Judge whom I name not, because he
has brought foul dishonor upon the judi
ciary of NY country. In your hands
now, men of Ohio, is the final issue of
the experiment. The party of the Ad.
ministration have accepted it.
By pledging support to the President,
they have justified his outrages upon lib
erty and the Constitution, and whoever
gives his vote to the candidates Of that
party commits himself to every act of
violence aud wrong on the part of the
Administration, which be upholds, and
thus, by retaliation, which is the law Of
might, would forfeit his own right to lib
erty, personal and political, whatsoever
other men and other party shall hold the
power. Much more do the candidates
themselves. Suffer them not, entreat
YOU, to evade the issue, and by'the judg.
mat I Of the people we will abide.
Aud now, finally, let me ask, what is
the pretext for all the monslrous acts
and claims of arbitrary power which you
have so nobly denounced ? But if, in
deed, all these be demanded by military
necessity, then, believe me, your liberties
are gone aud tyranny is perpetual, For
if this civil war is TO terminate only by
the subjugatiou or subnisslon OF the
South 10 force of arms, the iGfant OF to-
day will not live TO see the end OF it.
No, in ahotherway only can itbe brought
to close. Travelling thousand miles
and more, through nearly one half of the
Confederate States, and sojourning for
time at widely different points, | met not
one man, woman or child who was not
resolved 10 perish rather than yield to
the pressure of arms, even III the most
desperate extremity. And whatever
may and must be the varying fortune of
the war, in all which | recognize the
hand of Providence pointing EiSibly to
the ultimate issue Of this great trial of
the States and people of America, they
are better prepared now every way to
make their inexorable purpose, than any
period since the beginning Of the strug.
gle. These may Indeed be unwelcome
truths; but they are addressed to candid
and honest men. Neither, however, let
me add, did meet any one, whatever
his opinions or his station, political or
private, who did not declare his readi.
ness, when the war shall have ceased and
armies been withdrawn, to consider aud

who she'll doubt the issue of the argu-
ment? return, therefore, with my
opinions and convictions as to war or

to put their soldiers who have been thus
assisted and befrended, in the false po.
sition of slande ering their benefaetors. -
Shame, shame, shame on the lying SLAM

In conclusion We say to the soldiers
and sergeants and corporals 10 the S0th
Ohio, that the follies of this Admins
tration has made ii many enemies, who
will work until they hurl it from power.
But throughout the great army of two
hundred thousand Ohio Democrats there
is not one enemy Of the government or
disunion man. They have taken up
Vallandigbam because he is the victim
through which arbitrary power sought
to strike down the liberty of the people.
He is just as sure to be elected Cover
nor Of Ohio as that day follows night.
And then the straps aud buttons will be
taken of these Slanderers, and such Of
you as remain faithful to free speech,
will get their places. Remember
that in little time CLEMENT L. VAL,
LANDlaHAM, whom you are now CON-
PEELED to SANDER and vilify, will exam-

now than falsely calling him a traitor.

Mr. Vallandighnm's Address
and AcceDtRmCe,


We publish in this number OF our
paper the address Of the Hon. Glenn
ent L. VaIlandigham to the People oil
Ohio, aud his acceptance Of the nomina'
ton for Governor tenderered him by the
largest Convention of voters ever held
in this State. The address is docu-
ment that cannot fail to command the
attention aud admiration ofboth political
friends aud opponents Init the writer
firmly but temperatelv enunciateS his
unfaltering devotion to the Union, the
Constitution, and to those great princi'
pies of constitutional liberty of which he
is an aLle and acknowledged champion.
The Buffalo Courier, from which we
copy the address, gives it the following
editorial notice:
We are kindly enabled to publish, in
advance of every othes Journal in the
country, the address which Mr.. Valan'
digham, from his place of banishment at
Clifton, issues to the people OF Ohio. -
Circumstances, without parallel in the
history of the country, conspire 10 render
this one Of the most interesting docu.
ments of even this eventful time. Mr..
Vallandigham has been driven from his
home, and is now held in exile. in fragrant
violation Of law; and, in view of the
wrongs he has suffered, it is surprising
that his words are SO temperate aud
calm. We never have agreed, and do
not now agree, with Mr.. Vallandigham
in his position with regard to the war;
but upon what Fremont correctly styles
"the uppermost question OF the day."
his views aud utterances are oG"s lie
doeSnot state the great issue of individual
rights with whit too much of empha.
sis. The security of the citizen in his
home, and the protection of his in.
laienable rights as freeman, are OBJ
jects which come even closer to the
heart of the patriot than the suppression
Of the rebellion. 1t was in recognition
of this fact that the Democracy Of Ohio
chose Mr.. Vallandigham as their stand.
ard.bearer and inasmuch as the princi.
pies involved are most sacred, they are
doubtless prepared to contest with Wig.
or an issue which has Jeen forced upon
hem by the Administration.
