at st. Louis, last week. 1t contains
nothing but the rawlings of bcsotted
and debauched denlagogue. He pro-
poses to '.fkiek Congress /, out, and
wants to ,H'hsng Thad., Stevens and
Wendell Philips" He has the. brazen
effrontery to charge the New Orleans
Massacre on Congress, as q plot of

the Radical Congress, [great cheering,
and cries of 'bnlly,'l you will find
