Fact. For Tho Voter. OF ohio to RE-

member!
Let Ohio Voters Remember that
Vallandighan is Secessionist from
principle. Let following extracts
bear witness,
"If any one or more Of the States
of this Union should at any time Sc
cede--for reasons of the sufficiency
and justice Of which, before God and
the great tribunal of history, they
alone may judge--much as I may de
plore it, | never would, as Repre-
sentative in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, vote one dollar of money
whereby one drop Of American blood
should be shed in civil war."-Val-
landigham at Cooper Institute, Nov.
2, 1860.
vallandigham proposed to divide
the Union into four separate sections
and further proposed the following:
81 propose that no State shall se.
cede without the consent of the Leg.
islature OF all the States of the section
to which the State proposing to secede
may belong"
Therefore, Vallandigham is willing
that State should secede with the
consent Of one fourth of the States
composing the Union.
Let Ohio voters Remember that
Vallandigham is Disunionist. Wit.
ness the following resolution introdu-
ccd by him in Congress, February 7,
1l61:
"The United States are divided in.
to four sections, rs follows"
In speecr, delivered bv him in
Congress, February 20, 1861, he ut
tered the following:
II propose TO y recognize the
existence of sections as q fixed fact. >
81 propose to establish four, instead
of two, grand sections Of the Union.
LetOhio voters remember that Val
'landigham is n Traitor. Witness
this confession in his speech at Day
ton, August Q, 1862:
81 have not voted for any ARM o.
Navy bill or any Army or Navy ap
preparation, since the meeting o
Congress, on the 4th Of July, 1851

that the Eastern and Northern mailt

Gen. Grant has established mount

rillas who infest some portions Of thu

Home Concert.

The concert by cur home musicians un-
der the direction of Mr.. Grundy, came Of
last Tuesday evening according to pro>
gramme. We had been prepared for a
good thing, but the performance far sur
passed our expectations. We find that we
have here at home an amount of musical
talent which needs only cultivating to
place ourselves in the front ranks of must
cal communities.
The chOruses were all excellent, but we
were especially pleased with away away
the morning freshly breaking" which was
given with great spirit and effect. OF the
songs with chOruses We were delighted
with both the music and the delivery Of
''The Battle of Fort DonelsoD, !" and Brave
Boys are they" and others perhaps were
not inferior. Mr.. Blackman's song 1.-THE
Mountaineer" was capitally delivered, and
if We take this performance as an index of
what he can do in the musical line, we
predict for him successful and brilliant
career. The quartettes by the German
Giee Club we're among the most marked
performances of the evening. Their music
was Of high order, and the exquisite har-
mony Of their voices showed fine appre-
citation of their music and the most perS
severiDg practice. The Joliet Band con-
tributed their full share to the pleasure of
the occasion, and the Anvil chorus espe.
cially was giver in very good style. We
are proud of the band, and we hope to
hear their music more freq uent than here
t0fore.
The whole management of the affair and
the general arrangement of the different
parts, as well as the evidence Of thorough
and systamatic drill on the part Of the
singers, reflects great credit on Mr.. Gruudy
the conductor, and we trust at no distant
day he will repeat his performance.

The soldiers Fund.

Notwithstanding the munifcent amount

tions continue to come in, and it has been
decided not to publish the lit Of subscri.

scribe may do so. 1t is desired, and CON.
tidenuy expected, that the fund may be in,
creased to q full one hundred thousand
dollars. the sum Of which Governor Rich.
ard Yates, BY bis tyranny, deprived the
soldiers.
This fund is under the control Of the
Democratic State Committee, aud will be
expended under their supervision, and not
by Gov. Yates or the Union Leagues. Let
the democracy of every city and county
take hold of che matter, aud see if the

subscriptions should be forwarded TO Gov.
