Few Earnest Words To Our Ohio
Readers

put upon its final passage in the Uni
ted States House of Representatives,
it received Il vote of l50 in favor to
five who voted against it. The names
of those five who voted against paying
our brave troops are :
Clement l.. Vallmdigham, Of Ohio
an exile now in Canada, having been
eXpatriated for completely with the
enemy.
Benjamin Wood, of New York, now
editing a rank coppcrhcad newspaper
who recently tried to send package
of his sheet across the lines, on which
was written "To the soldiers of the
C. S. A. with compliments of Ben.
Wood" which package was seized
and destroyed by our police officers
II. G. Burnett, of Kentucky, eXpel-
led from the House of Representa-
.tivcs for treason, now in the rebel
army. .....
Elijah H. Norton, of Missouri, WHO
ran away from his home, and is now
in the rebel army.
John w. Reid, of Missouri. cxpell-
ed from the House of Representatives
for treason, and now, or recently in
the rebel army.
These were the ''infnmous five who
voted against paying n dollar to the
gallant men who are defending tho
nation at the hazard of thril lives 4.
and strange to tell. the first named of
this number is now the conservative
Democrat candidate for Governor of
Ohio. Soldiers of Ohio will you vote
for him Citizens Of Ohio, will YOU
choose him for your ruler
All, is it not strange that II conven-
ton which met n few weeks ago in
the great State of Ohio, should have
dared TO nominate such candidate
g, uuNcrnoi, anu may tuu,encu ~
II reason for asking such question.
He the representative of free speech;
Why. who desires thlt free speech
should bc free to the mau who oppos
ed the payment Of the Union soldiers
in company with Burnett, Ben. Wood,
the New York mob leader. Norton
and Reid ? He does not deserve to
breathe, far less 20 speak and act his
impudeut treason in the face Of the
nation. Nay, let him live and die in
exile, dishonorcd and dctestcd by his
countrymen. All, but say9 one, Mr..
Nallandigham is II thorough Union
man for all that.
Let us try him then by his own
record and see the nature Of his Uni
onism. Let the reader turn to the
Nallandigham record in the Congress
sional Globe of February 1th, 1861
page 7Ol--and he will find that G. l..
Nallandigham introduced into the
House of Representatives joint res
olution proposing amendments to the
Constitution, and in that proposed to 4
mend article XIII, by partitioning the
Union into -four sections MS follows
The States of Name, New iIamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New
jersey and Pennsylvania \
shall constitute one
section to be known as the North;
The States Of Ohio, Indiana, Hin.
Disc, Michigan, Wisconsin Minneso
ta,, Iowa AMI Kansas " Il =
u shall constitute another
section TO he known as the West
The States of Oregon and ClliGor-
mia Il shall constitute an,
other section to be called the Pacific
! The States Of Delaware. Maryland
Virginia, North Carolina, Flordn
Georgia, Alabama, MisSis sippi, Tex
as. Arkansas, Tcnncsseo, KcltuckJ
and Missouri Il Il
n Shall constitute another section
to he known aS the South.
Why the slayeocracy do not 90
far enough for Vallaulighlm in thl
work Of disnnion, They propose tC
divide the Union into two sections
whilst he advocates its division into
four confrdcracies. lie is arithmcti
cally and literally twice us much o
adisunionist and separationist MS jeff
Davis Nallandigham has no hops
or Il beiierin the possibility OF UnioI
even if he desires it. Read the fol
lowing letter:
