and desplSed Andrew Johnson as lopS
as he was Union man, because they
hate and despise loyalty; and if An
drew johnson is popular in the South
to-day, it is at the expense of his pat
riotism. IApplauso.l Tell me that
twenty five millions of people, armed
in the holy cause of liberty. are de-
pendent upon one mani We can put
down rebellion, and Andrew johnson
to boot Loud applause
From Chicago be went to the city OF
st. Louis and there he charged the
outrages and the murders at New Or
leans, recently, upon the Congress of
the United States What, in the name
of God, has Congress done, that they
should be charged with murder? Did
Congress want these men assassnated?
Didn't Congress merely want justice
done in the South? Doesn't Congress
say, Let loyal men control the country?
Doesn't Congress say, Let the black
man be protected? =? Where, | ask you,
is there u word from any loyal Con-
gresham that could be construed into
advice OF that character? Driven to a
fearful necessity of explaining that
thing, in his agony he cries out, "ltis
the result of what Congress has done"
Don't you know that every man that

And yet Andrew Johnson says that the
members of that convention were trail

is he not their friend He is the
friend OF all tho balance of the trai-
tors,-why not include themr Ap.

it is greater crime to be Il traitor to
"my policy" than it is to be q traitor
to liberty and Justice. Applause.
Mr.. Johnson tells us that he dares
Congress to impoach him. Congress
will never try il unless he is guilty,
and unless they can substantiatc their
impeachments. Yet you know, and so
do / that il the President of the Uni.
tod States is guilty Of treason, the 10y

age to bring him to punishment
