The Nominee OF the Copperhcud Com
Vcnti0n.
Some time ago the rebel General,
Bcauregard, advised that the term
" YonkeS," as applied TO Federal sol
dicrs, and the people Of the North, be
dropped, and that the term abolition
ist be substituted. Immediately the
rebel journals both North and South,
and especially North, adopted the sug-
gcstion and to-day every Union man
is denounced M an Aboltionist. A few
days ago the Chattanooga Rebel nomi-
mated G. J.. Vallandigham for Cover
nor Of Ohio. Again their friends in
the loyal States adopt their suggestion.
On last Thursday, under the guise and
in the namo Of Democracy, they as
scmbed at Columbus in mass Conven-
ton, and ratified tho nomination made
by the Chattanooga Rebel.
The old leaders, the long headed and
sbrewd politicians of tho party, wero
there trying to control the turbulent
and refractory crowd, whom they have
hitherto led or driven at will. But
this time "tho masses" every one of
whom had been bitten by Vallandig-
ham, took the bit in their mouths and
ran away with the drivers They
camc up running over with Vallan-
digham, and carried the Convention
for him by storm.
Though We believe this nomination a
disgrace to the State yet if we look at
IL with an eye to policy only, We feel
inclined to congratulate tho friends OF
the Union, and to thank the Copper
heads. If it had boon submitted to the
Union men of Ohio, to say who should
he placed at the head of tho Copper
head ticket, as matter of policy, they
would have said Vallandigha.2. HI

a Giving his reasons for not supportll

v. IL had rather my right arm we
