Mr.. PREsIDLNr and GENrLENES: IL gives me great
pleasure to take even the hunblest part in the act
which you have just performed trust that 1t will
end in the election of cur candidate, Mr.. John ID.
Haskin lCheers. came here to-day, not to speak
for him on any personal selfish or mere political
account but because at the last session of Congress
be had distinguished himself by opposing the
Kansas policy Of The Administration, and
the various frauds Introduced into that body.
No doubt YOU are a. familiar with the Of Mr..
Haskn in Congress as | am. None can show
croditabe ard honorable record than is contained in
the pamphlet entitled The Course of the Hon John
h. Haskn in Congress, which | suppose you all
have read with interest well profit. 10 most of
the frauds brought before Congress he made de-

80 faithfully opposed corrupt Administration. We
are told by the organs Of the President that the
Kansas question is dead that there il occasion for
discussing that issue at the polls. The newspapers Of
this morning tel u that the guiotine j. working in
Illinois 10 ft.h those who don't agree with the Admin

why do the Administration pursue this yindic-

GOyenn eEt 20 punish every who dared 10 be- in.
