The OLD Observation-Disclosures Ii.
Observation-Disclosures defeat is claim
ed as an Administration victory--aSa re-
pudiatlOn, by the people Of his district, OF
his opposition to the Presidents iniqui-
tous Abolition policy. Is this so! Did
his old district vote against him? Did it
sustain the President? The Dayton En-
pire thus proves, from the official record,
that his old district sustained him, and
that his defeat is attributable to the viii
lainy Of the Republican Legislature, WHO
threw into his old district strong Aboli
tion county, expressly for that purpose
The Administration has cause to rejoice
over such an honorable triumph. Says
the Empire:
Notwithstanding the efforts Of the Abo-
litiOn leaders and press Of the whole coun-
try, Mr. Vallandigham has been triumph
antly Endorsed by his constituentsof the
old district. Two years ago he Was elect.
cd by a majority Of less than one hundred
and fifty, and now he carries the same
district by over six hundred majority; and
not only the old district, but he carries
his own county by handsome majority,
which he never done before. This is in
deed glorious triumph, Of which ne may
well feel proud. II the AbOlitionists can
find anything to crow over in carrying
district fixed Up by an Abolition LegiSla-
ture to over 5000 majority, and which
they have only succeeded in by less than
1000, they are welcome TO it.

ALLEGIANCE The American citizen,
let it be remembered, owes allegiance
only to me laws of his country; he owes
it to no faction, to no party, TO no men, TO
no Administration. The hirelings of the
Administration, the Union, Bee and their
dcspicable imitators, are endeavoring to
educate the people into the belief that
they owc allegiance to the creatures Of
