ssi " TORYIsM.
The people Of this Government have been
engaged in three principal wars-tho war
for Independence, the war Of 1912 to vindi-
cato the rights Of American citizenship, and
tho present war for the preservation Of our
stee institutions from the destruction threat
sped them by ambitious demagouges, who,
vathsr than submit TO the righteous judg-
msut Of the people in their last contest, that
drove them from the positions they had 50
thoroughly disgraced, would, as they have
done at Charleston, Montgomery, and
Richmond, inaugurato treason against the
Government, and civil war against its Con-
ssitutional authorities
In each Of these wars the country had to
contend with an enemy more dangerous than
tho one engaged in acts of open war against
Il. The tories of the Revolution and the
var of 1912 gave to the Government more
trouble, by destroying confidence, Grip
Ming It's operations, and divulging its plans,
than Il suffered from the whole power OF the
English Government. And in the present
contest, when it is so desirable that there
,hould be united front, in order to give a
moral force TO tho operations Of the Gov
srnment against the rebels, that would at
once convince them Of the folly Of their ef-
forts to destroy or overthrow it, we have
those in our midst SO lost to every sense oil
patriotism, 10 sunk in partisan bigotry, SC
reckless of thor obligations to their Gov
srnuent, 90 Indifferent to the welfare OF that
Governments, and the peace and prosperity
ef their nsighbors, as to be constantly en-
ployed. In their houses, on the streets, ano
through the public press, in efforts to in
6ame the partisan feelings Of tho people,
70 misrepresent the actions Of the Govern
ueut, to sxtsnuate and cover up the crimi
nal actions Of the Rebels, and thereby diyid
ths lloyd snd patriotic, aud give aid AM
oonroRr" to the enemies Of the Republic

matter a. to the position Of some mon win
