The Republican press Of Cincinnati is exer-
csing itself not a little upon Mr.. Vallandig-
ham, whose election--in case freedom at the
polls is permitted--in the Third District stems
probable The COMMERCIAL, especially, by
publishing garbled and pretended extracts
from his speeches, has awakened feeling OF
virtuous Indignation in certain of our fellow
citizens, more distinguished for their credu-
lity than for their sense who have actually
gone so far as to talk of an incursion into the
Third District, with view to bringing the
public services OF the obnoxious candidate to
u hempen termination. .4r '-,'
The Commercial among other things, pub
fishes a couple of letters from Mr.. V. to Rev.
Sabin Hough, in this city, and calls attention
to them editorially, in which the writer ex-
presses strong desire for return of peace,
saying .HaJ u.H..| .Ul.tol 81 gu

The letters of Mr. Vallandigham were
written in April 1851 In March, 1861
probably not Eve weeks before-the CONNER
cipi, in an elaborate editorial, used the fol
lowing language:
y WAR for the subjugation Of the Seceders
would be unwise and deplorable,Y,
IF there are two nations here living ia an
unnatural unionl they should, Tor the benefit
of one or both, be separated"
IN lHWe are not in favor Of blockading the
Southern coast. We are not in favor Of re-
taking by force the property of the United
States now in possession of the Seceders
i We would recognize the existence of GOV
