NUMBER A.

through Europe, Asia aud Africa; L
have asceudcd the tallest riountains
and stood upon the highest psaks; i
have viewed the moon aud sun in ali
their spleudor; have seen the fivers
rs they weut smoothly along; / have
watched the white caps burst; the
ship amount the mighty waves; all
that | can account for in my philoso-
ply, to sec how that COW got Though
that hole can not Imagine.
Now, fellow citizens, | eau COT ac-
count for fallandigham's getting
where he Is. | Iiud lfini going around
among the soldiers, appealing 10 them
to ropudiate this party because, as he
says, il Is inimical 10 the installations
of this country. He indorscs Andy
Johnsons recent proclamation, al
though IL was issued Ni'hoat authorS
ity of law; for in 1866 the act duthofI
iziug the President 10 issue an auines. Y
ty to these traitors, aud under whieh
Lincoln issued his, aud johnson his ;
irst proclamation, was repealed, be-
cause VIC feared johnson wouldexer-'
else powers not intended 10 BE given
in that law. In this last proclama- %
ton he pardonod oil rebel officers be-
low the rank Of Brigadier General,
aud in his next, which he will be apt
to issue in due time. he will include
Lee aud Beaurcgard, aud all otlier Of
fccrs, aud JEFF. Davis himself lie
will do it ia violation Of the law, aud |
without their asking for IL. This will
be his course, unless Congress inn
peaches him. and if they do not inn
peach him, they ought to be impeached
themselves. Great applause. 'h
4 Ifyou had Jef. Davis iu the Pres.
idluts chair; or Robert Il. Lee, e. uld
they have done more for the rebels {
than johnson has done since he has
boon President? IL they could, l..
would like to know in what way. If
Joh Davis had been President, What G
would lie have doue7 lie would have
returned all the property cf rebels
back to its owners. johnson has 2
done that. If JEFF. Davis had bccu
President, he would have pardoned all
his fellow rebels. johnson has par. "a
douod nearly all of them. JEFF. would
have denounced Congress, and called
then traitors. johnson he's done as
bad. JEFF. would have relieved Stan o.
ton, because hs had been true and
faithful patriot, johnson has douo
the same. JEFF. would have appoint- /.
cd rebel Governors down there; and
johnson did that very thing. JEFF.
would have vetoed the FTecdmen's
Bureau Bill, the various bills Of re.
construction, tho same rs Johnson
has done. Tell me ono act JEFF. Da-
!, Wis would have done that johnson d
lIas not done. And if you put the
Democrats in power. that will be justiu
what JEFF. Davis would have done. 1at
DISGRACE OF THE NATION. is lp
Look upon this scene. 1t is sad
f,ct. my friends, aud a fearful obes o
I that while Abraham hucoln Ines mol
dering in the grave, JEFF. Davis goes
stalking through the land. What d
commentary upon our Government;c
or rather upon its Administration.
The head of liberty aud of repuL licau
: government; the defender Of the flag
and the Constitution, ia assassiDated
, by Democratic traitor, and the head
, , of treason is bailed out and goes free
: where he pleases in our land. If L.
: : to-day, had it in my power to deal, 1
: out my anger, or manifest rny feels
! ! ings IN regard 20 this matter, would
appeal to heaven to blot out this foul =
stain upon the eseutcheon of the
American people, as water would be
wiped out with q sponge, that the
eye of mau would never behold our
disgrace again. The idea that tho
, American people, the loyal people,
(. the patriotic defenders Of our EIoriz
Gus Rag, the haters of treason, will
allow their chief magistrate to be as
> sassinated, and then to permit the
n head of the hellish organization of
o traitors that was the cause Of his
0 death, to be paraded to and fro in the
D land; to be taken by the hand in the
> great metropolis of the nation-New
Q York-and welcomed there as guest
by portion Of the people, is too dis
I graceful for patriotic rnen Of this
, country to Bear. We claim that We
loved Lincoln; that we loved liberty,
and that we loved justice; we claim
that VIC are proud, patriotic and
noble people, AID yet we allow JEFF.
: Davis his liberty, at the instigation
of Andy johnson, aud through the
weakness Of poor Greedy aud others.
II is because such things exist that
johnson believes that we have not
D the nerve to put him out Of the White
! House. He has the right to believe
: that our Representatives in Congress
cover before his power. IF johnson
, can pardon rebel officers, aud do il in
violation Of law, as he has done ever
since the law giving him that power
was repealed in lS66-if he eau exers
else such power as this with ifhpunity
then we ought not to be free peol-
pie. Some may say it is unwise 20
talk thus; but am free, ontspokeu
man; nobody 10 responsible. for what
| say, except myself aud I say to-
day, so help me heaven, if l had the
power to-day 1 would hufl Andy
johnson out Of the White House, and
plunge him into the gulf Of obseurity
and despair as far as ais iniquities
would carry him. fGreat applause
And while 1 would DO that, would
say to Greeley and his friends, haSS
no respect for you either, 40 for
Johnson he is q poor, drunken, ihbe-
cile, with treaSnn ranking III his very
heart--a man THAT haies loyalty,
hates republicanism, hates freedom;
be only loves and desires power. I
am for cleaning out the Aegean sta
bic, each and every one Of his cOun-
