The above is the formal and elaborate
plan of Clement L. yalIandigham for divid-
ing this Union. He proposed it in his
place in Congress and deliberately an
nounced to his fellow members that as soon
in the following week as he could obtain
the floor he s'proposed to speak in its sup
port" Yet this same man is the one who
cries the "Union as it was" through the
country, and all his followers echo the cry.
He proposed to dismember the Union and
yet in opposition to those who will not
consent to either his plan of secession OF
to that of his friends down South, he cries
"the Union as twas"
Men of Ohio are you for dividing this
Union at all2 either into two parts as, JEFF.
Davis is endeayoring to divide it, or into
four parts as Vallandigham proposed to
divide it2 Would you, by vote to-day,
consent to divide the Republic2 We fancy
not. How can you then vote for and en-
dorse vallandigham2 We have given date
and page in the Congregational Globe where
you can find his proposal to separate the
States. You are fighting in common
with the other loyal States to preserve the
whole of this Union. You have no more
sympathy with proposal to divide it into
four parts than you have with the effort to
divide it into two parts. How, then, again
we ask, can you endorse yallandigham?
Be assured, men of Ohio, that it is only
the deep common interest we have with
you in the defeat of the traitOr-candidate
who is before you, that induces us to adj
dress you at this length to-day. AS we
told you at the outset, SO we tell you again,
that there is not Union man on this side
of the river, be he Wing, Democrat OF Re-
publican, who does not from the bottom of
his heart most anxiously wish for the
Overwhelming defeat of yallandigham.-
To you as well as to us and the whole ma
ton, his election viii be an ominous event.
Mr.. Norton.
Our friend. Mr.. E. M. Norton. t.kss az.
