M
thousands of Ohio readers, TO the follow
ing extract from the Chattanooga Rebel,
one Of the hercest and most malignant
and venomous Of rebel newspapers pub
lished within the Confederate lines. Let
Il be remembered that the Rebels article
was published several weeks before Val
landigham was nominated by the Con-
servaiiyes Of Ohio, for Governor:
"His (Vallandigbam's) road, which
lay up the steep ascent Of the future, is
direct and gas-lighted oil the way. II
leads 6rst out Of some Confederate port
70 Nassau, thence TO Canada, and finally
to the Gubernotortai chair Of Ohio. The re-
turn of Napolon from Elba was the signal
for general reaction in France. Thou.
sands hocked to him on the instant.
Nothing could keep the Little Corporal,
bars nor iron, nor prison, nor Island. He
stood once more on his native heath. The
superstitious popular heart chung TO him
and he triumphed. let Mr.. RaHaadig-
HAMS return le as speedy; let an absence of a
single month find him issuing an address 10
the people Of his State, from Lo1ccT Canada,
proclaiming these things to them:
l. a loyal citizen Of tie Union, and a sol
oier thereof and of freedom, boniShed against
L1l0 and Constitution, HTotoa contrary TO my
agiH acy IS the lines Of a public enemy Dhose
refusal 10 Teoeive and recognize me establishes
before oil men my patriotism and my honor;
i c. i. Ralland'gham, persecuied, eriled
alOb6ed and coeyoed by cotoardly tyronts and
by bayonets, Jut not dead nor dumb, issue these
aoords, and declare myself candidate for
Governor Of Ohio.
"7he eject would Jemagca"
The Rebel further says:
ellis prospects for Governor of Ohio
are exceedingly fair. We admire HIM
because from the start he has been against
the war;"
Fellow citizens, Of Ohio, ponder these
words, and the source whence they pro-
coed, seriously.
You have sent about 100000 of the
flower of your yeomanry TO fight against
armed traitors in the South. This man
Vallandigham, who has recently been
nominated for Governor of your State,
was so fercely hated by the Ohio SOL
diers, that when he was brought to Muir.
freesboro few weeks ago, to be sent
through the linss, no had TO be hurried
through by stealth to prevent the indig-
nant soldiers from laying violent hands
upon him.
This man, who has opposed the wal
in all its stages, and who proposed 9
formal ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the United
States into four sections, or Confeder-
scies, was greeted with delight by the
traitors against whom tho Government
is fighting, and nominated as a candidate
for Governor in Ohio, the most populous
wealthy, and Aourishing of all the States
in the North west.
Aud now, after all this has happened
a Democratic Conservative Convention
assemblies in Columbus, and thrusts this
cold hearted, selfish, treacherous Knight
of the Golden Circle, and grand fugle.
man of tho Conservative Copperhead =
faction, @. L. Vallandigham, rpon you
as proper person to be your Chief Ma
gistrate.
Certainly, this Conservative Ohio Con-
vention presents an extraordinary spec
tacle. We End nothing like loyalty in
its resolutions. They applaud and Gu.
lOgise Vallandigham, but denOunce the
President
Their whole tone is insolent and men
acing They bluster about the "rights
of the Democratic party" but not the
rights of the people. They say not a
word in favor of prosecuting the war.
They favor restoration of the Union,
provided the seeded States desire it.
They acknowledge the cry of the "Con-
stitutiOn as Il Is" to be vile cheat by
declaring that the conservatives arc ready
to alter the Constitution SO as TO give the
seeded States new guarantees for the
security Of their slave property.
We feel.sure that noble Ohio will ad-
minister n rebuke to COpperheadism at
the ballot box this summer, severer than
she ever gave before. The Cincinnati
Union papers, have nominated that bold
war Democrat, Hon. John Brough, by
commoR consent, for Vallandigham's
opponent, and it seems to us a capital
suggestion. Mr.. Brough has not been in
political hfo for many years, but he is a
man of fine talents and extraordinary
energy and boldness, and perfectly true
TO the Union.
And now let every Ohio soldier appeal
privately to Ais friends at home to save
the name Of Ohio from the irreparable
stigma Of giving even a respectable
minority the the traitor Vallandigham
