On the 9th inst, Mr.. Gurley presented to
the House petition signed by over six hun
dred names, requesting the expulsion Of Val
landingham, whom they stigmatize as a
traitor to the country and disgrace to the
State. ValIandigham earned uew title to
his reputation by resolutions thanking Hall
leck for the bloodless victory and expressing
the hopes Of Congress for the maintenance
Of the Consultation as 1t is, and the Union as
it was, without further effusion OF blood.
This is the same VaIlandgham who re.
Gently issued an address, in connection with
few others, urging the reconstruction OF
the Democratic party. This address was
pub lished in most of tho Locoioco papers
with approbatory remarks; and in accordance
with the It recommendation OF this rebel sym
pathizer and traitor, Sta'e Convention is to
be held in Columbus on the 4th OF July. On
Saturday the 28th inst, a meeting is to be
held in this county for the purpose Of ap.
pointing delegates to the Vallandigbam
Conventions; and, we suppose, all who accord
in sen ntiment with the traitor will be in at
tendance. But there are Democrats in Har-
rison county, the loyal and true men of the
party, who have no sympathy in common
with Vallandingham and his followers, that
cannot be induced to attend that meeting
who will never connect themselves with a
party led by such man. Such men we re-
peat, will not be found at the Vallandigham
Convention to be held in Cadz on the 28th
inst. There are many loyal Democrats in
this county, and all such will stand aloof
from the proposed meeting, the object of
which is to reconstruct the Locofoco party,
with Vallsndigbam the notorious rebel sym
pathizer, as its leader.
DsF We publish the above article
from the Cadiz Republican of last
week, in full, for the purpose of giving
it a ventilation, and also to show our
renders the manner in which the party
in power in this county intend to carry
on the coming political campaign
namely by threats, taunts, jeers, false
hood and hypocrisy.
To show how the petition presented
by Reverend Congressman Gurley was
gotten up, the following from the Co.
lumbus Crisis will fully expluin. And
we might also add, that if the conser-
vative men of the country were dispo-
sed, they could get up petitions with
any amount Of signatures, to have ev-
cry abolition member of Congress, ex>
PEELED, Mr.. Bingham included. 1t is
a game that two can work at.
The Dayton Empire tells a good story a
bout the petition introduced by the Reverend
Mr.. Gurley into Congress for the expulsion
of Vallandigham. The kllow who got up
the petition after getting 25 or 80 names
on it took it to Mr.. Vallandigham and offer
ed it to him for $500, stating what he tho't
sxch petition with the names ofMr. VS.
most prominent enemies, would be worth it
10 him politically. Mr.. Vallandigham not
ieeling disposed to encourage such mode Of
making money, ordered the fellow from his
premises. He then went to work, got more
names to it, aud put it in the hands OF the
Rsvc, end Gurley, Of Bull Run notoriety.
Now the question is, how much did the
Reverend Gurley pay far IT,
For the past twelve months it has
been a studied effort on the part of the
abolition republican leaders and press
to see how much they could lie about,
abuse and villify the Congressman from
third Congressional District in this
State. He appears to trouble them at
all times and in all places. They have
said so much about him that his popu-
larity at home has increased at least
fifty per cent. to what it was when he
was elected to Congress, as the late
elections in his District show. And
we .should not be surprised if he was
reelected to Congress by larger MAJ
.jority Ghan he was before, notwith-
standing the present Legislature added
to his District a strong abolition coun-
ty. Theitfeuble with these abolition
Congressman, and their echoes, the
abolition press, ,sach as the Cadiz Re-
publican, is, Mr.. Vallandigham has
BRAINS, an article that few ,1f them
possess. His resolution, thanking Gen.
H Haileek, which our neighbor seelus to
dislike, will not be objected to by any
true asver Of his country. Men who
want the war carried on for tie put

The editor Of the Republican has
,sde the assertion SO often that Mr..
yallandigham was the author of the
ddress recently issued by the Demo-
ratio members Of Congress, (not that
Is authorship would be discredit to
