stood. If not hindered he is sure to
help the enemy; much more il he talks
ambiguously-talks for his country
with butts and ifs and ands'

Lincoln herein wrote a state paper
for the world war of 1917. Without
the change of one word, it continues
to serve as the analysis of sedition
methods and the judicial exposition
OF the automatic suspension of consti-
tutions during such times as a govern
ment remains at war Ca provision
made for war by our constitution it
self.
In greater detail the records yield
the narrative of Vallandigham, whom
Lincoln referred to as "the person
who, more than any other was re-
sponsible for the wholesale assertions
in the northern armies in 1868 and for
the threatened counter revolution in
the northwest and in New York.
Elected to congress in 1852 from
Dayton, O., as an aVoWed anti-aboli-
ZIONIST "strict construction demo-
crat who despised democracy, pro-
slavery advocate, a Worshipper of the
constitution and of contracts, he soon
became the northern leader of slavery

oratory

Vallandigham became the chief fill
ibuster in the thirty-second congress,
which met in special session July 4,
1861, to enter upon the defense of the
Union. Efforts to shut him off were
Iunavailng. A great cutlery went
throughout the north against him.
There we're threats of bloodshed if he
spoke for peace in congress. There
were threats of assassination. But
Vallandigham was bold. His speeches
were received with acclaim in the
south and in England. He violently
championed the slavery cause and
called the abolitionists "destroyers of
the Union" which, In his mouth, was
sacred
April 2, 1862 he moved for the ap-
pointment of peace commission. On
visiting the Potomac camp he was
nearly mobbed by northern soldiers.
There were floods of denunciatiof
motions Of censure, petitions for his
removal and threats of violence. The
cause of reaction and Of slavery in the
north was identified with Vallandig-
ham. Congressman Hickman of
Pennsylvania in February 10, 1862, al
ready had moved his expulsion.
Vallandigham's retirement from
congress to enter the contest for gov
ernor of Ohio followed. He became
still more bold. General Burnside
drew up charges following one of his
campaign speeches, setting forth the
facts that Vallandigham had publicly
expressed sympathy for those in arms
against the government of the United
States" and had declared sentiments
and opinions with the object and pur-
pose of weakening the power of the
government in it's efforts to suppress
an unlawful rebellion" 'all of which
opinions and sentiments he we'll knew
did aid, comfort and encourage those
in arms against the government"
