against them. IL VIII DC ldct greatly N
his favor with ne, and enc of which, as
yet, l sm totally ignorant. When it is
known that the whole burden of his
speeches has been to sti. up men against
the prosecution of the WEI, and that In the
midst OF resistance to it he has not been
known IN any instance to counsel sgaipst
such resistance, it is next to impossible TO
repel the inference that be has couDseled
directly in favor of it.
With all this before their eyes, the con-
ventlon you represent have nominated
Mr.. Nallandigham for Governor OF Ohio,
and both they and you have declared the
purpose TO sustain the National Union by
al constitutional means. But, of course,
they, and you, in common, reserve to
yourselves to decide what are consutu-
tional means, and, unlike the Albany
meeting, you omit TO state or intimate
that, in your opinion, an army is con-
stitutional means of saving the Union
against rebellion, or even to intimate
that you are conscious of an existing re-
beilion being 10 progress with the aVoWed
object OF destroying that very Union AT
the same time, your nominee Tor Iov-
ernor, in whose behalf you appeal, Is
known TO you and the world to declare
against the use OF an army to suppress
the rebellion. Your own attitude, there
fore, encourages desertion, resistance to
the draft, and the like, because 1t teaches
those who incline to desert and to escape
the draft. to believe il Is your purpose To
protect them, and to hope that you will
become strong enough TO do So. After &
personal intercourse with you, gentlemen
of the committee, | cannot say | think
you desire this effect 10 follow your atti-
tude; bat / assure you thst both friends
and enemies OF the Union look upon it in
this light. 1t is a substantial hope, aud
by consequence, real strength to the
enemy. 1t is false hope, and one which
you would willingly dispel. | will make
the way exceedingly easy. l send you
duplicates OF this letter. In order that you,
or a majority OF you may, II you choose,
endorse your names upon one Of them, and
return 1t thus endorsed 10 me, with the
understanding that those signing are
committed To the following propositions,
and To nothing else /:
l. That there Is now rebellion IN the
United States, the object and tendency OF
which is To destroy the national Union !;
and that. in your opinion, an army and
navy are constitutional means FOR suppress
sing that rebellion.
2. That no one of you will do anything
wl.ch n his OWE judgement will tend 10
hinder the increase or favor the decrease,
or lessen the efficiency OF the army
and navy, while engaged IN the effort 10
suppress the rebellion; and
3. That each OF you will, in his sphere,
do all he can 10 have the officers, soldiers,
and seamen OF the army and navy, while
engaged in the effort 10 suppress the re-
beIllon, paid, fed, clad, and otherwise well
provided for and supported.
And with the further understanding
that upon receiving the letter and lanes
thus endorsed, | will cause them to be
published, which publication shall be,
within itself, q revocation OF the order in
relation 10 Mr.. Fallandigham.
II will not escape observation that |
consent to the release of Mr.. Nallandig-
ham upon terms not embracing any pied &c
from him or others, US to what he will or
Will not do. | do this because be is not
present To speak tor himself, or TO author
ize others 10 speak tor him; and hence, |
shall expect, that on returning, he would
not put bimself practically in autagonIsm
with the position of bis trieud5. But
do i chiefly because thereby prevail on
other Influential gentlemen of Ohio to So
define their position - u be OF immense
value TO the aTmy-thus more than com
pensatlng for the conSeq leuce5 OF any mis-
take il allowing Mr.. NaIlandIgaam 10 re
turn, SO that on the whole, the pubic safe
ty viii not have suffered by II. SJili, il
regard TO Mr VaAanGIgham and all others,
| must hereafter, heretofore, do so
much as the public service may seem to
require. | have the honor 10 be respect
fully yours, ect. a. LINCOLN.

OF UOnuecucut, and the Hon. Nr. Pendle-
ton, OF Ohio, delivered speeches at the
Academy of Music before a new democrat
&c club, composed of politicians as small
and unsppre cIauye as the speakers them
selves. We took the trouble To publish
these addresses in yesterdays Herald, and
are almost sorry that we wasted 50 much
valuable space upon such trashy prOduc-
tons. In the midst OF she creates crisis
the world ever saw-"IJh the news OF the
greatest victory OF the war just eIectriIv-
