halls Of COngres-rom the midst Of all bis subordinate
leaders, and most ofa that be sA from the presence
and the oOunses Of Colonel Fremont whom he was the
most intimate friend OF all his political associates Such
has been the history Of these black leaders and such the
manner in which have heretofore traced this startling
discovery Of their eentous designs against the liberties
Of the people and the safety Of the constitution.
Having traced this conspiracy Of Banks and Fremont
this point to drive home the last ryet in
this chain Of evidence which think makes it complete
and unquesonable We have noucedi before There
was much besides that startling that We were ar
rested by the very audacty of it and it struck us so
pointedly that it would be well and fully understood
by the people, that did not feel it necessary to pile up
the cumulative proof of their dark and daring designs
But the price Of liberty is eternal vigilance and have
carefully but rapidly gone the ground again for the
express purpose part of presenting this last testimony
In its true and most iorcibe relations.
Mr. Banks when he said that Dictatorship would come
preuded it by most remarkable and significant
ment. His words follows
"But have to say what knoU TO Be trus-hat in no
svsH of human history will the Union of these States be
dissolved Then he added that he could conceive of
time when this constitution sta be in existence
eminent and when "no party that has possession of the
Union will allow The minority 10 break The bands !" that they
would subject" them that the government would either
be "that of monarchy that of absolute despotis
and that in either event ahe love of the Union will be
deep in the hearts of the rulers and the ruled Such
his precise language The key to the discovery of the
whole truth of the plot is to be found in the words
with which he preceded the uterance Of those arocous
sentiments. They
" But have to say what kaow to be true"
The question springs up How could he know it How
did he know t1 There are but ways by which
to be known whether of the past for the future. In
the first case they may be known because they have
tuay TRANSFERRED In the second they can only be known
for the future by those who have the power to enact Them
and who ko they have the will and the purpose to do
He stated in advance of this that Lieutenant Colonel
Fremont would be elected President To do such
things as he proclaimed, the President alone would
have the official position to attempt To knoU that they
would take place therefore knoao the iH Of thai
man. He could only learn this from himself and to
speak, therefore, was to speak with his authority. That
future of which he spoke he could not kHOV by any posi-
bty beyond that actual state Of relations between him
self and him who was to be the bold and ambitious
Speaker and the future military dictator stand out in full
relief fairly aragned and convicted before the bar of the
American public Their vanity and exutant hopes have
betrayed them They have disclosed their Infamous pur-
poses too early The discovery win the vigilance
and Indignation of the American people and they turn
and rend them in pieces. To their final Judgment we
deliver them, in the confidence that the constitution
will be rescued the liberties Of the people protected and
the equal rights of the States indicated. To do this
countymen must rise up to mighty effort or swift
destruction will overtake them. Our friends Of the South
