A Prophecy Grant to Turn Democrat.

In speech made last week at Crest:
line, Ohio, Mr.. Vallandigham said:
Now, my Republican friends, I have
not said anything against Con. Grant in
this campaign. / have not done it for
purpose. If he is fit to be President,
long before his term expires I will be
found supporting him, honestly and
cordially, against the leaders Of the par.
ty which expects to elect him in No.
vember. rLoud cheers.1 And you
will have no right to cry out Traitor"
against him you will have no right to
talk about his Tylcrlzlng, or his Fill
morelz'ng, or his Johnsonizng you
You nominated HIM in Chicago; yoa
nut PLATFORM something called a
pattorm-into his hand; you asked
him for an acceptance Of it, aud ho nc.
cepted, and | dare say lie would have
accepted the Democratic nomination too,
Laughter.
But he took care in his letter of ac
ceptance TO saw that he would not pro
claim any policy. Flo did not consider
It advisable TO do so in advance of the
clcclion-to say what ho would when
he was elected. Now. pray you to
remember that told you on This 26th
OF October that Gen. Grans will reject
the mad, fanalical, revolutionary Radia
cal leaders of The organization whcI, put
him forward, it ho proves .ruo to tile
Constitution aud the Union OF onr faith
ers. [ Loud chcers.] If hc will restore
TO tins Government its harmony, and
give back to the people their rights
North and South, I will be found among
his cordial supporters, because will
be found in opposition to tho Radical
party.
Why will he be in antagonism to the
Republican party? Because he will be
in an an,agonism TO their unjust meas
nres. But remember my Republican
friends, yon are electng him with your
eyes open. When yon old Wings
elected Tyler, there was nothing said
about what he would do. You expect.
co him to be committed to the policy OF
the Wing party. When you elected
Fillmore he was no Democrat, but in
four months after his election his chief
reliance was npontho Democratic party.
SO when You nominated johnson, which
you did because he was southern man.
Laughtcr.J Yes, you did; you diJ
not know even whether he belonged to
the knklux or not Loud laughter. I
But he lived down South, and YOU
wanted tho odor OF nationality about
Vice President; you wanted southern
man, that it might introduce little
,eaven into your Northern body. Yon
found Andrew Johnson, and you knew
he had been Democrat and you knew
ne loved The Dem ocrats so much that
Republicans and Wings had before time
denounced him as demagogue-whch
is another thing from Democrat, and
yon elected him. l did not vote for
him, because my suffrage was for an
honest son Of Ohio, George II. Pendle-
ton. EChecrs.f
You made Andrew johnson Vice.
President and some one saws that Goo
Almighty mad. him President and it
/. not Tor mo to settle disputes of that
kind-l leave it to those who may have
slime to discuss it-bnt Just as J.hnson
has refused to follow your Radical pro-
lects, and as you have denounced him,
Just as surely will YOU be denounc,ne
Grant on The 26th Of October, 1860, f
he shall be elected President. And
then, foo, we shall have The satisfac-
ton of saying that we diGnot elect him
