yallandighana Rhetoric.

Daniel w. Voorhees,, the Indiana cop
perhead who gust now canvassing Ohio
for vallandigham, is likely to achieve
high reputation as epublic speaker. There
is rhetorical beauty and scholarly finish
about his public efforts which few men of
this day can match, Metaphor, indeed,
appears to be his speciality. In late
speech at Carthage he said:
"When this people govern no longer,
then comes kings and crowns, and sesp'
tres and the ravens Of Office, and that IS
not my government, and 1 shall never owe
it allegiance ~
Here is delightful blending of SYM
bols; but the generous speaker had still
better things in store. Drawing a line
between those who do and those who do
not like yallandigham he said:
''But thieves that steal-land sharks,
reaping where they had not sowu, and
gathering where they had not streSn-
they do not like Vallandigham."
What is chiefly admirable here Is not
so much the truth of the explosives as the
fitness of the zoology. All the world
knows that thieves do steal in fact, that
$ generally supposed to be their special
business; but sharks which reap, particu-
larry where they have not sown, are an
addition to cur stock of knowledge, ana
ought to have been reported to the late
annual meeting of the British Associa-
ton, Yet Voorhees, has Disco ered other
no less surprising facts of natural history
Hear him: ~ T.as ~ "
"Whenever you find man to-day that
is trying to change the source Of authority,
the great river of sovereignty, from the
hands of the many-of the powerful
many-to the few at Washington, that
man is traitor"
That man who can deliberately put
himself in the way of "the great river of
sovereignty" which river is held in the
peoples hands, is traitor, hardly needed
to be affirmed by Mr.. Voorhees,, for we
cannot conceive that such monster can
be anything else.
But the climax of the Vallandigham
rhetoric is reached when the orator de-
clared his religious behalf:
81 propose here to-day before the yeo-
many of Hamilton, to announce my faith
and belief in the old Bible and the old
constitution. Loud Cheers | am il
favor of the ancient law and the great Je
hovah Lord God, interchangeable forever. }
We cannot wonder that the people
stcheered' at this. That a man of Vor
hee's antecedents, possessing talents so ex
allied and,a purity of character SO vastly
above reproach, should declare his belief
in the Bible, and his determination Il
support an interchangeable" Providence, i
a triumph for the truth over which all men
except "sharks who reap where they have
not sown." must rejoice. His complacen
and magnanimoHs patronage, too, OF VIVA
he calls Jehovah Lord God" will doubt
less be gratefully appreciated in higf
quarters. N Y. Post.

REBEL OPINION OF CoPPERHEADs.-
On the recent occasion of John Morgan's
raid into Indiana, the voice of the Peace
Democracy" was emphatically for war
None held back debating whether it would
be constitutional to shoot at a rebel in In
diana, whatever it might be in Virginia.
Copperheads have horses and milk houses
to defend, aud bitter experience has taught
them that the ungratefu rebel jayhawks
treat all alike. The guerrilas did not
attempt to disguise the contempt they felt
for their cowardly halfway friends. 1t.
Adams of Morgan's band, with a squad,
after burning bridge north of Salem
went to a Quaker farmers house hard by,
and asked for some milk. The friend de-
murey accompanied the Lieutenant to the
spring house and told him to help
himself and men. While drinking the
milk, the following conversation oc-

- Look over the speeches and writings
of Gov. Seymour since the war began, and
find if you can single instance in which
he speaks of the southern leaders who are
making war upon the government as
'srebels" or 'straitors." He has always
been mealy-mouthed in speaking of them,
while he has been bitter and denunciatory
in his Examinations against our own loyal
government.

OF the official retlrns, from which it will be
observed that the official majority of Gov.
Curtin is 1895. and that of Daniel Agnew,

on the home vote. Had the soldiers in the
held been permitted to vote the majority or
our candidates would reach IS, 600 or 100 ,0OO
but they were disfranchised by Democratic
Supreme Court, who regard the brave veter-
ans good enough to fight. but refuse them a
voice in the election of their ruers Altho
the majority is not as large as some expected,
ye' it is large enorgh for all practical pur-
poses.
Both Houses of the Legislature present also
Union majorites, which will enable the friends
OF the Union to make an honest apportion-
ment of the State and elect a Uuion State
Treasurer. The victory is complete.
