PROOF THAT TALLANDl(s-
HAM IL A TRAITOR,


CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. =, 1868.
At the request of 9. F. Baldwin. Of Mount
Vernon, Ohio, again make statement of 4
conversation between myself and Colonel
Webb, Of the 3tst Alabama, G. 8. A., which
has already been published in the Cincinnati
Commercial Of the 10Th of September.
In cava1ry fight st Duck River, Tennessee,
July 2, 1862, Col Webb WAS mortally wound
ed. was sent BY Major General Stanley, In
the night, to see II the Colonel could be
bropRht Into our lines found him to bs
very intelligent and quite willing to converse.
Knowing that he was the officer who receiy-
cd Vallandjgham when he entered the Con
federate lines, made some inquiries about
the grat CopFerhead. Among other things
that the Colonel told me was, that Vallaadig-
ham told him that the South did not pursue
the right policy; that. instead Of allowing
the North to invade Kentucky and Tennss-
gee, and making the battle fields in said States,
they should transfer the battle fields to Ohio
and Indiana, and that If they did 80, stroug
party would declare In their favor; that the
Administration would be compelled to recog-
njze the independence Of the south.
This may not be the exact language used,
but is the substance Of the conversation AT
the time, the Colonel knew that ha Was NOR
tally wounded. He died In two OF three days.
At The time, I Was acting brigade surgeon In
the 2d brigade, I'd cavalry division; and
make the statement public because 1t Is q link
in the chniu Of evidence that helps to prove
that the man, or rather traitor, who Is now
seeking the Office Of Chief Magistrate Of the
State Of OHIO, did n,ys the South to send her
homes and shed the blood Of those whom, he
nov ~ishes to support him.
Very respectfully, J. R. WE1sr,

It is constantly claimed by the Copper
heads that yast majority Of the soldiers
are Democrats and if at home would
vote their ticket; that the reason the sol
ders, when in camp, vote the Union ticket
is because they are influenced and con-
trolled BY their officers, and are "under
Lincoln despotism." We have become
accustomed to this kind Of talk; but now
we find the Copperheads raising great
outcry that soldiers are getting furloughs
30 that they may attend the election at
home. The Copperhead papers Of Penn
sylvania are blazing hot with denunc1a-
tiens Of recent military order giving
twenty days furloughs to all the sick and
wounded Pennsylvania soldiers in the
various hospitals IN and about Washington.
- = The Copperhead papers pronounce this
order to be terrible fraud On the Dem
ocracy, and say that it will add 5000
votes to the Union ticket. The cry now
is that Lincoln is sending his minions to
the polls to vote down the stay-at-home
Democratic citizens. But if the soldiers
are mainly. Democrats, Of the disunion
peace stripe, why do the Copperheads OBJ
ject to their coming home to voter If
every Pennsylvania soldier could be fur
loughcd tor fortnight Gov. Curtin's ma
jority would be $1,000 greater than it will
be, though it will be large enough for all
practical purposes. We hare no fears Of
the result in the Keystone State next
Tuesday. Rebellion will get as stunning
blow as it received at Gettysburg,

THE Issue WE'LL PUr-In recent speech
In Ohio, the Hon. John Sherman presents the
iesue made IN the nomination Of Vallandir-
ham In the following most forcible light:
"He1e Is q convicted trastor,n he ssys,
"nomipated as the Democratic Governor Of
Ohio. He is sopposed to the Government; op-
posed to the war; Will not vote for man to
tuppress the rebellion, and will not yote dol
lar to sustain our soldiers. And yet the Demo-
cratic party calls upon the people to elect
this man CoDmander.in in Chief Of the army and
payy of Ohio-and this in the midst Of war
with the enmies OF the country, whom he was
convicted Of aiding"

~ The Chicago rebel organ has reiter-
ated the falsehood uttered by the Cincinnati
Enquirrr, New York. Horzd and other Cop
pe.head papers, that enough of Rosecrans'
army WAS detached AID sent into Ohio to
electionee1 and Tote against Vnllandigham to
have insured victory over Bragg, had they
remained in the army. The Cincinnati Gag
cite says Of this ridiculous invention:
AFT is a uppstrous falsebood, and could
have been told for no other than a treason
sble purpose. But It is also weak lie, and

The Chicago Post insists that there is no
secession, because secession is illegal
There being no secession, there is,
Of course, no rebellion, because rebellion
is the offspring Of secession; and still more
no war, as war is the child OF rebellion.
And to carry out the logic Of the Post to
Its legitimate conclusions, it is also plain
according to the able editor Of that sheet
that, rebellion being like secession, illegal,
there can be no rebellion. Rebellion is
unconstitutional, therefore null and void,
and therefore there Is no rebellion. The
same 'uncontrovertible kind Of reasoning
is alike applicable to the war. The war
is unconstitutional, hence null and void,
and it follows most inevitably that there is
no war. It is true that the Posi- daily
speaks OF the seeded States, and of the
rebels, and fills many columns with news
from the war; but this is all done to adopt
the common style oftalk, or fall in with and
humor the strange ehaliucination of people
who have been misled and deluded into
believing in that which has no existence
whatever save in their own foolish brains.
The Chicago Post understands all this,
and is willing to indulge the strange fam
cies Of its readers, by talking Of the rebel
lion and the war, just as if they actually
existed. But then this shrewd and sly
sheet knows better all the time. It not
only don't believe in them, but 1t
knows that their existence is abso-
lutely impossible under our glorious
institutions. Any act that is unconstitu-
tional Is null and yoid, and no act. The
Constitution forbids secession, therefore
there is no secession. The Constitution
prohibits rebellion and civil war, therefore
there is no rebellion, aud no war. There
are no rebels in arms, it Is all illegal and
false, There have been no battles fought M
blood shed these are all sensation rcports
of the Aboliionists. Such things are un-
constitutional, and cannot be- There isno
secession. To say so, is to report q lie
started by such radicals as Whiting, Sum
ner, md Brownson. Secession is illegal,
null and. void, has never been, and can
never be.
We pronounce secession illegal and ua-

understand where it differs from the old Con
clauees In ita1ic letters. Many Of these are
highly important, and If they had been a part
OF the old Constitution, Mae tenths OF the
corruption at Washington never could hare
occurred, and to-day We would be united
and prosperous people. This Constitution
would reduce our expenditures at Washing
ten to less than half what Is NOW required. It
would inaugurate such reforms as would re-
store wholesome morality to the whole mn

General Government, administered by efl-

secure from encr0achments from indefinite

If We are not misled by statements.
communicated to us by loyal men, upon
whose candor and truth we are accus-
toned to r1y, there is vilainous scheme
on foot in this State to coloniEe Ohio wifi
thousands Of poor, ignorant, but desperate.
Copperheads from our interior counties.
The TRIBUNE has already, and repeatedly
sounded the alarm. A party that runs a
convicted traitor for h,gh office, will not
stop short Of any outrage to elect him.
Loyal men Of Ohio must be- on their
guard, and. prepared for the. worst exi-
gency, or they will be submerged BY the
tide Of Copperheadism. surging over their
borders. Already there is positive proof.
The railroad lines are having an increase
Of business. From station on the c. B.
and Q. Railroad at least one shipment has
been made, Of Copperhead voting cattle.
These wretches were neeer known to
leave town betore--they never before had
money enough. And they are known to
have no relatives or friends or business in
Ohio. Yet eight or ten have gone there
during the past week, from this single Sta
ton; and they left everything at home as
though they expected soon to. return.
We hear Of similar shipments In many
other places IN this State; in some in
stances, we. are told, these miscreants do
not, attempt to: hide the object Of their
mission, but boast that they are "going to
help Val"
Loyal men Of Ohio! this is your danger.
The loyal millions Of the other States,
who are intently watching the phases OF
your great canvass. are assured that you
are advised Of 1t, and prepared to meet it.
Fortunately, in the interior now alluded to,
the filthy tools Of treason are marked and
pursued. 1t is ascertained in what dis
t1icts they are, and what they are doing.
The facts hare gone forward to the proper
officials Of those districts. Should they
