211 - L. Jan. 23; ed:2/2 - Wallandigham Fund - The blessed martyr must
take great comfort in his unfortunate and indigent exile from the ten-
cent fund raised for him by friends in Ohio.
"No citizen in Ohio, we are sure, would hestitate to subscribe 10g to
preserve the life of men so misguided as Wallandigham. Ladies, enlarge
your field, we'll guarantee denotations." (3)

213 - L. May 28; ed: 1/1,2 - Wallandigham occupies a suite of rooms at the
Hirons House in Windsor, Canada. His sitting-room windows face the
river, giving him a view of the water front of Detroit. He sits with
field glasses in his hand, watching all who cross on the ferry. All who
see him must have satisfactory introductions. About every three weeks
he makes a trip into the interior. Strange to say, no one crosses the
river to see him during his absence, but immediately upon his return his
room is full of guests. They are deserters from the Rebel army, Rebel
agents, spies and riff-raff of outlaws made up of Morgan's men.
"It may be observed, however, that if the accumulation of dirt is any
criterion of the exact locality of the (aegis), Windsor must certainly
be the place." - (17)

Canada; Detroit, Mich.; Hirons House (Windsor, Ont.); Morgan, Gen.; Vallandigham, Clement L.; Windsor, Ont.

214 - L. June 17; ed: 2/1 - Wallandigham reappears. He looks upon the
180,000 men who voted for him as backers. If taken by legal process, he
proposes to submit. He misrepresents his case again, endeavoring to shift
the burden of his responsibility.
"Mr. Wallandigham made a very feeble attempt to justify himself in his
present return, endeavoring by reiterating the same ideas he advanced a
year ago, to prove that his arrest was unjust." (9)

Vallandigham, Clement L.

215 - L. June 19; ed: 2/1 - Wallandigham might be favored with renewed
martyrdom, by reasons of his re-arrest. Sympathy for him would enable his
followers to control the Chicago convention. The real party managers are
alarmed; they know that the martyr added 50,000 votes last fall to the
Union party in Ohio. "In their inmost heart they wish Wallandigham had
never returned to Ohio." (5)

Chicago, Ill.; Ohio; Union party; Vallandigham, Clement L.

216 - L. Oct. 17; ed: 2/1 - A report from Judge Advocate Holt tells of
secret treason societies existing in the North, whose objective has been
to assist Rebel states to secure their independence.
"We do not believe that any great number of people would themselves
engage in open revolution, but may have been induced by wicked leaders to
join treasonable organizations, and might be led by them to open revolu-
tion." (6)
