villainy becomes moro transparent, it
is our intentions to ventilate their ras-
cally transactions. aef
We understand that some ofthe old.
est and mostscrupdlous eopperhead pol
iticians Of the country, are connected
with this diabolical scheme to over
come the power ofthe ballot-box. Cir
cumstances have been disclosed to us
which lead our minds irresistibly to the
conclusion that the late pfotracted visit
Of Voorhees, and other men Of his ilk,
from Indiana, and citizen, ,Sammeda-
ry, the great Ohio copper -bottomcd
martyr Of the 'Crisis," and other Ohio
rebel sympathiz9p, 4 Vallandigham
in Canada, and to New York had ref
ercnce to this damnable scheme of col
onization, and proposed uprising of
secretly organized copperheads in the
| North western States to resist the draft,
and through the terrorsl ofcitil war, to
overthrow the Lincoln ADMINISTRATION
and destroy the Government,
On the material points Of, the foul
plot we have exposed, our information
tis derived from Il man Of reliability,
who professes and is believed by cop
pcrhcads to be zone Of them lie is
member Of the organization, meets with
them, takes part in the proceedings and
tbas duties assigned to him in the exc
tcution Of the scheme. A part Of tho
\ programme is to throw a sufficient
force illegal vote c2son election day in
to such townships as have coppcrhead
Trustees, or where the Union element
! is weakest, to take possession of the
! polls and stuff the ballot-box, as was
done by the border rullians in Kan
sas. '-.. ~ ii'
! We expose this hcll-bora scheme in
season, and call upon the friends ofthe
\ Union every where IN Ohio and Indi-
ANA, to organize without delay, and pre-
pare for the conflict. Let a line of I'm
ion picket guards and vedettes be
established atonce along the State line,
from the river TO the northwest corner
Of Ohio. Let every man who crosses,
under circumstances in any degree sus-
p cious, be spotted" and pursued,-
I Let there be chosen men placed at
every railroad station, to take a note of
strangers who stop. Let there be am
pie committees Of vigilance, of picked
men in; every township and ward, to
look after every new conner, until the
election is over. Let the Union
Leagues be well prepared to defend the
sanctity Of the ballot -box--to defend it
to tie death, if necessary--if it be thus
assailed. While our brave soldier boys
arc in the field, meeting death in every
form-falling like leaves in wintry
weather--in defence Of our free institu-
tons, let it not be written in history
, that there was not patriotism and cour-
age enough left behind to guard the
ballot-boX, against desperate charge
male upon it byt rebels in the rear.
| Let the friends of the Union every
where take warning, and prepare!
Prepare H0pi Let not n day. be lost |!

strong support For VaIIandighHfn.

We are informed by many of the Of.
ieers who were engaged in the persuit
of Morgan's forces, that during the pro-
gress of the rebels through Ohio many
of the prisoners captured they refused
to release until they promised to vote
for VaIlandigham in the coming cleo
ton Several of them who refused to
give the required pledge, they compel
led to accompany them for miles and
miles, until in desperation the promise
was at length eXtorted. This is pretty
conclusive evidence that Vallandig-
ham, s merits are at least appreciated by
the horse thieves and murderers com
prising a portion Of the Southern chiv-
airy, in favor of whom his sympathies
are 50 largely drawn orlt. / Coshoeton

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.
WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CIVIL WAR!

A Complete VIndication of tho North by
the Vice President Of the Confeticracy
of KidnaIpers. ..... .- /
We furnish the following extract
from afspcoch of Alexander II. Steph-
ems, in the Convention that took Gcor-
gia out of the Union, january, 1861
This speech of Vice President Stephens
cffectually silenees the Democratic al
lies of kidnappers and traitors. The
great argument used by them in the
North is that the North had invaded
tho rights OF the South. Stephens
brands them all as liars lie charges
thecivil war, with all its horrors, sole
ly on the South. On the floor of the
Convention called to vote Georgia out
of tho Union ho declared: .....
"That this step once taken, could
mover be recalled ;sand all the baneful
and whitening consequences that must
follow, Gas they would see, will rest on
the Convention for all coming time
When we and our postority shall sec our
lovely South desolated by the demon of
war which this act of yours will incvit-
ably invite and call forth; when our
green fields OF waving harvcsts shall be
trodden down by tho murderous sold
iery and fiery car of war sweeping all
over our land our temples of Justice
laid in ashes; all the horrors and desc
lations Of war upon us; who but this
Convention will be held responsible for
it? and who but him who shall have
given his vote for this unwise and i'll
timed measure, (asl honestly think and
believe shall be held to strict account
for this suicidal act, by the present gen
GRAFTON, and probably cursed aud exc
Grated by posterity for all coming time,
for the wide and desolating ruin that
will follow this act you now propose to
pcrpetrate? e.4 l ..r# .....

have been entirely cut off from this
most essential branch Of Government.
"Leaving out of view for the present,
the countless millions of dollars You
must expcnd in a war with the North !;
with tens of thousands Of your sons and
brothers slain in battle, and offered up
as sacrifices upon the alter Of your am
bition,--and for what, we ask again :?
Is it for the overthrow ofthe American
government, established by our COM
mon ancestry, cementcd and built up
by their sweat and blood, and founded
on the broad principles Of Right, Jus
tice and Humanity? And as such, I
must declare here, as / have often done
before, and which has been repeated by
the greatest and wiscst statesmen and
patriot in this and other lands, that
it is the best and freest gOrrnment-tte
most equal in its rights-tbe most just
in its decisiOnS-the most lenient IN its
measures, and the most inspiring in its
principles to elerdte the race Of men, that
the Smn Of hearen ercr shone upOn.
"Now, for you to attempt to over
throw such n government as this, un-
der which we have lived for more than
threc-quarters ola century-in which
we have gained our wealth, our stand
ing as a nation, our domestic safety
while the elements of peril are around
us, with peace and tranquility accom-
panied with unbounded prosperity and
right unassailed--is the height ofmad-
ness, folly and wicliedness, to which |
can neither lend my sanction nor my
vote" ..
This is full vindication of the
friends of freedom and supporters ofthe
Union in the North. No Democratic
traitor dares to meet the facts stated by
Stephens. This speech should be read
by every freeman in the North, wheth-
or Democrat, Republican, or Abolition
ist. 1t forever settles the question that
the South was the aggresor and that
the North acted in sell-dcfense. 1t was
after this speech was made that Ste
phens was bought up by the offer of
the Vice Presidency Of the Southern
Confodcracy.

mentary and truthful notice of Colonel
Peter Turney. Col. I. has been with
his friends here several days, and is
pretty well recovered from his wound.
His speech is much injured, which is
surely to be greatly regretted, for he
had cause to be proud of his voice,
which has so often poured forth its ell.
oquence at the bar and on the stump.

A Curious Law.

The militia law of tho State Of Mississippi,
we learn, does not exempt those connected
with the press. This is, to our mind, 10 say
the least, q Curious law, for in the event news
papers are abolished, what are the people to do
for vehicles for the transmission of intelligence
which vitaily concerns them! How are the
achievements OF the heroic soldiery 10 be-
chrOaicled? And if this be a good law, sup
pose it were enacted in all the States, what
then would DO the result? To say nothing OF
the perfect wreck it would make of the doc
trine of FREQ speech in the South, it would hand
over TO the Yankees the entire business of
making history for p~osterity so far rs this
struggle ia concerned. Deprived Of the cheap
and most accessible sources of information,
children would grow up in ignorance, and
tue next generation would therefore be incom-
poscnt either to appreciate or perpetuato the
boon Of independence received at our hands.
II would Dc TO deprive, at one fell swoOp, our
people Of their daily Intellectual food, and this,
too, without any compensating advantages
For our part, We have little wish 10 survive the
freedom Of speech and Of the press, no matter
undsr what guise it may come.

The Condition of the Trans. Mississippi

The MiSsisSippidR saws 1t seems from our tel
egrams this morning that communication is not en-
trey cut off from the Trans Mississippi by the Fed
eral occupation of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. The
report Of the defeat of General Banks with the loss
of six thousand men, is quite cheering if true. Re-
ports from that region however must be taken with
many grains Of allowance. We all remember even
when VickSburg and Port Hudson belonged to US
how difficult it was to get the truth Yet there is
nothing improbable impossible in the report that
the gallant Dick Taylor has been too much for the
Union Slider. We sincerely hope that the report
is true and that it only the precursor of still more
brilliant and decisive victories
We believe in the invincibility fthe Trans-Miss-
issippi veterans. Cut off from all hope of succor
by the balance of the Confederacy, they know now
that they have to depend upon themselves alone
and whena people fully understand this fact they
apt to go to work in earnest 1t has been the bane
ton, &c, and until our whole people, like the Tex
ianS, Louisanians, MisSourians learn to look only
TO God and their strong arms for deverance, they
will not be wrought up to that Spartan herOsm and
endurance which is necessary to secure their inde
pendence.
If the Trans Mississippi people could only get rid
of he imbecile Holmes, we should have strong
hopes of glorious achievements by them. With an
army Of sixty thousand already in the field, and
The capacity of swelling it up to hundred thou
sand, guided by competent leader, they can bid
defiance to three hundred thousand ofLinconS hire
lings. The Trans Mississippi, is an empire within
itsylf supplying an abundance of subsistence for
. its army and people. 1t will make proud record
FOR itself
