nor With the semblance OF corruption
in his public career; but in these re
spects, is admitted by his bitterest op
ponents to be an honest and an up
right man. His talents are concedeC
to be of a high order, and his abilit,
to defend his positions with reason an.
argument, is admitted by frienl and
foe. On all the oil party issues Of
past times, Mr.. Vallandigham has oc
cupiei conservative and consisten,
course, eminently becoming an honest
and upright Democrat. Since the in
ception Of our present troubles, where
by our country has become distracted
and. is bleeding at every pore, Mr..
Vallandigham has held, and, on al
proper occasions, has expressed the
opinion that war was not the best
course to compose our troubles, and
and in fact doabted whether Ee could
crush the rebellion and restore the
Union by force of arms. For thus
expressing himself at Nj, Vernon in
a public speech, and criticising the
acts Of the Fel ler,ll Administration,
as was thu right of a freenen to d.,
he Was, by order of Genera Burnside,
arrested, tried by a military commits
sion, found guilty, and sentenced to
Imprisonment during the war, which
sentence was modified by President
Lincoln for banishnent beyond the
lines ofour army. This infamous and
outrageous conduct, in violation of
Constitution, law an1all the safeguards
of liberty, at once aroused the Demo-
cratic people of Ohio in his behalf,
and they resolved to reoukc the out
rage onpersonal liberty anil civil lights
by the nomination Of Mr.. Vallaniig-
ham for Governor of Ohio, and to fol-
low up this nomination by an election,
thus making the rejected stone the
head of the corner. Had the Pfcsi-
lent of the Unitel States and Gen.
Burnsides been in Columbus on yes
erlay, they could have seen the ef-
feet that their violations Of the Con-
stitution, Of the law and the rights Of
the citizen, in the arrest of Mr.. Val.
Ian isaam, has had on the true, sin
cere and patriotic Union men of Ohio.
Every allusion to their oiious military
orders, AMI more odious conduct under
them, met with tn, m ost contemptuous
response from the people; who felt that
by them ak that was dsar- to freemen
was putin jeopardy. The nomination
Of Mr.. Vallanligham was designed by
the Convention, and does put to the
people of OHIO the square issue, wheth-
er we live under government of law,
in which freedom Of opinion AMI the
right to criticisc the civil or military
conduct Of our servants is tolerated,
or, instead thereof, whether Mr.. Lin
coin is despot, AMI his sunordiaatss
his instruments with power to crush
out the last vestigs'of personal---very..
All whoyare for q dsspotism should
vote against Mr.. Vallandigham all
in favor. Of. free speech, free press,
trial by jury, habeas corpus and all
the safeguards Of liberty viii N our
fathers traasmittad ani h .adel down
to us, should vote for Mr.. Vallsndig-
ham.
The nominee for Lieutenant Cover
nor, George E. Plgh, is gentlem an
in relation to whom it woull be an act
of supcrr ,gation in us to make any
extended remarks. His talents are
admitted by all, both friend and oppo-
nent. III this respect he is the peer
of any man in Ohio. A lawyer of
unsurpassed ability, statesman Of
conceded merit, and an honest man,
his nomination will be received with
the most hearty approval by all the
true friends Of the Union AMI tha Con-
stitation in the Stiteof Ohio. H. viii
be a host in the contest before US, and
his clarion voice will rally the frien ds
Of liberty from hill AMI valley, town
and country, to action bold, fearless
action in the great struggle in which
we are now engaged, and in which our
chief object is to save. our bleeding
country from the peril in which it is in
volved. ai44 taaafa
