The day for such Infamous outrages must
speedily pass away. The sentiment OF the
more decent men even OF the Republican
party is turning against it. There will
come time when such outrages shall not
only De no longer committed, but when the
condemnation of all right thinking men
shall rest upon all who are engaged in them
Ia the meantime it is the duty OF every
Democratic editor 10 the country to speak
out boldly and fearlessIy, as P. Gray Meek
has done. If arrested he can show the

disgrace thrown upon the nation by the
drunkenness OF Andrew Johnson, the Vice
President chosen by Abolitionsls assisted
by the bayoneL The scene as described by
lbe loyal papers is given in The following
report of his speech:
Twas not only a ninety ninth rate stump
speech, but disgraceful in the exlrsme. He
had mol proceeded far when Senators on
the Republican side began to hang their
heads, sink down in their seats, look at
each other with significance, as much as TO
say; ''Is hs crazy, or what is the matter ~
They exhibited tn every feature great un-
easiRess. There was no ms,aking the fact
that the senators were mortified in the ex-
sreme. The Democratic senators leaned
forward and appeared to be chuckIing with
each other over the figure made by the Re-
publican parry through their Vice President
elect. The foreign ministers showed un-

seats unable to SIT still under The exhibition

members of the House of Repre- sentatives,
they did not reach the Senate until several
minutes after twelve, and they were MOI
subjected to but small portion OF this
scene. The speech was disconnected, the
sentences so incoherent that il is imDossi-
bic to give an accurate report OF his speech.
As his sentences came up in the reporters
gallery, the statements taat your President

object for which the insurgents would rend
