CONCLUDED
When the extra session OF Congress
met in July, 1861, party lines had dis
appeared, the people of the loyal States
were acting heartily together in defense
of the capital then beleaguered by hos
tile armies Where was Mr.. Y. then?
No political dispute about the conduct of
the war had then arisen-when Critten-
den and Johnson Union men of the South
ard the North Democrats of the South
and the North, were voting heartily to-
gether in founding measures of defense.
What was then the course of Mr.. Val
landigham? He was active and spoke
frequently, but not one word as ainst the
rebels then in arms around the Capital,
but arraignment after arraignment, ac-
cusation after accusation, against the
constituted authorities The record will
show that five men at this session were
especially prominent in opposition to
every measure of offense or defense.
Breckenridge, of the Senate, and Bur
nett, Ben. Wood, Reid, Norton and Val
landigham, of the House Since then
Breckenridge, Reid and Burnett have
joined the rebel service, Wood cropped
out the other day in the New York riots,
and our democratic friends propose to
make the other Governor of Ohio
Cries, "Shame, Shame!' You will not
find his vote recorded in favor of any
measure of national defense or any ap.
preparation for the support of the army
l have before me the record of the vote
OH the bill to authorize national loan,
taken on the 18th day of July, 1861.
Those who voted in the negative on this
important bill were Burnett, Norton,
Reid, Wood and Vallandigham Is not
man known by the company he keeps?
WHO DOES NOT SEE THE TRAITOR?
If any patriot had heretofore doubted
the position of Mr.. Vallandigham, that
doubt should be removed by his recent
address from Canada He commences
by pointed Acknowledgements of the in
he draws the fTrt U9Uweei tue UnIreu
States and the Confederate States as be-
tween two independent powers. Wttf
the Democracy of Ohio make this ac-
acknowledgement? Are they willing to re-
gard our soldiers as the invaders of an
independent Government? But he says
he refused to remain in the Confederate
States, or identify himself with their
cause, and thereby has proved his 10y
atty. What hypocrisy! Do we not know
that he was received as friend, feted,
welcomed and released? Would any
loyal citizen Of the United States have
been thus treated? Is he not now act
ing as the agent and emissary of the
rebel Government, in the very role
marked out by them? Does he not issue
his address from the very place, and in
the very words they long since dictated
Is he not now advancing the cause more
effectually than if he had taken his place
by the side of Breckenridge and Davis
Read his address. He has no words o.
unkindness for the rebels seeking to sub
vert our Government His invectives ar,
only aimed at those who fight and striv,
for the Government He tells you he ha
travelled more than a thousand mile
| through the rebel States, and met neithe
man, woman nor child, who would sui
NIT to the United States, as if any man
woman or child would confide in Vallar
digham an opinion, sure to be JOYFUL
BETRAYED to those who would hang th
loyal man to the nearest tree. He dar
not say but that thousands-yea, mi
Eons-would hail the old flag wit
shouts of Joy; but he glories in the il
fanny that would bring to him only m;
lignant enemies of his country, an
would drive from him, as from the stai
of leper, the loyal patriot of Tenne
see, of North Carolina, or Virginia
He tells Hs s2gfffs ffiRs road TO peace, and th
i the only material point of his addres
He would withdraw what ne calls 1nYa
