Speaker Colfax exposed the character
of certain leading men who composed th'
Chicago Convention, than which the Hart
ford Convention was but a microscopic
specimen Of unqualified and unde6ned in.
iquity. Dark as we're the designs of the
latter the former for its treason 10 a.
much blacker as the intensity of midnight
is greater than twilight.
The leaders had served their lives long
to treachery and political trickery, and
their success in the past, while it stilled
to quiet the qualms of conscience, at the
same time emboldeued them to enter up
on grand scheme of treason, treachery
and crime.
1t is hard trial of patience and for
bearaucs for the struggling but tried pa
triots of the country to bear it. When
every fiber of loyal men. in and out of the
army, is stretched to attenuation and
their emotions yelling up to find appro-
pirate uttersnce because of the manifold
occasions for their demonstration, to find
band Of desperate characters, whose evil
designs we're only equalled by their de-
praved spirits. planning and plotting the
ruin of n government whose liberal leni-
ency allowed them to do SO.
1t is an old trite saying that "that
which is bred in the bone comes out in |
the fesh," and in this instance it is clear
that the leaders of this assemblage of
treason have always been So many antag-
onisms to our Democratic form of Gov
eminent or one of any kind which was
truly free There is certainly feeling,
aggravated to the highest pitch among
loyal men, to seize the whip and clash the
rascals around the world"
