The fact that Andrew G Curtin stands

many sins with which he stands charged -

corpus, the suppression of freedom OF speech
and OF the press, the seizure, abduction and
imprisonment of citizens guilty of no OF

and and one other crimes against liberty
and the Constitution of which the Federal
Administration has been guilty. His sup

Gus measures which have deIuged the coun-
Try with blood and brought i: to the verge
of ruin, which his supporters claim as
virtue, me:iting success, the people look
upon as crime deserving not only defeat,
but execration.
His professed love for the soldier is The
merest clap-lrap of demagogism, and none
but toU demagogue would resort to il as a
plea for support. Had he done only his
duty towards the Pennsylvania soldiers,
they would not have suffered hal: they have
done, and they know it. This plea will
moi avail; and if none better founded can
be urged in his behalf he might as we'll

goes, McHenry himself seized the wretca-
