BE WAS AGAINST THE RAISING OF SOLDIERS 70
CARRY on THE WAR.
On the 26th of January, the Speaker an
nounced that the next business in order was /
the consideration of bill (H. R. No. $751; |
to raise additional soldiers for the service Of |
the Government.
Anxious to dispose of the finance question,
Mr.. Stevens moved that the bill be postponed
until the next day.
NJ. Holman moved to amend by postpon-
ing it to the Sd of March, next-a motion in
tended to defeat it entirely, by delaying it un-
til the end Of the session, and on this last
question Vallandigham voted yea.
On the 18th Of February, Mr.. Olin said: 81
desire to ask permission of the House to have
taken from the Speakers table the bill Of the
Senate No. oil in relation to the enrolment
and calling out of troops, simply for the pur
pose of having it printed for the use of mem
6ers." &C.. Globe, part ID, p. 1O86.)
True to his vile instincts-to his nourished
wrath against the Government, he was found
barking forth his usual expletive, / object"
on this simple, but important proposition.
If possible, he was determined to cripple
the army so that the hordes of Rebellion
might plant their COlors in the nations Capt.
tai.
He OPPOSED THE JOINT RESOLUTION OF con-
GREss AGAINST FOREIGN INTERVENTION IN
BEHALF OF THE REBELS.
In the evening session of March the Sd, res
olutions eondemning the interference of other
nations in our contest, were taken up in order;
and what did Vallandigham do? That which
was to have been expected.
! l. -, 11yrAsr an fha
/ bic, and with twenty-nine others, among them
| AHcoHa of Pennsylvania, VoOrhees of Indiana,
| Wood Of New York, voted for so doing, and
| then on the passage of the resolution voted
nag. &C., Globe, part I'd, p. l54l.) 1t was
not enough for him to give aid and comfort
to the rebels himself; he was ready to have
France and England do it; to PROSTATE the
nation at the feet of foreign powers
These are the main points Of Vallandig-
hams Infamous Congressional career. Dur
ing this last session he arrayed himself against
emancipation in Missouri, against what is com
monty but enormously called the "COnscriptor
bill" and against all other necessary or expe
dent measures of the Government; but these
need not be specially referred to. Enougf
of his Congressional record and speeches hai
been produced, to call out against him tht
scorn of every true patriot-enough, to ''pu
him in the pillory of history, and pelt hin
through the ages"
HIS RECORD OUT OF CONGRESS.
It is not alone in Congressional records tina
the evidence of VaIlandigham's treason anC
vilIiany are apparent; they are thickly scat
tered outside of the Congressional Globe
On the Sd of March last Hon Thaddeus Ste
vens while discussing the necessity for tn
Conscription Bill, and showing the necessit
of such measure, made the following quota
tions from a speech made by Vallandigham i
New Jersey, and reported for the Democrat
Nelg York World:
:" will tell him, (the President, as the pre-
found conviction of my judgment, that '0ha
eUer may have been possible IN the beginning
the dqy has gone By l0hsn t0ar for the restore
ton Of the Union can, By any possibility, b
slsecessfUlp
A little further on, he says:
r'ShaH the Democratic party be induced, si'
one moment to strike hands Nth those 11ho d
sire to change the purposes of the Admiaistrc
tioa, and bring 1t back again to a lC11' for II
Unoa, when the whole people united cannC
|, accomplish anything before the fourth of Marc
! 1865? Will the war continue during tbs
time? T"Never, never" from all parts {
the room. vii you send yola' sons again
the battle field? Overwhelming cries. "Nt
! never.n7 Shall they Be eonseriptsd to carry O
the 1oay. for t,0o gears more, and for the negro
mo, never. After reading these extract
Mr.. Stevens continued:
, Are gentlemen at loss to know why it
that the people of this nation will not volur
teer to serve the country, in the army, whe
such leading men, the very head and front {
4 a great party, are giving such advice and cal
! ing forth such responses?
: HE INVITES INVASION.
! ! Again he, (Vallandigham) says:
! ''Shall we do this with the vain, futile, al
e surd, and most unfounded hope that after th
{ 4th of March, 1865, after four years Of sue
! war as God Almighty never permitted t
scourge any land, you will go back again t
a war for the Union NO, no.
1T has been proclaimed that it never wi
] their (the rebels) purpose to invade the NOrtt
/ ern States 1t is very true that if this war
kept up, battles fought, no relenting spirit, n
f prospect of peace, no sound of peace to reac
their ears, they ought to be induced to ndA
! that iagasion" (See Congressional GlOb'
part 2nd, 9dSession, 37th Congress, page 1856
he RE-AFFIRMs HIS COOPER INSTITUTE Doc
TRINE.
After the close of the I'd Session of tn
: 37th Congress, Vallandigham made
speech in Dayton, August I'd, 1862, i
: which he said:
al have not voted for any army {
navy bill, or any army or navy apprOpri
> alton, since the meeting of Congress o
j the 4th of July, 1861"
In another speech made at Dayton, q
recorded upon page 246 of "Vallandig
hams Record" he said
, "The Administration says to ever
! man between twenty and forty-hve,-
"three hundred dollars or your life"
vALLANDIGHAM's COMPLETELY WITH TH
y REBELS.
Having given a sketch of Yallandig
I gham's efforts in behalf of the rebel
Z during his Congressional career, nothin
is needed to establish, beyond cavil, th
fact that he is in thorough sympath
with them. But the evidence has account
lated, and still accumulates, to show indi
, putably, that this is the fact, and that b
. election would be hailed at the South wit
rejoicing A few of these proofs are give

7 HE Is NOMINATED BY TIE REBELS.
The Chattanooga Rebel, May 9th, 1856;
described the arrival of Vallandigham Q
I rebel headquarters, and then says:
: His (Vallandigham's) road, which leaf
up a steep ascent in the future, is direct an
