ginning to end, and will'damage him Sc
riously with many, who, under the in
huence OF partisanism, had determined
to support him. There is nothing new
in the sentiments which he puts fortl
they contain the same treason expressed
far less nttractiyely than he ever ex-
pressed them before. He begins in a
singularly unhappy manner, by a lsu-
dalton Of that perlidious Government
which has, throughout the rebellion,
been fitting out prlyateers to war upon
our ships:
Arrested and confined for three weeks
In the United States n prisoner Of State;
banished thence 20 the Confederate
States, and there held as an alien enemy
aud prisoner Of war, though on parole,
fairly aud honofably dealt with ard
given leave TO depart; an act possible
only By running tho blockade az The
hazard Of being fred upon by ships hy.
ing the Gag OF my WI country, I found
myself fret q free mcn when on British
soil. And to-day, under projection Of
the British flag, ] avn here 10 enjoy and
in part 70 exercise the privileges and
rights which usurpers insolen,ly deny
me at home.
He assails the Administration with all
tho maligniiy and calumny of his co.
laborer, Andrews, the New York mob
leader:
Grateful certainly | am, for tie conf
dence in my integrity and patriotism,
implied by the unanimous nomination as
candidate for Governor of Ohio, which
you gave me while / was yet in the Con-
federate States. II was not misplaced;
IL shall never be abused. But this is the
last Of all considerations in times like
these. ask no personal sympathy for
the personal wrong. No; IL is the cause
Of Constitutional liberty and private
right cruelty outraged beyond example
In a free country, by the President and
bis servants, which gives public signih-
csncy to the action of your convention.
Yours was, indeed, an act of. justice to a
citizen who for his devotion to the rights
of the States and the liberties of the
people, had been marked for destruction
by the hand Of arbitrary power. But IL
was much more, IL was an example of
courage worthy of the heroic ages Of The
world; and II isa spectacle and'a rebuke
TO the usurping tyrants who having bro
ken up the Union would now strike
down the Constitution, subvert your
present government and establish O for
NAL, aud proclaimed ~despotism in its
stead. You are the REsroRHRs AND DE-
FEEDERS OF CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY
and by that proud title history will sa-
Lutte you.
And again
Military orders supersede the Cons,i-
. tuition, and military commissions usurp
the place Of the ordinary courts of JUS
tice in the land. Nor are these mere idle
claims. For two years and more, by
arms, they have been enforced. II was
Che mission of the weak but presumptu-
Gus burnside name infamous forever
In the ears of All lovers of constitutions
liberty-to try the experiment in Ohio
aided by ajudge whom l name not, be-
cause he has brought foul dishonOr upon
the judiciary of my country.
Ho scouts the idea that the Southern
robels can be subdued, Just as the rebels
DO themselves:
For IL this civil war is to terminate
only by the ~subjugation or submission OF
the South 10 force and arms, the infant
of to-day will not live TO see the end OF
A. No, in one other way only can il b.
brought 20 a close. Travelling n thou :
sand miles and more, through nearly one
half OF the Confederate States, and So
J~OurninR for a time at widely different
points, 1 met not oae man, 1oOnaH, or child,
1oho a7as not resolved 10 perish rather than
yield to hsPreSsnye Of arms ereH in the most
desperate extremity. And whatever may
and must be the varying fortune OF war.
In all which | recognize the hand OF
Providence pointing visibly 60 the ulti-
mate issue of this great trial Of the
States and people Of America, Gey an.
better prepared ntw every tuay 10 maIs osod
their memorable purpose than at am period
sincs hs b~egtnniNg Of de struggle. These
may indeed be unwelcOme truths; but
they are addressed only to candid and
honest men. Neither, however, let ms
add, did l meet any one, whatever his
opinions or his station, political or pri.
Vate, who did not declare his readiness
srAen the trar shall have ceased and invadin,
armies been lpikdyaica, to consider anc
discuss the question Of re-union.
Here we are distinctly Informed by
this shameless liar, that there is not
man, woman, or child, who would no
rather perish than be subdued by tn
National arms. This is a most foolisl
falsehOod its absurdity is so great tina
IL hardly can be called q falsehOOd
Look At the secessionists in Tennessee
When the national armies came did they
rush to arms and resolve to die, or die
they take the oath? When tho rebe
Governor Harris called on the State by
all that was holy, for 5000 volunteers
NOD a man responded.
Het Vallandigham tells Q still mor'
stupid lie than this even for he asserts
In the face Of Lees flight back to Yir.
siniA with the loss Of 5000 mon; in the
face Of the capture OF Yicksburg witt
zoo cannon, 10000 muskets, and $1,000
prisoners in the face Of the capture OF

In the presence Of orumbliDg Charleston
