The Peace Pairio. yalundighom,

| Vallandioham having been first nominated
for Governor of Ohio by rebel paper, and
| his nomination having been confirmed by q
so-called Democratic State Convention in Ohio,
his record is manifestly in order, and is clearly
adopted and Endorsed by those who have made
| him their candidate. There can be no furth-
err shifting of responsibilities and lodging OF
nrinciples His record ought hardly to be the
subject of dispute, with any one. lie has
been pronounced in bis opposition to the War
from the beginning; has declared 1t wrong
and wicked, denounced the call for 75,OOU
volunteers for the defense OF Washington, and
has in every imaginable way manifested sym
pathv. not with the Union, but with the reb-
eI armies. He has made multitudes OF speech
es denouncing the Constitutional Government,
and the acts and doings GIFTS officers, has de-
nounced every measure and every act winch
bore upon the rebels and the rebellion, While
at the same time he has wasted no breath III
denouncing the pretended government OF the
Confederacy, or the outrages committed by
its officers and agents.
Tie has done no act, said no word to elnbar-
rass the rebels, but has said and done all that
malice or ingenuity could invent to embar-
rass the Constitutional authorities. q br1ei
reference to a point or two will suffice for the
present. In his sheech made at Dayton on
| the I'd of August, 1862, he used the following
language: I'VE copy from his record, page

This is Vallandigham's own declaration,
and is certainly conclusive. Not soldier,
nor sailor, has received one dime OF pay since
the rebels precipitated war at Fort Sumter, by
the vote of Mr. Vallandigham.
But more than this even. In preceding
paragraph of the same speech, Nallandlgham
confessed that his whole future was contm-
gent upon the failure Of suppressing OF the re-
bellion by force of arTns-and if upon that
failure, necessarily, upon the success OF the
rebels He deliberately declared, III speaking
of the war:
eff it CHE war; is successful in maintaining
the Constitution and restoring the Union,
will make full open, explicit confession that
| was wrong-utterly, totally wrong, and
will retire to private life for the residue OF my
days" X "a &4lN +.
This was no more nor less than an open
declaration, that all his ambitious schemes for
the future all his hopes Of success, honor
fame place, position hinged upon the failure
of the National armies to subdue the rebellion.
If so. that failure, and if the failure, then the
success Of the rebels which must follow the
failure, constituted his sole hope OF selt-glory
for the future Can mortal man conceive how
q man, standing on such platform, refusing
to vote men or money, and consentlng to eY-
erastine banishment from public life if the
rebels were subdued and the Union saved,
could be any other than a rebel sympathzer:
could be any other than such as the Chat
tanoora Rebel declared him to be-"OUR
STYLE OF MANI"
Yet this man Vallandigham is to-day the
standard bearer of the democracy OF ONO,
their candidate for Governor OF the third State
in the Union. The friend OF the rebels, the
man who has denounced every war measure
since the rebels levied war upon the country,
now within the rebel lines, compimented by
leading rebel papers, his speeches IN clrcula-
ton all through Dixie, and yet presented t6
the people of Ohio as a candidate for their sui
frages for the highest office in their gift Ills
nomination of itself is a shame and disgrace
to the state, while his election would be ~
