Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...lowest depths of a similar dark treason, there rises a Benedict Arnold and proposes to surrender us all up, body and spirit, the nation and the flag, its genius and its honor, now and forever, to the accursed traitors to our country. And that proposition comes--God forgive and pity my beloved State!--it comes from a citizen of the honored and loyal Commonwealth of Ohio! I implore you. brethren in this House, not to believe that many such births ever gave pangs to my mother State such as she suffered when that traitor was born.
