Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio . . .

. . . consorted with traitors, made Breckinridge his “bosom friend” after that shameless wretch had made the rebel confession his faith, partook of a banquet at the hands of the secessionists of Baltimore last summer, and denounced the war as an iniquitous raid upon the rights and liberties of “our Southern brethren.”

And this man was the master-spirit of the late meeting at Washington for the reorganization of the Democratic party! Who can doubt that his whole purpose was and is to subserve the interest of the rebels? Cin. Gaz.

And the Democrat of this city endorsed Vallandigham’s efforts to reorganize the Democratic [party]!
