Some Earnest Words to Our Ohio
Readers,


of Representatives, it received q vote of l50
10 favor to fve against 1t. Tho LANES OF
those five members who voted against our
paying our brave troops are:
Clement l.. vallandigbam. of Ohio, an
exile now in Canals, having been expatriated
for completely with the enemy.
Benjamin Wood of New York. nov edit.
ing rank copperhead newspaper. who re-
Gently tried to send a package of bis sboet
across tho lines. on which was written "To
the soldiers of the @. S. A. with compli.
ments of Ben. Wood" which package was
seized aud destroyed by our police officers.
H. G. Burnett, of Kentucky, expelled
/ from the House Of Representatives for
treason, now in the rebel armv.
Elijah II Norton. of Missouri. who ran
away from his home, and is now in the reb-
oil army.
John W. Reid, Of Missouri. exp elled from
the House of Representatives for treason,
and now, or rocontly, in tho rebel army.
These we're the "infamous five" who vo.
ted against paying a dollar to the gallant
men who are defending the nation at the
hazard of their lives /; and, strange to tell
the first named of this number is now the
'conservativo" Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio. Soldiers Of o ho, will
you vote for him ? Citizens OF Onio, will
you choose him for your ruler
| All. is it not strange that a convention
which met tow weeks ago in tho great
| State OF Ohio. should have dared TO nom.
nate such candidate for Governor, and
have furnished us u roason Tor asking such
"a question lie the representative of free
| speech Why, who desires that free speech
| should be FREQ to tho man who opposed the
payment of the Union soldiers, in company
mob leader, Norton and Reid : lio does
not doserve to breathe, far less to speak aud
act his impudon, treason in the faco of the
nation. Nay, let him 1.-Two and diu in exile,
dishonored and detested by his countrymeu.
Ah, but says one, Mr.. ,VaIandig CHAM is u
thorough Uuon man for all that. . ......
Let us try him thon bv his own record and
SEQ tho nature of his Unonism. Let the
re .1or turn to the Vallandigham record in
the Congressional Globo of February 7tb.
ls6l-pago 70l-and ho will find that c. j.
VallandIgham introduced into the House of
Representatives joint resolution proposing
amendments to tho Constitution. and in
that proposed to amend article XIII, by
partitioning tho Uuion into four sections as
follows =. .... ... ., .r.'t
The States of Maine. New Hampshire
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
Donneo,ica,, Connecticut, New York: New Jersey and
shall constitute one section
20 he known as tho west
The States of Oregon and California
shall constitute anoth-
or section to be called tho Pacific ,r,...
The States Of Delaware, Maryland. Vir.
ginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Fiori-
da. Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi Texas.
Arkansas, Tennessee. Kentucky and Mis-
shall constitute another section to bo known
as the South.
Why tho slaveocraoy do no, go far enough
for Vallandigham in the work of disuniop.
They propose to divide the Union into two
sections, whilst he advocates its division in
to four confedcraciee. He is Automatically
and literally twice as much of disunionist
and separationist as J eff. Davis. Vallandig-
ham has no hope or belief in the possibil.
ty OF Union, even if he desires Il. Read tho
following letter:
DAYTON, Ohio, April 20, 1861.
