The Treason of Vallandigham.
The telegraph of last Friday brought us the following extraordinary letter to the New York Times in which paper it appeared: and—
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.--Having just returned from the city of Richmond, Va., where I have been over one year, I wish you would give the following publication in your valuable paper.
I have during my stay in Richmond made the intimate acquaintance of J. Lane, a Capt. in the Confederate army son of Gen. Joe Lane, of Oregon who is well informed and who assures me that the late invasion of the North by Lee and Morgan were made upon the earnest and undoubted representations of that true southern man, Vallandigham, who assured Jeff. Davis and his Cabinet, that the North was ripe for revolution, and only waited the appearance of the Southern army to proclaim for Jeff. Davis and unmake Lincoln Mr Vallandigham's representations were corroborated by the tone of the majority of the northern journals, who surely would not denounce the Administration so boldly, except by the assurance of having the masses strongly in their favor. I have sent a copy of this note to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Respectfully, yours,
Henry Reinisha
Here we have the treason of Vallandigham vouched for by his own southern friends.- There are many things which give this statement a coloring of truth. It is simply the carrying out of his assertion made some months ago that if the U. S. Government did not withdraw its armies from the south, the rebels "ought to be induced to make the invasion."
-In his Canada letter of July 15th Vallandigham says:
"Arrested and confined for three weeks in the United States, a prisoner of State; banished thence to the Confederate States, and there held as an alien enemy and prisoner of war, though on parole, etc."
The doctrine is here distinctly avowed that the seceded States have ceased to be a part of the Union, and are no longer under the control of this government.
The above letter, taken in connection with Vallandigham's speeches before his arrest, and his Canada letters, furnishes ample evidence of his treason and complicity with the rebels. A beautiful, nice man, he, to be Governor of the loyal State of Ohio.
