Following the Rebel Programme.

No doubt while Vallandigham was
IN the South he was busy with the
leaders of tho rebellion plotting treason
against the Government of the United
States The Chattanooga Rebel, soon
after he arrived, declared che is our
style ofman,' and that "his prospects
for Governor of Ohio are exceedingly
fair. We admire him because from the
start he has been against The war." AT
forwards the Rebel laid down the fol-
lowing programme which Vallandig.
ham has followed to the letter.
"Vallandighom should be shipped to
Nassau, a British port, from thence he
should 90 to Canqda, and from there he
should issue his address to the people Of
Ohio."
Hasn't he followed the programme,
and isn't there an understanding be-
tween him and tho rebels?
They are to work together to elect
Vallandigham President in 1864, when
he is to recognize the independence Of
the Con(ederocy, Such is the plan OF
the Atlanta Iatelligencer, which says
"With all his assertions in favor of a
reestabIishment Of the Union, Mr., Val.
landigham possesses too much observa.
tion and sagacity not to feel assured
that the North and South never will
coacsce and we may rest confident
that humanity, self interest and ma.
tional pride, will force him when Pres
ident in Lncoln's stead, to acknowl
edge the independent sovereignty o.
the Confederate States" J

The War In Kentucky.
LEXINGTON, July 81,

LEXINGTON, July 81.
The rebels, finding themselves in
danger ofbeing surrounded, and sorely
pressed by Saunders, suddenly turned
westward and passed between Big Hill
and Richmond ON the Paint Lick road
to Lancaster, thence to Stanford, close
ly pursued by Notwithstanding
going on all the way
Saunders captured over one hundred
prisoners, including one Lieut. Colonel
Quantities of stores, guns and wagons
have arrived at Stanford.
After q hundred miles ride day and
night, Saunders men and horses were
completely used up and the rebels still
moro so.
The rebels passed Halls Gap this
evening too early TO be intercepted by
the troops from Lebanon. They will
attempt the crossing ofthe Cumberland
tonight or early in the morning,
Every available mounted man o
ours will be pushed forward to preven
their escaping, or at least to re.captur'
oftheT capture, Saunders will drive
the last ono of them out Of the State
without doubt, and the invasion in it
political and military aspects will have
failed, t

now TO pRoLoXG THE WAN.

Every man who votes for Vallandig-
ham votes to prolong the war. WhyY
Because the only hope of the rebels,
and that which encourages them TO
continue their resistance to the Gov
eminent, is tho hope that Vallandig-
ham may bring about revolution in
the North, or at least gather around
him party 50 large as to render the
Government powerless'to to suppress the
rebellion Every paper from the South
expresses this hope every papcrwatch.
ca and chronicles the acts and speeches
of yallandigham, and every paper
gloa,s over the Ncw.York mob as the
beginning Of this revolution and divi.
sion. 1t is strange that men cannot see
this 1t is strange that there are hun
drcds ofmen supporting vallandigham
under the impression that his talk
aaboae peace and his opposition to the
Government win in some way bring
about peace, when the Tact is, that his
treasonand the large party which fol-
lows him, are the very things which
proIong the war by encouraging The
rebels to continue in rebellion,

The Editor ofthe Eagle, together with
s or 10 Valandighammers have sud
denly become converted. Their dcvo-
ton and enthusiasm is great, like all
new converts Last Sunday they hir-
cd carriage and an express wagon,
and went six miles to church, n thing
they have not done for years. How
discouraged Satan must be to find his
best friends deserting him. Before
service they devoted the time to dtStrib-
ming tracts among the people, The
tract distributed was called the "Ohio
Eagle" containing tho Rererend Edison
B. Olds sermon on the duty Of Butter
nuts to sustain the government Of jeff.
Davis. We understand that the sin
ners of Greenfield actually tore somo
of the tracts to pieces and that young
lady refused to touch thom. Be en-
oouraged, 0 Osaintly martyr, topreach
Be encouraged, o faithful disciples Ito
distribute tracts, You shall have your
reward beyond doubt, You are on the
broad road that leads to that tropical
country, where there are no "AboH-
tionisls,'
A friend suggests that il the Reuer-
end Edison B. is out of "wastc paper,
he can obtain supply by gathering up
the fragments of his tracts, which the
Union men tore up and scattered about
the grounds.

THE cnirTENDEN COMPROMISE.

Werinvite the attention Of our read
erB to an article on our first page on
the Crittenden Compromise, Ii is a
brief but complete history. The vote
which really disposed of the Compro-
mise was the vote on the Clark substi-
tutc, which being only a resolution
could be adopted by a majority, in
stead ofatwo-thirds vote, The South
ern men who refused TO vote against
the Clark substitute aud thus allowed
it to pnss, virtually killing tho Com.
promise, knew very well the effect of a
substitute and really desired its adopt
ION. No honest man who knows the
history Of the Compromise, can pre-
tend that the Southern men desired its
adoption, II is true, that 'poombs sta
ted that ~ the Republicm members
irouid toie tor il, "icjth c1tdm oihe,
gtanHtrcs, not stating what these
guarantees were, the South would be
satisfied with the Compromise, But at
The time this statement was made q
number of the States were already in
rJbellion, and had committed mum
her of acts Of war. No intelligent
man can believe that the Southern
leaders desired the Crttendcn Com.
nromisc.

Another Democratic Paper WIN Not sup
port BIr. VaIlAndfchaun.

s--~~-AN~~~E
The American Union published at
Steubenville' Ohio, and edited by John
Sheriden, refusesto support Vallandig-
ham for Governor. 1t has been the
Democratic organ of Jefferson County
for more than thirty years. In an
article published on the 18th, the Union
refers to the noise made by Vallandig-
ham about States rights, and an armis-
tice, and observes:
eff party adopt the peculiar views
on this subject Estate rights of the
great South Carolinian, John c. Cal
houn, then the former position occupied
by the Democratic party has been
wrong, andwe have but found out since
the latter day Democracy are playing
the deuce with the party, that Jackson
and allsuch ordinary men as him didn't
know what Democracy consisted of,
and of what ingredients it was COM
posed, Notwithstanding the history of
the country shows that when secession
raised its head with John G. Calhoun
for its leader, that he proved to be the
man for the crisis and the "Pilot who
weathered the storm" crushed the
great Nullifer and his followers.-and
as long as he lived, was thanked by the
whole nation for his prompt action in
so doing 1t was never mooted again
until after Jackson and Calhoun died"
The editor Of the Union defines his
position thus:
eve, asan editor, stand to-day where
we did the first day the first gun was
fred on Fort Sumter. Nearly the
whole party stood with us then, as we
believe does now We will not be in
timidatcd or whcedled into a wrong
position. We will stand between the
camps of the Israelites and Philistines,
and we can cry in the hour Of ofdegenera-
cy woe to the leaders Of the great Dem
ocratic party until, like ancient Min
evah, the people will awake and come
/ up tothe publication ofthe Democratic
temple, and overthrow those who are
trying to place the party in false po-
sition. This will be done.

do.-Edgle.
We are glad to hear it. That is all
we ask ofyou. But we would suggest
that when the Gazette does the same;
thing, it ought not to be mObbed, and
that you and your party ought not to
daninit.as lying Abolition sheet.
Whoever comes before the public as a
candidate, as a public speaker, as a
public officer, or whoever takes part in
any public affair or public disturbance,
will fihd his name mentioned and his
setiments and acts discussed in the Ga
zctte, however much you may warn US
to Beware The Union men call
YOU Butternuts and Copperheads.-
Why? Because you wear butternuts
in your button-holes- and golden coz
perheads in your watch chains, and
because you are Butternut and Cop
perhead in sentiment. They call you
secessionists because the leaders Of your
party here are original and avowed
Isecessionists If you arc the thing
you must not be afraid Of the name
You may hold the public offices while
longer, you may sell and drink all the
whiskey, you may do mp all the swear
ing of the campaign, but you cannot
Iintimidate the Union men by threats,
nor escape being denounced or oppos-
ed.
We have been led into these remarks
by the denunciations' and expletives
which ouraccount oftliKriot on the e25th
drew from the Butternuts. One Of
them swore terribly, like the Army in
Flanders another writhing under our
statement Of facts, thought the Gazette
beneath the contempt Of dogs, Happy
Gazette to be above the. contempt of
dogs and Butternuts. Another threat
ems to knock our "infernal head off,
Now, all that wo ask is that lie will al
low us to be present during that inter
esting operation We should regret it
exceedingly if we should be absent
when it takes place. To come down
street in the morning and find that our
head had been knocked off the night
before, during our absence, would spoil
the pleasure ofone day and unfit us for
business. We cordially ask the gen
tleman to don't. There are several
reasons why a mans head should not
be knocked off: 1. Heads were not
mado to knock off. 2. 1t hurts. 3.
The operator runs into danger.
