:. Theplan and purpose Of vau.ndigham aud
his copfedcrates, in hn1ing him come back in
ahe manner he has TO Ohio, are not hard to
discover It Is plain that they could not
Lave brought him back with any hope OF
thereby Strengthening the coPperhead ticket
in the approaching political campaign. Inc
popularity Of Vallandigham, and the pf1nca-
ples and conduct he represents and advocated,
have very recently been brought to the test
an the State Of Ohio, and have been 80 en-
rhatically condemned by the people that 1t
would be the height Of folly for any party to
adopt lis principles, or have nyth1ng TO 40
with him, unless for the purpose OF securing
defeat in the shortest and surest way.
u party was fully bent on tax
ing its own lie, and determined
on tho quickest seu-destruction, II
il sought to be detested in Ohio by some
such overwhelming majority as one hundred
thousand, 1t might take up such man as
vallsudiehnm. Butto suppose for An Instant
that any party would identify themselves
with such notoriously obnoxious aud mn"
popular leader, 4 perpetual outcast nnd IN
eudurable stencil in the nostrills OF I'll lne
people as Vallaudighnm, with the nope OF
carr, ing an election with him, is to believe
item borr1t Of all sense, and gone utterly
crazy. No party could ask their opponents to
do ioolisher or wilder thing than to identi-
5y their cause with such nun as Vallandigg-
ham, for in no other way could they rush
htadlonr On such inevitable aud overwhelm-
Ing defeat.
It was evidently not with any hope Of max
Ing political capital out Of It that the arch
Coppcrbcad has BEEN brought back. The
only probable 1casou we can see for his re-
turn, is the hope which he with his sccesh
friends North and South have always enter
tained. and often avowed, to excite civil dis
turbancc. insurrection and bloQdshed In the
Northwest, and thus bring important aid and
anccor 10 the rebellion. Vallenoigham
knows that the great majority Of the people
repndiate and abhor both him aud his princi-
nlcs: but he knows also there is in our
midst malignant and reasonable minority
rcady for apY work Of crime or blood that
may promise advantage to the rebellion, and
the purpose Of his return is to urge this
dcsperate class forward to resistance and vic.
lence, and plunge them Into war upon the
Government. The plot is not altogether
without promise OF success; and If 1t could
be well set agoing and carried through,
would furnish as much help TO the rebellion,
and serve 1t as effectually as anything thas
could bc devised The eyes Of traitors in the
South nre often turned to the Northwest
with cager longing to see insurrec tion AMI
civil war break out IN our midst. The!
could discover nothing which would Civ
them such great joy, and so renew their sink
Ing courage. If yallandigham and tn
traitors who are kindred with hin
could only bring about riots, resist
znce to law, and armed risings agains
the Government, they would do more t.
hold up the fAiling cause Of the ConfederacJ
ard secure it new lease Of life, than u
reasonably be expected from either Of th
rebel armies. Unless all the signs deceir
us, the present campaign will be the last
the rebellion. Defeated now they will nevt
be able 10 rally again force enough to Will
stand our armies. The united North is moi
than match tor the rebellion. Their las
aud enly hope of enccess Is in dividing US
ard It Is to bring about this division; to e.
cite conflict and bloodshed In our midst
and turn our swords and bsyouets againf
ourselves in place Of having then all arrayc
III rrsistless and united strength against rel
els, that this arch-traitor and conspitatc
las como back. Devoted heart md soul t
the rebellion; tu1l Of treason from the crow
OF his head TO the soles Of his feet; havin
10 ambition in life but TO serve the Confe'
e.sey, and no hope but to gain Its sewar'
and wear the 1ono1s It gives, Vallandigha
Is willing to risk all, that he may give Il
Confedcracy the victory He is back aga
in Ohio that he may excite bloodshed n
r!Aiae civil FAR. On him and the success
ILLS efforts the rebellion rests Its LIST hope
for, II the North cannot be divided, i
strength weakened, and its armies reduce
and called back, the rebellion must so unde
