The Toledo Blade has late information rela-
tive to the alleged withdrawal of Vallandig-
ham, and says the rumor is that proposal is
to be presented him, requiring pledge that
in case of his election, he will cooperate full
ly with the Federal Government in the sup
port Of its war measures, and that he is to
have the choice Of signing it or giving place
to some man who will make that pledge.
owe have" says the Blaze, 'evidencc which
satisfies us that the report is correct, and
that the movement is led by men on the tick
ct with Vallandigham, who were among the
most prominent in securing his nomination,
and who could not have got the places they
now occupy but for their support of HIM"
NJ. d. POTTER, ESD, proprietor of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, a paper of excellent re-
pute in the West, has been spending a few
days in Wisconsin, and, in reply to inquiries
made, stated that VALLANDIGHAM will be beat
en- by from $4,000 to 100, 900 votes, including
the soldiers vote. He says the loyal people
are thoroughly aroused to the Importance of
the contest, and are determined that Ohio
shall never be disgraced by the stigma of
electing c. L. VALLANDIGHAM to the Guberna-
torial chair of that free State They mean
to beat him so that ne will never be heard
from again. They are indignant that such a
man should presume to run for so high DO
sition, or, in fact for any other at their dis
posal. If Ohio will do as he guarantees she
will, the free hearts of this country will gIo-
rify her forever.

York papers from Washington, have been
trying, during the last week, to get up a scare
by announcing the arrival of great number
of distinguished characters, Governors of
States, &C., in that city. Among the marvel
Gus arrivals we notice the name of Governor
RANDALL, of Wisconsin. We presume he is
there attending to his duties as Assistant
Postmaster General. We presume, also, that
Governor FARWELL will soon return to Wash
ington, to resume his duties in the Patent Of
fee, after a brief visit to his family. We
have understood that three ex-Governors otW is
consin spent part of the past winter in Wash
ington, together, and it is intimated that they
were often seen in close conference. Can't
the New York reporters make something out
Of this ? Smart fellows, these

groes to go to the field and do the fighting.
