The opposition to Gov. Johnson and

to be assuming a more ultra and treason.

that no man who honestly supports the

denunciations and hate Of the Northern al

soon be telling the people what they
think of such sham Unionists.
Messrs. Lowry, Penny, and Johnson,
from the Committee on Federal Relations,
have reported adversely to the petitions,

practically, one Of the schemes of the
Rebels to disgust the four and . half
millions (boud and free) of the colored
people against the Unionists Of the North.
The report was ordered printed-the mi
pority Of the Committee contenting them
selves with opposing the printing Of 5000
copies. Mr.. Donovan (Dem. suggested
that they be all in German.
Some of the most respected and infu.
