THE eEvrEBn4v TR0lr oAN4D4

is about to undergo the unWllIIuS nuulAL-
iation of toIerating the presence of Val
Iandigham. On nearly every wall and /
gate-post the fact IS published and pro
claimed. to the infinite disgust Of all /
patriotic men, that our loyal soil is
about to be profaned by the Shiny /
track of this malOdorous. malicious and
traltorous chief OF Copperheads. The
thought is siekening that a county
which has sent two thousand men to
figh5 for the Union, which contains the
graves OF 50 many noble dead who have
persisted for that cause and so many
hearthsUones made desolate by traitor
bullets should be compelled to endure
the steadfast hater of that cause
and chief northern sympathizer- and
abettor of the sIayers of our sons and
bro hers
Does not the Copperhead Committee
who have sent this wicked man here
know that his skirts are bespattered with
che blood of our truest- and best? Do
they not know that the sympathy and
encouragement with which he stimu a
ted the diaboltcaI treason of the South
have filled unmarked graves with those
whom the hearts of the widow and or
phan in our midst yearn for patiently
but in vain? Do they not know that
t lis shameless embodiment oftraitO-ous
sympathy with an infamous conspiracy
against our liberties and firesides is a
stencil in the nostrils and a nausea to
the stomach of every loyal man in Del
aware2 Do they not know that this
stealtby conniver with secession is more
/ hateful 10 our sight and odious to our
sensibiities than would be a rebel sol
/ dier who bravely though mistakenly
fought for the rebel cause De they
not know that this renegade who play
! ed. false to our country, disgraced our
/ State,- and betrayed all that we hold
dear. is not 1goHted here fog any purpose,
/ much less for instructing our people in

| e Why, who is this Ea1Iandigham who
comes. here as an Instructor of our pa
triotic people, and as claimant of the
honor of representing them in the Sem
ate Of the United States
1t is he who said in Congress in 1889:
Il am not a Northern man. I have little
sym patsly with the Eerth, no very good feel
ing Tor, and am bound 10 her by no tie what

= But parbIdkd kdlssOluLOn has already
occurred. Secession has been tried and mas
practicability oft and the way to do il have
both been established "
Tt is he who, supplementary to this
speech introduced IN Congress a joint
resolution proposing to divide the Uni
ted States into four sections, naming
the States VIII ch should belong to each
section
1t is he who aYowed in a letter to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Nov, 10, 1860, that
he did say. in a speech in the Cooper
institute, New York, that
IF one or more states of this Union
should, at any time secede, for reasons ol
thej justice and sa1hclency of which before

1t is he who boasled IN speech al
Dayton in 1862 that he had not voted
for any army or navy appropriation bill
or other war measure subsequent to the
f meeting Of Congress, July 4th, 1861.
r 1t is he who, in the same speech, de-
: nOunced the prosecution of the war for
the Union as a Northern rebellion, and
as an unnecessary civil war.
It is he who voted in Con gress against
a resolution of thanks to Major Ander-
son and his brave little band, introduc-
ed by a Democratic member, and con-
cluding with the zeN preston
''That We viii support the President in all
/ constitutional measures to enforce the laws
/ and preserve the Union"
It is he who was nder-in-chief
of the reasonable organization known
as the Knights of the Golden Circle,
containing SO, 66u1embers in Ohio, .ev-
cry one of which with his hand on the
Bible, avOwed that he "believed the
present war now-being waged against
/ Us to be unconstitutional" J" and took
the following oath
81 promise and swear that win do all in
nay power to bring an loyal Democrats into
this circle OF hosts; ufld I further promise
and swear, that VIII do all in my power
/ IstraGlOn, 50 help me God"
1t is heo of whom the Chattanooga reb-
eI said, May 29, 1862:
/ How natural it is that we all feel kindly
/ toward Mr.. Vallandigham. We really con-
/ slider his prospects to be Governor of Ohio
| very Ittlf; tge 1CiSh mem TeGttzed because he

kept his faith eUer sj9cs.''
/ 1t is he, who having the assurance to
visit Union camps near Washington
early in the war, was stoned therefrom
by the boys in blue who would not en-
dure his traitorous presence.
1t is he, who having been convicted
Of reasonable utteranees and practices
! by a court martial, was denied writ
/ of habeas corpus by a Democratic Judge.
/ It is he who having been sentenced
to imprisonment for such practices and
utterances, and having his sentence
| commuted by our mercifuI President to
removal to his friends in the South, had
to be conducted through the lines OF
Old Rosy's army at midnight to save
him from the fury Of indignant Union
soldiers.
Itis he, who when thus banished, ad-
vised the rebels to strike thick, fast and
heavy blows in order toaid thetriumph (
Of The peace party in the North.
1t is he who wrote from Canada to
Democrats in Ohio, July I5, 1888, say
ing:
