Terrible Considerations IN the Rebel
Camp:

Never since the days Of Catalina have
hatred and full defiance, scorn and
scorching satire, been Hung in the face
OF an astonished anu covering multitude
| of conspirators. viii, such force and
effect, AZ eI- Congressman Kendall poured
forth his pent-up sitrioi upon the Con
federates who assembled at Virgins City
on Thursday night. He had been ac-
tualiy kicked out Of the State Conven-
ton and iSnorsd-his vote upon the
Salary Bill being the prete1t for so treat
ing him-and yet the chivalry thought
to use him a. catspaw to help them on
to victory-a victory whose achievement
(if that were possible would be direct
and palpable ignoring of the Northern
wing OF the psrty-the war Democrats.
Of whom Kendall has always proclaimed
himself to be one. But the Unterri6ed
reckoned without their host. They
walked up the wrong passenger. Ken
DALI proves himself to be q man of too
much spirit to be made the scape-goat
of party whose strongest. most con-
s;stent and influential member he has
been. Not only has he given an en-
phatic refusal to play second fiddle to
the Rebel Democracy and their candi-
dates, but he has exposed them and their
game. and denounced the sham and
humbugssry OF their platform. We find
full report Of this very remarkable and
effective speech in yesterday 8 Enterprise.
We wish We had the space and the typo
graphical force to reproduce it. Really.

The seventh plank in the Democratic

searching criticism and found to be
meaningless and hollow. Here it is:
