committee consisting mostly of Demo,
cratic members Of Congress from that
State-to repair TO Washington and ask
of the President the restoration Of Mr..
Vallandigham to bis liberty and rights.
This duty the committee performed, by
personally calling upon the President in n
body, aud stating the purpose of the visit.
The interview was friendly and in nteresting:
aud they were requested by tho President
to commit their wishes to writing
This the committee did, enclosing
copy Of the resolutions adopted by the
said State Convention.
To this application, or petition, the
President replied at length, and in his
/" Characteristic STYLE" which reply our
neignbor of the journal has laid before his
readers. with an evident 'chuckle' Of sat

President OF the United States 10 nrocpra
Tue release OF Nj. Valandigbam. The
opinions OF the undersigned TOUCHING Tho
questions involved in these propositions
are wei known, have been many lines
publicly expressed, and are sufficiently
manifested in the resolutions of ,bn Con'
veniion winch they represent. and they
cannot suppose that the President expects
mat they wiIl seek the discharge of Mr.
Vallandighom by a pledge, implying
an lmpntatlon upon their own sinceriV and
.tae.tig MS citizens OF the United States =
and also carry with it by implication
concf sslop !He legality Of hi, arrest, trial
and bnnish ment, against which, they, and
'he convention they represent, have sol
emnly protested. And while they have
asked the revocatior Of the order of ban .
lshment not as a favor, but as a right due
to the people OF Ohio, and with a view TO
avoid Tim possibility Of conflict or dislur,
rance OF piblic tranquility they do not
do this, nor does Mr.. Vallandighan desire
IT, at any sacrifice of their dignity and
self,respect.
The idea that such pledge as that ask
Ell from the undersigned would secure The
public safety sufficiently to com2ensate
Tor any mistake Of the President in dis
charging Mr. Vallandigham, is. in their
opinion, mere evasion Of the grave dues
tlons involved in this discussion, and of al
direct answer to theil demand. And this
Is made especially apparent by tho fact that
tl pledge is asked in q communication.
which concludes with an intimation Of a
disposition on theTart Of the President TO
repeat the acts complained Of.
Inc undersigned therefore, b hlying fully
discharged the duty enjoined upon them,
