SrrrrMnrn ~, 1863.


Advertiser Of the 18th inst, appeared an
article purporting to be from II. X. TtTuS
our would-bo-represcnta,ive, in answer
toan article headed "Won't Vote Val.
lsndigham," in IA, issu, Of the TRIBUNE
OF the nth instant.
Tie author Of that article, docs not
seem to be as well posted with regard to
Mr.. Tires position ashc would make us
believe, previous to the nomination Of
Mr. Vallandigham, Mr.. Tlrvs was
good Union man, assisting the soldiers in
many ways, and advocating vigorous
prosecution of the war; ms many Of his
citizens of Pleasant township will
uttcst.
Aud there arc those in this township
personal friends of Mr.. Tirus, too, who
have heard him make remarks in convcr-
satiou as follows:
lat. That il was the worst tling the
Democratic purty could have done -
nominate Vallandighain for Governor, md
that it would break up the Democratic
party.
3D. That il the Democratic party per.
sisted in the name of Mr.. Vallandigham
lboforelthc convention, ho, for ono was not
a delegate. ......
3. That he could not approve of Val
lundigham's doctrine entirely; hut says
he TO his friend with whom he was in
conversation ut the time, "Who shall
lvoyc for - -..
Mr.. TITUs may have been sincere when
he made the above remarks, and il he was,
why is il not stated over his endorsements
that bc " cannot be driven by party ties
or any other ties 10 vote for Vallundig-
ham," f.
The first time Mr.. TITus was before
the people for Representative, tho vote
of this township was largely in his favor,
but his attempt TO please his personal
friends, who are opposed to him in poll
ties, and who gave him their unanimous
support formerly has "knocked all the
Union pins from under him" in this sec
ton. Ii Mr.. TITus really believed that
avigorous prosecution Of the war" was
necessary to put down the rebellion, why
. didhe suffer his name to go on a ticket
headed by the name Of man, who has
made every effort, and used oil the means
in his power TO embarross and thwart al
steps and measures which the admins
truton have taken TO put down this re-
beIlion, and all under tho plea OF con-
stitutionali.y."'
The following language is found in Mr..
Trrus' endorsement" " do not know
from what authority il from any, the wri.
ter OF the above article learned that was
one Of the class vi men he referred to,
aud that will not vote for Vallandig- |
ham, have not said so, or any thing from
which it could be inferred at any time to
en- thought So" Well, Mr.. Editor l do not
know how the writer of the article allu.
ded to in the above gained his informa-
ton nor from what authority; but will
leave it to any candid man, who hear ing
Mr.. TITUs or any other man express
himself as Mr.. TITus has, and as men !
toned in this communication, how he can
draw any other inference than the fol-
lowing: g That MIR. TITUs is opposed to
Mr.. yallandighsm's doctrine" 1t is my
or inion that Mr.. TITUs took this course
in order to retain the political support of
his personal friends, and in fact, he par
tally succeeded, and many of the return
cd soldiers would have voted for him; but
the course he pursued at the election of
field officers for the 81 Regiment o. V.
NJ, completely turned the tide against
him. |
But, will Mr., TIrus vote for Vallan-
digham ! He certainly will, il alive, and
able TO get to the polls. II is my honest
opinion, and not only mine, but OF many
Others, that Mr.. TIrUs would supper, any
man that Lang, Noble, Armstrong g. Co.
supported, (et his acts be what they
would) as long as they appeared under
the banner of the" Democratic" partly
The Advertiser has INDUCED in somo
villifying and Safeguarding cpithcts con-
concerning Mr.. WELxER the Union nom
inee for representative. Ifthe Adv,rfi-
ser or its supporters wish TO test the ca
pabillty of the two candidates for the Of
fce Of Representatives let them bring
their man out ard let him toll publicly
what his opinions are and discuss the
questions at issue. But they dare not
do it. Let any person approach Dir. II.
rUs and speak in favor of tho conscrip-
tion act or any act of the Administration
he will not take decided positi on, but
simply remark eyes yes f" " just So"
To be frank and candid, would say,
that had Mr.. TITUS examined the col.
umns of the Congressional Globe of the
last Congress, do not think he would
have endorsed the article written by the
man in tho Court House, in the Aduerii-
ser of the 18th instant. CITIzEs.
