ejecting from the air-cells coagulated matter,

their peculiar action on that part, they cause

The Presidential tour.


No President Of the United States was
ever before known to descend from his
high position, during his term Of office
for the purpose of making stump
speeches. Andrew Johnson with a bag
gage car and two passenger cars and a
small select company left Washington
for the ostensible purpose of going to
Chicago to attend the laying of the
foundation of the Douglas monument.
At Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
Albany, Rochester, and other smaller
places he harangued the people. The
character of his remarks have been the
same in every case-abuse of those
who oppose him and praise of himself.
1t has been, "Who has done more than
II" II take my stand on the flag of
my country" my countrymen let
me stand before you to-day, and could I
look each of you in the eye, and had he
the power to look into the recesses ofmy
heart he would there ascertain who had
been traitors" Common Uniou men
carry the flag above them. They are
not in the habit of examining the heart
of the President to find traitors; but we
have no doubt such search would be
successful, Us the President has more
room in his heart for traitors than for
loyal men. a.s +.sE .... -s.. d. fs,#.. u
