The Mob 1t Ozaukee, Wis,

The Ryan address begins to bear fruit Tbs

violence perpet1ated upon peaceful and law
private property, are the logical consequences
OF the doctrines and promises OF Democratic
politicians prior to the election.
1heee politicians, aided by the Milwaukee
fsns ana S<e Bot, have taught this poor, de-
luded aud ignorant class Of men, that the
Iitionists Of the North; that the South, II
somewhat irregular in their mods Of seeking
redreeB, are substantially fighting for their
constitutional righ:s; that the administration
In conducting the war Is guilty of wantonty
and wickedly usurping power and trampling

to free the negroes and confer upon them
social equality with tie whites.
Under the inspiration OF such teachings, It
IL not strange that the men who have received
them 81 true should shrink from the priga-
tons and dangers Of the military service.
Under ordinary circumstances, they may be
honest, wel1-meaning, and patriotic citizens
at heart. But thus 1nisled md deceived in re.

By this mode OF treatment, great barrier,
