val1ANpIGHam,s P1cTunE.

has recently had its attention called to what
1t styles the pcstisesous record Of Vallandts- |
ham, aud hus become so dfsgustcd thcrcwith /
that it declares the gentleman from Ohio to |
he an unfit person to be admitted to the Phil |
ndclphia Convention. It demands that he !!
shall not present himself, and that in case he |
does so, that he be denied aimittancc.
Mr.. Doolittlc, who is the putatiyc father of |
the Convention, In his speech at Madison
last week, asserted that the only tcst.tlat |
would be applied to delegates, would be one
pertaining to their present state Of mind, !
and having no reference to any hostile rela-
tions the delegate may have sustained
towards the Union. Tallandigham went to
Washington some weeks ago, giving out on
his way that lis purpose was to ndyisc the
President to appoint John B. Weller, Secrc-
tary Of War; but Val1and'gham was denied
an audience with the President, and follow
ing this denial appeared the ottlciul dcclara.
tion that he was not to be tolerated In the
Convention. Iu his speech to the Kentucky
Democrats at Louisville, while thanking God
that aM accident Gllcd the Presidential c1,als
With man who Is not 4 Radical, he took &C.
cusion to add that Johnson's history while a
Democrat, WIS tie history of a dcnagoEuc.
He has shown himself on all occasions to be
man who, nt least to the extent Of words,
will not take an Insult without returning It
with interest, and who will not submit to m
indignity without rcsenttng 1t. Vallaudtg-
ham asserts his claim to q scat in the
Convention, as the regularly chosen
und appointed delegate, having
for his constituents stronger and more
devoted friends Of union with the Southern
delegates, than arc to be found in Gny other
dis1rict north Of the Ohio River. Knowing
these things, and knowing that any possible
hoyc the tncrc basketful Of Jahuson men In
Ohio may have to carry precinct, rests upon
the zeal with which he aud his friends may
engage In the united battle, he, with great
pr0pricty, turns upon Ills advcrsartcs aud
tells them rome wholesome truths. III order
10 understand the exact bearing Of the heavy
structures of Val1anligllam's letter, II should
be borne in mind that the great feature In
tho Convention will be the delegations from
the rcbcl States. Each Of those States will
! tctl,l mp double delegation. and Of the whole
! number there viii not probably bc more
than half dozen. If Indeed so

any Office under the United States.
| So far from the reasonable antcccdcnts Of
these Southern delegates In amy way inter.
ftring with their admission, their welcome
and tho tclus Of their presence will to great
extent br proportioncd to their distinction IN
the rebel service. The Vicc.Prcsidcnt Of the
con!cderacy will hc conspicuous; the hoMors
shown General Dick Taylor, will only be
eclipsed by those paEl to some greater rebel
hero. Like the conventions Of reformed In
cbrlates, where the man who can boast Of q
longer life Of degradation md crime is Of
course thc most honorcl. so ut Philadelphia,
tie longest unl bloodicst record Of treason
will cntttlc It's posscssor to the highest scat
in tho temple. With this explanation the
following sentences from Vallandiglam'a
letter will be luorc easily understood; he
