The telegraph on yesterday brought to US The news
that Vallandigbam had suddenly appeared at the Demo
cratic Convention in Hamilton, Ohio that he has
been elected delegate to the Democratic Convention
which is TO meet it Chicago to nominate candida te
for President and Vice President Of the socaled Jul
ted States and that the Convention at Hamilton has
pledged the Democracy of The to defend him and
his Individual rights under the constitution. We are
also informed by the Dispatch that this persecuted
and outraged man had left Ii amiio for his home 10
Dayton, AID that fears entertained Of an outbreak
tt At the Convention in Hamilton, it is said he
was urged to discretion else Lincoln might deprive
him of lie, or again of his liberty
The sudden advent of this persecute man into Ohio
there is no doubt bas created great sensation ia that
State, as well as throug bout the whole OF Lire Dln's
doHlirions. Should the Democracy OF tbe West keep
the pledge which has been made for them by the Ham
ilton Convention, in the event that his person shall be
seZ by Lincoln, there will be exciting times through
oot the whole West and especially in Ohio " e pre-
sumo, however, that Mr.. Vaandigham will be, as he
has been urged to be, discreet and in such case Liz
coin will also be dic1 eet. The latter, backed though
he is By hired sodiery is rot as powerful row as he
was when, time ego, through the unprncped and
dasterdy Gen. Burnside, he laid violent hands upon
the great Ohio commoner, deprived him of bis liberty,
banshed him from bis king Jon, and committed other
D ghs 1pcon us P poT a oandd Ioe''d for
re -eectOn, and degraded the people
of The North and West have become, under the irfI-
enc4s of his administration of the Federal government
The 1aVOT; Ole opportunity DO" presented tu6u Vi gt-
ting rid of The yraDt they, from the signs of the times
appear oesirous Of embracing and any renewed prse-
cution or oppression OF Va!a0dgham, will kndle
flame he caurot easily subdue, and further
put in jeopardy his chances for reelection. At
least, If all manhood has departed from the DemOc
racy of the North, they will resist tie bloody despot in
any effort lie may make either TO imprson VaIlandig
ham, or to take bis life.
There is however, another view which must be taken
of tn tf5ct8 which must result by The return OF Val
l@ndigham to lis hons, and his being permitted by
Lincoln to remain there. HG has already been
elec,ed dceg ate to the Chicago Democratic Couven-
ton. This iudicates-,nay, gives the s.u!Guce-that
he designs to part ci gate Vey iha Presidential

been bagd with Gccagnat0n by the people. Ii Is well
