary Provisional Govern- 
 ments in the rebel States, and every measure 
 of importance for the suppression of the trea- 
 son which curses our land. (Ib., part 1, p. 
 695. ; lb., part 2, p. 986.) 
 
 HIS COURSE IN THE THIRD SESSION OF THIRTY- 
 SEVENTH CONGRESS— HE OPPOSED RESOLU- 
 TIONS OF H. B. WIUGH;:'. of PFiNNSYLVANIA, 
 DECLARING THE REBBl.^-ION CAUSELESS, AND 
 DENYING THE RIGHT OF SECESSION. 
 
 On the 10th of December, 1862, Hendrick B. 
 Wrigiit, a true ami loyal Democrat, of Penn- 
 sylvania, called up resolutions, which he had 
 previously offered. 
 
 Among them were these : 
 
 " Resolved hij the II 'use of Representatives of Ihe United

 "2. That tho rebellion l>cing in contravention of the

 These resoliilions, cominfr from one who 
 had lost a son on the field of hiittlc. and to 
 whom he luudc this delictite and not)l^ nllii- 
 eion, " I should lnwe hlushed it ("nto's house 
 had stood seenre iind tlourislied in n civil war,'" 
 Yallnndiphiim opposed in a hibored speech 
 on the 14th ot January. In that speech, con- 
 tained in ihi' Appendi.x to llie Congressional 
 Globe. 3d Session. 37th Conpress. pp. &J-60, is 
 found, among other things, this admission, as 
 to hia exertions against coercion and the war: 
 
 '• / exerted vn/self in behalf of the pallet/ of

 / did not support the War ; and to-day I bless 
 God (hat not the fmetl nf so much as one drop 
 of its blood is upon mij garments.' 
 
 And this appeal against enlistments: " Will 
 men enlist at any price I Ah, sir, it is easier t) 
 die at home'' (p. 55.) 
 
 And these cries for the termination of the 
 war: '■ Btit ought this war to continue? I 
 ansuer no. not a day, not an hour * * * 
 iSlop fighting: make an armistice, no formal 
 treaty: uUhdraw your army from the seceded

 And this justitication and panegyric of the 
 rebels: 
 
 '■ ReheU did I say? yes, your fathers were rebeU, 
 or your grand-fathers He who now before me 
 on canvas looks down so sadly upon ns, the 
 false, degenerate and imbecile guardians of the

 And yet we who cradled ourselves in rebel- 
 lion and who have fostered and fraternized 
 with every insurrection in the nineteenth cen- 
 tury everywhere throughout the globe, would 
 now, forsooth, make the word ^' rebel" a reproach." 
 (P 54.) 
 
 How deep the depths of infamy 1 Amid all 
 this the government allowed him to go un- 
 touched by justice.

 to I 
 
 troy 
 
 •'Ii'ffoln-l. That the only alternative tho novernroent 
 can. or ought to, offer to rebels, is submit or lie con- 
 quered." 
 
 These Resolutions, patriotic In every par- 
 ticular, eulogistic of our soldiers — expressing 
 an earnest .«ympatliy with them, and condem- 
 natory of the enemy, met with the iwual cry 
 of Vallandighara, "/ object.'' (Congressional 
 Globe, part 15t, 3d Session, 37th Congress, p 
 195.) 
 
 HE WAS AGAINST THE RAI8I.N0 OF SOLDIER,? TO 
 CARRY ON THE WAR. 
 
 On the 26th of January, the Speaker an- 
 nounced that the next business in order was 
 the consideration of a bill (H. R. No. 675.) to 
 raise additional soldiers for the service of the 
 Government. 
 
 Anxious to dispose of the finance question, 
 Mr. Stevens moved that the bill be postponed 
 until the next day. 
 
 Mr. Holman moved to amend by postponing 
 it to the 3d of .March, next — a motion intended 
 to defeat it entirely, by delaying it until the 
 end of the session, and on this last questioa 
 Vallandigham voted yea. 
 
 On the 17tli of February, Mr. Olin said ; "I 
 
 desire to ask permission of the House to have 
 
 taken from the Speakers table the bill of the 
 
 Senate No. 511 in relation to the enrollment 
 
 I and calling out of troops, simply for the pur- 
 
 I pose of having it printed for the use of mem- 
 
 ' bers." (lb., Globe, part 2d. p. 1036.) 
 
 j True to his vile instincts — to his nourished 
 
 I wrath against the Government, he was found 
 
 barking forth his usual expletive, '• / object," 
 
 — on this sim[>le, but important proposition. 
 
 If possible, he was determined to cripple 
 the army so that the hordes of Rebeldom might 
 plant their colors in the nation's Capital. 
 
 UK OPPOSED THE JOINT RESOIXTIOV OF COS- 
 OHESS AOAIN.ST KOHEHJN INTERVENTION IN 
 BEHALF OF THE REuKLS. 
 
 In the evening session of March the 3d, res- 
 olutions condemning the interference of other 
 Daiions m our contest were taken up in order ; 
 
and what did Vallandlgham do? That which 
 was to have been expected 
 
 He moved to lay the resolutions on the table, 
 and with twenty-nine others, among them An- 
 fona of Pennsylvania, FoorA«M of Indiana. Wood 
 of New York, voted for so doing, and then on 
 the passage of the resolution voted nat/. (lb., 
 Globe, part 2d, page 1541.) It was not enough 
 for him to give aid and comfort to the rebels 
 himself; he was ready to have France and 
 England do it; to prostrate the nation at the 
 feet of foreign powers! 
 
 Of old we are told of men who were posses- 
 sed by devils. Does not this possession of the 
 brain and heart of humanity at times still 
 exi.st? From whom but the Prince of Rebels 
 did Vallandigham gather his principles? Who 
 else inspired and intensified his unhallowed 
 emotions? Let who can, answer. 
 
 And here in indelible and almost unrivaled 
 disloyalty, his Congressional record ends. It 
 is true at this session he arrayed himself 
 against emancipation in Missouri, against 
 what is commonly but erroneously CJVlled the 
 "Conscription bill," and against all other ne- 
 cessary or expedient measures of the Govern- 
 ment: but these need not be sp»cially referred 
 to. Enough of his Congre.-^sional record and 
 speeches has been produced, to call outagain.^t 
 him the scorn of every true patriot — enough, 
 to '• put him in the pillory of history, and pelt 
 him through the ages.'' 
 
 And then, after uttering these words of 
 murder and slaughter, of tumult and violence, 
 he pretended to be in favor of trying all ques- 
 tions by civil process — 'in courts!" Crime 
 and vice, according to an old writer, become 
 twins, and hunt in couplets. In this speech 
 hypocrisy was joined with disloyalty, thus 
 giving a peit'ecl illustration of the correct- 
 ness of the observation. Such are the weap- 
 ons with which Vallandigham struck for the 
 traitors of America, in Hamilton, Ohio! 
 
 HE VISITED MOUNT VERNON HE DE- 
 NOUNCED IN LOWEST TERMS GENERAL 
 ORDER NO. 38 OF GEN. BURNSIDE. 
 
 Crime, if unpunished, grows bold and in- 
 creases in insolence. It was so with Vallan- 
 digham. Allowed to run at large, '• unwhiped 
 of justice," alter his ferocious as.sauli upon 
 the order of Col. Carrington, he attended a 
 so-called Democratic meeting at Mount Ver- 
 non, Ohio. 
 
 It was held in May, 1863. 
 
 In Ajiril previous, Gen. Burnside had issued 
 the following order:

 The commaadiDg general publishes for the 
 
 information of all concerned, that hereafter all 
 persons found within our lines who commit 
 acts for the benefit of the enemies of our coun- 
 try will be tried as spies or traitors, and if 
 convicted, will suffer death. 
 
 This order includes the following classes of 
 persons : 
 
 Carriers of secret mails. 
 
 Writers of letters sent by secret mails. 
 
 Secret recruiting officers within the lines. 
 
 Persons who have entered into an agree- 
 ment to pass our lines for the purpose of join- 
 ing the enemy. 
 
 Persons found concealed within our lines 
 belonging to the service of the enemy, and, in 
 fact, all persons found improperly within our 
 lines, who could give private information to 
 the enemy. 
 
 All persons within our lines who harbor, 
 protect, conceal, feed, clothe, or in any way aid 
 the enemies of our country. 
 
 The habit of declaring sympathy for the ene- 
 my will not be allowed in this department. 
 Persons committing such offenses will be at once 
 arrested, with a view to being tried as above 
 stated, or sent beyond our lines into the lines 
 of their friends. 
 j It must be distinctly understood that treason, 
 I expressed or implied, will not be tolerated in 
 ! this department. 
 
 All officers and soldiers are strictly charged

 TVial of Vallandiyham, p. T. 
 
 Referring to this order in the speech at Mt. 
 Vernon, he said that '• military marshals were 
 about to be appointed in eve-y district, who 
 would act for the purpose of restricting the 
 liberties of the people ;" but that " he was a 
 freeman ;" that he " did not ask D.ivid Tod, 
 or Abraham Lincoln, or Ambrose E. Burnside 
 for his right to speak as he had done, and was 
 doing. That his authority for so doing was 
 higher than General Orders No. 38 — it was 
 General Orders No. 1 — the Constitution." 
 
 "That General Orders No. 38, was a base 
 
 \ usurpation of arbitary power; that he had the 
 
 most su[)reme contempt for such power. lie 
 
 despised it, spit upon it ; he trampled it under hia 
 
 feet:' 
 
 He then urged the people to refuse submission 
 to it. He i)ronounced the war, " wicked, cruel 
 and unnecesary ;'' affirmed thatit was "a war /or 
 the liberation of the blacks and the enslavement of 
 (he whites;" and closed by warning the peo- 
 ple not to be deceived. That '-an attempt 
 would shortly bt imule to enforce the conscription 
 act;'' that "he should remember that this 
 war was not a war for the preservation of the 
 Union ;' that " it was a wicked Abolition war. 
 
and that if those in authority were alloweii to 
 ncooiiipii-sii tiieir purposes, thf people would be 
 deprired of I heir liherliex. and ii monarch v I'Hl.il)-

 HK WAS DOWN ON THE fiOVKRNMENT. HE 
 THOUGHT THE REnEr,S SHOll.D INV.\DE 
 THE NORTH- HE WAS AGAINST ENLIST- 
 MENTS. 
 
 Restless as all evil spirits are. Vallandigham 
 flew over the country, assailing the Govern- 
 ment, spouting treasonable sentiments, and 
 stirring up mol)S and riots. All this was so well 
 presented by Hon. T. Stevens, in the House 
 of Representatives, March 6th. 1863, that a 
 condensed quotation will be sufficient. It was 
 during the discu.«sion of "the Conscription 
 Bill." Vallandigham was present. He did 
 not deny the correctness of any of the extracts 
 read by Mr. Stevens, except one. and a-; Mr. 
 Stevens read from his speech as published at 
 the time of delivery, in the " New York World," 
 his denial cannot be received. 
 
 Mr. Stevens said: Objection is made to this 
 bill on account of the provisions with regi rd 
 to the Provost Marshal's reporting "treason- 
 able practices," — the deputy Marshal here re- 
 ferred to. arrests nobody. 
 
 There is no provision in the bill by which 
 they are to do anything more than keep an 
 eye on the traitors, and report them to the 
 proper authorities. 
 
 Gentlemen on the other side do not like 
 that kind of machinery. They do not like to 
 have the traitors watched and reported to the 
 proper authorities. 
 
 Now, Mr. Speaker, to show how it is that 
 men are dissuaded from enlisting. 1 will read 
 an extract or two from the speech of a most 
 respectable and leading memiier of the Dem- 
 ocratic party. (Vallandigliam.) which was made 
 recently in the State of New Jersey:"' 
 
 '•1 will tell him, (the President.) as the pro- 
 found conviction of my judgment, that what- 
 rrter ma;/ have been possible in the beginning, the 
 dag has gone bg when a war for the restoration 
 of Union can. bg any possibility be tuceessful!" 
 
 A little further on, he says : 
 
 '• Shalt (he Democratic party be induced, $ir. 
 one moment to strike handf with those who desire 
 to change the purposes of the Administration, and 
 bring it back again to a war for the Union, when 
 the whole people united cannot accomplish 
 anything before the 4th of .March, 18G.")? Will 
 the war continue during that time? ['-Never, 
 never," from all parts of the room.] Will you 
 
 send your sons again to the battle field? [Over- 
 whelming cries, no, nevor.] Shall iheg br r',n- 
 scripted to carry on thi.t n-fir for two gears more, 
 and for the negrof" [No, never ] .After read- 
 ing these extracts. Mr Stevens ciin'.Inucd: 
 
 .Vre gentlemen at a loss to knciw why it !"» 
 that the peopi" of this nation will not volun- 
 teer to seive the ronntry, in the army, when 
 su< h leading men, the very head and front of 
 ft great party, are giving such ailvicc and rall- 
 inii forth such responses? 
 I Again he. (Vallandigham) say?: 
 I "Shall we do this with the vain, futile, ab- 
 I surd, and most unfounded hope th.it aft»*r the 
 ■ 4th of .March, 18(;r>, after four yeiirs of such 
 ! war as God Almighty never permitf d to 
 1 Sf-ourge any land, you will go back again to a 
 I war for the Union? [No. no.] 
 
 'It his been proclaimed that it never was 
 ! their (the rebels Ipurposc to invade the North- 
 1 ern States. It is very true that if this war is 
 kept up, battles fought, no relenting spirit, no 
 ; prospect of peace, no sound of peace to reach

 HIS APPEARANCE IN HAMILTON, OHIO. 
 HE DENOUNCED GENERAL ORDER NO. 
 15 OF COL. CARRINGTON AGAIN.^T THE 
 CARRYING OF ARMS. 
 
 Anticipating collisions on the part of loyal 
 and disloyal men. colli-^ions which the Copper- 
 head and Butternnt wearers and advocate^ of 
 Jeff. Davis k Co. were provoking and inciting, 
 Col. Carrington issued a pacific order against 
 the carrying of arms, kc. dated Indianajiolis, 
 Ind., March 17, 18i;:{. Smarting, it would 
 seem, from the rankling pain of his but recent 
 defeat for Congress by Gen. .-^chenck, batflcd 
 in all his plots, with the mail fury of a wound- 
 ed buffalo, he assailed the order, and then 
 uttered the mob-inciting, assassin-intlaming 
 words : 
 
 "Here. sir. are our warrants for keeping and 
 bearing arms, and by the blessing of God, wt 
 
10 
 
 Mea.i lo do it, and if (he men in power undertake 
 in an evil hour to demand them of us. ice tdll re- 
 turn (he Spartan answer, ' come and take (hem.' 
 Sir. tbu Constiiuiional right to keep find bear 
 arms carriirs with it the ngh: to buy and si-U 
 arms, and _/?re arms are useless without powder, 
 lead and percussion caps. It is our right to have 
 them, jiud we mean to obey General Orders 
 Nos I and 2. instead of No. I'a.'' (lb , p. 248.) 
 
 This unmeasured deuuaciation of the Gov- 
 ernment, this spilling upon order No. 38, this 
 trampling it under his feet, the heroic patriot, 
 the brave Gen. A. E Burnsido, could not, 
 would not permit. Vallandigham was there- 
 fore arrested, tried, found gui'.ty, and sentenced 
 "to be placed in close confinement in some 
 fortress of the United Stales," to be designated 
 by Gen Bumside. •• there to be kept during 
 the continuance of the war." 
 
 This sentence the Presiden*, on the 19th of 
 May changed to banishment beyond our mili- 
 tary lines, and in case of his return, to '• close 
 custody ' 
 
 Justice is often tardy — moves with leaden 
 feet, but sooner or later strikes her needed 
 blow. So it was in the case of Vallandigham. 
 
 DURING UIS CONFINEMENT U.NDER THK 
 MILI-^ARY ARREST, HE ISSUED AN 
 ADDRKSS FULL, (»F FALSi:U()01> AND 
 SOPIII.STRY 
 
 On the day of hi? arrest, Vallandigliam issued 
 this address, vi/ : : 
 
 Mii.iTAiiY Puiso.s-. Cincinnati. Ohio, ' 
 
 Mai/ a. 1863. j 
 To (he Democraci/ of Ohio : 
 
 I am here in a military bastile for no oth/r 
 ojfenre than m,'/ political opitiions, and the defense ; 
 of I hem. and of the rights of the peoftle, and ' 
 of your constitutional liberties. Speeches | 
 made in the hearing of thousands of you in ] 
 denunciation of the usurpation of power, in- | 
 fraction of the Constitution and laws, and of ' 
 military despotism, were the sole cause of my i 
 arrest and imprisonment. I 
 
 I am a Democrat — for Constitution, for law, | 
 for the Lnion, for Liberty — this is my only 
 '• crime." 
 
 For no disobedience to the Constitution, for 
 no violation of law. for no word, siyn or gesture 
 of sf/mpathy with the men of the South, who 
 are for disunion and Southern independence, 
 but in obedience to (heir demand, as well as 
 at the demand of Northern Abolition Dis- 
 unionists and Traitors, I am here in bonds to- 
 day ; but '-time at last sets all things even." 
 Meantime, Di-mocrats of Ohio, of the North- 
 west, of the Diiited States, be firm, be true to 
 your principles, to the Constitution, to the 
 Union, and all will yet be well. 
 
 As for myself. I adhere t) every principle, 
 and will make good, through imprisonment 
 and life itself, every plcdjo and declaration 
 
 which I have ever made, uttered or maintained 
 from the beginning. To you, to the whole 
 [)eople, to (ime, I again appeal. Stand firm! 
 Falter not an instant ! 
 
 C. L. VALLAN'DIGHAM. 
 (Supplement to Vallandigham Record, p. 253.) 
 
 Here was a reaffirmance of all the treason- 
 able views, a re-endorsement of all the dis- 
 loyal speeches and votes, which for upwards 
 of two years he had uttered. •' I adhere," he 
 e.Kclaims. • to even/ principle, and wiU make good 
 every pledge and declaration which I have ever 
 made, uttered, or mat., ained from the beginning." 
 Hut there was more. There were deliberate 
 raisrejiresentations and intentional falsehood. 
 It was false that it was for hiS political opinions 
 that he was arrested It was for a •• licen- 
 tious," riotous, infiammatory utterance of 
 them — 'an abuse of the right of spkech.' 
 which is condemned by Story, Kent, and all 
 our great authors on law. It was false that 
 his •• only crime " was being a Democ. at. That 
 assumed fact was no crime at all. The com- 
 mander who issued the order for his arrest 
 was, and is a Democrat I Xo one has been 
 arrested since the inauguration of the rebelTon 
 for being a Demotr.U. only when the demo- 
 crat HAS BEEN lost OR ABSOUBEO IN THE N.V- 
 TIONAL COXSPIRATOR AND TRAITOR HAVE AR- 
 RESTS OCOUR'IED. 
 
 It was false that he was not arrested for any 
 • word, sign, or g.'sture of sympathy wiih the 
 South " It was among other things against 
 these — against express and implied ireison — 
 that Order .38 was issued. 
 
 This order was very explicit in its enume- 
 ration of these olfyuses; it was directed only 
 against these ; and yet Vallandigham openly 
 declared that he " despised it, spit upon it, 
 trampled it under his feet. ' 
 
 Why was (his, if he had no sympathy with 
 the treasonable practices it designated ? Why 
 denounce an order which only struck at "these 
 practices?" 
 
 Certainly his condemnation of it was con- 
 clusive proof of his guilt It is only '' the 
 galed jade that winces." And if never before, 
 when he "spit upon ' General Order No. 38, 
 he ■• aided and abetted treason." 
 
 But the fact is, that is what he had been 
 engaged in all along, aud his conduct admits 
 of no justification. In his better days, as 
 chairman of a Committee on Resolutions, at 
 a Democratic meeting held in Dayton, Ohio, 
 December 18, 1847, he reported the following 
 resolutions : 
 
 " Rcsnlved, That whatever opinions might have been 
 ontertaJDod of tho ori»;in. necessity, or justice l"j' tho 
 Tories of the Kevolutioimry war. by the ^V•^lemll^t3 of 
 tho late war with Kngland. or by the Whigs mid .Aboli- 
 tion MtA of tho iiresent war with .Mexico. Hit fact nf tlie 
 country lieinij emjagad in siirU war oiiglU to liarc ttern 
 siiiTicient.anJ to havf preclwled debate upon that .iiiliject

 could nri'fr Itav. Iifcn inductd lo yidd eiilier physic^il or 
 moral ' aid to tlu eneni]/.' " 
 
11 
 
 This contains " the true doctrine," and 
 marlis out t!u' course tht\t every citi/.en should 
 pursue when tlie mitiou is in tiie strug^^le nnd 
 convulsions of war. 
 
 " Out of liis own mouth '' is VallHndi-rhnm 
 condemned. Ami nil that the (Jovorninent to- 
 day asks of him nml his fo!lower.-j is to adhere 
 to the rule whidi they euuneiated in 1847. 
 If they '• stick to it,' they need not dread 
 marshal.^, colonels, generals, forts, or prisons; 
 but, then, this they will not do, for it would 
 "hush all iheir Uiunder."

 JUDGE OF TIIE JACKSON SCHOOL DE- 
 FEATED THEIR ATTEMPT. AND CAVE 
 THEM GOOD RULES OF ACTION. 
 
 During the pendency of his trial hy " the 
 Military Commission," on the 9th of May, 186:t, 
 George E. Pugh made application to judge 
 Leavitt, of the Circuit Court of the United 
 States, for a writ of habeas corpus. 
 
 The petition was sworn to, not l>y Vallan- 
 digham, but hv Pugh.- 
 
 Judcre Leavitt fi.xed the 1 1th of May for ar-- i 
 gument on the ap|dicalion. 
 
 The Distr et Attorney, Hall, presented the ' 
 answer of General Hurnside, in whiih he said 
 am;)iig other ihing.>. •' If I wire to lind a man 
 from the enemy s country di?;ribu;ing in my 
 camp speeches of their put;lic men that tended 
 to demoralize the troops or to destroy their , 
 confidence in the consiiiuied authorities of ■ 
 of the CJovcrnment. I would have him tried. . 
 and hung if found guilty, and all the rules of 
 modern warfare would sustain me. W/i_>/ 
 f/iould fuch speeches from our own public men be \ 
 allowed? *****«' 
 
 '• They (public men and the public press) ' 
 must not use lken-ie. and plr<id that the;/ are ex- 
 ercmng liberty. In this department it cannot ! 
 be done. * * * » * * 
 
 '• It is said that wc can have peace if we lay 
 down our arms. All sensibleraen know this /oic 
 untrue. Were it so, ought we to 1 c so cow- 
 ardly as to lay them down until ihc authority ' 
 of the Government i.s acknowledged? I 
 
 " I beg to call upon the fathers, mothers, 
 brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, relatives, ! 
 friends, and neighbors of the soldier in the ' 
 field to aid me in stopping this license and in- 
 temperate discussion, which is discouraging | 
 our armies, weakinging the hands of the Gov- i 
 ernmcnt, and thereby strengthing the enemy, i 
 If we use our honest efforts, God will bless us 
 with a glorious peace and a united country. ' 
 Men of every shade of opinion have the same ; 
 vital interest in the .'-•upprcssion of this rebel- | 
 lion; for, should we fail in the task, the dread I 
 horrors of a ruined and distracted nation urill/all i 
 
 ' alilte on all, whether patriots or traitors." — (Trial 
 of Vallandigham. pp. 42-4;;.) 
 
 The application was then fully argued by 
 .Mr. Hall and Perry (or the Government, and 
 Pugh for Vallandigham. 
 
 The argument was protracted and cxhaus- 
 ' tive. 
 
 Judge Leavitt refused, or rejected, the appli- 
 cation. And in doing so. he gave a full and com- 
 plete refutation of nil the arguments of theCop- 
 perhiads al)out 'the despotism of Lincoln, 
 ' arbitraiy arrests. "' &e. 
 
 This was more valuable, because it emana- 
 ted from an -old line Democrat"--one appointed 
 to his Judgeship b^ ihe immortal Jackson. 
 ' The Judge .said: "But are there not other 
 considerations of a controlling character ap- 
 plicabletolheqiicstion? Isnot theCourt imper- 
 ^ atHvely lioiind to regard the pre-ent state of 
 the country, and, in the light which it throws 
 \ upon the subject, to decide upon the the expe- 
 ■ dicncy of interlering with the exercise of the 
 I military power as invoked in the pending ap- 
 ( plication.? The Court cannot shut its eyes to 
 the grave fact thai war exists, involving the 
 most imminent public danger, and threatening 
 the subversion and destruction of the Consti- 
 tution itself. In m;i judgement, irhcn the life of 
 the republic ;> imperiled, h" mistakes his dulii and 
 uhlignlion a.i n patriot uho it not willing tn con- 
 cede to the Constitution such a capacii;/ of adapt- 
 ation to circumstances as mau be necessarg to meet 
 a great emergencg, and save the nation from hope- 
 less ruin. Self. preservation is a paramount laic, 
 uhich a nation, as well as an individual, may find 
 it necessary to invoice." * * * * 
 
 ''It is not to be disguised, then, that ou' 
 country is in imminent peril, and that the cri- 
 s'.> demands of every American citizen a hear- 
 ty support of all proper means for the restor- 
 ation of the Union and the return of an honor- 
 able peace. 
 
 "Those placed by the people at the head of 
 the Government, it may well be presumed, are 
 earnestly and sincerely devoted to its preser- 
 vation and perpetuity. 
 
 '• 77ic President may not be the man of our choice, 
 and the measures of his administration may not 
 be such as all can fully approve. But these are 
 minor considerations, and can ab.'olve no man from 
 the paramount obligation of lending his aid for 
 the salvation of his countnj. 
 
 J' All should feel that no evil they can be called on 
 to endure, as the result of war, is comparable with 
 the subversion of our chosen Government, and the 
 horrors which must follow front such a cataslro- 
 phy.' 
 
 He then goes on to say that the President 
 " iVi time of war derives his power expressly from 
 the Constitution as Commnnder-in-Chi'f of the 
 Army and Navy,'' etc. .Vnd he aids ; " Ij 
 this view of the power of the President is correct, 
 it undoubtedly implies the right to arrest persons, 
 who, by their mischievous acts of disloyalty, im- 
 pede or endanger the military operations of the 
 Oocernment. And, if the necessity exists, I see 
 
12 
 
 no reason why the power does not attach to 
 the otricer or General in command of a military 
 department." 
 
 He also says: "If the doctrine is to obtain, 
 that every one charped with, and guilty of, acts 
 of mischievious disloyalty, not within the scope 
 of the criminal laws of the land, in custody 
 under the military authority. i.> to be set free 
 by courts or judges on Uabens Corpus, and that 
 there is no power by which he may he temp.)- 
 rariiy placed where he i-annol [icrpetr.ite mis- 
 chief, it requires no arcrument to ])rove ibat 
 the most alarming confliits must lollow, and 
 the action of the Government be most seriously 
 impaired. I dare not, in my jndi';ial position, 
 assume the fearful responsibility implied in 
 the sanction of su<!i a doctrine "' 
 
 And be continues : " There in a claxs of men 
 m the lo>/al Slates v:ho seem to have iiojust appre- 
 ciation of the dfep criininalilii of those vho are in 
 arms aroicedb/ for the overthrow of the Govern- 
 ment and the estalili.shment <f a Southern Confcd- 
 eraaj. They have not, I fear, ri.>en to any 
 right estimate of their duties and obligations, 
 as American citizens, to a Government which 
 has strewn its blessings with a profuse hand, 
 and is felt only in the benefit it b'-tows. 
 
 •'It may be assumed. I trust, that ia most 
 of the Northern States r-diable and unswerving 
 patriotism is the rule, and disloyalty and trea- 
 son the exception. 
 
 " But there should he no division of sentiment 
 ■upon thin mumenl'ius question. Men should know. 
 and laii the truth to heart, that there is a course 
 of conduct n •! involving overt treason, or ani/ 
 rffense technically defined hif statute, and not, 
 therefore, subject to puni.ihment as such, which, 
 nevertheless, implies moral guilt and a gross offense 
 against ihtir country. 
 
 •' Those who live under the protection and enjoy 
 the blessings of our benignant (rovenment must 
 learn thai they cannot stab its vitals with impunity. 
 
 " If they cherish iiatred and iiostility to it, 
 and desire its subversion, let them withdraw 
 fioni its jurisdiction, and seek tlie fellowship 
 and protection of those with whom they are 
 in symp.ithy. If they remain with us, while 
 they are not of u.^, they must be sulijcct to 
 such a course of dealing a.s the great law of 
 self-preservation prescribes and will enforce. 
 And let them not complain if the stringent 
 doctrine of military necessity shoild find them 
 to be legitimate subjects of its ai-tion." — Trial 
 of Vallandigham, pi>. '1*>?>, 2G4, i^V.t, 270, 271. 
 
 HE WAS HANDED TO THE RKBELS — 
 THEY TREATED HIM KINDLY AND 
 SPEAK WELL OF HI.M — HE RE- 
 TURNED THE FAVOR — Tor.ETIIKR 
 THEY PLEAD FOR HIS ELECTION AS 
 GOVERNOR OF OHIO, &C. 
 
 After this failure to obtain through Judge 
 Leavitt the writ of habeas corpus. Valla ndigliam 
 
 was conveyed, through General Rosecrans, into 
 the " rebel lines." 
 
 The -'Chattanooga Rebel" of the 27th of 
 May described his rcce(>tion. 
 
 It was such as clearly indicated that they 
 regarded him as an invaluable friend. It was 
 corroborative of his deep, dark guilt. But 
 read : 
 
 " He was received by General Mason, and 
 escorted to his headquarters without any dc- 
 i raonstration. There he was received by Col. 
 : J. Stoddard Johnson, of Gc^ Bragg's Staff, 
 ; and by him conveyed in a carriage to Shelby- 
 I vilie. where comfortable quarters were pro- 
 I vided. There was no demonstration, but every- 
 j where when he passed those who had heard of 
 I his coming they greeted him kindly and with 
 
 silent tokens of sympathy and respect.'' 
 
 j But this is not ail: the editor proceeds thus: 
 
 '' His (Vallandigham's) road, which leads up 
 
 I !i steep ascent in the future, is direct and gas- 
 
 I lighted. It looks first out of some Confed- 
 
 ', erate port to Nassau, thence to Canada, and 
 
 [finally to the Gubernatorial Chair of Ohio. The 
 
 I return of Napoleon from Elba was the sigijal 
 
 ' for a general reaction in France. Tiiousands 
 
 I flofked to him in an instant. Notliing could 
 
 keep t!ie Little Corporal — bar nor iron, nor 
 
 I prison, nor island. He stood once more on 
 
 i his native heath; the superstition of the popu- 
 
 I lar heart clung to him. and he triumphed. 
 
 Let Mr. Vallandigham's return be as speedy. Lei 
 
 the absence of a single month find him issuing an 
 
 addre.is to the people of his State from Lower 
 
 Canada, proclaiming these things to them : 
 
 '• I, a loyal citizen of the Hnion.and a soldier 
 thereof and of freedom, banished against law 
 and the Constitution, thrown contrary- to my 
 will across the lines to a public enemy, whose 
 fefusal to receive and recognize me establishes 
 betbre all men my patriotism and my honor ; 
 I, C. L. Vallandigham, persecuted, exiled, 
 mobbed, and coerced by cowardly tyrants and 
 by bayonets, but not dead nor dumb, issue 
 those words, and declare myself a candidate 
 for Governor of Ohio." (See, too, Pennsylva- 
 nia Argus, June 10, 1863. and other papers ) 
 Pause and look at this : 
 (1.) His name was suggested for Governor of 
 Ohio. 
 
 (2.) The line or route of his departure from 
 the South was suggested. 
 
 (3.) The point of his destination was sug- 
 gested. 
 
 (4.) The issuing of an address from Canada 
 was suggestvd. 
 
 (.').) Thematterofthe address was suggested. 
 Now oliserve I Each ot these suggestions 
 were carried out by Vallandigham and his 
 friends. 
 
 1st. On the 11th of .lunc, two weeks after 
 the pulilication in the reliel papers, Vallan- 
 digham was nominated for Governor of Ohio. 
 
 2d. He left the South as indicated. 
 
 3d. He arrived in Canada. 
 
 4th. He issued an address dated Niagara 
 
13 
 
 Falls, Canada West, inth of July, 1863, and 
 another dated at the same place on the 31st of 
 July. 
 
 5th. These addresses contain the very sub- 
 ject-matter suggested. 
 
 The first Ixgins with a reference to his 
 "banishment,'' states that he was fairly and 
 honorably dealt with in the South. &c. 
 
 The second speaks of military force, tyrannic 
 power, &c. Tliey both keep up a display of 
 his old slang — denouncing IJuinside as a 
 " presumptions, inlamous person." and Judge 
 Leavitt, before wh(un his case was voluntarily 
 presented, as a judge who has brought foul 
 dishonor on the judiciary of the country. 
 
 Why these perfect coincidences? How did 
 all this exact harmony between the suggestion 
 of the " Chattanooga Rebel ■ and Clement L. 
 Vallandigham occur? It clearly was not ac- 
 cidental. No, no, thete coincidences were the 
 result of deliberate arrangement. 
 
 This is the inevitable, the startling conclu- 
 sion ! Vallandlf/liiim'.i nomination for Governor 
 of Ohio and his mode of curri/iiiy on (he campaign 
 is in accordance vilh a prorjriimme formed while 
 he was in the South, and su(igesied hi/ the Traitors 
 of that section. Foiled in every other effort to 
 aid them and to overthrow the Government, 
 this is now adopted! 
 
 Men of Ohio — .Vmericans, shall it succeed ? 
 Arouse, awake and declare every where that 
 this last — the vilest scheme of the champion 
 of Copperheads and his rebel compeers shall 
 fail, utterly fail I 
 
 HIS PURPOSE IF ELECTED GOVERNOR — 
 THE PLAN OF HIS FRIENDS. 
 
 It is impossible to relj* upon the word of one 
 so base as Clement L. Vallandigham. Yet 
 what he would attempt may be determined 
 from his second address — that of 31st of July 
 last. He si'.ys in it : 
 
 '• The Democratic party promises to the 
 South no conliscation. nor emancipation, nor 
 conscriptions, nor executions," &c. '• No Mar- 
 tial law, 710 Mililunj orders." &c. : that it would 
 give them "quiet and security in their rights, 
 properties, and institutions of every kind," &c. 
 In other words, whatever ihri/ ask he would give, 
 for, in his opinion, like the King, they " can do 
 no wrong." And in direct violation of the Con- 
 stitution, which provides for the punishment of | 
 treason, he would, so far as even their leaders 
 are concerned, wipe out its penalties. As Sey- 
 mour has done in New York, he would do in 
 Ohio, embarrass the Government, impair its 
 strength, and pl.ay into the hands of the rebels. 
 
 Beware of the man ! 
 
 But still more : He with his supporters 
 would inaugurate " a new llel)ellion,"' invade 
 neighboring States, and at the point of the 
 bayonet suppress all real loyalty, all true pat- 
 riotism. Read the proof; it is from the lips 
 of S. S. Cox. It was uttered at Cleveland : 
 
 " What must we do ? We must elect .Mr. 
 
 ' Vallandigham y/r.tr We must inaugurate him. 
 I llow,you say? .Mr. I'ligh will tnke lii^ solemn 
 [ oath as Lirutenant (;f)Vi'riior. He will swear 
 j to abide by the Con-Jtitution and the Union. 
 ' Mr. Vallandigham's name will be called thrice 
 j from the door of the Capitol. If he does not 
 ' n|ipear. .Mr. Pucrh will be (governor. lie will 
 1 call out the militia, 1.50,000 strong, lie will 
 march to the Canadian frontier. lie will con- 
 duct Mr. Vallamligham to his chair as (Jover- 
 n and none will dare to hinder him. Then 
 wtv Mi'Clellan or Seymour, in 1HC4, we will 
 put the Goveriiment again on an honorable 
 I footing; the Union as it was, and the Consti- 
 tution as it is ; and the country will once 
 ; more be peaceful and prosperous. ' [Cheers.] 
 I This is dear. It comes, too. it must be re- 
 ; membered. from the lips of an intimate friend 
 I of Vallandigham, and a lea<ler of the con- 
 spirators, one fully posted, one in their secrets. 
 And should Georok W. Woodward be elect- 
 ed Governor of Pennsylvania, he, it is to be 
 presumed, would assist in the execution and 
 comjiletion of the programme of violence and 
 blood. 
 
 Indeed, the plot appears to be this : 
 Elect in the loyal States as Governor.^ sympa- 
 thisers with the rebellion. When this shall he 
 done let them comhine to ohslrucl. and. if necc'sari/, 
 resist the measures (f the Administration. Thus 
 paralj/ze its efforts to suppress the rebellion and 
 aid the South in the attainment of its objects, and 
 ullimalehi overthrow (he '-potcers that be,'' and 
 takecontrolof (he Government. Hear what Lifiit. 
 M. F. .Maury in his letter to the " London 
 Times," dated Bowden, Cheshire, August 17th, 
 says on this point : 
 
 "VALLANDIGHAM WAITS AND WATCUES OVER 
 THE BOKDEIl, PLEDGED IF ELECTED GOVKRNOIl OF 
 THE STATE OF OUin TO ARRAY IT AGAINST LIX- 
 COLN AND THE WAR, AND TO GO FOR PEACE." 
 
 [New York Herald, Saturday, Sept. 5. 18G3.] 
 Patriots of every section, dash this foul plot 
 
 into fragments. 
 
 This ends Vallandigham's record — one more 
 
 unpatriotic, one of greater baseness was never 
 
 presented to the American people. 
 It is said by Dr. Watts : 
 
 ■' While the lamp holds out to bum 
 The vilest ginner may return." 
 
 This return, however, on the part of political 
 as well as moral sinners can only be etlccted 
 through penitence or contrition. But Vallan- 
 digham has given " no sign of sorrow." 
 
 He frowns as liercely as ever upon the Gov- 
 ernment, and smiles as a|)provingly as be did 
 in the commencement of his nefarious career 
 ui)on the conspirators and traitors of the land. 
 
 What iik was he is. He has consistently 
 clung to the determination announced in his 
 Cooper Institute speech. In the fore part of 
 18G3 at Newark, N. J., referring to a similar 
 determination which two years previous he 
 had exj)ressed in that place, he boasted of the 
 pertinacity with which he had adhered to it; 
 
14 
 
 and it is fair to presume that what he is he uill i It uncovers their motives. It shows that on 
 continue to be. [ the 22d of Novemlier, 1800 — long before any 
 
 In tact, this is more than a presumption, j ''conscription act'' existed — long before any 
 In his speech at Dayton, August 2d, 1862 — draft had been attempted; even before Mr. 
 see Vallandigham's record, page 147 — he said: j Lincoln was elected President of the United 
 " War is upon us! J have not voted for any I States — while the pliant and submissive Bu-

 war '-rule'' or policy 
 
 These speeches fix him for the future as well 
 as for the past. Now, then, let every friend of 
 his country, every lover of his nuc, every ad- 
 mirer of I iberty, study the truthful, authenti- 
 cated record here spread out. and then aid in 
 the defeat of Vallandigham and his "entire" 
 band of conspirators. The welA\re of the na- 
 tion demands it. 
 
 THE OPINIONS, PRINCIPLES, AND AIMS 
 OF VALLANDIGHAM FULLY ADOPTED 
 AND ENDORSED BY IIIS ADHERENTS. 
 
 It only remains to be shown that Vallan- 
 digham"s views, aims, and feelings have been 
 approved and advocated by his adherents. 
 This has already to some extent appeared. 
 But let it be fully shown by a reference to the 
 record of the party. Here it is:

 LETTER TO A MEETING HELD IN AL- 
 BANY ON THE lt)TH OF MAY, 18G3. 
 A NEW YORK CITY MEETING OF THE 
 18th OF MAY. 
 
 In his card in the " Cincinnati Inquirer.'' 
 ■Vallandigham says thai ihe "■ sentiment.'' v\z: 
 
 " I never would, as a Representative in the Con- | tirRirnt a"wriV"of"wi(!ai'coryr«ri8^ 
 gre^S of the United States, vote one dollar of i t'O" ft 'lio Constitution anil an infamous ontrase upon 
 money wl.ereby one drop of American blood , il"^^cU-a.ly denned right, of the citizen.- 
 should be shed in a civil war," was received j So far as New Y'ork is concerned this proof 
 with vehement and long-continued api>luse. ] is ample. It puts Vallandigham and his party 
 
 Now mark well. It was not the bad man \ in that State in the same" boat. They sail 
 Vallandii/ham thai was aiiplauded. It was the i together. It demonstrates, too, that they are 
 
 from the Government means and men ne- 
 cessary to suppress any rebellion which the 
 slaveholders might inaugurate. 
 
 And, therefore, their recent acts of violence 
 were only the outcropping of their original 
 purpose. They only did, i.n the bloody weeks 
 
 OF 18G3, PART OF what THEY HAD DECIDED TO 
 DO IN 18G0. 
 
 Bui the applause with which the New York- 
 ers greeted the madness and folly of Valland- 
 igham's "Cooper Institute speech,'' is not the 
 only proof which they have furnished of their 
 sympathy with his notions and acts. 
 
 After his arrest, and belore the final dispo- 
 sition of his case,* Govi-rnor Seymour, the 
 //7>nrfof the rioters and the rioters' friend, sat 
 down in the Kxeculive Department of the Em- 
 pire State, and addressed a letter to a Co]iper- 
 head meeting in Afijaiiy, in vindication of the 
 arrested consjiirator, in which he pronounced 
 the order of General Burnside -an invalid 
 order, put forth in utter disregard of the princi- 
 ples of civil liberty.'' and denounced the Gov- 
 ernors and Courts of some of the great Western 
 i States ns " having sunk into insignificance,'' 
 I etc. (New York papers, .May 17 and 18.) New 
 ' Harapshiie Patriot and Gazette, May 27, 1863. 
 I And on the ]8lh of May "a monster meet- 
 ! iug" was held in New York, which approved 
 I of this letter and passed these resolutions: — 
 
 ■ '■ Jicolvd. That we. the citizens of the city of New 
 York lii-re n.-iseniblcd denounce the arrest of IXmu. 0. L. 
 
 . VHllandi^'ham. and his trial and senteuce by a military 
 coniiuissioii. as a f^tartlingoutrageupon the sacred rights 
 
 1 of Auuriran citizencliip. 
 
 I '■ Jtinolrc'. That the refusal of the Judge of the district 
 within which the Uon. C. L. Vallandigham is incarcerated 
 
 atrocious "-sentiment" uttered by him — the 
 tendency and pitrpo.ie of that sentiment. Ut- 
 tered by Pugh or Cox, by Wood or Seymour, 
 by Jftr. Davis or Slidell. the applause would 
 have beeti none the less " vociferous." 
 
 Just so, .Milton tells us, Satan was "shouted 
 on' in his assault on God's throne, not so much 
 because he was " the Prince of Devils " as be- 
 causeof the destructive and unhallowed object 
 he had in view. 
 
 The •• New Yorkers'' were (hen early com- 
 mitted to the teachings of Vallandigham. And 
 this fact sheds a flood of light upon the subse- 
 quent conduct of the thieves, assassins, mur- 
 derers, and rioter.s of the first eitv of America. 
 
 prepare<l to denounce not only Presidents and 
 Generals, l)ut also Courts, if their decisions do 
 not accord with their whims or plans. 
 
 It is only when these bodies do their bid- 
 dings that they eulogize and venerate them. 
 
 PENNSYLVANIA. 
 
 MODERN PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS 
 OR COPPERHEADS ENDORSE VALLAN- 
 DIGHAM. 
 
 Men of similar instincts, desires, and prin- 
 ciples, however geographically separated, are 
 
distinyuislied for tlie genenil uniformity of 
 tbeir actions. 
 
 It was, iliercfore, to be expected tlmt '-thf 
 friends of the South " nnd the opponents of 
 the Government would net in I'ennsylvauiii as 
 in New Vori< ; und so they did. 
 
 Shortly tiher the ineelinj; in New York city 
 one was held in Indipendetue Sfpiare, I'liiln- 
 delpliia, presided over by ex-Chief Justice 
 Lewis, of ihe Supreme ('ourt of that State, and 
 the foilowing resolutions adopted, viz: 
 
 " Rfsolved. That in the lotter of tlio Hon Horatio Soy- 
 oiour, ot' New Vurk, to llu> Into piiMic iiiratiii|{ ot iho 
 Democratic citizeiiH of AUmny. coiKli'iiiniiiK (he |ir<H-<-t'(J- 
 lng8 of the AdmiuidtraliKii njniiiiMt Mr. VHllHndi|:l>>>ni, 
 we rccognizo tho toue and liiuiiiiagi' of ii stiitcHiiiHii. and 
 thespiritofa man woitliv to tic. at a great crisis, the 
 Chief Magistrate of a great State. 
 
 ' Iftsnhfd. That the arrest and lianiiihincnt of Mr. 
 yallui.digliam is a violence to uhirli the people of Ihe 
 United States will not and ought not to liubniit." (See j 
 Philadelphia papers.) 
 
 What the New Yorkers shouted the Pennites I 
 shouted. They both sang in lusty tones the i 
 praise of their chief. 
 
 The Pennsylvanians even tlireatened to 
 bring " the people" down on the Government I 
 — ^just wlijit the Copperhead part of them, , 
 Biddle and Ancona, Woodward and Hughes, j 
 Buckrtlew and Wharton, Reed and Florence, I 
 have all along vainly attempted to do. 
 
 But they did not stop with (his approval of 
 the '• Ohio patriot." In their State Conven- 
 tion, which met at Harrisbnrg on the I7lh of 
 June, they came out "flat-footed" in his de- 
 fence. 
 
 The eighth resolution of this Convention j 
 reads thus : i 
 
 lM>*n onlrap^d, tho name of the ITnitml PtatM diagrured, 
 and the rights of every riti/eii menaced, and tl>at it !• 
 Mow the duly of a l»W'rei>|H.oling |KMipIe to demand of 
 tlip adminiHt ration that it at once and forever desist 
 Iroin such deeds of despotiiin and ciime. 
 
 It is vituperative, ferocious, against the 
 Administration. A justification of Vallandig- 
 hatfl could not be otherwise. 
 
 CONNECTICUT, INDIANA, IOWA, ILLI- 
 NOIS, OHIO, AC. 
 
 But not with New Jersey did the glowing 
 eulogies of Vallandigbam slop. Not in .New- 
 ark were the ihiiiiders of denunciation hu-hed. 
 The Cf)pperheads of Connecticut and Indiana, 
 Iowa, Illinois, and other States united in their 
 eulo;.'ies of him. and in their censure of Burn- 
 side and Lincoln. 
 
 Ohio 'capped the clima.x" by nominating 
 him for Governor; thus in the most unequivo- 
 cal manner adopting all his theories and pol- 
 icy, all his prituiples and feelings. Certainly 
 further proof of the approval of his record and 
 acts by his followers cannot be required. 
 
 He is not, therefore, the eccentric genius of 
 a faction — he is not a blazing comet dashing 
 thiuugli the sky of his party. He is their 
 great centra! light, around whom, as planets, 
 they all revolve. 
 
 Jr. (he light ichirh he emits (he;/ must move. In 
 it, as a }>arty, they must livr or prrish. 
 
 co:]Nrci.xjsiOKr. 
 
 LET ALL AWAKK. 
 
 "That we heartily thank the lion-hearted Democracy 
 of Ohio lor tlie manly vindication they liiive given to the 
 Coustitutiou againtit the great crime cunimitted upon it 
 in the arrest and deportation of Clement L. Vallandig- 
 bam, and weassure them of our coroial i^ympalhy in the 
 great struggle they are making for their undoubted 
 rights." 
 
 This was the Convention which nominated 
 Walter H. Lowrie for the Sujireme Court, and 
 George W. Woodward for Governor. By the 
 quoted resolutions the.-^e candidates are placed 
 on the Vallandigbam platform. 
 
 On it thqi must stand or fall. Not a line of 
 his record did the Convention repudiate — not ! 
 a word of it have the nominees condemned. | 
 
 The truth is, a "fellow feeling'' does more i 
 than make us '• wondrous kind." It cements 
 men in crime and degredation. It has bound 
 together the enemies of the country every- 
 where in support of Vallandigbam. 
 
 NEW JERSEY. HER DEMOCRACY EN- j 
 DORSE VALLANDIGIIAM. 
 
 But in the race of endorsement, N( 
 could not be a laggard. 
 
 This is her resolution, viz. : 
 
 Jersev 
 
 liesolvii. ihat i" the illegal seizure and banishment 
 of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham the laws of our country hare 
 
 I ENGLAND STANDS LP FOR VALLAN- 
 
 j DIGIIA.M, &C., AC. 
 
 ! It would not be dillicult to add more. The 
 facts that the advocates of Vallandigbam have 
 burdened the very waves of the Atlantic with 
 their complaints ; thai their cries have stirred 
 the cold heart of the British lion until it beats in 
 sympathy with their pbins and purposes; that 
 the hypocrites and libelers of "the London 
 Times' have come with leaded columns to their 
 assist ance. and that the cotton worshipers of 
 Europe have determined to place him in marble, 
 plaster, or bronze, might be dwelt upon. 
 
 These, indeed. Americans, are significant 
 facts. For a moment or two consider them. 
 The combination of our revolutionary days 
 '• lives over again. " As then so now, the ene- 
 mies of our nationality on both sides the At- 
 lantic are united in their hatred and opposition. 
 Tories and " Red Coats" associated in the 
 " War of Independence." 
 
 In the itresent crisis they keep company or 
 co-operate. 
 
 Not a mercenary ship-builder of England, 
 not a British tar on Conlederate vessels, not a 
 blockade-runner from the ports of the sea-girt 
 isle, but breathes the same sentiments and 
 utters the same slung, and pours forth the sam9 
 
1« 
 
 curses against the Government as Vallandig- 
 ham and his party. 
 
 This rtdtnits of only one explanation : 
 The foes of true liberty have met on com- 
 mon ground to subvert our civil institutions. 
 ViiUandifjham. modern American Democracy, 
 Southern conspirators and insurrectionists, 
 and European despotism move in concert 
 against the great temple of our freedom. Meet 
 them, patriots ; meet them men of liberty and 
 truth and justice; meet them in their march ; 
 meet them at the coming election, and by the 
 might of the ballot-boxes tell them the re- 
 bellion of the slaveholders must be OVER- 
 THROWN, THE SCHE.MES OF DOMESTIC 
 TRAITORS AND FOREIGN FOES MUST BE 
 DEFEATED, Tin: UNION OF THESE STATES 
 MUST AND SHALL BE MAINTAINED.

 WITH ...wrnACE DEMOrRACV. IT IS

 SYLVANIA AND AID IN THE ELEC- 
 TION OF WOODWARD AND LOWRiE. 
 
 But look at this. It is said "murder will 
 out." So will the schemes of the base and 
 vile under all circumstances. 
 
 The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th of Sep- 
 tember, in an article headed '-^^eroac/ ^ojseace," 
 thus speaks: 
 
 Should General Lee cross into Maryland, the embar- 
 rassmentii of Lincoln ■would increase. His •• victorious" 
 army, unable to fake the field and attempt the repetition 
 of Sharpslmrft and Gettysburg, would be compelled to 
 remain in \VaHhint;ton, while Gen. Lee marched whither- 
 soever he wished in Maryland or Pennsylvania. 
 
 The success of ilie Democratic parti/ would be no longer 
 doubtful slinuld General Let once more ddvance on Meade. 
 Parties in lie Cnitea Stales are so nearly balanced that tite 
 least advantage thrown in fvornf one will insure its suc- 
 cess. Should tho Confederate army remain quiescent on 
 the banksof the Rappiihannork. the boastful brasgadocia 
 of Yankee reports will l>e contirmed, and Lincoln and 
 Halb'ck will point in triumph to the crippled condition 
 of tho Coufeiierate array as confirmation of tho great 
 victory won in Pennsylvania. 
 
 General Leo must turn politician as well as warrior, 
 and we believe that he will prove the nio^t successful 
 politician the Confederacy ever produced. I/e 7nay so 
 move and direct his army as to prod/ice political results, 
 which, in their bearing upon this war, will prorr more 
 effectual than the. bloodiest victories. Let bim drive Sleade 
 into Washington, and he will again raw the spirits of 
 the Democrats, confirm their timid, and give confidence, to 
 t'leir wavering, lie will embolden the Peace party should 
 he again cross the Potf>mac. for be will show the people 
 of Pennsylvania how lirtle security they have from Lin- 
 coln for the protection of their homes.

 that they should hold on to Port Hudson | n,,, representatives in Congr.-ss. stre»'f,h.-ning the Demo-

 itself. 
 I The damages which the last campaign inflicted, if aug- 
 mented by another this fall, when presented to the Lin- 
 I coin Government, would, unless pniil priatly exasperate 
 I tho people against an Administration which neither de- 
 I fends the State, nor reimburses its citt/.ens for losses 
 j which its own imbecility hits produced. And if these 
 ' damages are paid the debt is increased, the taxes raised, 
 and the burdens imposed will accomplish the same end.

 Pennsylvania via Washington.

 It may be well to add a specimen or two of 
 what could be proven against Vallandigham 
 and his j)arty by going outside of their publica- 
 tions and of official records. This is fair. And 
 mark how the facts thus obtained harmonize 
 with those gathered from their lips and pens. 
 Space does not alk)w of more than an allusion

 Having just returned from the city of Rich- 
 mond, Va., where I have been for over one 
 year, I v.ish you would give the following pub- 
 lication ill your valuable journal. 
 
 I have during my stay in Richmond, made 
 the intimate acquaintance of J. Lane. Captain 
 in the Confederate army, son of Gen. Joe Lane, 
 of Oregon, wiio is well informed, and who 
 assured me Uml the Inle inrasi'ins i f the North by 
 Lee and M- ryin were made upon the earnest and 
 undoubted repre.ienlalwn of that ^' true Sou'hem 
 man, Valluudiyham." who assured Jeflf. Davis 
 and bis Cabinet, that the North was ripe for a 
 revolution, and only awaited the appearance 
 of the Southern army to proclaim for Jeff. Da- 
 vis and forsake Lincoln. * * * * 
 Respectfully, vour.«,

 Let this be read and re-read. Most com- 
 pletely does it sustain the position that a con- 
 spiracy against the life of the Nation exists between 
 Jiff". Daiis Jc Co. and the sclf-slyled Democract/ 
 of the North. More than this — that ]Vooilward 
 and Lowrie and their friends in Pennsylvania 
 are '• part and parcel ' of the conspiracy, or at 
 least, that they are acting in concert with it. 
 This letter requires no comment. Its ficts Men of the East, the North, the West — of 
 
 have not beeti authoritatively contradicted. 
 How powerfully they cry out against Vallan- 
 diifhaui und all hit fwUowurs.
