down. and the torch of treason tossed
aloft rs a signal of revolt. Electlng Mr.
Vallandigham, Ohio turns her back on
these brave men, disowns their services,
djscards the victories they have won, sends
them vote of reputation instead OF a
vote of thanks and, IN place OF cheering
them on in their new enterprises, casts
cloud between them and their fame, their
proud memories, their exalted parposes
ana hopes, making them feel they have
poured out their blood in the defeat OF
armed traitors in their front but to encoun-
ter the faithlessness or base lngrautude, or
at best, the equvocal recognition and I'M
poverished praise, of a mutlnous party IN
their rear.
EFFECT IN TIE SOUTH
The election of Mr.. Brough will deepen
the depression and confirm the discomht-
ure of the South, going far to convert INTO
wofulness and blank despair the ecstacles
inspired by the peace meetings and riots
of New York, Iowa, and other places
where copperheads abound, and the ven
ON, as well as the slime, the fangs and the
slippery skin of the reptiles, warn the
community of danger.
On the other hand, the election of Mr..
Vallandigham will rouse the dropping
spirits of the guilty states that have been
so effectually crippled of late. 1t will re-
vive in those states great expectations OF
a diversion in their favor, and stimulate
them to renewed efforts of desperation.
Summon Mr.. Vallandigham from his con
genial exile in the bosom of his British
| svmpathizers, seat him in the Curule chair
of your state, let him have the dlsburse-
ment of the patronage with which II is
richly padded, and, not doubt OF 1t, the
usurpers at Richmond will have good rea-
son to infer that they have reliable friends
at the North, and that President Lincoln
is beset, undermined, hampered and over
borne by swarm of enemies.

the refined and exquisite editors who

Picture to yourselves the transports G

persistent champion, who, from the outse
of the war, nnss done everything IN hi

r has left no stone unturned that could en-
: barrass and incapacitate the Natlon'
