issue of the Columbia Democrat"
Observation-Disclosures, during the pres.
ent crisis through which our country is now
passing, it becomes the absolute duty of
every man to show the position in which
he stands, regardless Of party and party
ties. Therefore
Resolved, That the period has arrived
when every truly loyal citizen considers
C. l.. Vallandigham traitor Of the rank
est die, and no more to be respected by the
loyal North than jeff Davis or any of his
coagtors.
Resolved That we also consider all
those irrespective Of party, that sympa-
thizo with the arch traitor Vallandigh
by giving funds for his support, or col.
lectlng names for the same, o less traitors
than he, and all papers that are endeavor-
ing TO elicit sympathy for him directly or
indirectly are no longer worthy Of the pa.
tronage of an American citizen.
, On motion of MICHAEL WnIrMoYER,
] an Abolition Senator, the above resolu-
tons were ordered to be printed in the
couety papers, together with the yeas and
nays. The yeas were IA; and nays 2,
a follows -
ItaS,-- Bockley, Whitmoyer, White,
Bowen, Ely, Potter, Very, P. s. Rishel,
Penman, Jamison, c. A, Meyer, Il. b.
Brewer, w. Il. Abbott, and Bennet.
Nays.-P II, Freeze, and A. B. Tate.
10 compliance with the request embod.
led in the foregoing proceedings, VIC gave
them the desired publication, and not to
appear unparlameutary, we annexed the
yess and nays, as recorded, at the time OF
their passage. As the "Local Senate y
sits with open doors, it would appear like
an imputation upon the members, to sup
pose that they desired to conceal theii
public acts or avoid an investigation iutC
their proceedings. And yet, for this act
and this alono, at their meeting on Tues
day evening last the abolltionists through
their patriotic leader; Rec. Daniel A
Beckley, passed upon us, the subjoined
vote Of censure -
Hcsoirct, That a vote of ccnsure be pas
s:d upon A. b TATE, the Senator iron
Virginia, for II base betrayal Of the con
. hdence OF This body.
f Here we have the fact, undeniably pre-
scnted, that the abolition members of tn
Bioom,burg Local Senate, have passe,
+ Resolutions in the heat of excit cnent, c
! which, on maturer reflection, they ar
heartily ashamed. BY their own acts the,
staud condemned before tie world. W

JAcNSoH, "take the responsibility an
most chaerfully bear their censure, bcliey
ins it far preferable TO their praise.

a attempt to stab ia the dark, and since the
