: should be. Even the poor besotted Conner
, heads Of Butler county, who say that JEFF
Davis isonly fighting to keep old Lineoll
from putting down the Democrats. '-evel
they believe themselves to be true Uniol
men.
Now for Nallandighau to openly ioi1
the rebels and declare himself disunion
lst would be to lose the support of ever
that most miserable class Of i9noyapai wbr
constitute the bulk Of his followers. This
therefore, we will never do. Indeed The
exact contrary will be the case and ]
warn the loyal people of the North to be
prepared for the spectacle Of FalIandig-
ham preaching Unionism, even amongst
the traitors Of the South. - -
Long before this time, 1 doubt not, he
has explained this subject to Bragg and
the other rebel authorities, and has ar
ranged with them his plan Of proceeding.
While enjoying every personal comfort
which rebellion can afford, he will openly,
and with an appearance Of defiance pro-
claim himselfa Union man. He will even
be permitted to make what he will call
Union speeches. The principal organs Of
the rebellion, initiated into the conspiracy
will blatantly denounee his Unionism,
while the lesser and uninitiated sheets
viii yelp and howl in concert. The ignor-
ant Southern mob viii perhaps even threat
ca to lynch him for his sentinaen tS.-Tnen
aerliskR u and Voorhees, and Cox and Pen
dleton, and the whole hos Of venomous
irothy denagogges, will throw up their /
nanos, shd roll their eyes, and call upon
the people to behold the suderings Of that /
great soul, that true friend Of the Union, |
the martyr Vallandigham. Igllvrs,u.aa
prejudice, malignant party feeling, knav- |
cry, bssenessI avarice and cowardiee will !
be appealed TO and all, if possible, arrayed |
in one solid mass in his favor. Thus viii |
the division Of the North be effectually es-
tablished, and the Government distracted |
and paralyzed by the knaves who are |
seeking 10 ruin it and the fools whom it is |
endeaToring to save. -- -
The rebel leaders can well afford, for
such a purpose, to give full swing to Val
landigham, and tolerate his Unionism
for although they will in their own secret
council reject his vision Of a subjugated
North and the restoration Of the " Union
as it was, still they will have succeeded
in destroying the unity Of the loyal States,
which they have long believed is the only
obstacle to the entire success Of the rebel
lion aud the independence of thu succeed
ed States.
Briefly, then, this is, the programme Of
Vallandigham-to profess while in the
South rampant Unionism by special ar
with the rebel authorities; to
draw down upon himself for the same, the
1enuDciation Of the rebel newspaper, and
Lhe threatened violence Of Southern mobs;
io furnish in this way, capital for his pol
itical friends in the North, enabling them
10 rally the baser elements amongst the
people, in conjunction with the more hon
est but ignorant, against the Union to
paralyze by factious oppOsitions the Ad-
for crushing the rebellion;
and thus to bring about, as Vallandigham
hopes, the subsection of the entire nation
% the rule Of the slave aristocracy, but,
IS the rebel leaders intend, the permanent
overthrow Of the National Unity, and the
Of a Confederate" Indepen-
lence.
Fellow-citizens Of Ohio It is upon
such q programme rs this that Vallandig-
lam is boasting amongst his fellow-trait-
'rs that he will be our next Governor?
What say you Let the last lingering
rope Of himself and all such as he, wither
'Orever when, at the ballot. box, you record
your indignant answer
