may be condemned by those whose code

regard this new measure for tie suppre%o.
Of the rebellion as right, and we are TlIIn!
to abide the results, trusting in Goo for %:
final issue. Al this trying period IN our na'

afraid to do right-one who will follow ta'
teachings OF God, and the headings Of BIZ
providence, regard less of the Glamour Of th'
Babe OF noisy politicians. From oar ''anl
point OF observation, we thank God and .sH
courage in view of this new position OF oG
government, in relation to the vile system o.
American Slavery. We hope the hands d
our President will be strengthened by 'n
sympathy and approval of Christian citizens
and their fervent prayers to God for BIZ
grace aud wisdom to attend our chief mass'
trates in the discharge of his onerous duties
