We call next upon you, rich nsen-ye

if ye will but forego your Injuries, and fol.

OF "uofortunately, just out Of funds" d.
though they be sich men, and can com

IF not, can the South ever pay it? How!
Ohly by direct tax. She will have nc
power to resort to che custom house that
will belong to- our masters. Republication
will become necessity. The Confederate
Government promised to pay, but the Con.
federate Government will no longer exist.
Look to it we'll, then, and see what interest
