The movement of a squad of Democrats in Congress . . .

. . . to galvanize the Democratic party into life under the lead of Vallandigham and his associates, meets with no favor among prominent men of the old organization in this quarter.  Nor is it likely to receive much anywhere outside the bogus Confederacy.  The Washington correspondent of the Post states that such leading Democrats in Congress as Erastus Corning and Mr. Odell of New York, Mr. Holman of Indiana, and others, scorn to attach their names to such a document as the Address. – Cleveland Herald.
