ernment when he and Slidell, anoth-
or educated thief, were handed over
to British ship in Boston harbOr,
would have tied them together by the
neck, locked them fast 10 a grindstone,
and tossed them where Adams and Ham
cock threw the tea. Sidell wears a face
which the Almighty meant as an adver-
tisement that nobody should ever mistake
him for an honest man. A glorious gov
ernment they have got in the South

Savior, aud ever since they parted his
raiment at the cruciixion have been deal
ing in ready-made clothing. This little
Judah Peter Benjamin wrote me note
before l left saying that as / was a very
bad and dangerous man, he would send
me out of the State with military es--
cort. / answered if he would do that
| would do more for the Confederacy
than the devil ever did, would quit the
country. At the same time, he wrote to
Crow Ramsey, District Attorney in East
Tennessee, to let the Union men hang on
gallows, by the roadside, until the flesh
rotted off of their bones, as a warning
and terror to all loyal people. | was
never expelled from Yale College for
reaking open my fellow students trunks,
and stealing their watches and clothes,
but Benjamin cannot say as much and tell
the truth. He boarded in Rochester,
New York, four months with poor wild
Ow, and ran off without paying his bill,
and it is unpaid TO this day. The South
ern Confederacy is headed by rogues,
thieves, perjurers, and liars. There are
better men in the Penitentiary; yes, bet
ter men in hell Some who have sneaked
in here tonight, and slipped into cor
ner, afraid Of being seen, will call this
hard talk. Call it just what you please,
All ask of such persons is, not to say
anything in my favor, Before this re-
bellion broke out, thirteen Senators from
the Cotton States, and three times that
number of Representatives, had taken a
solemn oath to support the Constitution
and Laws of the United States. They
kissed the Bible in the presence of men,
and lifted their eyes and hands to God
to attest their sincerity. Seeming to go
through the forms Of law, in the day
time they sat in Congress; they served
on committees; they offered bills and
resolutions; they voted; they drew their
per diem and mileage; and then at night
they assembled in secret room, rented
for that purpose, and from eleven o'clock
at night until three il the morning, plot
ted the ruin Of that Constitution they
had sworn TO maintain. | pronounce
them all unmitigated, perjured scoun-
drels. Instead of sitting in Congress, and
serving in the army, they ought to be
seized, and ought to be furnished with
lancet to cut out their lying tongues
and feed them to dogs. Therefore, in
sist that there are better men in the Peni-
Tertiary, and in hell, than these rebel
leaders; including Breckinridge, blOat-
ed sot, who has been skulking about Muir
freesboro, and clustering about coming
to Nashville. Let him come on CA
voice: "He's hunting for more water. "
No he isn't. He is only hunting for more
