- WORTH REMEMBERING.
The position in which the Democracy
place themselves by calling to the front
such men as Vallandigham, VOORHEES,
and Milligan, is calculated to illustrate
the OLD proverb: "whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" We allu
ded, yesterday, to the grand demonstra-
ton Of the Allen county Dem ocracy on
last Saturday, where Vallandigham was
received with more than regal donors
1t is proper to remind the thoughtful
men Of that party, those who are not yet
ready to indorse treason and hurry the
country into another revolution, that
Vallandigham, not less than Voorhees,,
is on record, that he has made many
speeches, perhaps too many for the good
of his party. He made speech in Con
gress, on the 9th of July, 1861, just be-
fore the battle of Bull Run, in which he
uttered the following atrocious sentiment
which dug that political grave from
which the rebel yell Of the New York
Convention resurrected him:
..Then, sir, I am not Southern man
her-ALTHOUGH IN THIS MOST
UNHOLY AND UNCONSTITUTION-
AL CRUSADE AGAINST THE
SOUTH. in the midst of the INSUR-
RECTION AND MURDER TO WHICH
SHE HAS BEEN SUBJECT, and with
which she is still threatened-with the
torch of the INCENDIARY AND THE
DAGGER OF THE ASSASSIN SUS-
PENDED OVER HER--MY MOST
CORDIAL SYMPAT THE S ARE
WHOLLY WITH HER.
The author of the above was, during
the war an ally of the traitor, Milligan,
now leading a column of the Indiana
Democracy, and both were working to
accomplish the same object which Vor-
hees had at heart when he sent his prom
Use of 10000 men to his Virginia uncle
when he received those touching epistles
relative to rifles, undoubtedly intended
to arm the Sons of Liberty in Indiana.
Who can fifty characterize the damn
ing guilt and eternal cleaving infamy of
those men whose fell spirit of malice and
revenge prompted letters of encourage
ment to the rebel armies? What place
in history will the honest chronicler. of
the Great Rebellion assign to the man
whose promise of hundred thousand
men from Indiana was promulgated in
general orders and read at the head of
every regiment in the rebel armies
The blood of thousands, needlessly
slain, is on the souls of the men Of the
North whose encouragement to Southern
rebels not only induced the Inauguration
of the war but prolonged the struggle
for ycars-years of agony and blood
beyond the period to which it could have
extended but for their delusive, traitor
Gus utterances.
1t is not strange that the author Of the
Hardesty letter, the sympathizer with
and encourager of rebels; the man who
during those terrible years of war was
going up and down the land shri eking:
The Republic is dying! DYING !!
DYING ~" CT will never vote an
other man, anOCner QOilar nor anOCner
gun to carry on this unholy war;" the
man who sought every opportunity to
stab ct the life Of the government; it is
not strange, We say, that such a man,
with record that haunts him as Mac
beth was haunted by the ghost of Ban
quo, should decline joint canvass of
this Congressional District with the gal
liant soldier who faced the storms Of
rebel lead in defence Of the government
which his competitor was striving to de-
stroy. 1t is still less strange that he
should thus decline to meet Carter in
Joint discussion when he has demonstra-
ted that his only material Of war in this
contest is q howl at the "Radical Con-
gress' for expenses incurred in crush
ing his idol on the battle fields of the
South.-[Wabash Express.
