TRAITOR OF TRAITORS.
FRIENDS or THE CLUB: should like 70 express
my opinion the ovation recently given 10 Jeier-
son Davis. lido not know what Others may think OF
him, but say lac il a traitor of the lowest kind
For who but a base traitor would so eNeri hls
energies TO destroy such a grand and glorious
country as ours? BE, who led the rebellion which
caused so much bloodshed, and wrongly desolation
in thousands of once happy honest SSould j. the
daughter of volunteer, Endorse such honors
bestowed up him, against whom, in defense oil our
country, my father eventually lost hls llieg VINO;
with the least spark Of patriotism or loyalty, would
say that il il just 20 bestow such honor upon the
" arch traitor jefferson Davis, and TO class him
among heroes such as Washington. the father OF
the country which lac, Davis, did all IA his power
10 destroy Georgia A. Holly, $40 Chestnut street.
