Governmental Outrages.


perform at least q part OF their hellish
deeds. Nero had II willing tool in Lo-
custa, when IL was necessary to poison
Britannicus, that he might continue En-
pcror of Rome. Octavian, fearing the
great ability of Cicero, and hating him
for his patriotism, found n murderer for
that celebrated scholar, orator and
statesman, in Mark Antony. The tim
id Minturnians called on thedastardly
Cimbrian to assassinatc the Roman
General Marius, but fortunately for the
General, the assassin was us cowardly
a. his employers. The widow of Poll
dcictes, that she might continue TO be
Queen of Sparta, found willing hire
ling and II lover of bad deeds and dis
honorable women in "yarb and catnip
DOCTOR" who stood ready to destroy
the embryo King of that nation. The
Court of Athens had its degraded beings
to swear out prosecution against Soc
rates their distinguished scholar, and
put him te death, because, as they said,
he did not believe in the gods but in
reality, because they were envious and
jealous of him. Chilperec, one of the
Kings of Australia, procured the ser
vices of domestic to assassinate his
Queen, who was once q Visigothic Prin-
cess, because she would not endure his
concubine. Elizabeth found willing
subject for small favor, too, in the
Earl of Murray, when she imprisoned
and finally brought to the block, Mary,
Queen OF Scotland, that she might pos
sess herself Of that Kingdom. The pu-
sillanimity ofLouis the XIII compelled
him to have desperadoes under his en-
ploy, and thus we m light mention hun
dreds of instances, if it were necessary,
all of which were outrageously Disgrace
ful to those ruling heads, and II disgrace
to their citizens and subjects.
But, we need not 60 back to antiquity
and the dark ages to behold gross crimes
perpetrated in high places, for we have
them going on at home, within our
United States Senate, and its corrupt
tools. Old Simon Cameron was the
first contemplate lackey and fully de-
veloped hypocrite of this august body.
Pretending to be loyal Ia universal
claim with them, this knave being
Secretary Of War, refused the five thou
sand timely troops ordered to the sup
port of Colonel Mulligan, SO that the
Notifications of Lexington could be
completed before the arrival of the reb-
el Generals Price and McCulloch that
odium and the cry of ''incompetency,"
should be raised against the "Wooly
Horse"-of whom they were politically
jealous-not caring one cent for the un-
necessary loss of life to the nations de-
tenders and about the same for the de-
struction ofproperty belonging to Union
men, which must and did follow. But
the "Path-fnder" was not to be put un-
der. He therefore concentrated his ar
my, chased the rebels from Northern
Missouri, crossed the Usage, which they
(Simon and his instigators) predicte d
he could not do-drove the enemy from
Spring field, and bid fair to rid the State
of the vandals; when the treacherous
Cameron ordered the General to be SUI
perseded and the army Withdrawn, to
prevent popular rise in the "Wooly
Horse;" Notwithstanding the destruc-
ton of property which followed to the
Union men, as set forth by an old SOL
dier of 1872, in writing to the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. The Pharisaical Senate,
who seemed ready to "rob widows
houses" paid their contemplate hire
ling by sending him as Minister to
Russia, but meanly withheld similar
confirmation from General Slocum
of the Gettysburg heroes.
OF second debased fellow in the
hands of the detestable Senate, Ed.
Stanton is prominent example. The
first word allotted to this willing tool,
| that we now recOllect of, was the pro-
clamation that "Fremont was outgen-
eraled at Cross Keys" This declara-
tion was of tro:fod design. First, they
hated the "Wooly Horse" for liberating
slaves in Missouri, Notwithstanding
their masters were officers of high rank
in the Confederate Army and secoRd-
II, by calling a General from the West
to take command of the army of Vir-
ginia, that army would remain inoper-
ative for several weeks. General Me-
Clellan could not have tine direct or in
direct support of McDowell-which he
so much requested. Lee could and
would concentrate quickly, repulse the
Union General, Richmond would not
be tax en-, the rebellion would not vir-
tually be at an end by the operations
Of Little Mack" and of course, these
deceitful traitors-as they turned out
were willing to sacrifice thousands OF
soldiers on the right and left banks OF
the Chickahominy, that the army OF
the Potomac could be repulsed, which
would give pretext for the appoint
ment of a General to the command OF
that army, who would at least do part
of their disloyal bidding; and tdst
though not least, the Union General
would be rendered unpopular, and in
all probability, could never purge that
Senate from its unworthy occupants
and thus there would be left a President
and Cabinet of their own choosing.
