h Tar I" DEAp Bopy."-It viii b re-
'membered that Congressman Vsllandig.
ham. Of Ohio. during the past Winter.
in one Of his speeches in Justification and
aid of treason, declared that if an army
attempted to march through his District.
ON its way to coercs . seceling State. it
would have to pass over his dead body.
That was the theoretical part Of it. Now
the practical part hes transpired. When
the fall Of Fort Sumter was announced.
and the President called for troops. the
Dayton 20. } Empire. owned and con-
trollsd by vallaudighsm. came ont in an
article breathing the foulest treason. An
excited crowd. composed Of men Of al
parties. gathered about the Office. and
were making preparations to demolish
1t, when the editor made his appearance,
and disavowed the sentiments contained
the article; stating that he did not write
it, but that it was slipped in while h
was sick. It being ascertained that Val
landigham was the author Of the article
the crowd made rush for bis house. de
termined to hang him at once. Bot tn
Western Fire-eater" bad given then
the slip. and bis body. dead or alive
could not be found high nor low. hs'
he been found at that time. he woul'
probably never have lived to talk treason
again. Five companies have since lsf
Dayton for the war. but none Of then
stumbled over the dead body Of Vallsn
digham. The poor, pitiful traitor ma
fhd it very safe to dispense big tall
when loyal citizens are calm and quiet
but when danger threatens the country
and be attempts to carry his sentiment
into practical effect, be dwindles down t
his native littleness-he has no NOR
power nor show than pismire under th
feet of an elephant.
