These queries. We believe, cover all the
material points in the case Of Rhode leland Law
and Order against Virginia Sham Democracy
We dare the Union to n full and frank discussion
Heartily desiring and urging the complete restor-
alton OF Dor to citizenship as We advocated his
liberation from confinement, we yet feel that the
course into which he was deluded by certain dema
gogues at Washington, stimulated by large
number in this City, was alike uniustihsble aud
Injurious to the cause he prriessed 20 have A.
heart. And whenever any people Of Europe
shall meet large concessions 10y those IN whom
political power is vested with insult, hostility aud
defiance 10 the Held of carnage-shali absolutely
reject and vote down those concessions, throwing
those who rejected them back upon re.iuqulshed
