GCbeers and laughter And all this was
seized upon by the Radicals to prejudice
the people against Andrew Johnson
II was q vile and atrocieus SANDER, ar
the man who makes it disregards the
respect due to the chief Executive OF the
nation in whose person is the embocl'
ment of its dignity and power.

Is not slavery dead2 Do We not all
stand pledged to support the Union
What is the purpose OF these mens "hi;'
misleads them? They have no kno"l-
edge OF the people. The idea of the pea,
pie don't seem to enter their heads, al: q
| the man who ignores the people seeks 10
destroy this Government. These kaoi-
Gals hold that they are far in advance VI
the people, and that the people can cone
to them after awhile. They even pro-
pose to force the people to this; But
they are minority. The Republican
party in 1860 was a minority party ard
he told it so. II only had existence IN
one-halt of the Union and in the othor
half it was totally ignored. The Radl'
Gals would not let in the Southern Union
men then and they refuse to allow them
admission now because they are AFRAID
that if the South is re-admitted. it will
give it's votes to the Democratic party
and they will have to walk out OF office.

the welfare of the country, and he was
willing to trust them. Perhaps turn
about once in while was the safest way
after all. He remembered when he and
his friend (the Chairman, exCongresS-
man Kuhn) were Wings and the Demo-
Gratis IN office, things used to go on very
we'll indeed, aud when the Democrats
went out and tie Wings got in things
went on Just as we'll as before. Laugh
Ter and applause.] But the Radicals
were very much afraid of the people,
and hence they opposed the policy, OF
President johnson. Senator Fessendel D.,
of Maine, thought the people Of the
South were unit to be restored. The
man who procaims these things declares
that the Government has lost its founda
ton. and this WIS and is the distinguish
inc feature of the Radicals. They say ::
What, admit I, bells to power again Y
Why then if those men are not to be re-
admitted to power then what
have we been fighting for during
these last forr or five years What
did we sacrifice SOC. 1000 lives for
what did we expend nearly $4,000, OOO,-
600 for-if it was not for restoration
of the Union and reconciliation with the
