In the matter of Clement L. Vallandigham, an Ohio Copperhead, who denounced
Burnside's General Order No. 38, forbidding public expressions of sympathy
for the Confederacy. Vallandigham decried Burnside's order in a speech. He
was arrested, tried by a military commission, and banished by Lincoln
beyond the Federal lines. As set forth in this pamphlet, Pres. Lincoln
refused to release Vallandigham from prison. [Sabin 41159. Monaghan 242.]
