Very respectfully,
C. L. VALLANDIGuAM.


VALLAND1euAM.- The Wheeling Intcli-
gencer says of the Ohio traitor that it is a
wonder that this traitor is tolerated on the
face Of the earth, much more that he is al
lowed to sit in Congress, like Catalina in the
Roman Senate, plotting all sorts of devilish
hindrances and underhanded stabs to the
struggle for our national existence. It is a
wonder some Charlotte Coyday, bereft IF a
brother, has not met him coming out of bis
path, as Danton was met. It is a wonder
some Orsini bereft of son, has not waited
in the crowd for him. 1t is a wonder that
some society Of Car bonari, bereft of coun-
try, have not ENROLLED him.
Brutus slew man for treason in the cap
itol, whose lowest characteristics would en-
noble Vallandigham.

The Revival OF an Historical Fact.

The La Crosse (Wisconsin) Democrat re-
views the fact that on the 22nd of April,
1862, Mr.. G. L. Vallandigham addressed a
letter to the mild, benevolent, humane, mar
tyred Abraham Lincoln, inclosing an article
from the Wheeling (Virginia) htezzigencer,
which advocated the assassination Of him
(Mr Vallandigham. 1t was copied with
approval into the Cleveland Co., Leader.
The editors of both papers were postmasters
under Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Vallandigham sug
gested that the latter remove from Office those
who thus melted murder of political oppo-.
nents. Mr.. Lincoln paid no attention to the
request, but continued to give them his pat
ronage. Three years after, in the same
month, he himself fell by the hand of an as
sassin-a victim to the instrumentality that
he had been invoked in vain to discounte-
nance by withdrawal of his support. Here
is the correspondence alluded to:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, !,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April ~, 1862.
To the Hon. Abrahan, Lincoln, President
Of the United States: .
SIR Il enclose you an article which ap-
peared originally in the Wheeling Intelligent
GER, and was copied into the Cleveland Lead
er with appreciation. It is an open and
direct invitation to assassination. It needs
no comment and admits of no explana-
ton. The editor of the Iute1igencer and
the editor Of the Leader both hold re-
sponsible Offices under your administration,
the one being postmaster at Wheeling and
the other postmaster at Cleveland. Conf
dent that you must look with horror upon
any attempt to introduce or to incite to sys-
tenn Of assassination for differences Of political
opinions, or even for political offences in this
country and desire no assassins or aiders or
abettors of assassins in Office under you, I
deem it only necessary to submit the article
to your consideration

RESTITUTION ExrRAoRD1NARY.-Mond.

RESTITUTION EXTRAORDINARILY Monday
night John Sidney, who keeps in Fore street,
was accosted by man with Trunk on his
back who desired to leave the same with
John for while for safe keeping. John
readily consented, but what was his surprise
to discover shortly after that it was the iden-
tical trunk well filled with his own clothing
that had been stolen from him on the night
of the great fire. This was funny enough,
but soon after along came woman enquir-
ing if man had been seen going past with a
trunk, John replied in the affirmative, and
exhibited the trunk in question, which the
woman at once declared was her own and
had been stolen from her by murtherin'
hound" John clings to the trunk thus sin
gularly returned to him.

when On the 9TH day of December, 1863 the

when on the 4th day of December, 1865, the |
thirty ninth Congress assembled.
Nearly eight months have elapsed since that
time, and no other plan having been propos-
ed by Congress, for the measures instituted
by the Executive, it is now declared IN the
joint resolution submitted foe my approval,
that the State of Tennessee is hereby restor-
ed to her former practical relations with the
Union, and is again entitled to be represent
ed by Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress. Tins, after the lapse of nearly eight
months, Congress proposes to pave the way
to the admission of the Representatives OF
one OF the eleven States whose people array
ed themselves in rebellion against the consti-
tutional authority of the Federal Govern
ment. 49, 1919. -u -tttH
Earnestly desiring to relieve every cause of
further delay, whether real or imaginary, on
the part of Congress, to the admission to their
seats of loyal Senators and Representatives
from the State of Tennessee, have, not
Withstanding the anomalous character of this
proceeding, affixed my signature to the reso-
luton. MY approval however, is not to be
CONSTRUED as an acknowledgment of the
. Ilgnt oI congress to pass law preliminary
TO the admission OF duly qualified Representa-
yves from any Oh the States, neither is 1t to
be considered as committing me to all the
statements made in the preamble, some of
which are, in my opinion, without founda-
ton in fact, especially the assertion that the
State of Tennessee has ratified the amend
mendment to the Constitution of the United
States, proposed by the 39th Congress. No
official notice of such ratification has been re-
ceived by the Executive or filed IN the De-
partment of State. On the contrary, unoffi-
cial information from most reliable sources,
induces the belief that the amendment has
not yet been constitutionally sanctioned by
the Legislature of Tennessee
The right of each House, under the Con-
stitution, to judge of the election returns and
qualifications of its own members is undoubt-
3D. and my approval or disapproval of the
resolution, could not in the slightest degree in
crease or diminish the authority in this res
pect conferred upon the two branches of Con-
gress. el ssa ~ "' sa'g
oa In conclusion, 1 cannot too earnestly repeat
my recommendation for admission of Tenn
essee and all other states to fair and equal
participation in the national legislature, when
they present themselves in the persons Of
loyal senators and representatives, who can
comply with all the requirements of the Con-
stitution and laws. By this means harmony
and reconciliation will be effected, the practi-
cal relations of all the States to the Federal
government re-established, and the work of
restoration inaugurated upon the termination
of the war, successfully completed.

Extra Session of the Legislature.
From the Biddeford journal July 20.]

1t has been proposed in certain quarters
that the Governor should call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature for the purpose of
renting to the city of Portland a proper
ton of its State tax for this year. Such a
suggestion is eminently wise and proper,
and we hope the Governor will issue his
proclamation to that effect forthwith. The
State tax of that city is $I64,00O, based up
on valuation of $2l 1866 600. one half Of
which taxable property is destroyed; and
in addition to the loss by fire, the burden OF
the tax at this time will weigh down with
great severity. 1t is not only to be urgep
from the standpoint of humanity, and the
fostering care due to our unfortunate citi-
zens, but to our self-interest as State. The
valuation of Portland is nearly one-eighth
of the whole taxable property of the State.
The disaster reduces that valuation to one
fifteenth. To enable the city to recover as
soon as possible to its original position up
on our tax lists, is imperative economy.
But we do not propose to argue question
not debatable because of the unanimity of
those who are to pass upon it. ga,lr
Another proposition needing the aid of
immediate law is the limited power of the
City Government of Portland necessary to
buy lands for the purpose of making and
widening streets They have voted to Pc
tition the Legislature to grant them power
for such purpose, and they should at once
receive the proper authority for in few
weeks it will be too late. h t
Incidental to an extra session will be the
ratification of the Constitutional Amend
ment. We say "incidental," because we
do not consider its ratification under the
present circumstances would warrant the
cost of assembling the Legislature. But if
a session is to be held, it is proper that the
Amendment should be acted upon. What
ever weight may be attached in doubtful
States to the assertion that the present Leg
islatures were not elected upon this issue, it
has no weight in Maine. She Is not a
doubtful State, and the dominant party of
Maine are expressly pledged to that amend
ment, while there is not man from Kittery
to Calais who will hazard his reputation by
saying that its ratification, whether by this
Legislature or the next, will not meet the
approval of an overwhelming majority of
the State. i4
In this dear old State the copperheads
and the Johnson coppertails combined have
no power, and as Walpole said of an Eng
lish politician, "they may not expect to be
trusted or forgiven until they have passed
from this world to the next"
God bless the Commonwealth.

Our Southern Friends,


twas our duty few days ago, to comment
upon brace of anonymous letters received
by gentlemen in this city, since the fre-let-
tiers which for brutality and indecency take
the palm from anything we remember to
have read. It is now our more pleasing task
to recognize and reproduce an expression Of
genuine kindness, emanating like one of the
letters referred to, from Richmond, Virginia.
The Rev. James w. Hunnicutt is well known
to many of our readers. Over eighty copies
of his Journal published at Richmond, are
taken by subscribers in this city. Through
out the South, we are glad to believe, there
are many, very many good men, who will
share the feelings which found expression in
the New Nation, as follows G,ts !.
We were deeply panied to see the newspa-
per account of the awful fire and tremendous
destruction of property in the city of Portland
To us, the citizens of Portland were so kind
liberal, and sympathizing, that we can't ex.
press our deep feeling of sorrow at the terrible
calamity which has befallen them. To the
loyal citizens of Portland, the white Unionists
OF this city, the colored people of this city-and
GIl6 lTlcuuS VI ICCuOhl3
are largely indebted for the only loyal paper
published in Richmond: THE NEW NATION
We say, God bless the citizens of Portland,
and when we say this, we say what we mean
and mean what we say, and it comes from
as grateful, true. and sincere heart as ever
throbbed in the bosom of Southern man.
Cannot, and will not the citizens of Rich
mond, white and colored, do something ex-
pressive of their sympathy and kind feeling
toward the suffering people Of Portland?-
Struggling as we are between being and an
Inhalation, we will give twenty-five dollars
towards raising any sum from one hundred
dollars and upwards. Come, friends, let us
raise one hundred dollars at least to COM
mence with. We are all miserably poor, it is
true, but let us for once make little sacrifice,
and rise superior to poverty, and do little
something, simply to manifest our good will
and sincere sympathy, if no more. W
Our friends in Portland have the warmest
sympathies of our heart, and our sincere prayer
is, that the Father of all mercies may bless
them, and that good men everywhere may
uelp
