Go HI Val.

Vallandigham, the ex-Canadian
excursionist, and present Comman.
der-in- Chief of the Copperhead forces
of Ohio, recently, in a speech, de-
clared that he expected to be elected
to the United States Senate by an
Ohio Democratic Legislature. This
announcement was received with a
yell of joy by his hearers and it
seemed fully to meet with their
views.
What do soldiers think of having
Val. go 10 the United States Senate?
During the war while there he re-
fused to "vote a man or a dollar" to
carry on the war. After his term
in the Senate was out he, "from over
the border" run for Governor of
Ohio. Then he declared that we
"could not conquer the South" that
he had travelled throughout the Con-
fede-acy and had not found a man
woman or child but what was willing
to die in the last ditch for their prin-
ciples.
Soldiers and citizens, do you want
c. L. Vallandigham sent from Ohio
to the Senator Did you not bury
him under a majority of 100, 900
votes when he wanted to be Cover
nor of the great State of OhiO-do
you think he would disgrace the
State and its loyal people less in the
Legislative halls at Washington !?
Val. is the head and front of the De-
mocracy and they dare not deny it.
Should that party be successful this
Fall in carrying the State Legislature,
he would be put forward as the rep
resentatiye man of the party. and
would receive the highest hOnors
possible to confer upon him.
Val. wants the position before
and We are glad that he
Gays he expects it. Such declarations
will do more to keep the Reputation
Democracy out of power than any
other one thing. People never seek
for the itch that they may have the
pleasure of scratching.

A special dispatch to the Cinein-

A special dispatch to the Cinein-
natl Gazette, says:
One of party of gentlemen who
recently had atalk with Hon. E. d.
Washburn, reports his remarks
about Gen. Grant as wholly in sym
pathy with Congress and its plan of
reconstruction. TO particular in
quIry, he replied that he considered
him not only in favor of thorough
reconstruction as advanced men un-
derstand it, but in favor of standing
by the blacks in all their civil, social
and political rights as conferred by
the reconstruction acts. He was in
constant consultation with Secretary
Stanton, Mr.. Washburn affirms, in re-
gard to the lately impending change
in the Cabinet, receiving notice from
Stanton just before he went out that
his dismissal would soon take place,
and was urged by him to accept the
place. Not only was this the case,
said Mr.. Washburn, but | know that
the letters from Grant to both the
President and Secretary,were written
by Grant himself upon consultation
with and in full knowledge of Mr..
Stanton. Mr.. Washburn futher re-
marked that he should have deemed
it criminal negligence in Gen. Grant
not to have accepted the place under
the circumstances, and that it is now
his duty to remain until the meeting
of Congress, even though the Presi- |
dent may want to get rid of him.
Mr.. Washburn further represented
that Gen. Grant was filed with as
great apprehension for the safety of
the country as any man could be. He
had remarked that when in war he
was comparatively easy about the re-
suit. He knew what was to be the end
and made his preparations ac-
cordingly; now he was filled with
alarm; he could not foretell what
would trsnspire from day to day,
and such anxiety he had never before
lad. So urgent had he been that
Congress should do its full duty at
he last session, that he personally

Copperhead vs.. Copperhead.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Ohio Cop
perhead) wants the greenback cur
rency to be enormously increased by
paying off the bonded debt with it.
The National Intelligencer wash
ington Copperhead) says:
No part of the country will really
suffer more from a further currency
imitation than the agricultural west.
An imitation must be followed by a
collapse, and the farmers will suffer
from it. The farmers and laborers
must pay higher prices for every
thing they purchase when the cur
rency is redundant. Neither wages
nor wheat rise in proportion to the
increase of the general scale of pri-
ces; and this has been signally prov
ed by our experience for the last
six years.
All producers must suffer from an
imitation of the currency. Every dol
lar added to the present large vol
ume of paper will be an additional
tax upon the country. lrt
Bankrupt spectators may profit
by the imitation of currency and of
prices. They hope to be able to
discharge their obligations in paper,
worth half as much as the currency
in which their debts were contracted.
These are the only classes in the
country who are to be benefited by
the proposition Of an addition to the
amount OF paper currency.
This currency-bond issue was
raised alone in Ohio for the purpose
of drawing off the attention of the
people from the Constitutional
Amendment. The National Intelli-
gencer can't understand it as our
Ohio Copperheads do and thinks it
would work ruin to the country.

Hon. VIM. Mungen, in his speech
Thursday night, one week ago, pro-
posed, as one of the Democratic law

ing and that their prospect is bright
We hope they may feel well till the

for Governor, his success was prOph-

In regard to reconstruction the
Democracy have been denunciatory
in their assertions that we hold no
right to tax the South without it was
represented-that if the rebels were
not allowed to vote for Representa-

should not be taxed. While pitying

Vallandigham's Definition of
Loyalty.

Loyalty.
The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
a speech made 10y Vallandigham a
few days since at Maysville, KY
The following extract-some portions
of which We italicise-shows the
feelings he entertains toward the 10y
al portion of our country:
81 am Buckeye, was born Buck
eye, but thank God, my parents were

throttle me to keep me from proclaim
ing their glory and greatness (Cheer
ing) Speaking of Loyalists, 1 re
member when boy, how ! listened
to the old revolutionary patriots talk
ing about Loyalists; how their eyes
would flash with anger. The other
name for Loyalist was Tory, and the
Loyalists of this day are no better"
Soldiers, what think you of this ?
Are you no better than tories and
traitors +? According to Vallandig-
ham and the Democratic party you
are not. Now, soldiers, remember
that this man Yallandigham is one of
the acknowledged leaders and great
men OF the Democratic party of Ohio.
Rememb Der that at the election this fall
we are to elect Senators and Repre-
to our next State Legisla
ture. Remember that the Democrats
are strainins every nerve to elect
their candidates. Remember that
the Democratic party endorses and
sustains Vallandigham in all that he
says and does. Remember that they
are pledged if they can carry the
at the ensuing election,
10 elect Vallandigham to the United
States Senate as successor to that
sound, loyal man, Ben. Wade. Now
hen, are you prepared to vote for a
party and for men who say that
your comrades, who died in battle,
lobly, herolcally fighting with you
md by your sides for our country,
sleep in traitors graves ? We think

The Dog Has Returned to His
XODif Again.

We noticed, last week, that the
Ohio Statesman had come out with
"for giving the negro the right to
vote and hold oflice-Yes," but now
discover that it has gone astray again
and put in the No. The Statesman
should learn its own mind before il
makes move, and particularly the
mind of its own party, if that move
is toward the right, as in this care.

Judge Thurman, Democratic can
didate for defeat, during the war
sympathised with rebel soldiers and
did all possibe-and that was a great
deal, as he is rich man-to furnish
them with substantial comfort. ''If
you need help, call on Judge Thur
man." read numerous letters from
rebels in the South to their friends
and relatives in prison at Columbus.
How do the brave, loyal soldiers of
Ohio like the idea of such a man be-
ing elected Governor of this great
and loyal State Wen bet our pile
"A small one--that they don't like
it. They are not apt to run after a
man who had no sympathy with them
in time of trial, but reserved it all
for their rebel enemies. "Hurrah
for Thurman" say rahals 4" Down
with the rebels friends say Ohio
soldiers.

Binckley, Johnson's man, wrote
and is sending out to Government
officials, the pompous proclamation
admonishing everybody in the SER
vice of the Government to obey the
Constitution. In 1861, Binckley was
in the service of the Government in
a more humble and less conspicuous
place than that he now fills. He was
required to take an oath to "defend
and support the Constitution" which
he declined to do. Possibly the Con-
stitution is construed differently now
than at that time.

Judge Thurman has been asked by
the Cincinnati Enquirer and many
Democrats and Republicans to define
his position on the question of paying
off the bonded debt in greenbacks.
Thus far in several speeches the fol
lowing is his declared position
"There is another point 1 have not
time now to speak of-the policy of
paying bonds of the Government in
greelbacks. can only say now, so
far As can see, there is no legal
objection to it. At the same time,
as a question Of policy, it requires to
be carefully handled, and the curren-
rency of the country should not be
improperly and too suddenly inflated.
The question is, not to produce too
great an imitation Of currency. | am
sorry that what have to say on that
subject, for publication, must re-
serve for some future time"
The paragraph given above would
be well enough in one, or even two
speeches, but to be repeated IN five
or six, or more, looks as though he
wished to dodge the side issue his
friends have thrust forth. The fact
is that the Judge don't like green
backs and now thinks, as during the
war, that they will be worthless. He
can't see any legal objection, bu:
thinks the question requires careful
handling. Thurman won't define his
position on this question-till after
the election. He fears it will lessen
his vote.

| A Warning to Young Men

You are just starting in life, with
the world all before you where and
how to choose. Beware how you
connect your fortunes with decayed
and dishonored party indelibly stsin-
ed with treason, and upon whose
tombstone the historian will write
"False to liberty, false to its country
and false to the age in which it lived"
The Democratic party has COM
mitted a crime for which history has
no pardon, and the memories of men
no forgetfnlness; whose colors grow
darker from age to age, and for
which the execrations of mankind
become more bitter from generation
to goneration.--Gov. MORTON.

States Rights.

The Democratic State stumpers,
and more particularly Geo. III. Pen
dle.on, are talking about States
Rights, and in doing this virtually
take the ground thst the Constitution
is an article of no weight whatever.
From what they say nothing can be in
ferred but that the Constitution is an
instrument the construction of which
and its bearing upon the rights of
States depends solely upon whatev-
er idea such States may entertain.
That none of them are held by it on
| ly so far as it accords with their ideas
of State Sovereignty. George Wash
ington, President of the Convention
that adopted the Constitution, in a
letter accompanying that document
when it was submitted to Congress,
said
{" 1t is obviously impracticable, IN
the federal government of these
states, to secure all rights of inde-
pendent sovereignty to each, and yet
provide for the interest and safety of
all. individuals entering into soci-
ETY., must give up share of liberty
to preserve the rest. In all our de-
liberations on this subject, We kept
steadily in our view, that which apsi
pears to us the greatest interest or
every true American, the consolida-
ton of our Union, in which is involv-
ed our prosperity, felicity, and safe
ty, perhaps our national existence.
That is Washington's idea of the
Constitution.
In the preamble it is said.
aWe, the people of the United
States. in order to form a more per-
feet union, establish justice &c, &C.,
and secure the blessing of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do Or
dain and establish this constitution
for the United States of America"
Thus it will be seen that the peo-
ple-of all the States-established
the Constitution to establish a more
perfect Union-one that could not
be broken up by any one State and
one that should be as lasting as all
time. By the above extracts it will
be seen that, Pendleton, etc. to the
contrary, that the Constitution was
to preserve the Union and not leave
it to be blasted by the breath of any
one or half dozen States.
