and again, speaking OF the same honorable
Senator, he says he is a @vulgar pettifog-
GER" employed @to 6ul'y-rag the other
side. Elegant language, isB't this, for
candidate for Governor Of Ohio?
vICrs HMsELF OF TREASON.
"Tbe Democracy" was not always the
traitorous organization which now apprO-
PIRATES that name. Valandighamis "Rec-
ord" of few years ago, is enough, ofitself,
to convict him of being now rebel and q
traitor
In the Ohio Statesman of January IL,
l84S, are published the proceedings Of
Democratic meeting held at Dayton, Mont
gomery county, on the 18th Of December,
TO appoint delegates 10 the Sth of January
Convention. At that meeting q commit
tee of five was appointed TO draft resolu-
tious expressive Of the sense Of the De-
.mocracy of the county. @. l. VALLAN-
DIGHAM, Chairman, james Brooks, Geo.
W Houck, W. J. NJ. Bachelor and
Daniel Tucker we're appointed said Com
mittee
Mr.. Vallandigham made the report,
which was adopted. Here is one Of his
resolutions, verbatim, italics and all, Just
as it as it stands in the Statesman:
aResolUed, That whatever opinion might
have been entertained OF the origin, neces-
sity or Justice, by the Tories Of the Revo-
lutionary War, by the Federalists of the
late war with England, or by the Wings
and AbOlItionists Of the present war with
| Mexico, the fact Of their country being
engaged in such war ought to have been
/ sufficient for them, and to have precluded
debate on that subject till successful ter
minatiOn of the war; and that, 10 the
meantime, the patriot could have expert
enced no difficulty in recognizing his place
on the side Of his country, and could never
have been induced to yield either physical
or moral aid to the enemy
Contrast that with the present. position
OF G. l. Vallandigham and his party, and

COPPERHEAD ENDORSES THE LANGUAGE OF
THE REVOLUTIONARY TRAITOR rt
A thrilling incident occurred at public
discussion held at Royalton, Cuyahogs
County, on the 25th Of September. The
discussion was on the question: is Vallan'
digham q traitor ?" The affirmative was
supported by Hon. A. G. Riddle and G
w. Palmer Esq, OF Cleveland, while the
Vallandighammers selected Amos Coe. ESQ.
of Cleveland as their spokeman. Mr. Riddle
opened the discussion by a scathing re-
view Of the Congressional course Of VAL
landigham, showing his persistent hostility
to the Government Mr.. Coe could make
no denial Of this official record, but quoted
from speeches and letters Of his candidate.
bis professions of Unionism Mr. Palmer
followed, saying that as Mr.. Coe had con
fined himself to reading extracts, he would
also read an extract and ask their opinion
upon it. f-- ...-.r ts.---.
He then read the 70 lowing:
Proclamation TO the Citizens and Soldiers ofthS
United States 49,
s'You are promised liberty BY the leader
Of your affairs, but is there an indiVidua

On conclusion Of the reading, Mr. CO
who had been nOdding bis approval

emphasis that thrilled the hearts of Il

no need to say anything to add to
startling effect which this incident had p
