He opposed resolutions to inquire into the
delivery Of arms. forts, arsenals and Other
property into the hands Of traitors He voted
against the censure oF Toucey fur discharQinR
hounrably officers OF the navy who had stained
their hands with the blood OF treason. He vo-
'rd against a resolution OF thanks To MsinY
-ADderson for taking possession OF Fort Sum
Ter; and in 1861 he voted in favor Of p-ovisO
a loan bill, introduced by Hindman. the re-
bel General, that no part Of the loan should bs
used for the support Of any troops or vessels
making war against the rebels and when the
prOvisO was lost. he voted against the bill.
A man who is opposed to the war and the
army. is not considered loyal. In Walls Re.
cord page 81, he says al Representative IT,
Congress, he never would vote one dollar for
he vigorous prosecution Of the war-not one
dollar for clothing and feeding the soldiers
not one dollar for arms or ammunifion-nOe
one dollar for erecting f0rtifcations or buiId-
ing war vessels. As he terms il: II never
would as Representative in The Congress Of
the United States, vote one dollar of money
whereby one drop Cf American blood should
be shed in civil war; lie would see this
beautiful temple Of liberty crumbe to ruins
before he would purposely hurt single rebel;
our temple Of freedom is not worth one drop
Of rebel blood Who believes this but one
whose soul is black with treason and eorrup-
iiOn? Although this man had sworn to sup
port the Constitution of the Uniied States,
yet he rays on the same page and in connec-
lion with the above, thar If any one or mora
OF the States desire TO secede, and they have
he tight before high heaven TO Judge for
themselves, that he would not spend a dollar
or spill a drop of blood TO save the Union -
And yet he calls himself union man. A few
thousand such union men would sink our couu-
Try in iniamy and damn it with treason. AL
though sworn to support the Constitution Of
The United States, the violation of his oath,
The dissolution of the Union, and the tramp
ling under feet the laws and the constitution,
is not worth one drop of rebel blood or one
dollar Of money! Has perjury before high
heaven no sting? Has treason before God
and man no blot? And yet his friends cry
out Constitution and Union" 1 can't see
why they should take any pains to mention q
htLe matter that was not worth single dol
lar or single drop of traitors blood. Il is
only TO deceive the people. VAL might just
as we'll have said our soldiers might disband
nr siarve and the union and country go 10
sticks for it was mot worth fig any how
man who thinks this GOvernment-this
Union, Our counrry-nOt worth drop Of rebel
blood, or drop OF patriotic blood and one
IOllar, is a black hearted traitor. Such is this
e. L. Varandigham.' Record page lat,
ne says he rever voted for any army bill,
,r navy bill, or army or naEy appropriation
1ilI, since the meeting Of Congress on the 4th
# July, 1861. The soldiers may go mixed,
Jarve or die, so far az any aid from VAL il
it be rebel soldiers. And
suppose he gave them much comfort. for they
appeared to be mighty well pleased with his
Yiait, and passed him at his pleasure through
III their lines. They knew their friend. An
lonest union man would have been hung to
rec before Le would have gone half through
he Southern so called Conftderacy.
Record page 142. be advises his numerous
riends to shoot a soldier down, or stab or kill
i'm in any way possible, if he comes with au-
hnrity from the Secretary of War or I'rcsi.

esist him, if necessary for defence. TO the fa-
ting Of his life. A man who talks about re-
ting the President in the execution OF the
avs, and treating q soldier or officer as a bur.
lar. and says be deserves such treatment, can
ot be loyal man. Call soldier in the dis
harge OF lis duty burglar And has q

very honest man knew 'VaI's' character fully
e would curse him. Men who are honest at
cart are led off and deceived by wicked, cor
1pt and traitorous leaders.
Record, page 1875. he says the militia can
ever be made the butchers or jailOrs Of their
.lIow-citizens; but standing armies Of merre-
aries are Instruments Of tyranny and usurpa-
irn. He says also, on same page. that the
Militia are the guardians Of free speech. What
re we to understand from such langungei-
he freedom Of speech that Vallandigham,
ugh & Co advocate, is the uiteraDee Of irea-
on. Then we conclude that soldiers are but
hers and jaiIors in the eyes Of VAL aid are
aud Instruments Of tyranny and
ppression.
If man sympathizes with the South in this
ebellion, is be not a traitor? Record page
A, he says, "Then, Sir, am not Southern
nan, either--althOugh, in this uncOnstitution-
! ciusade against the South, in the midst Of
be invasion, arson, inSurreclion, murder, TO
shich she has been subject, and with which
he is still ihreatened---with the torch OF the
ssassin suspended over her--my most cordial
ympathies ure wholly with her." This is an
xrract from speech delivered in the House
f Representatives, Dec. 18Th, 1859. II shows
he great affection that VAL has cherished for
lie South Tor years. A lover could not use
much stronger terms to his sweetheart: "Bfy
nest cordial sympdihies are iChOlly aVdh her :"
Record, page 43, he says be has little sym

,es-lhat is, a double oped monkey! No
