The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1863-10-07

Friends, upon this evidence, from their own
witnesses, we submit the case to the verdict of
the people.
Since the above was written, the Fellow that
swore before a jury of his country that he was
a common liar and slanderer, finding that for
once he had told the truth, when his attention
was called to the article ran Immediately to his
Office and substituted another article in its
place upon an entirely different subject. He
did not change the article we print above; he
did not claim that V~allandigham had said or
written other than he had published, because
he knew that that was precisely what Vallan-
digham did write, and he was only troubled
in that By mistake he had once published the
truth concerning the exile statesman.

tional extract from Vallandigham's letter
which is as follows:

of your fathers, and as you would secure the
blessing of liberty 70 yourselves and to your
children, 1 invoke you to defend the right of

the exigencieI of the case may demand. The
hour of your trial has at last come. BE firm and
be ready. And God grant that the spirit of the
patriots and the freemen ofother ages and coun-

spirit of Bruce and Tell, Of Hampden and sgd
