now DO YOU LIKE 1T?

Everybody has heard of Vallandig-
ham, the great leader Of the Democrat
ic party in Ohio-the man who was ar
rested by Gen. Burnside for treason,
was tried by military commission and
convicted, made application TO the civ
il courts, which courts confirmed the
decision of the military court; the same
man who was then banishe instead of
being put to death, as he should have
been. This man is now making speech
es for his party, and will be the candi-
date of the party for United States Sen
ator. Vallandigbam made speech
recently at Maysville, Ky. This speech
gives the true doctrines of the Demo
cratic party. A portion of this speech
was published in the Jackson Herald last
week, with approval. We take the fol-
lowing from the Herald:
Only few years ago, on this very
spot, the man who addresses you would
have been hung had he attempted to
express the sentiments he does tonight
and in noble old Kentucky ladies were
driven into exile for daring to adhere to
the doctrines of our fathers. Behold
the progress of the nation. Tonight
speak to Kentucky freemen-I am a
free man myself Prolonged cheers !
Be true, Kentuckians, cheered by the
smiles of Kentucky women, to the stand
you have taken. The nation needs
your example. Across the river in my
own native State, and in the native
State of my fathers-now in her widow

Virginia. That birthplace of Washing

E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. TDeaf-
ening cheers. Aye, these are noble
names, and no loyal wretch shall close
my mouth from speaking the praises of
these men, who, however mistaken
they may have been, were a thousand
times more honorable and true to the
principles ofhuman liberty than thou.
sands who call them traitors. Thei'
names will live in history as noble rep

are my fellow-citizens, and to-day they
seek to be with US, members of one
common republic Their fame will
swell the grand aggregate of that which
composes and lives in history, and will
live to the remotest syllable of recorded
time.
My hearts desire and prayer is for the
restoration of this Government as it
was, | would have the Constitution
of our fathers. 1t was good enough
for them and it would be good enough
for us, and for generations unborn.
Give us our liberties again; aye, we
will have them-understan that, loyal
men, Cheers, and cries "That we
will"1 =
LoyIl men, with scorn and contempt

my boyhood associated with anything

but never heard any man boast of his
loyalty till this war came about.
