In lssass nj de sob, Il strikes up a
milder strain, - follows; e1.s.st
I'VE have little 10 say in addition to
what We have already said in regard to
tho case Of Mr.. Vallandigham. Had We
consulted our feelings, perhaps we would
have said less or remsiped silent alto
eether. How natural il is that we all
feel ki~diy towsrd Mr.. Vallsndigham
But duty before feelings always, in An
| emergency. We sre quite sure that no
one viii appreciate the feycs Of our re-
mavas moro clearly or sccept them in
frsnker spirit than the subject himself.-
Upon the mind Of a weak msn they might
iall harshly, N the first token Of public
opinion, bat % one Of his enlightened
liberality, they VIII come in ehap more
charitable than III natured or violent, for
our counsel is sincere. and, we believe,
also, correct. Seriously. we do not doubt
the course W which he will adopt. We re-
ally consider his prospects to Be Governor
Of Ohio very fair. We wish them real.
irsd, because he il peace man, an sble
an honest one. With such man as Pres
ident of the United States, We could al
ways remain at peace. He is our style Of
man, aud rs such We do not wish him
consigned 70 the obscurity and misfortune
of an exile where be il povsyless for good
While he is with us, let us show him how
deeply We can symFsshize with foeman
man worthy Of oar steel, generous en-
envy. Let him take away With him NO
ill-feeling. Let him understand. as no
one is better abls to do, the nlotives
Which prompt US motives Of public duty
mingled with great personal admiration
We admire Mcclellan. and We admire
Buell. also. We admire any man Of cour-
age and capacity, Who has waged this
war upon Christian principles. We sd :
mire Mr.. Vallandigham more than oil,
because he was against the war at the
start, and has kept hrs faith untaruished
ever since. His crowning speech at the
last Congress, We pronounced at the time
the 6nsst document of the present age,
and We entertain for the author nothing
but respect aud kindnsss.''
On the Goth of May, it says, in anoth-
er leader:
"His (vsllandigham's) road, which
leads up the steep ascent of the future, is
direct and gas.ligh h.ad all the way 1t

To Nsssau, thence to Canada, aud. finaffv,
to lbe Gubernatorial chair of Ohio. The
return Of Napoleon from E'ba was the
Z signal for . general reaction in France. -
Thousands focked to him on the Instant.
