The quarrel between the President
and Congress was forced upon W. by
Mr.. Johnson, who did not from the
time he assumed the duties of the Of
flee which devolvcd upon him, inteml
10 agree with Us. Congress did not
enact n single measure that was not az
some future time laid out by him.
Then why, you will ask, did he not
cooperate. IN tell you why. lie
formed an alliance with men whom n.
thought Ia corrupt, In order that he
might again bc put in Office. This act
was tried years ago by Tyler, but IL was
not then near rs criminal n il is az this
time. What shall we say OF man
elected by the Union party who en-
deayors TO form an alliance with men
who threw every impedimcnt possible
in our way, to prevent Us from crush
ing the great rebellion? Look ut
Vallandigham, Pendleton & Go. These
are the men ] refer TO. / shall never
forget that when We were in the midst
OF the most gigantic war ever known
upon the face OF the globe, those
! treacherous men whom i have men-
toned, acting with dcliberation and
determination, refused to vote a man
OF a dollar TO the support Of the Gov
ernment. They said that our armies
should not be paid. Mr.. Pendlcton
(and | say ii OF my own knowledge)
never voted man or Il dollar for the
suppression Of the rebellion, and in tho
halls OF Congress spoke against time,
in order that such appropriation bills
which were before the House might
be defeated. lie was no better, and Of
NJ more use to the people Of the North,
than il he had been on the other side
Of the line. hope the soldiers in this
audience will remember this. ii was
he, soldiers, who endeavorcd to restrain
you from receiving your money and
/ food, and still he comes before Won
now and asks for your suffrage. VIII
you vote for him? Cries of "no,
nevcr.n But I need not have asked
the question, for | am not afraid that
hc will ever get any votes from that
quarter.
Mr.. johnson and Davis stand exactly
on the same platform. Davis is for
johnson, and johnson for Davis
The speaker then went on at con-
siderable length 10 review the course
of Mr.. Johnson for the past several
years, and the bitterness OF the Demo-
cratic press toward him during the
war, and showed that as soon az Mr..
Johnson went over TO the traitors the
whole Democratic press sustained him.
There is no escape from the issue. II

either 10 return the good, honest Union
men who have done so much for YOU,
or send in their places men who pro-
nounccd the war and its object a
gigantic failure. Will you give your
votes to man who, during the whole
of the rebellion, was active in raising
men and money, or will you give
them to q man who never voted man
nor a dollar?
