Political Treason and Opposing Views in Senate Speech
A Senate speech from February 15, 1866, by Oregon Senator William argues political treason is as dangerous as legal treason. He likens treason to Proteus and the arch deceiver and condemns recent Northern and Southern actors who claimed loyalty while opposing the government. The speaker recalls reactions to Lincoln’s assassination and contrasts past labels of Union soldiers with present praise for them, urging recognition of the persistent treasonous rhetoric aimed at destabilizing government.
