TIE ONO ELECTION AND THE CoPPERHEADs.
I find that the ignorant among the Democ.
raey, and they are numerous, have been In
doctrinated By the leaders into the belief that
the Administration will certainly prevent the
Democrats Of Ohio from voting at the .elec-
ton on the 18Th. This is not to be wondered
1t, because from every Democratic stump In
central md southern Illinois the denagogue
has proclaimed 1t as the policy Of the Admin.
istration that a1l means possible will be used
to defeat Vallaudigham. This IL part Of the
plot to inargu1ate revolution in Ohio, II pos
sible. Iconversed with Democrat Of the
unlettered class to, day, who very nalvely ask
ed me If I did not think there would be fight.
ing and blood shed In Ohio. asked him
why? He said he understood the Admins
tration were not going to allow Democrats to
vote in that state. It is by such means ns
these that the leading Democrats rule the
masses and lead them to destruction, It m.
by such misrepresentation Of the Northern
People that the Southern demagogues were
able to influence the un1eadlng masters of the
slaves to rebel against the authority of the
Goyernment. It ls to these mIsrepreseuta-
tions that the reyo1ntionists Of Illinois and
Indiana expect to be able to Induce mIsgufd.

play done to Vallandigham, but really to be
ready to reyolutionize that State.

Of the case is, that the Professor leaves nife
