The Democratic (constitutionalist) Party of the federal enclave of Ohio nominates exiled former Democratic de facto Representative Clemet L. Vallandigham in absentia (411 -11) as its candidate for Governor.  Vallandigham runs his campaign from a hotel in Windsor, Ontario, where he pledges—if elected—to illegally withdraw Ohio (which is not a State) from the compulsory Union if Republican (nationalist) President Abraham Lincoln, of the united States, does not come to terms with the Confederate States.
