While snch men As JEssk d. BRIGHT.

VALLANpIGHAM claim to be the best
Union men in the country, the Rebels
claim them with pride ~ belonging on
their side Of the question. Their claims
are certainly we'll founded. There is no
installing their position. A recent num-
Der Of the Jackson Mississippian uses
the following language in regard TO them.
and certain newspapers, which also claim
to be loyal:
"Have our neighbors read the Chicago
Times, New York Express, Metropolitan
Record, Cincinnati Enquirer, and vari-
GUS other papers in the North which are
exponents Of opposition to Lincoln.
Have they read the speeches Of Bright,
Voorhees,, Warrick and various others?
Have they ever found in any of these
papers, or speeches, . syllable that did
breathe the most orthodox States right
doctrine and opposition to coercion
These are the men We wish to encourage,
and these arc the men whose success wilt
bring peace"
"These are the men We wish to encour-
age" says the Mississippian. But why
encourage VOORHEES, and Vallandigham?
Evidently, because they are considered
rs doing good service for the Rebel
cause, and rs being in full sympathy with
its designs. As a consequence. they are
to be encouraged rs efficient allies of tie
Southern conspirators. in their Internal
design of destroying the Government
The compliment is we'll bestowed on ou
Representative, and he will doubtless &c
kno wledge it as such. The Rebels hold
his public services in high estimation, and
dasire to encourage him, as faithful
friend and ally in the same cause.-the
destruction Of the Federal Union. and
the organization Of Southern Confed-
eracy whose corner stonc is to be African
Slavery.
In another instance, recently, South
ern man writes, over his own signature,
to the Baltimore American deprecating
the pernicious influence of these North
ern tories, on the Rebel cause. He says:
Il have been resident Of the State OF
Mississippi for more than twenty three 4
years, was there on the breaking out Of :
the rebellion, and till long after the fail
oil Vicksburg, and I know something
about the precious influence Of the spec
ches of the pretended peace party of tn,
North on the Rebels of the South. They
have done more by their clamor for peace
to prolong this bloody struggle than any
other single cause touching the war. And
by their false pretentions ofhorror at tlc
great slaughter Of human life in this lr
they have indirectly deem the cause Of
the untimely death Of tens Of thousan Is
of their fellow citizens If have any
prejudices in this matter, my early asso-
Citations through life would predispose
me to side with the South But sec
no redeeming features in this unholy re-
bellion."
To argue further that these men arc in
sympathy with the Rebels, and working
for the success Of the casue, would be
superduous. It is what every ca,did
persons will admit, and what the rebels
all know. There record 10 shameful
