just and generous support. After the
contest was over, we implored the victors
TO mako some efforts, IN spirit of mag
nanimity, to avert the coming storm, and
at least to submit to our people some
plan Of compromise, that their voices
might be heard before they were made to
suffer the evils of civil war, and desolation
aud death carried into their homes. Our
prayers were unheeded, and those who
held power in their hands decided upon a
different policy. 1t was their constitu-
tional right to decide, and it was our
constitutional duty to obey. With sor-
rOwful hearts We submitted to that de-
cison, amid the humiliations of defeat;
and under all the notifications of un-
needed entreaties and derided counscls,
we still stand firm and loyal in the sup
port of our government, and as a great
patriotic organization we mean even in
defeat to serve our country by an exhibi-
tion Of obedience to constituted authori-
ties: and we have but one further request
to make of our political opponents,-to
be as obedient as we shall be to the ad-
minis.ration they have placed in power
against our Efforts and our convictions in
regard to the public interests. And we
shall ask no price for this obedience. We
shall not attempt to dictate policy to
orr Government, by threatening q with.
drawal Of our support if our peculiar
views of policy are not pursued. We
shall demand no invasions of the consti-
tuition to crafty our passions. We shall
countenance no ambitious General, who
is willing to embarrass the supreme au-
thority to gain the applause of faction.
We shall tolerate no attempts to make
the calamities of our country the occasion
Of ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS men to
gain power and place. We shall not con
sent that this war shall be made the be-
ginning of Presidential contest and if
the. people of the North are to be divided
in the support of this administration by
line of policy which shall make discOrd
and confusion in the public MIND, we shall
not be the authors of the disgrace and the
calamities which must inevitably follow.
The President of these United States can
rely upon our support, for we have due
sense of loyalty and obedience. We
need not weaken his policy, he will not
be embarrassed by us, so long as he keeps
himself within the limits of his constitu-
tional rights. Will the Republican party
do as much as this? Would not Mr.. Lin
coin himself be compelled to say, if called
upon to testify, that the embarrassments,
annoysnces and perplexities which he has
encountered, have come, not from us, but
from that discordant organization which
put him in the Presidential chair? The
spirit vf discord, contention and disloyalty
which has brought our country to the
verge of ruin, aud now threatens the very
administration which it placed in power.
But at this time our country is startled
by measures so unusual under on. gov
crnment, that guards so cautiously the
rights Of its citizens, that alarm has been
excited lest our Constitution should be
trampled under foot by the authorities at
Washington. The writ of habsas corpus
has been suspended, citizens of our own
and other States have been seized and
imprisoned without due process Of law,
