With such endorsement our Demo-

uineness of the book. We ask every
honest man who intends. to support
Vallandigham, to examine the record
for himself, and see what Yallandig-
hams principles are, and what his acts
have been, and not to depend upon
what any political speaker or leader
says of him. t
We ask the friends of the Union to
take this record and distribute it, Civ

extracts may be found: 'e..
'VALLANDIGHAM A SOUTHERN
'SYMPATIIIZER. -
In a speech delivered in the Con-
gress of the United State entitled
" There is West" Mr.. Valfandigham
made the following declaration which
will be found on. page 43 of the record :
i am not a Northern man. Ihave
little sympathy with the North, no
very good feeling for, and am bound
to her by no tie whatsoever, other than
what once were and ought always to
be the strongest Of ties--a common Ian
guage and common country. X i 4
Then, sir, am not Southern man
either,-although in this unholy and
most unconstitutional crusade against
the South, in the midst of the invasion,
arson, instruction, and murder, to
which she has been subject, and with
which she is still hreatcned-with the
torch of the incendiary and the dagger
of the assassin suspended over her
my most cordial sympathies are whoLy
,cih her." ..-..
