Another Lelter fron vaIIandlsham.

Another Letter from Vallandigham.
The bsnished traitor who is content to
rspOse under the tail Of the British lion,
end thence send forth his yelps at the
American eagle, is proving good deal Of
an elephant to his party. The leaders Of
that party have found his "RecOrd " 3
troublesome one, which gives more aid and
comfort to his political opponents than TO
his friends, while his letters and addresses
have each made votes for the Union cause.
But his pen will not down at their bid
ding. He must write, else be would not
keep up his notoriety. Hence, we find in
the Columbus Statesman, copied from the
Hillsboro Gazette, letter from Vslland-
ighsm to 8 gentleman Of the latter place,
who HEindly consented" that it be made
public. A more mistaken kindness we
never saw exhibited. The letter is so full
OF blaekguardism, absurdity and vain
Curious self-eozceit, as to show its author
il anything but g favorable light FOR
voters 10 leak al He first bellies fact by
rejoicing over the greet success Of the Dem
osrstic meetings and saying thattbe Union
meetings are small and the enthusiasm
still less" He thon utters the elegant and
grammatical expression:
& shoddy, and shoddy's wife and daught-
srs are Of course slways there, and very
much enthused."
Farther on, he uses the dignihed express
sion, " that dirty deg, John Sherman" and
again, speaking of the same honorable
Senator, be says be is q vulgar pettifog
ger" employed "to buEly-rag the other
side" Elegant Language, isn't this, for a
candidate for Governor of OhiO7
Speaking of Charles Anderson, the Un-
ion candidate for Lieutenant Governor, he
says his brain is not very securely an
ehOred in his skull-cap" Such language
beat BELTS thieves, pimps and Five-POinters.
Perhaps be employed it as that which
would be best appreciated by his support
erG.
But the last paragraph Of this letter is
the most fruitful. he profoundly regrets
the divisions in the Democracy of Ohio"
Ofcourss he does, and he will regret it still
more profoundly when he finds how many
Democrats cast their votes for John BrOugh.
But he proceeds to particularize the diVis-
ions, and ssys that " the Democracy" nOmi-
mated him; the "War Democracy nOmi-
mated John Breugh, and athe True Demo-
eraey met ct Cincinnati and issued their
address, few days since. He then cOOlly
says;
HCould not something be done to unite
these factions Of the Democracy, in support
Of tie hekst Of the liza Of Jaae. Why not
The Democracy ought to be one and indi-
visible and think the supports Of the first
ticket nominated DOEId Be a fair eOmPrOm.
Fhss6osts, therefore, Is induce BrOggk to de-
cline ought to bspsrIsVsred ia"
The most charitable presumption, re-
garding the author Of such letter as this,
Is that he was drunk when he wrote it.
he must lave just parted with Pugb, who
has lately visited him, or perhaps they
eonsOotsd it together when both were
seriously indispOsed," as the Plain Deal
or calls it.
By all means, let the Vallandigham pa
ps5 publish this letter. We shall be de.
lighted to have them do it, and if any man
Of common sense, or of common deeency
sud se.f-respect, votes for its author sitter
reading it, let him be labelled and exhibit
ed as one Of the wonders of the world.
