XXVI.

Mr. Wilkinson, of Minnesota, having submitted to the Senate unmistakable evidence of disloyalty to the United States, on the part of Senator bright, of Indiana, he introduced a resolution for his expulsion. It passed a very thorough discussion, in which Mr. Sumner took a prominent part, in two speeches, January 21st and February 4th, which resulted in the expulsion of Mr. Bright, and on the 24th of January the President approved the Resolution. This wound up the public career of that traitor, who, without the courage of his Confederate associates, added the meanness of a skulking hypocrisy to the infamy of his treason.
