The canvass for Yallandigham in Ohio
drags pitifnlly. The mass of the people
stubbornly refuse to give "the martyr" any
sympathy. ALI of the efforts of the party
leaders to kindle passion against 9the per-
secutorsl. utterly fail, i The .fashiest clap
trap about the eternal sanctity Of free
speech yanishes with the fash, and that is
the end of It. All the red-hot Indignation
against the Ssworst dsspotism of the age,p
is received with the most absolute cool
ness. Nothing answers. The people of
Ohio are as firm as flint in their purpose
not to make Vallandigham their Governor;
and even his most ardent champions are
giving up all hope.
The same unconcern for his banishment
from,the country exists among the North.
ern people generally. The prevailing feel
ing is that he has got no more tnan his
Just deserts. The CopperheRdT organs find
it impossible to change this feeling; and
the more prudent portion of them have
given up all agitation of the matter, as
working more damage TO them than bene-
fit. The election an Kentucky wrought
wonders in disclosing TO then! the actual.

TO what is. the miscarriage of all the
calculations on Vallandigham to be attrib-
uted 2 Primarily, we say, to his own Po-
,liticat unWorthiness. He was one of the
five Oongressmen who; in the beginning Of
the war, voted against any money appro-
priation for its maintenance, of which five,
three afterward Joined the rebels. He had
ever since done his utmost to obstrnct and
stop the war. It was morally certain
that his unmeasured denunciations of the
Burnside order were stimulated by no 9TH
er spirit than that of embarrassing the
military service of the Government Had
he been the paid agent of the rebels ne
could not have worked in their behaltwlth
greater diligence or greater skill HAD
his efforts succeeded the rebellion would
have prevailed. In the speech which
was the immediate cause of his arrest, he
said that "the sooner the people inform the
miuions of the 5usurped power that they
will not submit to such restrictions on
their liberties, the better" he, inthe
name of liberty, urging revolt which would

stinctiyely shrank from such an abuse OF

Afterward came the horrible New York

Ilandieham had addressed to the people OF
lOhio' The whole North read the cbnse-
