warning t. sy8pathixers.
The Select Committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges Of disloyalty pre-
ferred against Senator Starke, Of Oregon
have reported against him and come t,
the following specific conclusions
LIST. That for many months prior to th'
first Of November, 1861, and up to tina
time, Mr.. Starke was an ardent advocat.
of the cause Of the rebellious States.
I'd. That after the formation of thu
Constitution Of the Confederate States, b.
openly declared his admiration for it, and
desired the absorption of the loyal States
of the Union into the Southern Confed
cracy, under that Constitution, as the on.
ly means Of peace, and warmly avowinp
his sympathy with that cause.
Sd. That the Senator from Oregon il
disloyal to the Government of the United
States.
ln addition to the Republican members
Of the Committee, Senators Wright, Of
Indiana, and Wiley, Of Virginia, con :
Cured in the report.
Starke has been an unwavering Val
landigham- Mahony Locofoco from the
start, but has recently, iky Mahony. dis.
guised his treason under affected intense
devotion to the Constitution. He is to
day just such locofoco as Mahony, Jone.
and Co., who carried the Dubuque cleo
ton, and as Clagett who charges the res
possibility and the guilt of the war upor
the Republican administration and advo
Gates peace and compromise with oper
rebels and hostile traitors. The traitor
sympathizing peace advocates of our STATE
are not in the Senate, and are too insig
ni6csnt to incur the notice of the Gov
eminent, but oil loyal men should mark
them and hold them up to public repro
baton. Starke is Senator and his dis
loyalty justly depriyes him of q seat il
the Senate as the representative Of loya
men, but similar sentiments held by mel
in less scattered positions arc equally 70
prehensible, and loyal men should dis
countenance them by every means in thei
power.
