Vallandigham a Traitor.
The Abolition disunionists say Vallandigham is a traitor. Why is he a traitor? Show us the declaration, the speech, the act: show us anything Mr. Vallandigham has ever said or done to fasten treason upon him. The charge is a catch-word of treasury pirates and political scoundrels, and it is re-echoed by their pimps and dupes all over the country for the purpose of breaking down one of the purest men, most distinguished scholar, and incorruptible statesmen this country has ever produced.
