In facs the frauds, swindies aad steal
ings committed upon the Treasury, In the
language Of an Auctionesr are sstoo mn
merOas and too tedious to nention,n and
we rsfer cur readers to the able spseeh
Of the Hox. Ma. VAN WICK, (Rspubhcan)
from New York and Chairman of the
Congressional Committee tAat has been
for the last six months, investigating, the
specuiasions, frauds and robbaEies that
have been committed upon the public
Treasury. The speech Is mere synopsis
Of the report Of the Oommitsas whish
makes large volume Of thousands of
pages and is too large for general eiscu-
Iasion. The facts girsn are Sickening In
the extreme, developing continued Sc
ries of the most stupeadiaus speeulations,
frauds and Eobbsries; systematic and |
unparalleled course Of plundaring and |
robbery unequalled in the history Of the |
world. Heretofore the frauds committed /
upon the Government have only amount
ed to hundreds Of khoasaads Of dollars;
bat the report shows these hare run to
millions that are not only counted by /
tens, but by hundreds. The mask of pat
Eiosism has been siezsd upon by these
treasury plumbers and villains, to hide
their true characters and while they hare
been hnFrahing for the war and denoune-
ing all as secessionists who would not
quietly aequlesee In thsir schemes Of
plander and endorse thea Is the only pat
riots Of the Land, they hare thrust their
arms into the Treasury Of the Nation and
robbed it of incredible sums. AfR. Van
WTcK in his report and speech gives the
names Of the most conspicuous of these
man and their modes of operation. I,
We ask ait of oar readers to read The
spesch Of Mr. VAS WrcK, which will be
found In this issue, and then hand the
paper TO his nsighboF to read. Tho
speech is e Republican document--it is
furnished by Republican, who has not
irawn upon his Imagination bus sold
plain unvagnished sale.p Let the people
cad the speech and then say what pun
shment ought 10 be awarded to those
zampires, who, under tho preseaes of
,atriosism and agents of the Government,
ieze upon the opportunity to fattsa and
row rich on the life blood of the Nation.
