TEE vALLANn1GHAM ADDRESS.
Fourteen members Of Congress, calling
themselves Democrats, haye. put forth an
n-idress to the Democracy Of the United
States, urging q reorganization If their
party, for the purpose Of opposing and
gripping the Administration and restoring
the rule and dominion Of the slave power
over the nation. In spirit and argument,
1his address is as false and pro slavery as
The addresses which have proceeded from
Secession conventions In the South. The /
spirit Of Tailaudigham pergades every sen
fence. It is disloyal, tory document
from beginning to end Not patriotic
word or thought does it contain If the
zump Of the Democratic party choose to
adopt this infamous address as their plat
form and take their appeal 10 the people
thereon, we shall be glad to meet them on
issues raised.
This address contains not one word ofre-
iule or reprobat;on Of the rebels and
traitors who are striving to destroy the
Tnion. It contains not one word Of cheer
for the soldiers of the army pcriling their
lives to save the Republic It contains not
one word Of cong1atn1asion for the splen-
did series of victories achieved by our brave
and devoted soldiers sqer the parricides. It
utters no hope and bresthes no wish for the
speedy and e.fectual suppression Of the re-
bcl1ion. It expresses no sympathy for the
1oEal side of the conflict; On the contrary,
it. is cold, clammy aud Yenomous as q
serpent, towards the National cause, There
is no condemnation Of THE rebel barbarides
and atrocities committed on Union SOL
Giers. There is not a hint that this is a
Shareholders revolt for the overthrow Of
free government; but on the contrary there
are labored apologies for the rebels, and 1y-
ing assertions that the war might have been
prevented by the adoption Of Crittenden's
Compromise, when 1t is notorious that
nothing short Of Iincoln's resignation and
the Inauguration OF breckenridge, as Presi-
dent, with an unconditional surrender Of
the rights Of the North to the shareholders
would hare placated the secessionists.
The leading idea that pervades this tory
address is that if the Democratic party
had been kept in power there would have
been no rebellion. But Vallandigham s
Co, carefully conceal the fact that
the Democratic party was hope.
Iessly divided before Lincoln was
elected, that it split in twain at Charleston
and shirered to pieces at Baltimore, 8 yea,
before the Republican Administration can't
into power; at 8 time when the Demo
cratic party occupied and controlled all tn
departments Of the Government. And
furthermore, that when Lincoln was inau
gurated, the House, Senate and Suprem
Court we're ali in the hands Of this sam
party. But 81 irrepressible conflict raget
in its ranks On questions Of platform
The Northern wing refused to conced
to the Southern the enormous demand
made upon it. Thereupon the 6outheT
Democrats seeded from the party. The
next seeded from the Onion, and the
xaced war ae,,inst the Government II
those So71thern Democrats that bo1
ed Mt Baltimore which the Government
now engaged in subduine, To restore Il
government of the Republic to the hant
Of these traitors and thsir Northern sery
tors of the yalIanaieham etripe,
the work the Address exhorts tt
people to perform. The rebellion
tottering to its fall. The breath Of Ii
will soon be trodden out of it. The lea
ers see that their conspiracy is about pla
ed out. What is to be done? TYhv, a
neal to their old lickspittle cronics in t
North to save them: TO ward of the ,
trihutiye Justice awaiting theur; to pa
the way for their restoration to polite
power and supremacy in Federal affairs
ofold, and these base and treacherous mt
ials rush forward with alacrity to do Il,
