Poor Vallandigham! After fighting
so hard for the nomination after resort
ing to every possible device under the
sun to gain his object, the leader of Ohio
butternuts finds himself assailed, assault
ed and wounded in his own camp. Some
of the dissatisfied Democrats of the Hid
District have issued a lengthy manifesto,
charging him with every sin of omission
aud commission; they make him out a
worse man than we thought him and
to cap the climax, conclude with an earn
est appeal to the Democrats not to sup
port him. Here is the closing paragraph:
"They develop the heartless ambition
and treacherous nature of one who has
long been known to those who, by closer
contact and easier facilities of Judgment
fairly and fully appreciated his elements
of character, as a person consumed with
ambition, disgustingly selfish in all his
social aud personal relations; sordidly
mean and meanly sordid in all his pock-
ct interests and influences, utterly indif-
ferent to any political aspiration but his
own; jealous of any one who aspires
above him, and malicious hater of any
old friend who happens to stand in the
way of his designs-a man who, thus
exposed and thus known, is eminently
unworthy of your suffrages and respect"

In our streets, in our offices, on our
farms, everywhere we meet "empty
sleeves" sleeves that the wind blows
against broken ribs, whips about crippled
bodies; sleeves whose emptiness tell of
arms blown off in battle; of arms lost
in strife for the life of Il nation; of arms
shattered with flag in hand. Empty
sleeves that speak more eloquently than
tongue or type of patriotism, of courage,
of faith in the right, Of hope in Justice
Empty sleeves that tell of honor upheld,
of a nation saved, of homes defended, of
valor, of daring. Empty sleeves that
tell how desperately Rebellion fought
against the life of people; empty
of that people did their glorious work !;
empty sleeves that ever proclaim how
lives were risked and limbs sacrificed in
putting down these who fired on the na-
tion's flag and trailed it in the dust !;
empty sleeves that constantly rebuke
those who did their utmost to make slav-
cry national and freedom sectional !;
empty sleeves that tell of Southern pris-
ens; of the "dead lines" around human
cattle pens, tell of abuse, of needless suf-
fering, of starvation; empty sleeves,
whose wearers are living reminders of
Libby, of Andersonville, and those 9TH
er hells in which Union soldiers who
fought for the old flag of Liberty against
the Rebel flag of Slavery, were tortured
and bruised and starved and murdered
and denied decent burial when dead;
empty sleeves that tell of the tenacity of
human Slavery, and the determination
of Southern minority to lord it over
and rule Northern majority. Are the
honorable and hOnored men whose arm
less sleeves meet US at every turn going
for the party that fired on old Sumter?
Are these men going to tell the world
that the side on which they fought was
wrong? Are these men about to tell the
werld that the old flag ought to have
been trailed in the dust at Sumter? Are
they going to say that Grant ought to
have surrendered to Lee-that the rebel
flag ought now to wave from the dome of
the nations Capitol? If these brave
men desire to speak thus, and to see the
rebel flag on every Flagstaff in the land,
they will vote for Seymour but if they
believe that they fought on the right
side-believe that Grant was right in
causing Lees surrender-that the old
flag of our fathers Is the flag of the na-
tion-then they will vote for Grant
"God defend the right."-[N. Y. Trib.

NEW ALBANY, Aug. -.
The Republicans OF the Second Dis.
trict are wide awake, enthusiastic, and
working hard. We have organized n
Company of "Fighting Boys in Blue;n
also the Grant Guards in addition TO the
Grant Club. The Fighting Bows in
Blue" is composed of fighting BOYS only.
Not hospital pimps, deserters and eX-
rebel soldiers, as the "White Bows in
Blue" are accustomed to monopelizing
all such material. Col. Thomas II. Nell
son, Republican Elsctor at Large, will
address the citizens of New Albany to-
night. Governor Baker addresses US to-
morrow night. Our organizations are
making preparations to give him a mag
nffcent reception. Richard Travelick,
of Michigan, addressed the Democrats
on Saturday evening last, on the subject
of the worlxingmen's interest, but he
made poor effort. His name should be
changed to Travel Dick-traveling at the
expense Of the Democratic State Central

violation by the Rebels, in making illegal
declarations Of exchange, for the purpose
of putting men into the aeld, and there
is no doubt, whatever, that all prisoners
paroled by the United States authorities
were Immediately returned to active
duty in the Rebel army. Many Officers
and men captured at VicksbuTg were in
the battle Of Chickamauga. Thus the
Rebels were making use of our we'll
conducted prisons as recruiting depotS
for their army. Another insuperable
obstacle to returning exchanges was in
the matter of paroles. Mr.. Ould had
some Is, 900 or 1900 which he claimed
as valid. Most, if not all of these pa
roles, were taken by guerrillas, BUSH
whackers, and detached commands IN
the West, No possession was ever had,
no delivery was ever made, and no rolls
were ever furnished. On'the capture of
a town by Rebel cavalry raid, the com
mand remained long enough to take the
parole of unarmed citizens there, and
then decamped, leaving the paroled men
behind, and forwarding the paroles to
Richmond. And the Rebels had the as
surance to require the United States
Government to exchange prisoners legi-
timately captured in battle for such
vember, 1883, offered to send immedi-
ately to City Point Il, 200 or more Con-
federate prisoners, to be exchanged for
Union soldiers confined in the South
This proposition was distinctly and un-
equivocally refused by Mr.. Ould. And
why? Because the damnable plans OF
the Rebel Government in relation to our
poor captured soldiers had not then been
fully carried out. Let Mr. Ould leave
the truth Of history to take care ofitself,
and vindicate, if he can, the intentional,
premediated, and barbarous treatment
by the Rebel authorities OF our soldiers
in the Rebel prison pens. When, in 1854,
the hellish plan was almost consumma-
ted, and they held as prisoners thousands
OF loathSome skeletons, let him confess
that then his emasculated Government
was willing TO letthe United States au-
thOrities bury its dead, in exchange Tor
fresh and healthy arm of $1,000 men, to
be Immediately put in the field against
General Grant. We conclude, Messrs.
Editors, these, and these alone, were tue
causes which prevented the exchange of
prisoners, and these causes were in
operation until the close Of the war
The difficulties in the wa; were insur-
and were so looked upon by
the United States authorities. General
Grant had no more power to overcome
them any officer who preceded him.
He took the only means in his power to
effect the release of our prisoners, and
in 1865 succeeded in accomplishing his
purposes, much to the disgust, no doubt,
of such patriotic vindicatOrs of the truth
Of history" rs Mr.. Robert Ould. Yours,
very truly, s. A. MEREDITH,
Late Brigadier General and U. s. Com
missioner for Exchange Of Prisoners.

Letter OF Gen. 8. A. Meredith.
Il ditors Bu1dlo Commercial Aduertiser:

Rebel Treatment: OF Union Prisoners--
Letter OF Gen. 8. A. Meredith.
e ditors Btlralo Commercial Aduertiser:
My attention has been called to q SEN
satien story published in the New York
World, entitled "a Terrible Revelation. -
purporting to be statement of Robert
Ould, concerning the exchange of pris-
oners. Were the matter not SO serious,
the reasons given by this noble patriot
for publishing his romance might be con-
sidered the best joke of the season, to
wit; ITO correct the many misrepresen-
tations of the late Confederate authori-
ties in relation to prisoners" and "that
he feels it due to the truth of history to
bring the facts set forth to the attention
of the country" When an unrepentant
traitor like Robert Ould has the unblush-
ing impudence to attempt to impose on
Northern freemen his vindication of the
truth of history" as connected with
the late Rebellion, or the treatment of
our soldiers, Intentionally starved and
slaughtered in Rebel pens, 1 also feel it
incumbent on me {as he remarks) to
"make a statement" The first inter-
ruption of the cartel was caused by Jeff.
Davis's message to the Rebel Congress,
January II, 1868, wherein he announced
of the United States captured after that
date to the State authorities, to be dealt
with according to the laws of those
States, providing for the punishment of
criminals engaged in melting serviie
insurrection." That is, our officers cap
tnred in battle were to be handed over
to the State authorities to be hung.
The second difficulty occurred in re-
latiOn to negro troops, and the officers
commanding them, whom the Rebel au-
thorities promised to treat in the same
manner, but without taking the trouble
to deliver them to the State authorities.
In many instances.no quarter was grant
ed to that class of troops, or to theoffleers
commanding them. Some were execu-
ted without trial, though that mere form
would not have benefited them in the
slightest degree. When in August, 1858,
l demanded that negro troops and tHeir
officers should be treated as other pris-
oners of war, and exchanged, this "vin-
dicator of the truth" peremptority de-
clined, with this remark: 1--WE (the
Rebels) will die in the last ditch before
giving up the right to send slaves back
to slavery" Another cause of the sus-
pension of the carte was its constant
