York campaign last fall. Major General Cash

as he was pleased to recommend in the case
of Governor Seymour, Lieut.. Governor STAN
ton, of Ohio, is on hand with propositions of a
similar character. In a recent speech at
Bellefontaine, this Stanton made use of the
following language. speaking of Ms. Vallan-
digham and the GubernatoTial campaign of
the present year: : sd
7 do not know whether Mr.. ValIandinghim will
be the nominee of the Domecratic party of Ohio
for Governor; but if ne be nominated and should
by party machinery be elected, mark ye, Ohio
shall never be represented in the Gubernaterial
chair by a traitor. .E 75aaH fu.
Our readers will notaeeuse us of a partialf-
ty for Mr.. Vallandigham or his doctrines,
when We suggestIthat this language is simply
Linfam Gus. Who made Lieutenant Governor
Stanton the arbiter as to- thestrcason or loyak
Etyf of any citizen, or authorized him to ever
rule in advance any decision which the people
of Ohio, in. the legal manner; may make at
the polls?I We note this as another: i%llustra-

Who is fhe Traitor :

A8144c fEXz
Tho Republicans denonnce Vallandigham
as a traitor, and eulogize Bingham as a patriot.
They are both Representatives from Ohio,
both have been making campaign speeches in
Now Hampshire and Connecticut for their re-
spectise parties, and, during the late session Of
Congress, they. gave expression to their hon,
est sentiments as follows
Mr.. V~allandigham said ait is in the res
~toration of-the Union as it was in 1889 and
continued for over seventy years, thatzI am
bound to the last hour of my political exist
ence."
Mr.. Bingham said qawho, in the nam Of
God, wants the Cotton States, or any other
State this side OF perdition, to- remain in the
Union if slavery is to continue 2"
Which is the traitor? Pray, Mr.. Times,
hunt up your political advisers and give us an
honest answer in your next issue. No dodg-
ing no equiyocation tell us plainly, are you
in favor of the restorationI Of the Union as it
was, or do you say with Dir. Bingham, abolish
slarery,,Gor destroy the UNION? Come up TO
the rack, JEFF. ~ III ~.

who mre They ?

We understand that Mr. Stanton saidy in
his speech here on Sunday night that there
was a ragged rabble in the North, who .were
fit for nothing but food for powder; and there
fore he. was in favor of Genscription-'a7. r I $
Who are the men, and where do they live,
who are only fit for powder? Did ever man
speak so before, Of those whom he expected to
fight his, battles Did ever man speak SO OF
those to whom was eenfded the sacred cause
of Free Governments Or is, ie DIR. Stanton's
view of the Consumption, that it is emily de-
signed to kill off such Of our citizens as are
fit food for powder, wholly irrespective, of the
defence Of the Government How many Of
our citizens are there WHO ou- hit to be killed ?
We never heard q remark from any speaker
which SO imperatively demanded explanation
