Compare her condition to day with what it

Of all the blessings known 10 free government.
Her condition could not be bettcred. Why
then was secession necessary
WHERE nv STANDS.
Ny doctrines are those of Washington,
al I'D l.,.ha,,,'. E,ln,n,i.
Donnell's; doctrines on which the government
was founded.
SECESSION MUST Re PUT DOW.
Secession is treason. II must be put down,
otherwise the Republic is gone, and we are in
volved in an eterna, war. The government must
be maintained We are one people, one We will
remain, one We will die.
Secession is eternal war. IT it succeeds re,
publican liberties are lost forever
WHAT 20 THE REBELS SAY?
What do the rebels say? What did they
tell youg First they said secession would be
puaceable that the Norlherners would not fight,
that foreign powers would recognize the South.
ern Conte!eracy," that the democrats in the
North would assist the South in securing her
Independence. Have any of these predictions
been realized? After Secession took place you
were told that the Northern troops were com.
ing South to free all your slaves, confscate all
your property. devastats the lana, slaughter
your women and children, outrage your daugh.

is more, the government holds itself in readi-
ness to remunerats all loyal citizens for all the
losses they have sustained. Could there be
ANYTHING more far2 Win the Confederacy do
this. What is their money worth bushel !?
Not cent.
KINDNESS OF TIE GOVERNMENT.
See how kindly the government has treated
her prisoners, how humane on her part, she
has conducted this war. How enient and for
giving. -.
Look at the other side, see what barbarities
have been perpetratcd They are too shock
iug and inhuman to refer tso. See how the
rebels have treated the Federal prisoners, IN
return for all the kindness received.
The enemies sick and wounded have received
The same kind treatment in the Federal hospl
ais as The Union troops, A'l 'he people ''lS,uI y,

this look like robbing you?
EMANCIPATION.
You say your slaves are all TO be emancpated
What course has the Federal Government pur
sued thus far IN regard 10 your slaves Nhe'
Fremont. Hunter and Phelps issued their pro
CARNATIONS of emancipation, did not the Presi
dent revoke them all? Has he not said ovcl
and over again. that he had no constitutional
riuht to emancpate the slaves. Has he no
adhered strictly to the Constitution and law,
If the country? Does he not insist that all th'
S ,tes shall be protected in all their rights
What more can b. ask d from him, who is thu
President of all the Statesy Why then ar
