Of the faction that oppose the Ad
mlnistration is the Infamous Vallandie.
ham. He is the au Aor Of the Democratic
Address signed By Dick Richardson and
thirteen other secession allies. Dick was
feol enough to father the tory production,
but Vaalandigham was the real progcnito1
Of the little monster.
The Chicago Times aspires to be the
Western organ and echo Of Vallandieham.
It's editor Worships him with an idolatry
not equaled by the devotion Of Shcahan to
Douglas during the lifetime OF the latter.
He reproauccs Vallandighau's disloyal
ideas and malignant haired Of Union men
in every issue Of his sheet
Il may be well to reproduce one or
two items Of the record Of this recognized
head Of what remains Of the Democratic
organization. In al address which he de-
iyercd before the Cooper Institute Of New
York, shortly before the breaking out Of the
var, lie made use Of the following Ian
guage:
*tlf any one OF more Of the States of this Union
should at any time Eecede for reasons Of the suf
ciency and justice Of which, before God and the
great tribunal Of history, they alone may judge,
much as shorld deplore it, I never would, as a
representative in the Congress Of the United
States, vote one dollar Of money whereby ono drop
Of American blood should be shed in civil war :.
Here, III the presence Of thousands Of
Democrats he boldly avowcd that he would
yote no money to stay the rising Of this re-
bellion, or to prevent the consummation OF
tie Infamous doctrine Of secession. He
would vote no money to tGspcrse and de-
feat the men who appeared so lcfan,ly in
arms against the honor and dignity Of this
nation, and who threaten the integrity of
lie Constitution and the destruction Of the
Government, and he has lived up to lis
pledge; for lie has never yet voted one
dollar to sustain either tile army or the nayy
Of the country in the prosecution of this
war. This is the man who drafted the new
Dtmocratic platform Of principles.
On the 1th Of January, 1861, after Major
Anderson had made his mastery movement
from Fort Nloultric 10 Fort Sum:er, 3Ir.
Adrian Of New Jersey, a war Democrat,
introduced the following resolution:
*'Eeso7ged, That We fully approve Of the bold aud
patEotle act of Major Anderson in withdrawing
from Fort Monlirle to Fort Sumter. and Of the
actetnination Of the President to maintain that
fearless officer in his present position; and that
We WILL support the President in all constitutional
measures TO enforce the laws and preserve fhc
lElUn.s'
Among The negatives to this patriotic
resolution, was the author and signer Of the
Democratic address. It will be rcmem-
bcred that after breckenridge left the SEN
ote lie went to Baltimore, where he deliy-
cred rank secession speech to an audience
Of ayowcd traitors, and Va1landigham ac-
comranied him and addressed the same
crowd to tie same purpose.
We make the following extract from the
speech Of Nlr. Edgerton Of Ohio, delivered
IN Congress few days since. In the course
Of his review of the secession sympathics
Of the great dougl'face leader, hc said:
Moro than That Ny colleague, duriHsthe dark
days of The last session Of tbs Thlrty-sixth Con.
E4ESSt AaeI tnlS IiOuSe was IlIcd with traitors
when State after State had gone out OF the Union
my colleague. in my presence. and in the presence
o. others, said that the troops Of Ohio, 5efore tic,
sho7ad march Through his district to toe,re t<
s"a'h, 7Eoa'd haee 10 march orsr his dead JoQu,
True it is that he denies it; but in that his mem
orr is at 1anlt. There were others who heard it.
Who arc now members Of this House,
We refer to this new leader Of "Dcmoc.
.racy," because there are thousands Of patri.
otie war Democrats who follow the party
organization and name without considering
whittier it is leading them, or pcrcciving
that ii is engineered by a pack of traitors
who are striving to bring the Democratic
party into collision with the Government
for the purpose Of aiding the rebels
saving slavery and smashing the Union
The master spirit among these bad and
dis1oyal men is Eallandigham- author
Of the Democratic address and the leader
Of The party.
