Goyernment--all ont five members who
voted against, or at least did not vote for
a single measure Of Congress for putting
down the r, bellion. These five mcmor-
able rersous we're Reed aud Norton Of
Missouri, Burnett of Kentucky, Ben.
Wood Of NV York, and--ahd Vallan-
dieham OF Ohiol Three OF them were
from slave States, and aS ,fot the two
from the free SthtSs, Mr.. Wood topped
out lately in the New York riots; and
YOU, the Democrats Of Ohio, propose to
make the other your Governor! Arc you
not ashamed Of yourselves for being thus
imposed upon BY your leadersl All the
Republicans voted for it-all the other
Democrats, ulso-- aud finally three tthc
five had the courage 10 come 10 their
country's support; but Wood you under.
stand him, aud os for Vallondighutni yuh
propose to make him Commander iu-
Chief Of the State of Ohioi What q
poor opinion your leaders assembled al
Columbus must have had Of your patriot
ism and good sense 10 ask you 10 vrtc
for such mani They mistake the pa
triotism of cur people. ] sincerely hope
they will not persuade the Democrats OF
Ohio to vote for convicted traitor.
They tell you that he voted to pay the
soldiers. Whether that be so or not,
when il was attempted TO increase the
soldiers pay to thrtect dollars per month
he voted against it, and when the appro.
priation bill came up he did not vote for
II! Had the Government been in his
control when the rebellion broke out,
where would be the country to-day
Stripped of all historical rcnown, robbed
OF all our national glory, disuniied and
desolated from one end TO the other, the
friends of popular government every
where would be overwhelmed with de-.
spair, and republics would be at an end
But the supremacy Of patriotism saved
our country, and let us all unite az one
party for the single purpose Of banding
the whole republic once more under tn,
same glorious flag, that our children may
have country worth living for! tGrcn
applause.
But you don't like the Administration
Who does not know that every Admin
istration Is liable TO, and actually does
make mistakesl They are, however
but our agents, ox,rc rcising a temporOr,
authority. The people arc the sovcrigns
The Pre- ,ident holds his office but lou
years, and the highest TERN Of Office il
that Of the Senator, who is elected 70
six years. You can, therefore, cofrce
all abuses at short intervals, and all yot
can nsk of them is TO do the best they can
and mortal man cnn do no more. Mrs
said they did not know MIR. Lincoln. II,
was one Of the kindest and honestcst mel
that the world oflords. He cannot be
hold nffcctionnte kindred weeping for on,
who has fallen in his country's drfcns,
without mingling his tears with theirs
The talk about his establishing des
potism is the most ridiculous nonsens
that ever ufll ictcd deludcd man. lie ha
often thought that Mr. Lincoln was al
together too kind for the emergency. II
hoped his Democratic friends would liy
to be ashamed Of oil this violent criticism
and gross personal abuse as unjust an
uRpairiotic. ["That's the idea"
But how much they have 10 say 0bou
arbitrary arrests! They 0rc going /
vote for VallondighuIn because he wa
made victim of arbitrary arrest. Bu
he was legally arrested; and IL the Dem
ocrats vote for one who trds Illegally NJ
rested, let them vote for Charles Andcr
son! IL they must vote Tor one who wa
, illeg lily arrested, why not vote for a 10y
al man of this kind! Mr.. Anderson wa
, most undoubtedly loyal man, and hu
suffered ten thousand times more for I'll
, Union at the hands Of traitors, becnus
he was Union man, than VallandighaI
has suffered for the disloyal of VIII ich h
has been convicted, aud for " hich he
enjoying a sort of elegant banishmen
THIS man was arrested while among hi
friends, gently treated TO the best OF Blu,
, net House fare, duly tried and convicte,
, the finding confirmed by an emineI
, civil Judge, and the sentence of banisl
, men; to Tortugas pronounced, but s
!, modified by our kind-henrted Prcsider
, as to hand him gently over to his friend
' But Mr.. Anderson has none Of your syn
pathy, while Vallandigham must be Go
ernor of Ohio!
Mr.. Sherman hoped that the Dem,
Gratis would become 50 ashamed Of il b.
fore October rolls around, as not to vol
, for C. l.. yallandigham.
