Mr. Vallandigham's exile.

The transportation of the Hon. C. L. Vallandigham to the Southern Confederacy is an act of very cool impudence on the part of Lincoln. His attempt to make these States a sort of Botany Bay, to which to send condemned persons, is in keeping with his general policy of repudiating all law, all right, and all propriety in his proceedings. We apprehend our Government will raise a question on this point. Lincoln ought not to be allowed to himself of persons convicted under his summary military process in this manner. He should be forced to dispose of them within his own jurisdiction. Let him buy a bit of land for penal colony, if he has any money that will pass abroad, or can command credit enough for that purpose. If he cannot, he has prisons enough at home. He should not be allowed to send his condemned subjects here; if for no better reason, we should not permit him in that way to seek to avoid the issue raised by his way to seek to avoid the issue raised by his own people touching the constitutionality and lawfulness of the proceedings in the case of Vallandigham.
