he has lived up TO with scrupulous fidelity,
for 80 far as / know, he has never yet vote /
one dollar to sustain either the army or the
navy of the couatry in the prosecution of this
war.

have been made by men of the same sympa
thies and opinions arc only rehash OF the
speech of my colleague at the extra session. =
While they have no complaints to make OF the
rebels, they denounce what they call the OK.
travagance Of the Administration, and they
attempt to paralyze the energies of the Gov
ernment by charging before the people that
we are running hopelessly into debt.
