Government, together with their slaves, the
resessity and justice Of such a measure is
uOw conceded by all whose judgments are
not warped or ovorriiden by their prejudices;

only BY the barbariiies Of the sepOys-the
HaOst ardent contestant for Southern rights"
ssnnot pronounce such a measure Otherthan
4 deserted and just retribution.
