meditates and designs forcible resistance to the
authority of Congress. I make this statement
deliberately, having received it from unques-

assembling of Congress, articles of parchment
or it may be for the purpose of forcing the
Southern Senators and Representatives to seats
in Congress. The question may be asked, show

you, the people Of Ohio, will be warned in time,

the mad designs of this bad man who is now
acting President of the United States But,
gentlemen, let me say to you that whenever

STRONG LANGUAaE-The Philadelphia Sun.
day Mercury contains the following 10 its Wash

"Let Congress attempt to depose our worthy
Chief Magistrate. and such hurricane will be
raised as the world never saw. Thirty thousand
armed and equipped militia from the State Of
Maryland, to say nothing of from hundreds Of
thousands from the North, would assemble and
fight for the maintenance Of the government
against the oppressors and usurpers. Then, in-
stead of regal honors at the executive mansion
as contemplated by Mr. Wade, halter would
be his end-a fit punishment for bis treachery
and cootumacy."
