EbrfoR Tkfbukf :s-f wish to cali the
attention Of your many feadcrs 10 CON
municstion from X. K. TIrts, il. the Ad-
rerfises Of the 18th, an article, sif, which
should bring the blush of shame to the
face Of every honest man who yet udheres
10 the sp-callcd Democratic party, and
cause him TO stop and enquire whittier
he and his party are tending, and what
will be the end Of their present cause.
The traitor conyicits himself Of false
hood and treason, and only shows his
consistency when he closes bis article by
ovowiug his determination to vote for a
convicted traitor for Goyernor Of Ohio.
In the third paragraph Mr.. Trrus says:
" That do not know that Vallandigham
has been opposed to the War;" and in
tho fourth paragraph he says, Vallandig-
ham believing with Douglas that war is
disunion; war is final, eternal separation,
and the surcst means Of preventing recon-
cilittion, reconstruction and reunion, OPP
posed the war. And when war was in.
augurated, and continued for the purposes
as he believed, and subsequent events
have demonstrated, he has refused to be
party to il, he has refused to aid IT,"
There, in the two paragraphs stands out
in bold elief,t proof that Dir. TlrUs is
falsiiier, that vallundghum opposed the
,oar and refused 10 aid IL, and that the
Democratic party arc attempting to
sneak into power under false pretences.
This admission, that Vallundigham OPP
posed the war, refused to be party to it,,
and refused 20 aid il, answers eflectually
all the other special denius of Mr. Titus.
IL Vollandigham opposed the war and
re oluscd TO aid it, he refused to vote
man or dollar to carry il on. lie refus-
ed TO vote pay to the three months vol
untcors. lie opposed the Government
in nll its efforts to put down the rebellion,
all of which Mr.. Titus knows to be the
facts, and ] challenge Mr.. Titus to show
by the record that Vallandighom ever
"did by vote, word, or deed, aid, or offer
TO aid the Government in protecting
Washington, protecting our forts, arsonals
shippings or recovering the State property
from it by the Democratic thieves of the
South. Even in tho days ol Mr..
Buchanan, before Mr.. Lincoln had
been innugurated, he opposed every
measure looking to the safety Of the
Nation, waiting all the time for peace
and unconditional surrender to the re-
bellion, aud in that dark hour of the ma
tons peril, the only measure he proposed
tor her relief was the division of the ma
ton into four sections, the Slave States
one, and dismcmbering the
fee States into thee sections (scc Cong.

Congress.
Mr.. Titus further tells us, that one Of
the reasons why Vallandighnm "opposed
the war and refused to aid il" was that
certain amendments TO the Constitution
were rejected by the party administer
ing the government. The meaning of
which is, that the great crime of tho re-
publican party consists in their adherence,

i, that every remedy proposed by Val.

present troubles has been to change and
'dmper NTH The Constitution, while the
motto of the Republicans, and the Union
