Not sour Congressman"
Some true Union men last fall voted
for "GeneraF' I'm. H. hitler for Congress,
on account Of personal objections to bis
opponent, and coDflDg in his protesta,ions
of loyalty aud devotion to the Union aud
the energetic prosecution Of the war. But
he is now elected and Saturday week made
speech at a Democratic meeting in
Carlisle. The Frankiia Repository gives
the following account of the man and his
speech, from which it appears that he too
is a regular "COppcrhead," and some of
those who voted for him made q sad
mistake:
"From his general appearance, hi, hair
hanging over his eyes, aud the style Of his
address, il is but fair to conclude that he Is a
filter subject for some insane asylum, or some
prison, Ihan for the Halls Of our next Con-
sress. He is surely insane, OF deeply dyed
with treason. Nearly every sentiment
uttered by him, might readily have been ap-
plauded on-the streets of Richmond, and
could have been done with perfect safety.
He appeared brimfu!l OF sympathy for the
Rebels, not single sentence was uttered bv
him against them; but, giving himself full
swing, he clamored and raved against Presi-
dent Lincoln going on like madman against
the .insuferable u>urper and despot.'
"In referring to his friend and fellow Dem.
ocrai,' Valiandigham, he said, 'lhere are
plenty of men who would be very willing 10
exchange with President Daris, and give
Lincoln for vallandig ham,
1--WE say, down with the villain who thus
boldly bares his traitor heart, aud is hypo-
critical enough TO mingle with his treasona-
be speech pltiful winnings for the Union.
Do his friends who endorse his course not
fear for the RESULT Do they not see the seed
Of discord and disloyalty which he is so in
dustriously sowing, and which has to some
extent taken root! Every man is an enemy
10 the Government who publicly prociaims
his opposition to measures adopted by the
Administration for the suppression OF the re-
bellion, il matters not whether his name be
valandigham CT Miller. /, is teaching DISC
be.lience 10 the laws.
"Pursued by the jeers Of some boys, who
had heard him defend Nalandigham and Bit
terly assail our Chief Magistrate, Miller was
escorted 10 his hotel, and when he thought he
was safely out of reach of the juveniles, he
gave vent to his Indignation by calculating,
rhe blackguards = There was a storm of
laughter, which did mischief to no one save
the speaker, who passed into The hotel and
vas seen and heard no more"
After such exhibitions, the truly loyal
people Of the Union will be more careful
Of listening to the fair promises of any
man who gets the "Copperhead" support.
The so-called "Democratc" machine is
now run BY the Rebel allies, although /
many honest men do not suppose their
votes are thus bought and sold.
