vALLANpIGdAm THE TRAITOR.

TILL 1HAAAokAs |
Vallandigham, the leader Of Northern
disloyalists, has opened his 1ong-threatened
fre-in-the+1ear by stirring up riot at Day
ton. He has been itinerating about the
State, delivering speeches Of the most in
hammatory and seditious description, and |
cgging on his dupes to resistance to the |
laws and rebellion in the loyal State Of |
Ohio
Gen. Burnside recently issued military |
order, forbidding, within his department,
reasonable speeches or demonstrations.
under penalty Of arrest and court-1nartial,
and if found guilty, Of being sent South to
their rebel friends. This order has been
hailed with delight by the loyal masses Of
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Vauandig-
ham, however, resolved to defy it, and set
an example Of his contempt for the order
and the Government by making speech
at Mt Vernon, on the 1st inst, SO violent
. and frantic that Gen. Burnside had no al
ternatiye but to order lis arrest and trial
The Copperhead Times gives this version Of
the charges against Vallandigham, and of
course it puts them in the most favorable
light for the traitor:
The charges agninst Mr. Va11andigham are,
that he (Vallandighaml On or about the lst
day of May, 1868, At Mount Vernon, knoz
county, Ohio, did publicly address i large
meeting Of citizens, saying In words, or lu
effect declaring, that tue present war is sn in
furious, cruel and unnecessary war-aWar not
being waged for the preservation Of the
Union war for the purpose Of crushing out
for the freedom Of the blacks and cuslaying Of
The whites; sta'ing that, II the Admialstra-
ton had SO wiEhcd, the war could hare been
honorably terminated; that peace might
hare been bonorably obtained By listening to
the proposed intermediation Of France: that
proportions by which the Southern States
could be won back, and be guaranteed their
rights under the constitution, were rejected
tie day before the battle Of Fredericksburg
he finally said that Order No. 50 Of Gen
Burnside vas base usurpation Of arbitrary
authority, and that the sooner the people In.
formed the minions Of usnrpated power that
they, will not submit to tuch restrictions, the
better. he declared also bis purpose to defeat
an attempt to build up monarchy upon tho
ruins Of our free Government; that be believed
the men in power we're trying to estsbllsh q
dospotism.
Suppose some Union man at the South
should deliver a speech, making charges
against the rebel Government as violent d
'' those made by Vallandigham against ou'
Government, how long would he live afte1
uttering them1 Only till = hemp cori
could be put around his neck and the othel
end thrown over the limb Of tree. Fo
ssying the thouaandth part as muc1
against JEFF. Davis dynasty, hundreds Q
Union men in the South have forfeited thei
1iyes. But this secession villain has bee
: allowed to spout treason for two years viii
ont molcstaion, until over liberation ha
emboldened him to step beyond all bound
His Confederate friends are hard presse
t1st now by the Union armies; their caus
is desperate, despair is beginning to tax
hold Of them; they cry for help, and th
niscrcant Vallandigham rushes to: the
rescue, and opens fire-in-the-rcar. Il
fires the hearts OF his tory followers, AMI
they hurl the incendiary's torch. tt
dwellings and stores of loyal citizens I
Dayton are burned to the ground. A 10y
newspaper is mobbed, and then destroye
By fire, and the enemies Of the Union ina'
gurate civil war in Ohio. Let the Cope
head dupcs Of the traitor measure theirp
is. NJ arms against the Government and Il
loyal millions, and they will be ground
powder. Neither JEFF. Davis nor Valla
digllam can save them from the destru
tion they invoke.
