Vallandigham's doctrine was, that anything
in mans record more than seven years past,
ought to be barred by q statute Of limitation,
and not counted against him. If such law or
rule existed, the editor Of the ddranee might

years past to which he refers, be has written the
to the exact contrary of all he now asserts. He
ridiculed Phillips skill as a General, and his
bravery; intimated that his soldering was only
with & view to political Office; charged him with
cowardice and plundering and accused him OF
intimacy with lewd female camp followers. Let
him speak for himself. In March, 1864, the pres
ent editor Of the AdnaRce wrote a communication
TO the Chief from Fort Gibson the headquarters
of Col. Phillips, which communication was Pub-
lished in the Chief Of March Path, 1864. "WIlli-
