President Of tho United States. No one can

directly with tho two characters since tho
rebellion broke out, but will say At once tha,
there are principles and questions involved
which demand the serious considerations Of
tho people Of our district, and in which the
loyalty ofour President is somewhat impair.

Hon. Member Of Congress aimee 1860, a.
shown by his patriotism for his country in

no man is moro free from cngcndcrine seeds
Of dislcy atty throughout our Republic than
tho one which our Hon. Member would
make US believe that the majority Of Cons
gross should override. All reflective men
can see to-day that the veto Of Civil Rights
and Frecdmen's Bureau bills has had ten

the part Of congress
