An Eloquent Appeal for the Union.

0~A@* --NN@iA2
American pstriot and brilliant orator, was
invited 10 address Union meeting In Ohio,
but being unable to attend, sent letter,
from which We make the following extacts :
THE EFFECT or EIHoT1NG vAI1ASD1auAM.
E1ecting Mr. Brough. Ohio yindicates and
tortidee the national Government. Etecting
Mr. 'a1laDdlgham, Ohio abandons and. 60 faf
as one State can do 50, weakens and pros

vaelon-from the bluffs Of Vicksburp broke
the fctte1s OF the MissfesippI, consecrating It
to freedom and the uDtrammeled service Of
= united people. and who, at this very
In which tho national flag was first struck
down, and the torch of treason tossed alott
as the signal Of revolt. Electing Mr.. Va1lan-
dtgham, Ohio turns her back on those brave
men, diso~ns their services, discards the VIC
tories they hare won, sends them vote Of
repudiaticn instead 81 vote Of thanks, and,
In place Of cheering them on in their new en-
terprise, casts cloud between them and
Their lame, their proud memories, their ex-
alfed purposes and hopes, maEing them feel
they have poured blood In the defeat Of arm
ed traitors in their front but to encounter the
the equiyocal recognition aud Impoverished
praise, OF muttnous party III their rear.
EFFECT IN THE souTn.
The election Of Mr. Brough will deepen the
CepresE1on and confirm the discontinue Of the
South, going far to convert into wofulness and
blank despair the OBSTACLES fnEpired By the
peace meetings and riots Of Sew York, Iowa
and other places where Copperheads abound,
and the venom, as well as the slime, the rags
as well as the slippery skin, of the Feptiles,
warn the community Of danger.
On the other tend, the election Of Mr. Val
laIdigham Will rouse the dropping spirits Of
The guilty 6tates that have been SO eHectua ally
crippled Of late It VIII revive iu those States
great expectations Of diversion Ia their
Of desperation. Summon hfr- Vallandigham
from Ills ccrger1al exile in the bosom Of his
congenlal sympathIzers, seat him n the Curale
CHAIR Of yonr Stare, let him have the disburse-
Eent OF tho patronage Iith which 1t is richly
padded, and, not doubt of it, the usurpers
At Richmond vii hare good reason to infer
they have Etllahle friends At the North, and
that President Lincoln Is b&set, undermined,
hampe1ed and oycrbc1ne b5 swarm Of enc
uiee.
Picture to yourselves the transports Of the
refined and exquisite editors who dAnced-as
the king Of Danomey dances at his loathsome
and awf1l holocausts--over the strangllng
md mutilation Of the harmless and helpless
negroes at New York and the massacre at
Lawrence, the instigatIou to which barbsrities
unparalleled since the butcheries Of the Sep
tembris!s and the NoJades Of Lyons must
hare sprung from the deepest abyss OF hell.
Picture TO yourselves the Transports Of these
delicate and chiva1rous gentlemen when the
news reaches them thAt their persistent
champion, who from the outset Of the # II
has done everything III his power to aid the
iHsurrection, while he has lef1 M stone IN
turned that conld embarrass aud lncapacltate
the national Government, has 1riumphed In
his dieafectioD and disloyalty, becoming in.
vested with magiste1ial functions that wtu
c1.ab!e him all the more boldly, all the more
defiant]y, I'll the more naischievously, to re-
sume the line Of conduct that compelled the
nnas T..iona1 Government to send him beyond oar
EFFECT ABROAD.
Nor will the election Of Mr.. Va11audighau2
be hailed with less satisfaction IN Canada and
England than in South Carolina and Virgioia.
Canada Will illuminate In celebration Of tbs
event, and give full swing to the joy-bells Of
her town halls and churches. The London
1anes-sta.tled little and brought to Its
der Of NPemberton and Gardner, and the
Greek fire that brought home her doom to
Charleston, and awakened her at midnight to
the consciousness Of her crime and the pun-
ithment It eupremely merits-the London
1inss, on is being te1egraphed from Liver;
Governor Of Ohio, viii b: itself again; and
over this check and disparagement to the na-
iional Government viii plunge into the Wild
