READ THE PROOE-

The Shot January Convention pretend
ed to be an assemblage of loyal citizens, in
favor of sustaining he Government. Their
speeches and resolutions gave the lie to the
pretense. The applauded orators lin that
body went just as far as they dared in ven
tilaIing their hatred of the Document
by arousIng the anImosity of their deluded
followers against measures essential TO its
preservation.
The address of the celebra ted committee
of IA " has been issued since that Con-
vention, and has been endorsed by all Of
the papers sustaining the action of that
Convention. The 8th-of January Democ-
racy in this State have endorsed Vallandig-
ham, Voorhees, & Co., and are to be Judged
in the light of the official conduct OF these
men. Are they patriotic2 IT so, then are
those who endorse their actions, patriotic.
Vallandigbam's whole course in Congress
has been in harmony with the sympathfzers
with the rebellion, and those who endorse
him virtually array themselves against the
cause of the Union.
Let us examine the record, as made up
by some of our contemporaries:
On the 18th of January, 1851, while Jas.
Buchanan was Still President and after
Major Anderson had made bis mastery
movement from Fort Moultrie, Mr.. Adrian.
OF New Jersey, offered the following reso-
luticn
"ResolUed, That we fully approve of the
bold and patriotic act of Major Anderson
in Withdrawing from Fort Moultrie to
Fort Sumter, and of the determination of
the President to maintain that fearless Off
Ger in hiss present position and that we
will support the President in all constitu-
tioual measures to enforce the laws and pre-
serve the UnIon."
Vallandigham voted NO.
Hon. Mr.. Edgerton, of Ohio, made the
following charge in recent speech:
MY colleague, during the dark DAYS of
the last session of the Thirty-sixth Con-
gress, when this house was filled with trait
ors-when State after State had gone out
of the UniOn-my colleague in nv pres
nee, and in the presence of others, SAID.
" that the troops of Ohio, before they should
march through his district to coerce the
es-Ss~A >-1zAlaldh aEa- to march oyer hiS-GaaAi

of this House."
