Mr.. VALLANDIeHAM bas issued an address to
the Democracy of our State from Canada, ac-
cepti2g the nomination for Governor, and def
ming his position. He regards the bogus Con
eracy as an established government and when
referring to it speaks of "The Confederate
States, - the identical term by which jeff Da-
Wis designates his confederation of traitors and
thieves, Mr. Vallandigham' plan of proceed
inps Is .sto withdraw our invading armies and
then proceed to ''consider and discuss the ques-
tion of reunion A cotemporary thus shows
up this extraordinary proposition to with
draw our invading armies made by a man
who aspires to the position of Governor of the
great State of Ohio:
" Mr.. Vallandigham's proposition is that
the war shall cease and the invading armies be
Withdrawn, that the question of unien may be
considered. This has practical meaning
What is it? The stoppage of the war and
the wit hdIawal of our armies means, that all
the territory claimed as in the Southern Con-
federacy shall be evacuated by our armed for
ces. 1t is claimed that Missouri and Kentucky
are Confederate States. They are represented
| in the Confederate Congress. So we must, if
we follow Mr.. Vallandigham's programme,
give up to the euemy, who assures US that
| Cincinnati would burn WE'LL the very Ken
lucky hills that command the city. We must
give up Missouri, now as much State of the
| Union as Ohio. We must evacuate the whole
of West and Middle Tennessee, and the Mis-
sissipei River below the mouth of the Ohio,
/ and yield fhs rebels one shore of the river as
far north as the s0Htbern boundary of the State
of Iowa. The Tortugas and Key West, with
the great forts which are the keys to the Gulf.
we mus; turn over to the State of Florida
We must abandon all positions held on the
Atlantic coast from Feruandina to Fortress
Monroe, including. Of course, the latter. We
must evacuate every part of the "sacred soir'
of Virginia, including Arlington Hights, that
comma nd the city of Washington. We must
give the secessionists perfect freedom to mob
tie States of Maryland and Delaware out of
the Union. Western Virginia of course, we
must give up, as part of old Virginia. So
we are called upon to strike the Stars and
Stripes to the rebels at Wheeling, Louisville,
Lexmgron, Frankfort, Columbus, KY ST.
Louis Memphis, Nashville, Vicksburg, Port
Hudsou New Orleans, Forts jackson and ST.
| Phillip, the Tortugas, Key West, Pulaski,
Hilton Head Newbern, Hatteras, Norfolk,
Fortress Monroe, and a thousand places Of
inferior note, to say nothing of Washington
| City, and all the cities, forts and arsenals Of
Maryland and Delaware, which letter, if we
were so lost as to surrender the rest, would be
coelced into the Southern Confederacy.-
When we have done this, we would be prepar-
ed to-do what? Why negotiate And then
we would hear Mr.. Vallandighams "argu-
ment' for the restoration of the Union. And
the burden of that, we know from his speeches
in Congress, would be that the people of the
North would submit to the rule of the South
ern aristocracy over the whole country, estab'
lish the slave code in all the Territories, and
suppress, 10 the North, all that masters
would be pleased to call abolitionism.-
The mind of man never before conceived any
thing SO atrocious, so absurd and nakedly fool
ish.
