~ The preposterous pretenses of those
northern politicians, who sympathize with the
South in all it's atrocious acts of rebellion, can
excite no feeling but that Of derision. There
men themselves assert, and assert it as one Of
their claims to respect, that they have always
welded the reins Of Government. It is true
that for eight years preceding the rebellion
they were in possession Of all departments Of
the Administrstion-Executive, Legislative
and Judicial They made and repealed what
Statute book but what they enacted, or sane
TONED by permitting it to remain there. 1t
sas wAile they vere in poUer that the rebellion
~as inasgsrated-and under their auspices that
lveasos grev in strength and acquired all IT. a6tl-
ity to harm.
It was President and Cabinet of their
choosing that had scattered our insufficient,
army, in the wilderness, from Texas to Cali
fornia, Utah and Washington. It was their
chosen President who sent our navy to the
most distant seas, or allowed it to rot at home
It was man of their choice who deprived all
our forts and arsensls Of gsrrisons, so that
they were absolutely incapable Of Offering .
feeble resistance to even an unsrmed mob; who
removed most of the public arms from North.
ern to Southern arsensls, and disposed of most
Of such as remained, for the deliberate pur-
pose Of depriving the loyal people Of even the
slightest chance of resisting treason. 1t was
. man they put in Office, who ordered cannon
to be sent from Pittsburgh to Texas, for fort
which existed only in name, after the flag Of
the Union had been trailed in the dust by trai.

who permitted oil these things to be done, and
who could discover or devise no ssConstitution.
az means Of averting the national peril:
Soon after the infamous intent Of the South

The socalled Democratic party had majority

can save the country, that they are the only

possibility prevent dissolution Of the Union

had ssslpd 20 long, and voted and acted -
tboss ether traitors, Breckinridge, Mason. sH.
dsll, Davis and the rest chose to dictate. They
showed themselves either part and parcel Of the
great conspiracy, or tbs most imbecile fools who
ever sat In legislative haIla They did absolute
y aethi"g to save the country, and left the
incoming administration without any resources,
ananeial .or military, with which to resist, much
1s0 overcome, the treason which they knew sur.

Yet these men, who have themselves. or
1hrough their chosen agents, BY open treason or
equally criminal neglect brought the great CO.

Such sadacity ID without parallel in human
