MR. VALLANDIGHAM AND THE OHIO GOVERNORSHIP.
The telegraphic reports have stated that Mr. Vallandigham had been nominated as the Democratic candidate for governor of Ohio. This is not the case. The State convention has not yet assembled. Mr. Vallandigham, however, is generally spoken of in connection with the nomination, and will, we presume, be placed authoritatively before the people.
We find the following letter, consenting to the use of his name, in our late Ohio exchanges:
House of Representatives,
Washington City, D. C., January 16.
David F. Cable, Esq., Steubenville, Ohio:
My Dear Sir: I have received your letter on behalf of the central committee of Jefferson county, stating that "it has been extensively circulated that I wholly refuse to run for the nomination" as Democratic candidate for governor of Ohio, next fall, and inquiring as to my position in regard to it. In answer I would say, that the desire has been freely and cordially expressed to me from all parts of the State, that my name may be used in convention for that purpose, and I have yielded to the wishes of my friends.
My name, therefore, will be presented to the Democratic State Convention, in connection with that office; and if it be the belief of the Democracy of the State, as expressed in that convention, that I may be able, in the position, to aid and hasten the reunion of these States, and, therefore, the return of the prosperity and blessings of other and better times, and their desire, also, that I shall be their candidate, no honorable exertion, however great, shall be omitted by me in the canvass to have the nomination ratified through the ballot-box by a triumphant election. Having clung to the old ship when the storm raged fiercest, and clouds were blackest and friends fewest, I will not desert her now, when upon a smoother sea and with gentler and more prosperous winds around her.
Satisfied, however, that the convention will, in any event, act wisely and soundly, I shall yield a cordial and active support to the choice of that convention, whoever he may be.
Thanking my friends in Jefferson for their kindly feelings, as expressed in your letter, I am very truly,
C. L. VALLANDIGHAM.
