Let ii be constantly kept before the
people, and especially before Demo-
crats, that the dictatorial and aggressive
spirit of the Southern wing and the
stubborn and unyielding spirit of the
Northern wing Of the Democratic
party, in the Charleston Convention,
broke up that Convention, split the
Democratic party, elected Mr.. Lincoln,
and thus furnished the immediate occa-
sion of the rebellion, If the Charles
ton Convention had agreed upon plat.
form and q candidate for the Presi-
dency, Abraham Lincoln would not
have been elected, and the Southern
States could have had no pretext for
rebellion.
Now, when Geo. E. Pugh says that
the Republican party caused the re-
belion by refusing to accept the Crit
tenden Compromise, ask him why he,
and Richardson, and others, did not
accept the platform presented by the
Southern men in the Charleston Con-
vention, and thus prevent the rupture
in the Democratic party, and thereby
prevent the election of Mr.. Lincoln.
He and his fellow delegates were first
called upon to compromise in the
Charleston Convention, and refused
Therefore, by Pughs own logic, they
are responsible for the war.
Ask him, further, why be allowed
tho two.thirds " rule of the Demo
cratic party to be violated in the
! Charleston Convention. In all the
Democratic Conventions from 1882 tc
1856, two.thirds of the uotes giuen were
sufficient to nominate. But in the
Charleston Convention, q resolution
was adopted, on the 1st Of May, 1860
requiring that no person should bt
declared nominated unless he received
two-thirds of all the votes The full Con

, must have known that this rule would
, prevent the nomination of Mr.. Doug
las, and also prevent, unless the North
ern Democrats yielded, the nomina

, Mr.. Pugh allow this rule to be adopted

At O Democratic meeting held in
Dayton, December 18th, 1S47, Val
landigham, as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, reported the
following:
Resolved, That whatever opinions
might have been entertained of the
origin, necessity, or justice by the To
ries of the Revolutionary War, by the
Fedcralists of the lato war with Eng
land, or by the Wings and Abolitionists
of tho present war with Mexico the
fact of their country's being engaged
in such war ought to have been suffi-
cient for them, and to have precluded
debate on that subject till successful
termination Of the war; and that in
the meantime, the patriot could have
experienced no difficulty in recogni-
zing his place on the side of his coun-
try. and could never have been induced
toyield eithcr physical or moral aid
to the enemy"
From the above resolution it will
be seen that Vallandigham favored the
war with Mexico. But he ia not there
fore inconsistent in opposing the pres
ent war. Why did he favor the wal
with Mexico, and why does he oppose
the present war to suppress the rebel
lion2 Because the Mexican war was
undertaken for the benefit Of the South
and for the acquisition of slave terri
terry; the present war is against tht
interest of slavery and shareholders
Wherever and whenever Vallandig
dam turns up, he is found on the sidt
of the domineering South and on thC
side of slavery.
Favoring the South, as he does, h,
declares that he will not sustain tn
war, In his speech at Dayton, on th
I'd of August, 1862, he used the fol
lowing language:
"War is upon US; and from tho be
ginning, believing as l did. and We
powerless for good, laid down the rul
for myself and have faithfully adhered
to it, and will to the end, neither t.
vote for nor against any purely wa
measure of tho Administration =
| Wherever ! have voted on any question
my course has been governed by othe
considerations than those having rel
erence to my opinions on the war, AC
cordingly, I haze not uoted for any arm
bill, or navV biN or army or nary dppro
priation BILL since the meeting of Con
greSS on the 4th Of Wly 1861, Ncithe
have voted against any such bil
from the beginning"
But he forgots to tell us that he vc
ted against the amendment to the Ma
tional Loan Bill authorizing the issu
ing Of Treasury Notes, against the In
tornal Revenue Bill, and against
number Of other bills, without whic
the Government would have bee
helpless and overthrown.

olds' In Company with Noble County
Rioter.

DR., .Olds in Town.-0n Friday eve
ming last Edison B. Olds, that Uery pi-
Gus Individual who was confined in a
"LincoIn Bastile," and denied the use
of his bible and even a bit of waste pa
per by @Lincoln's hirelingsn arrived in
our town on his way to Hoskinsville,
to attend a Yallandigham picnic to be
held in that noted place, an account of
which will be found elsewhere in our
columns. The faithful were soon in
formed that the BLESSED martyr" was
in town, and q few of the regular Val
landighammors could be seen vending
their way to the hotel where he stopped,
so that their eyes might behold his pi-
GUS and sanity form, Hoslzinsville
was a very fit place for the sanity Doc
tor to 60 to spout his treason. He
doubtless found many congenial spirits
among the residents of that locality,
some Of whom are charged with har-
boring deserters from the army, openly
resisting the laws of the country, and
burning churches because they were
pleased to call some of those who wor-
shipped in them "Abolitionists." This
very sanity Doctor, who so much la
mented that he was deprived of his BIZ
BILE while incarcerated in q 'Iincoln
Bastile," " wasybrought back here on his
way home, ON Sunday, by one Lewis
Fisher, who was charged with being
one of the Noble county rioters, and
who, we believe is now under bonds
for his appearance at the United States
Circuit Court for the Southern District
of Ohio.
Go on thou sanity martyr, be faith
full little longer, and you will finally
land in that tropical country where
there are no "Abolitionists, and where
you can enjoy, uninterrupted, the soci-
ETY. of your Southern brethren. -

CIRCULAR NO. 67.
The following opinion of Colonel Jo-
seph Holt, Judge Advocate General,
with regard to men who have been
drafted and who were abroad or at sea at
the time Of the draft, is published for
the information and guidance ofoflicers
Of this bureau, viz:
"The class Of persons referred to, if
deserters according to the letter Of the
statute, are not so according to its
spirit, and should not be so treated by
the Government. The drafted men
who are declared to be deserters for
having failed to report themselves for
duty, are those who have had actual
personal notice, or constructive notice,
from leaving summons at their last
place of residence, that they have been
drafted, and that their attendance at
the rendezvous named is required. II
is assumed that the constructive notice
has reached the parties, and hence they
are denounced as deserters fornot obey
ing it. Desertion involves o criminal
intent, and man can not, in the sense
of the law, or with any propriety O.
language, be held to have deserted 9
service when he did not know he be,
longed to ito have neglected a duty
when he had no means Of knowing that
it had been imposed on him. The law
would stultlfy itself were it to declare
otherwise.
Ignorance of the law excuses M
man, but ignorance Of facts alwayl
does. The law obliges no man to dc
an impossible thing, nor can 1t on any
principle hold him responsible for no
having done it, When, therefore, {
drafted man is abroad or at sea, ol
otherwise placed in such circumstan
ces as to render it physically impossi
bio for him to have had knowledge o
the draft, and of his duty under it, he
shall not be advertised or treated as {
deserter Such a step would be cruel
and would shock the sense of public
justice which all entertain, II sucl
