tgl DRowS's REPLY.
Judge Brown in closing tho debate
said that he and Mr.. Riley had been
charged with lying, but the papers
produced by Hqssler had proved The
truth Of their charges. Hasslpr was
a Radical, as shown himself by tho
records. That memorial showedthat
he had himself claimed to be the first
man in the whole North who under
tuok ~ organize tie first company To
invade the sacred suil Of the South.
He was The Yankee that had conceiv.
ed the idea of arming the hordes&
| New York against Virginia, lnDs
cenlbcr 1869 he helped organize that
company. When Buchanan and his
administration had decided that
there was no power in the Federal
government to cocrce the South, and
the cloud was arising that was 10
overshadow our peaceful homes this
man was the first who rushed toarms
and demanded blood. He helped to
| incite the lap l1ss rabblcpf the East
ern cities to invade these people WIN
seeded because Of this threatened
Invasion. aH o.
During the weary months Of gloom
and dou6t between the secession Of
| South Carolina AID the Withdrawal
ofNirginia, he was raising II Yankee
regiment Of bullies and thieves tom.
wade our milk housesand meat luuses.
Was he u Democrat? What is DEM
ocracy but State Sovereignty, DIS hp
was the first tn raiso his nefariOts
arm to strike that doctrine down.
There is not aDcmocrat in this house
but must abominata and execrate this
miserable Yankee soldier, who is now
asking your votes. lsthis the kind
of a man for yoa to cheer and APP
plaud. ] am addressing myself to
Confederate soldiers. / stayed, with
the State Of Old Virginia until q reg.
iment encampcd in my door yard and
was arrested. We said we would
never go into the war unless thu
Yankees invaded US, and bit for the
howl for blood from New York and
Boston a compromise might have
been effected and the war averted.-
And Hassler had assisted to gather
the scum and vice and filth Of New
York to invade the sacred soil of VII.
ginia. He was finally mustered out
with a,ycar's pay ahead. Did you
Confederate soldiers get q years pay
| ahead2 This is the record he brings
before you to-day. would not have
the blackness nrdarkness Of such q
record for all the offices in the world.
If Confederate Democrats can vote for
