Vallandigham-his Trsitorous Fac
ton and its Purposes.

We nave nc Wish 10 assist NaIlaHdl6-
ham in gratifying his base desire for noto-
riety, even if it should be of the same type
that made the name of Benedict Arnod
e~ternally infamous. But as he has sue
ceeded in organizing a faction of sympa-
thizers, it is our duty to expose his treaeh-
cry and demagogueism.
There wa at Columbus, on the Ash inst,
Q convocation of politicians to nominate
sStats Ticket, who had the presumption
to call themselves Democrats, while en-
aorsing the secession doctrines of VallaR-
dighsm. He was among them, the "ob-
served of all observers" He made a
speech full of secession slang. against the
North and the Administration. Now it
should not be forgotten that this man,
whom the party falsely calling itself DEM
~ocratic, recognizes as its Acknowledged
Leader, no longer ago than the 9TH of last
February, introduced a bill in the House
Of Representatives, for the dissolution of
the Union. As there are some men who
deny that he ever did so, we here publish
the project, that all who wish to learn
what the real purposes of the Yallandig-
hammers are, may not be without an OPP
portunity. The Bill reads as follows:
BE it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America IN Congress assembled, two
thirds Of both Houses eoncurring.l That
the following articles be and are hereby
proposed as amendments to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as part
of said constitution, when ratified by con-
ventions in three-fourths of the several
states.
"ArTIcLK XII. SEC. /. The United
States are divided into four sections, as
follows:
1.-THE Statesof Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,. Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York, New jersey
and Pennsylvania, and all new states an
nexed and admitted into the Union, or
formed or erected within the Jurisdiction
of any of said States, or by the junction of
two or more of the same or of parts there
of, or out of territory acquired north Of
said states, shall constitute n section to
be known as the North.
1.-The States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa
and Kansas, and all new states annexed
or admitted into the Union, or formed or
erected within the jurisdiction of any of
said states, or by the junction of two or

3Q, and east of the crest of the Rocky

The States of Oregon and California.
and all new states annexed and admitted
into the Union, or formed or erected With
In the jurisdiction of any of said states, or
by the junction of two or more of the SAME
or of parts thereof, or out of territory now
held or acquired west of the crest of the
Rocky Mountains and of the Rio Grande,
shall constitute another section, tc be

ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,

more OF the same or parts thereof, or out
of territory acquired east o. the Rio Grande
and south of latitude Sc 30r, shall corr
Ftitute another section, to be known as
the South.
'SEc. 2. On demand of one-third Of
the Senators of any one OF the sections ON
any bill, order, resolution or vote, to which
the concurrence of the House of Repre-
sentatives may be necessary, except On a
question of adjournment, a vote shall be
had by sections, and a majority Of sena-
tors from each section voting shall be ne
cessary to the passage of such bill, order
o. resolution, and to the validity of every
such vote"
Hare follow two sections relative to the
mode Of electing President and Vice Pre-
sident. and then the following article:
"ARrcz keno state shall secede
Githout the consent of the legislatures of
al the states af A< s6ction 10 which the State
proposing 20 seecds SkaH belong. The Presi-
dent shaA have power to adjust with all
seeding states all questions arising BY
reason of their secession; but the terms of
the adjustment shall be submitted to the
Congress for their approval before the
same shall be valid"
rlfere, SAYS the Ne" orK foSt, was
a deliberate attempt to divide the Union
formally, to give each section veto upon
the proceedings of the others, which would
DESTROY what little connection still remain
~, and finally TO authorize a complete
separation as c ss any section might
see st TO separate, With power given to
the President to adjust the farms of ruP-
tire. Yet the author of this P~esolge.
which 1aight be eRFaAd ~ An Act to le-
gitimatize anarchy and allow eFRFy body
70 DO as he pleascs, is the same Taiiaa4ig,
ham who makes flaming speeches about
preserving the constitution as IL is. and
who Is Ut the head of the new faction
xhirh -aises that cr' rs its shitboieth."
