The Case squareIy Presented.

Those who fail to read and closely
consider the following, will have the
misfortune to have neglected one of
the most remarkable differences of
these eventful times:
From the Mobile Register.
1--WE thank God from the depths OF our
hearts that the authorities at Washington
snubbed Vice. President Stephens, in his
late attempts to confer with them on inter.
national affairs, without form or ceremony.
1t has long been known here that this gen.
tlemen thought, if be could get to whisper
into the ears OF some men about Washing
ton, the result might be terms Of peace on
some sort of union or recorist' uctIo's. lie
seemed to forget that Douglas, with whom
he used to serve, is dead, and notwthstand>
ing his mantle has fallen, by dividing 1t into
four pieces upon Richardson and Voorhees,,
VallandIgham and Pugh, still the Democrat
ic party IS not in power now, and we may
thank God for it. The prospect looked
gloomly to the Vice. President, whose
infrmity of body no doubt casts shadow
over his spirits, and he said that one OF two
things must be done: either some terms mnst
be made, or the whole militia OF the Con>
federacy must be called out and an immedi
ate alliance proposed with foreign powers.
President Davis gave him full posoer to treat
on honorable terms, and started him off to the
Kingdom OF Abraham. But Father Abra
ham told him there was an impossible gulf
between them, and the Vice. President had
to steam back to Richmond, little top
fallen. We hope this will put stop toreuer
to some croakers about here who intimate
that there are people enough friendly to the
South, in the North, to~restore the Union
as it was. And we also hope the govern
ment at Richmond will not humiliate itself
sny more, but from this time will look only
to the one end Of final and substantial inde-
rendeace. The North is not less set on a
purpose OF final separation than we are
The Republican party are not fighting to re
store the Union, any more than the old
Romans fought to establish the independence
of the countries they invaded. The Re-
publicans are fighting for conquest and do
minion we tor liberty and independence.
"There is only one party in the North
who want this Union restored, but thay
have no more power,--legislative, or judicial,
than the paper we write on. 1t IS true
they make show of Union and strength,
but they have no voice of authority. We
know that the Vallandigham school wants
the Union restored for he told us so when
here in exile, partaking of such hospitality
as we extended to real enemy to out strug'
gle for separation, banshed to our soil by
another enemy who is practically more our
friends than he. And if Vallandighan
should, by accident or other cause, become
Governor of Ohio, We hope Lincoln will
keep his nerves to the proper tension, and
not allow him to enter the confines Of the
State. His administration would do more to
restore the old Union than any other power
in Ohio could do, and therefore we pray
that he may he defeated. Should strong
Union party spring up in Ohio, the third
State in the North in political Importance,
it might find faint response in some south>
ern States, and give us trouble. But, as
long as the Republicans hold power, they
will think OF conquest and dominion only,
and we, on the other hand will come up in
sol lid column for freedom and independence,
which we will be certain to achieve, with
such assistance as we may no,o (atter the
refusal OF the Washington Cabinet to con-
fer) confidently expect, before the Demo
Gratis Of the North get in power again, and
come whispering in our ears, Union, recon
shuction, CONCESSION, and guarantees.' Away
with all such stuff We want separation. -
Give us rather men like Thadeus Stevens,
and Charles Sumner. They curse the old
Union and despise ii, and so do zoe. And we
now promise these gentlemen that, as they
hate the Union and the 'accursed constitu
tion,' let them keep down Vallandigham and
his party in the North; then they shall new
er be troubled by US with such ,ohintng
about the constitution and Union as they
are sending up"
After reading the foregoing, which
it is hoped every votor in Ohio will
have the opportunity of doing, it is
scarcely necessary to ask that it will
be very maturely considered. The
fear Of a restoration Of the Union, is
the ruling passion, the key to the ac-
ton of the radical elements both North
and South. At the South they are as
much opposed to Mr.. Vallandigham's
election as at the North. We must
have disunion-6nal, irrcmcdiable sep
eration-is the demand Of both wings.
1t is felt, keenly felt, in the South,
that the election of Vallandigham
would be Gas fire bell In the night"
to all their hopes of separate national
existence; that it would be the key
note of reunion South as we'll as North.
They both hope that in case of his
election, Mr.. Lincoln "will keep him
out of the State Both say, "giye
us men rather like Thad Stevens and
Charles Sumner-"THEY CURSE THF
OLD UNION AND DEsPIsE 1T; so do we.
'Let them KEEP DOWN VALLAN'
DIGHAM AND HIS PARTY IN
THE NORTH"-is the cry, the eff
fort, of ENEMIES OF THE UNION
everywhere!
This other tribute to Mr.. Vallan
Idigham's earnest, holy devotion to tn
Union, should send thrill through
every patriotic vein in the State: ellis
Administration would do more to re-
store the old Union than any power
in Ohio could do, and therefore W,
PRAY that he may be defeated. -
