There are two men in Congress . . .

. . . who deserve the halter as richly as any two malefactors that ever disgraced a gallows. We mean, Senator Powell, of Ky., and Representative Vallandigham of Ohio. They are both traitors at heart, and so far as they dare, they manifest their treason to the disgrace of the Congress and country. – Buffalo Express.

Those are the putative fathers of the new Democratic party. They resurrected it last month and the Democrat of this city has already given in its allegiance.
