CASE OF VALLANDIGH-Cif.
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CENTRAL CLUB, IN REFERENCE TO THE
VALLANDIGHAM CASE_
At a special meeting of the Democratic Cen
tral Club. held at their rooms, No. 536 Walnut
street, Philadelphia, on Friday evening, May
22d, 1863, to consider the ,recent case of the
arrest of Mr. Vallandigham, the following
resolutions wore unanimously adopted !
Whereas, Clement L. Vallandigham, a citi
zen of Ohio, for words spoken at a public meet
ing of his fellow citizens, held at Mt. Vernon
on the Ist, was on the 6th of the month, at the
dead of night, in his own dwelling house, at
Dayton, in that State, violently seized'and car
ried off by a body of armed soldiers, acting
under the orders of Maj. Gen. Burnside, com
manding that department, and who, for the
purpose of his capture, broke down the outer
and inner doors of his house ; and
Whereas, He was instantly hurried off to the
city of Cincinnati, and there brought before a
military eommieion nominated by the said
General, and sitting under his assumed au
thority, by whom he was, after a mock trial,
convicted of certain supposed offences, which
had their origin, exclusively, in a previous
mandatory order of the said General, issued
without any warrant of law ; and
Whereas; The said mandatory order of said
Burnside was in violation of constitutional law,
being in derogation of freedom of speech and
of the plainest rights of the citizen, and foun
ded on the grossly erroneous . assumption of
the supremacy of the military power, which he
has been exerting over the civil power of the
land; and
Whereas, No war was waging or threatened
in Ohio, and the courts were' open, and justice
was at the time duly and peaceably adminis
tered there, and every violation of the laws of
the country by the accused could-have been
punished in the ordinary course of ; ustioe ;
and
Whereas, Mr. Vallandigham was neither a
prisoner of war, nor enlisted, nor commissioned
in the land or naval forces of the United States,
nor called into actual service as one of the
militia of any of the Stet& or of the United
States; and
Whereas, The conviction of Mr. Vallandig
ham was procured by means as extraordinary
as the existence and proceedings of the com
mission which tried him were emlawful ; inas
much as it appears by the published testimony
that the principal witness against him was a
captain in the army of the United States, who
took. off his uniform, put on citizen's clothes,
and went to the Mount Vernon meeting in or
der to bear and repeat what should there be
uttered; tlpit,thus disguised, after having ta
ken, as be has testified, some notes of Mr. Val
landigham's speech, and which, in his testi
mony, he sidnatpho was m k t- to listen to, be
reported them, to leis Colonel, by whom, he fur
ther testifies, he was "sent to the headquar
ters of the Department of the Ohio," soon after
which the arrest and trial of Mr. Vallandigham
took place ; thus involving in the same act of
military shame the commanding General of the
"Department of the Ohio," and the officer who
served him as an eavesdropper and a spy";
and
Whereas, The said military commission,
backed by the assumed authority of the .said
Burnside and by the armed band who are sub
ject to his orders, have, as it is said, sentenced
their victim to a punishment to be inflicted be
yond the reach of the judicial power of the
•country existing under the statutes of the Uni
ted States ; and •
Whereas, When one freeman suffers through
a violation of constitutional law, the evil exam
, ple is of universal influence, and every other
freeman suffers in the loss of his constitutional
armor, and stands defenseless before the sword
of arbitrary power ; and -
Whereas, The Central Democratic Club of
Philadelphia, instituted to adVocate the prinei
eples of human liberty, as held and maintained
by the Democratic party, feels it due to itself
and to the sacred cause which it has at heart,
not to allow such an outrage to pass unnoticed;
therefore
Resolved, 1. That the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, having forbidden that any law !shall
be passed "abridging the freedonl of speech or
of the press," and having declared that no per
son "shall be deprived of life, liberty or pro
perty without due process of law ;" when these
liberties and privileges, thus• safely guarded
from assault, though attempted with the whole
power of the State, are successfully invaded
and entirely swept away, at the order of one
man, having and professing to have no au
thority but his sword, the country feels the
shock, and every citizen must see that the re
public is irdanger.
2. That the Central Democratic Club of Phila
delphia denounce, in the name of the Constitu
tion of the United States, and of the principles
of human liberty, the outrage practiced upon
their fellow citizen—Mr. Vallandigham—a man
at this time especially dear to them, as an un
tiring laborer for the reconstruction of the
Union. •
3. That the authors and abettors of this out
rage should be visited with the punishment due
to a gross and wilful violation of the laws of a
free country. . _
4. That the statement of Maj. Gen. Burnside,
as published in the newspapers and believed
by this club to have been a l ptually addressed to
the Circuit Court pf the United States for the
District of Ohio, in justifieltion of his act and
in answer to the motion for a writ of habeas
corpus in behalf of Mr. Vallandigham, is a tis
sue of shameless absurdities, making, by his
own commentary,'his conduct the more crimi
nal.
5. That the sight, now ao often repeated, of
military officers of the republic, when called
upon by the Executive to act against the Con-
Stitution of their country, submitting them
selved to be the instruments of tyranny instead
of laying down their commissions, is discoura
ging to the friends of liberty, and an evidence
of the wisdom of our ancestors in'insisting that
the military should be kept in strict subordina
tion to the civil authority.
6. That this new and last outrage on the
rights of American citizens, is a further lam
/rig to us to omit no honorable means or mea
sures to prepare ourselves for the triumph of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania at the com
ing election, and serves as another proof to as
sure us that, should the State not then be re
deemed from its thraldom, our liberties are
gone.
7. That the sympathies of the members of
this Club are ;hereby tendered to Mr. Yellen
digham, as a ,ufferer in the cause of free dis
cussion of public men and measures, with the
expression of their profound regret, that no
other opportunity is afforded them of manifest
ing their determination to uphold his rights as
a citizen of their common country.
8. That Mr. Vallandigham's arrest, confine
ment, mock trial, and despotic treatment there
PRICE TWO CENTo.
after, are practical proofs of the most convin
cing kind, of the determination and policy of
the present administration of the Federal Gov
ernment to set at naught the Constitution of
the United Stites, and to erect in its stead an
arbitrary, laMeas despotism, utterly regardless
of the reserved rights of the States and of the
people.
9. That we look to the Democracy of Ohio to
vindicate the outraged rights of her citizens, by
resisting, in every legal and constitutional
mode, the intrusion of military despotism into
her borders.
10. That we commend to the Governors of
Ohio and Pennsylvania the noble example of
the Governor of New York, in his recent manly
and indignant protest against the arbitrary
conduct of Maj Gen. Burnside, and invite their
zealous co-operation with Gov. Seymour in
resistance to the approach of tyranny.
11. That in the mystery which attends the
movements or those entrusted with the trans
fer of Mr. Vallandigham to Ms place of exile
or imprisonment, and who seem, so far as is
known or can be conjectured, to have hurried,
or to be about to hurry, their prisoner across
the country in secretly and darkness, we recog
nize the worst feautres of the most odious ty
ranny and the fear obthe just indignation of
an outraged people_
UNION COUNTY.
The Democracy of Union oonnty held a
county convention at Lewisburg, on the 18th
inst., and passed the following resolutions :
WEIEREAS. The Democracy of Union county,
now, through their delegates in convention as
sembled, at Lewisburg, deem it proper to ex
press their fixed opinions on some of the topics
now generally discussed throughout the land,
publish the following resolutions :
Resclocs, That after reading and mature re
flection over the resolutions passed in mass
meeting at Reading, Pa., on the 21st of April,
1863, by the Democracy of Berke county, and
imblielied in the Argus of the 9th 'instant, we
heartily endorse every sentiment therein ex
pressed, so far as applicable to our own condi
tion and circumstances, inasmuch as we be
lieve them neither to utter nor concede more
than what is becoming a nation of freemen—
the inhabitants of a country whose very air
seems to have instilled the spirit of civil, con
stitutional liberty into the hearts of our an
cestors at their first landing upon the shores
of America.
Resolved, That while we cannot and will not
approve of or defend the present national ad
ministration in its usurpations and unwarrant
able proceedings against Dome of our fellow
countrymen who have dared to honorably ex
ercise that freedom of speech and of the press
which is vouchsafed to the citizens of all coun.
tries making say pretensions to civil liberty,
and which rights are especially guaranteed to
the people of this country by our national and
State constitutions in the discussion of topics
pertaining to their welfare, we will continue to
counsel obedience to law and order, by all our
Democratic fellow-citizens.
Resolved, That all those persons, whether
preachers or laymen, who counsel and advise
to fanatical strife in civil war to the bitter end
in our midst against all who may honestly dif
fer from them in political sentiment and prin
ciple, are not only hostile to their neighbors
and friends, but °Domicil to religion and hu
manity. Such persons, in the selfishness of
their wicked opinions, are forgetting that in
the event of the fulfillment of what seem to
be their unhallowed wishes, the fratricidal dag
ger and incendiary brand of a Jaoobin mob are
as near to their hearts and doors as to those of
their fellow.citizens who honestly differ with
them as to the best manner and policy of ad
ministering the government during the unfor
tunate crisis through which onr once happy
and prosperous Union is now passing. We be
lieve that however different our opinions may
be, that dignity and fairness in discussion at
home, and moderation, honesty and magna
nimity by the administration in the conduct of
.the struggle now raging between the northern
and southern sections of our country, are the
best agencies for producing harmony in the
North and peace with the Southern people.—
We believe it is better to counsel too little than
too much excitement.
Resolved, That the agitation of topics on
which men are at variance, inasmuch that they
ore neither capable of a logical or a mathe
matical conclusion sufficiently decisive to settle
the minds and consciences of all, in times like
these, and at all times, unless conducted with
the greatest spirit of liberality and mutual tole
ration, is unproductive of good, but may be
the fruit of irreparable injury.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the Democratic
party•has always been liberal and just in the
construction and execution of the laws of the
bind, we will recommend to all citizens, native
or naturalized, the importance of not swerving
from the landmarks of former policy, well
knowing that it is the only policy by which
the liberty of the citizen and the prosperity of
the country, as its history for more than half
a century demonstrates, can be preserved and
enhanced:
Resolved, That with Chief Justice Marshall,
Judge Story, and Judge Curtis, we believe that
the power of the Executive to extend martial
law and suspend the habeas corpus over the
whole country has no warrant in the Consti
tution, and is a power which no people can
confer upon an Executive officer and remain a
free people, as it makes him absolute master
of their liberties, their lives and their property;
that it is a power which the English Crown, by
its coronation oath, has, since. the reign of
King John, sworn not, to exercise ; that during
the whole seven years .of the Revolution, when
tories and
,spies were abundant, Washington,
despising so arbitrary a measure, and believing
it to be unconstitutional, would not and did not
exercise it.
Resolved, That we are in favor of a vigorous
prosecution of the war, as long as there is a
reb it in' arms against the government, making
the Constitution of the United States and the
laws in pursuance thereof, our strict rule of
action, aside from which we believe we have
no authority to prosecute any war; that, be
yond the limits of the Constitution and in vio
lation thereof, there is no just or valid plea for
"military necessity," as it. calls to its aid and
support every man and every dollar in putting
down insurrection and rebellion, repelling in
vasion, Ste.
Resoved, That the trial by jury is the sacred
privilege of every American citizen. It is the
great bulwark against judicial tyranny and
executive usurpations. We, therefore, de
nounce every refusal of this right as a palpa
ble outrage and a violation of our magna
charter—the Constitution.
Resolved, That we welcome back to their
homes once more oar patriotic soldiers. Liv
ing, they shall be honored ; dead, their memo
ries shall be revered. A nation's gratitude is
theirs.
Resolved, That the commanding ability, ster
ling integrity and fearless patriotism of Hon.
Theater Clymer, of "Old Berks," entitle him
to the support, confidence and respect of the
Democracy of Pennsylvania, and that our Re
presentative delegates are hereby respectfully
instructed to use all honorable means to secure
his nomination as the Democratic candidate

TPAMANDIGIZAM AND GREELEY.
The Evening Post is of opinion that Mr. Val
lanciigham cannot appeal to history for Me
vindicatoin. It cites his votes in Congress
to prove that he has opposed the war from the
start, and argues therefrom that he will figure
in our future records as little less infamous
than Benedict Arnold. Unfortunately for the
Post's argument it proves too much. Mere
opposition to a war has never yet rendered a
man infamous ; if it had Mr. Bryant, Minister
Corwin, the President himself, and all the lea
ders of the Whig party, could not be deemed
honorable or patriotic men, because they op
posed the Mexican war with' unexampled par
tisan bitterness. Mr. Vallandigham's position
is the same as that held by Colonel Seymour,
of Connecticut. He desires a restoration of
the Union as much as any man in the country
but he does not think it possible to do it by
war. Re believes the blood shed and money
spent is in vain, and that peace alone can bring
about reunion. In this position we believe he
is mistaken, but if the South should gain its
independence, and all our efforts in the field
come to naught, history will certainly give him
credit for more sagacity than all the other li
ving leaders of public opinion at the North.
It should be remembered that Mr. Fallen
digham has on no occasion advocated the right
of secession. He has repeatedly denied that
any such legal right existed. Now, it he is
infamous, who has always consistently op.
posed disunion, and who differs from the rest
of us only as to the methods by which the
North and South can be brought together,
what are we to say of leading members of the
Republican party, who have openly advocated
the right of secession ? Take, for instance, the
following from the editorials of Mr. Horace
Greeley, of the N. Y. Tribune
From the Tribune of Nov. 9,1860
If the cotton States shall become satisfied
that they can do better out of the Union than
in it, we insist on the letting them go in peace.
The right to secede may be a revolutionary
one, but it exists nevertheless. * * * We
must ever resist the right of any State fit re
main in the Union and nullify or defy the laws
thereof. To withdraw from the Union is quite.
another matter. Whenever a considerable
section of our Union shall deliberately resolve
to go out we shall resist all coercive measures
designed to keep it in. We hope never to live
in a republio whereof one section is pint's/to
another by bayonets.
From the Tribune, Now. 280860
If the cotton States unitedly and earnestly)
wish to withdraw peaceably from the Union,.
we think they should and would be allowed to
do eo. Any attempt to compel them• by force•
to remain would be contrary to the principles
enunciated in the immortal Declaration of In
dependence, contrary to the fundamental ideas
oti which human liberty is based.
From the Tribune, Dee, IT, 1880.
If it (the Declaration of Independence)pisti
fied the secession from the British empire of
three millions of colonists in 1776,we do net see
why it would not justify the secession of five
millions of Southrons from the Union in 1861.
From the Tribune s Feb , Z 5 nom
Whenever it shall be clear that the great
body of the Southern people have become con
clusively alienated from the Union, and an.r.
it, we will do our best to
ious to escape from
forward their views.
If Vellandigham, the Unionist, is to be com
pared to Benedict Arnold, will the Post be
good enough to, let us know whom Greeley,
the secessionist and disunionist, is to be com
pared to ?—N. Y. World.
THE WIT or THE BOURSE.—Among the specu
lators with which Paris abounds is a Jew who
is noted not only for his luck but his wit. He
had to preside over a meeting of indignant
shareholders, who called him and his brother
direetorA very ugly names. At last, one poor
duped wretch jumped up, and, addressing the
chairman, cried out : "You mean to eat us up."
"Oh, dear, no!" calmly replied, the Jewish
capitalist, "my religion forbids that." The
rising was, of course, quelled by that ambigu
ous joke, but the following day the smart mil
lionare, pretending that his honor was
wounded, sent a challenge to an outspoken bar
rister who had been his principal accuser.—
His seconds, however, received for answer the
acute remark : " Usually a highwayman asks
for either one's life or purse, but P
demands both. He shall have neither." Re
cently, the head of the fraternity said in a
sneering way to Baron Rothschild, with whom
he is on very bad terms, that he too was incited
by lofty ambition, and expected a Barony,--%
"You are mistaken," quietly answered the
money-king ; "I am a banker and you are an
indastriel. Now banking at all times produced
Barons, butinduatrie has never brought forth
anything higher than Chevaliers."
A COMICIAN FEIID.-A Vienna (Tenn.) 00r
respondent of a Cincinnati paper writes :
"A strange family feud, quite 'Corsican' In
its character, came to light some `time ago,
while we were at Cunningham's Ford. There
were two families, Bently by name; residing
there. These brothers had not spoken to each
other for forty years. They nor their families
have had any intercourse whatever; never re
cognizing each other; there they had resided ,
side by side, farms adjoining. One could not
go to church, or meeting of any kind, or to
town, without passing his brother. While
we were there the elder brother died, and he
was buried by his children. The other family
knew nothing of it until told by our soldiers.
The cause of the estrangement was. that in di
viding the land left them, more than forty
years ago, one claimed the line was drawn
some ten feet too far south, thus losing to the
other about six acres of ground, the value at
that time being about twenty-five cents per
acre. This feud is now an inheritance, we
suppose, to be handed down for ever."
