faithlessness and base ingrattude, or,
at best, the cquivocal recognition and
impoverished praise, Of mutinous
party in their rear.
Such, ifI mistake not, are the main
issues of the contest in which you, the
citizens of Ohio, are engaged. There
are however, other important conse-
quences involved.
The election Of Mr.. Brough will
deepen the depression and confirm the
discontinue Of the South, going far to
convcrt'into wofulness and blank des
pair the ecstaccs inspired by the peace
meetings and riots OF New York, Iowa,
and other places where coppcrheads
abound, and the venom, as well as the
slime, the fangs, as well as the slippery
skin Of the reptiles, warn the commu-
nifty Of danger.
On the other hand, the election of
Mr.. Vallandigham willrOuse the droop-

late 1t will revive in those States
great expectations of diversion in
their favor, and stimulate them to re-

exile in the bosom of his British SYM
pathizcrs, seat him in the Curule chair
of your State let him have the disburse-
ment of the patronage with which tits
richly padded, and, not doubt of it,
the usurpcrs at Richmond will have
good reason to infer they have reliable
friends at the North, and that Presi-
dent Lincoln is bcset, undermined,
hampered and overborne by a smarm

The severe, thin features Of Jeff Da-
Wis will dilate and soften with the news.
Another Thanksgiving Day will be

of Feasts and Fasts in which tlro tluctu-
ations ofthe Confederacy from the pen
itential to the hilarious phases OF piety
are commended, as lesson on the
variability of all human affairs, to the
study of an irrcvcrent and headlong
age The sweetest smiles will break
out and play in tropical radiance al
over the neat, round chin, the dainty
lips, the plump and cosy checks of MIR

enchantment of the glad tidings, he
