tbe Southern masses You have done wrong;

Touched" Very good: but how are you to
reach the Southern masses and what can
they do while the leading traitors have so tight
grip on them as at present And wnat IL
they refuse to lay down their arms az they
resisted President Lincoln's entreates that they
should not take them up ] He further expresses
himself in favor Of hanging the leading traitors
which Alien seems to have concurred IN.
GBetter take them first. Finally, the meeting
passed series of moderate, plausible, but
most unfair resolves which assume the untruth
that the Republicans wish to pervert ana
misdirect the War; ard that Emancipation OF
the slaves Of Rebels viii protract the struggle
and prevent a reconstruction of the Union.
These gentlemen have a perfect right to say
that such, IN their opinion, is the tendency and
effect of Emancipation aforesaid; but they
have no right to assume that the advocates OF
the policy they condemn are not as honestly and
heartily for the Union as themselves They be-
Eeve-(for we accord to them the charity they
DENY TO us)-that to tel the Rebel slave
holders that they may fight the Union as long
and as desperately as they will, yet their
Slavery shall not be touched, aud their slaves
if any escape, shall be returned to them, is the
true way to reconcile them to the Union. We,
on the other hand, believe that the very way
to encourage them to persist IN their rebel
lion: that there would have been no rebellion
if seasonable aud authoritative notice had been
given that. if rebellion did break out the
slaves of every Rebel should be act free. We
believe Slavery the weak point of The rebel
lion: that, if attacked there, il viii be van
auished: if not, we fear. ii never will be. by
what right do these Conservative gentle
men virtually brand the majority OF their
fellow Members hare aud hypocrites'
These Conservatives virtually assume that the
Rebels would give up # they were assured
that Slavery would be LETT intact but they had
the most solemn assurances 70 this effect III

Liucolns Inaugural; get tie Union ARM a.
Texas was betrayed into the bands OF open
traitors and Fort Sumter bOmbarded in the
very face Of these ASSURANCES. What reason
have we to believe that they are more plac-
able now II any, let it be act forth We
know of mono. On the contrary. the magnity
and hate OF the Secsssonists Las since been
stimulated BY .egicns Of abomnable alsehoods,
and we have 40 hope that they viii be won
back 10 tie Uoion so long ~ they -hal Haye
hope Of ehectually resistag It's power. Defeat
NAV restore them 70 loyalty; concessions and
protestatlons never.
What use, then, in holding cut lures for the
Rebel Shareholders, when t IL certain that not
tenth OF them will ever hear of the overturcs
and those who will are stuhbornly predetermined
to repel them If tenderness toward Slavery
would win the Rebels to loyalty, there would
. be some reason il it; since we know it will not
there is none. We believe in appealing rather
a to the slaves. because they are inclined to hear
: and heed us, az we know the Rebel slave
l. holders are not. We Deg leave on this point
to cite an authority which seems to us in
