I look to you alone, pushin aside recreant
leaders, to preserve to your unfortunate
country anything OF constitutional liberty
out Of the anarchy into which the Lincoln
Government has thrown your Constitution,
laws and trade. Toe men you most honSred
and trusted had not, with u few memorable
exceptions, the virtue and intelligence to re.

but for the most part gave way; and very
many strove TO out. .Herod the most fanatical
Wide-Awakes in their outrages on the OoDs Dsti-
tuition and the rights OF the people. They
hoped by 6uch shallow trickery to bs able to
lead the unlicensed war party of the North.
The capitalists and self-styled conser va
tives OF your great Atlantic cities have be.
trayed the confidence your generosity reposed
in IL cir direction Of your interests in the late
Presidential canvass. These mere money
making machines never had any sympathy
with or apprecia ti0n, OF republican l. .Derty,
and it is not surprising that thr reuiced at the

come absolutely the bond slave Of capital
1--WE will make the South acknowledge that
we have government over her, and power
to enforce our edicts,' was the concerted,
suppressiye cry OF these men from the outset,
to drown your honest voice OF indignation.
And while the only practical effect of this
Wall street War.whOOp has been to make
yourselves feel the iron heel of the worst of
military despo tisms, the po ower of your Union
is neither felt nor respec Ted beyond the mil.
itary lines Of the rail.splitting Generals.
In this the Northern Republican mana
gers have proved the weakest aud most su-
percilious agents that ever before directed
State affairs. There is not another govern.
ment or people on the earth that would not
have listened to such q protest as came up
from the South, by State action and by their
Senators and Representatives In Congress.
The madmen wanted to exhibit to the
world strong unbending, uncompromlsing
Government, capable Of asserting and main
tanning its power everywhere in these States,
as If they would excel in thjs particular as
and e Rdsss b1
mere waving of flag, as the bull by the
bandera Of the matador, you swell the
crafty contractors armies, unthinking that
you are the victims Of system that is sap
ping your political rights. You have but to
open your eyes to see that this is war of
capital against labor. Reckon the high rate
OF interest and the downward prices of every
thing that labor produces, and you will soon
comprehend that you are in danger of be-
coming the powerless Simpsons Of the money
shaving Delilahs.
Contrast your present condition with what
it would have been had the Republican
managers listened to the warning voice of the
South. AS splendid as was the year 1860, '6l
would have rivalled it, and 81 with its three
Or four hundred millions of cotton, tobacco
sugar, rice, and naval stores, would have
made you the richest and most independ dent
nation known TO commerce aud to day the
balance-sheet of the money changers Of the
world would be kept in New York
In the entire South you see scarcely any
manufactures, except from Northern work
shops. European wares are almost unknown
because OF the Federal prohibitory tariffs
Wait but nations hour; the blockade opens,
and these things are all reversed. Our less
shackled trade with Europe will at once
swell our exports to five hundred millions OF
dollars, and our warehouses will become the
depots ofluxuries and subStan ial product ions
of the world, at prices within the reach OF
moderate but well paid labor. You will
thus be able to furnish yourselves by the
Father Of Waters with the world choicest
productions at twenty five per cent. less than
the Yankees now charge you under the Nor

You have immense supplies Of breadstuffs
meat, and provisions, at present of little
