The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-08-15

The notorious Louisville Journal with
an efrontery equal to its stupidity and
treason is trying to sell out the Union
party of Kentucky to Vallandigham.
In reply to a question propounded by the
Cincinnati Gazette, that paper says:
We believe Tie masses of The partv IN
Ohio that support Mr.. Hallandighans for the
GoveyRorship agree in principle scih the
Union party Of Reatuchy Mr.. Vallandig-
ham is VIGOROUSLY the candidate of the
Ohio Democracy, not in consequence of
his peculiar views respecting the war
but in spite of those views. The single
and simple issue raised by his candi-
dateship is the issue of the freedom OF
discussion; and, as we have Just in.
timated, zoe believe the masses aoho, mt
,gtthstdnding his vie,0s concerning he ,oay,
support m on this issue, agree in principle
'oih Tho UnionPartyo Of Kentucky. We, IN
deed, have no doubt of it. Certainly the
Union party Of Kentucky whilst dis
agreeing upon q very important point
with MIR. Vsllandigham, has no a6fliation
With de party in Ohio that supports Mr..
Brou9h.
Every intelligent Unionist will de-
nounce these assertions as impudent
falsehoods. We speak from personal
knowledge when we say that the loyal
men of Kentucky are enthusiastically
in favor of Brough, while all the Wick
liffltes are in favor of Vallandigham.-
The Cincinnati Gazette well remarks:
The late campaign in Kentucky was
conducted upon q distinct issue. One
party was opposed to voting another man
or another dollar TO the further prose-
oution of the war This was called the
Secession party. Another was ia favor
of giving the last man and the last dol.
lar, If necessary, for the suppression of
the rebellion. This was called the
Union party. The latter was success
fnl, and II is therefore TO be concluded
that the great sjority of the people are
in favor of vigorous prosecution of the
war. The Journal supported the Union
party, and it processes to be in favor of
Q vigorous prosecution of the war. In
Ohio, VallAndigham is the candidate of
the Democratic party. He has been OPP
posed to the war from the beginning
He Eever voted . man nor a dol &C for
its prosecution. He is now distinctly
In favor of stopping the war; Withdraw
ing our armies, and compromising with
JEFF. Davis.
This is Mr.. VallAndighAm's own posi-
ton. He does not deny it. On the con-
trary be bOastfully proclsims it, The
party that nominated Me. Vsllandigham
made platform, in which the rebellion is
ignored. No one from reading il would
suspect that rebellion against the Gov
eminent existed. MIR. Pugh, the leader
of the party, said in the Convention that
the war would not be thought about, or
talked about, until the right of a man to
speak againstthe prosecution of the war;
TO denOunce every measure for the sup.
preston of the rebellion and TO enoour-
age open resistance to the an lhOrity Of
the Government, should be vindicAted.
Further than this: Ia all the stump
speeches made in favor OF VallRndigham
Ia Ohio, not one word has been SAID In
favor of prosecuting the war vigorously.
While on the other hand our victories
have been sneered at; II has been denied
that the rebellion Is waning and 1t Is
boldly declared that the suppression OF
the rebellion by force of arms is impos-
sible.
We find nothing, therefore, In the par
ty supporting Mr.. Vsllandigham differ
ent from the principles Avowed by that
gentleman. On the contrary, Mr.. VAL
landigham is the embodiment Of the
principles of the party, aud In him the
platform has been merged. This the
Journal will not find denied by any OF
the leaders of the VAllandighAm party
Whatever reservations some Of the people
may have, the leaders have none. And
yet the Journal claims that the Union
party Of Kentucky, which Is for VigOr-
Gus prosecution OF the war, TO the last
man ana last dollar, answers to the VAL
landigham party Of OHIO, which is open
ly aud boldly In favor Of stopping the
war aud submitting to the rebels J This
glazing and disgusting inconsistency II
strictly in keeping with the past course
Of the Louisville JOurnAl, bat Il Is moi
endorsed but on the contrary Il 10 soout'
ed - and spit upon by the Union people
