The election Of Mr.. Brough will deepen
the depression and confirm the discontinue
of the South, going far to convert into WO-

On the other hand, the election Of Mr..
Vallandigham will rouse the droopiny spir-
its of the guilty states that have been 80
eGectually crippled Of late. II will revive
in these states great expectations OF di-
version in their favor, and stimulate them
to renewed efforts Of desperation. Sum

exile in the bosom Of his British sympathi-
GERS, seat him in the Clrule chair Of your
etate, let him have the disbursement of the
patronage with which it is richly padded
and, not O doubt Of IL, the usurpers at
Richmond will have good reason to infer

Picture to yourselves the transports Of

persistent champion, who from the outset
Of the war has done everything in his pow
or to to aid the insuFrection, while he has
left no stone unturned that could embar-
rass and incapacitate the national govern
ment, has triumphed in his disaffection
and dislOyalty, becoming invested with
functions that will enable him
all the more boldly, all the more defiantly,
all the more mischieVously, TO resume the
line Of conduct that compelled the national
government to send him beyond our lines,

Nor viii the election Of Mr.. Vallandig-
