The quarrel between the President and
Congress was forced upon us by Mr.
johnson, who did not from the time he
assumed the duties of the Office which
devolved upon him, intend to agree with
US. Congress did not enact asingle meas.
ure that was not at some future time laid
out by him. Then why, you will ask,
did he not cooperate. Pll tell you why.
He formed an alliance with men whom
he thought to corrupt, in order that he
might again be put in office. This act
was tried years ago by Tyler, but it was
not then near as criminal as it is at this
time. What shall we say of a man cleo
ted by the Union party who endeayors to
form an alliance with men who threw
every impediment possible in our way,
to prevent US from crushing the great
rebellion? Look at Vallandigham, PEN
dleton q Co. These are the men l refer
to. l shall meyer forget that when we
were in the midst of the most gigantic
war ever known upon the face of the
globe, those treacherous men whom |
have mentioned, acting with delibera-
tion and determination, refused to vote
man or dollar to the support of the
Government. They said that our armies
should not be paid. Mr.. Pendleton land
l say it of my own knowlege) never vo-
ted a man nor a dollar for the suppress
sion of the rebellion, and in the halls of
Congress spoke against time, in order
that such appropriation bills which were
before the House might be defeated. He
was no better, and of no more use to the
people of the North, than if he had been
on the other side of the line. hope the
soldiers in this audience will remember
this. 1t was he, soldiers, who endeavored
to restrain you from receiving your money
and food, and still he comes before you
now, and asks your suffrage. Will you
vote for him? Cries of mo-" neVer."l

The speaker then went on at considera-
BILE length to review the course of Mr..
johnson for the past several years, and
the bitterness of the Democratic press
toward him during the war, and showed
that as soon as Mr.. johnson went over
to the traitors the whole Democratic press
sustained him.


There is no escape from the issue. 1t
is laid plainly before you. You are either
to return the good, honest Union men
who have done so much for you, or send
IN their places men who pronounce the |
war and its object gigantic failure. Will |
you give your votes to a man who, du-
ring the whole of the rebellion, was &C
tive in raising men and money, or will
you give them to man who never voted
q man nor dollar?
