for saying that Vallandigham ought in
strict justice to be sent out Of the coun-
try, but that we believe more CALLING
punishment would be not to notice him.
In this We expressed simply our opin-
ion Of the right course to be pursued
toward the Would-be martyr, and than
stated what We thought would punish
him worse than anything else.
The Times says we have no opinion Of
our own. We have, on ell subjects, and
on this ii is, that VallAndigham ought to

would have come for . trial Of strength
between the Government and its foes in
the North.
The Times, on behalf Of its party, or
in other words, Of the Knights Of the
Golden Circle, makes the following
threat, a Ia BombAstss Farioso:
