I osy wss to be sapsnd nded, whether for food
for The soldiers or for anything else. Not
ono dollar hss been. voted that could be
spent in any way sgaiust the rebellion
and In favor Of the Government. Idefy
his friends to day to point me 70 one line
or one syllsble ever written or ustesed by
him 10 favor of restoring the Govern.
meut BY putting down the re ellion--not
word. But il you will read his speech,
e., you win 6ad that he has preached SO.
eeesion; you will iud that he has sdvo.
! Gated Sssse Rights, snd said that he be.
| lieved the pc, pie Of the South had .
right to secede, and the Government had
no right to cocscs them back into the
Uniou. This is the doctrine he has nd,
vocsted, end upon shst record people ask
me to vote for him. Again, defy any
msu to show me his letter accepting bis
nomination on the Chioago plstform.-
Where is It! Why Is it that no man can
6ud isl .-l: -. .,...."-l...
He hss never accepted that nominsticA
except by simple scquiescenoe, aud BY
his being put on the ticket. Why is
this, I ssy? Becsuss the Chicsgo Con -
vsntion knew when they adopted that
plstfo,m that McCieIlsn would write .
soft lettss--sort of for war, saying that
he knew the Cooveutios vas for war, but
they forgot to cay 20. daughter. They
have prevented Geo. H. Pcndletou from
writing letter, and venture to say that
he never will write one. Because if they
wanted a letter from him-uoless they
wrote it themsc ves--he has been in the
habit of speaking treason that he could
not write anything else. 1t would damn
him before the people, and they knew it.
ANDY JoHNsoN-TuE DIFFERENCE.
lead Andy Johusou's letter. 1t
breathes nothing but devotion to the Uni.
on. He is also Tennes.eeau. He an.
swers the party that nominated him, lay
ing aside oil bis political prejudices and
willing 10 do what ho can to save the
country. Contrast him with George II.
PeudIctoo, who, as have said, has de.
nounced the war in the halls Of Congress,
and voted against carrying it on. To day
Mr.. Pendleton stands hand 10 hand with
VaIl.ndighan, Wood, and other North.
ern trsi'ors, denouncing every man con-
nected with the war, and throwing every
clog in the way of the North-doing his
very best to hinder the progress Of the
armies of the United States. What has
Andrew johnson been doing? He lived
10 Tennessee, aud was in the U State
Senate when that State seeded. What
did he do? He told the traitors that the
State might secede, but Andrew john
son never. He stood there and dcnounc.
ed JEFF Davis, Slidell, Mason, Benjamin
and tAs -shnlA- arasd-@ Said he, ..If 1
were President Of the United States |
would arrest you as traitors--try you as
traitors snd hang you as traitors" He
told them that treason was ranking 10
their hearts, and as they we're dstcrmin.
cd to break up this Government, SO long
IS he lived they weud find him for war.
When Tennessee seeded old Andrew
johnson went home. They drove him
from his State because he would not take
sides with the rebellion, but he told them
he would die first He went to Ohio aud
from there to Washington. When our
army went to Tennessee driving Mr.
Bragg out, he went in. He has been
setting the part Of a patriot and states
man ever since, punishing treason and
trsitors whenever they stslked abroad in
tho land. There is difference between
these men. And yet an asked to vote
for Mcclellan and Pendletou. Gentle.
men, won't do it. Applsuse. John.
son aud I fought against secession and
secessionists when the war broke out.
We are fighting against them now We
stood together then, aud We stand togeth.
er now, aud for this we are called Aboli
tionists.
VINO THE REBELS FAVOR. !
Now, my fellow couotrymen, can say
to you to. day, that the rebels are advo-
eating tho election Of George B. MoClel
Ian and George II. Pendle,on. | can
prove it. And they have good reason
for it too. don't ssy this because l be.
lieve George B. Mcclellan TO be traitor,
for don't believe any such thing. But
I believe he is used for the very purpose
l have stated, and if elected President
he would gather around him such men IS
Vallandigham, Richmond and Israclite
Belmont. He would be only tool in the
hands Of these men, through which thc|
would sct 10 order to give the Southern
Confsdsrasy its independence. Zap
piauss.
Not lcng ego there was speech made
in Southern Alsbsma by L. F. McCurry
He was member Of Congress when l
served, and very talented man. After
the South seeded, aud when this rebel.
lion commenced, he was elected member
Of the Confederate Congress, and served
there with credit to himself, as far ss a
man could 10 Congress of that kind -
daughter He returned home a short
time sgo, aud made speech to his fel
low citizens. l happened to bs far down
10 Dixie At that time. I found one Of
the papers contailirg this speech It
was made to his fellow. citizens. Now,
do you know who Congressman's fellow
citizens are 10 the Southern Confcderacy?
