The traitor M. +. Marry, now In I
ENGLAND. has addressed along letter
10 the london Times, under date OF
August 18th, in which. he makes an
elaborate attempt to counteract the
effect of the Union successes OF the
month of July. In detailed state
ment, he undertakes to belittle our
victories and exaggerate the rebel
means of defense. Forced to admit
that the tide of war had set seriously |
against the South, he still insists, at
the commencement and close OF his
statement, that "never were the
prospects of the South brighten"
These prospects are attributed to
other causes than the ability of the
rebels to maintain themselves. Mau-
ry says:
"As an offset against the tide OF
military reverses, which in the first
weeks of July ran so strong against
the South, and from which our friends
in England seem not to have recov-
cred. let us look to those agencies
that are to end the war, and inquire
what progress has been made on the
road to peace, and, consequently, an
our faror, notwithstanding these
military TegerSeS."
The friends of the Union at home,
as well as the friends of the rebels in
England, may be interested in know
ing what is this offset against the tide
of military reyerses Maury tells us:
"Other agents have to be called in
play. What are theyg Let us in

the embarrassments with which that
party can surround Mr.. Lincoln, and
all the difficulties it can throw in the
way of the war party in the North,
OPERATE DIRECTLY AS so MUCH AID
AND COMFORT TO THE SOUTH"
But Maury becomes definite and
names the leading agent that has
been called into play, as follows:
"VALLANDIaHAM 1CdSts and 1cGtcbes

Governor of the State Of Ohio-tC

throughout the whole North"
Here we have the "ofset against
the tide of military reverses, which,
in the first weeks of July, ran so
strong against the South" and from
which the rebels friends in England
seem not to have recovered" !" wal
landigham waits and watches over
the border" under the British flag,
and stands "pledged, if elected Gov
ernor of Ohio, to array it against Lin

Suchis the programme agreed upon
when Vallandigham was among the
rebel leaders Of the South. 1t was
sent to their emissaries among the
crowned heads of Europe, and which
free and independent citizens Of
Ohio are now called upon to carry

of the Rome IN. Y. } Sentinel, that i
Vallandigham is elected Governol
