the devil in, bnt | sm determined
they shall feel the power of the Gov.
ernment which they have sought To
destroy. !.
How have matters gone on here
toforep Why, when the Unicn or
my came here the first to run to il
for protection and privileges were
secessionists, who got promises OF
protection II they would remain
neutral. On the other hand, the
poor Union ,nen were terrified with
threats Of vengeuco IL the rebel army
shonld return. The soceeslonist wa
protected by the Union army, and
was equally confident of protection
should the rebel army return; 30 be
felt perfectly eesy. The Union man
dreaded ntter roin ehould q reverse
occur, ard wac filed with perpetual
alarm. So, under the strange poll.
cy, the rebel had taco guarantees,
and the Dnion man but one. 1t IL
time this was stopped. The time
',ae arrived, when treason must b.
made odious and traitors impover-
ished. These men have used thtif
property to destroy the government.
and fiji the land with bankruptcy
and distress; they have given their
wealth freely to mid rebellion and
treason, ard dycnch the land in fra.
terna! blood, and crush ont the last
vestigo ofliberty. and their proper J
shonld be taken from them to defray
the expenses Of The war. They arc
the guilty once. They are tho rea
criminals. The poor have been dc
ludcd and dragged into this war
while the authors and instigator,
who have kept up the war by tboil
money and contributions, have skulk
ed at home and demanded the pro-
lection OF the Federal Government.
A nd what was the motive Of many
of those men in Nashville for bring
ing on and aiding the rebellion?
Why many of these elegant gen
tlemen rehelled to get rid OF paying
their Northern debts. Ii a misera.
BILE, crippled negro, worth five hun
dred dollars, was stolen, the Govern
ment must be overthrown il the nc.
gro could not be recovered, but your
polite, fastidious and chivalrone
merchant can 20 among what be
calls "blue beilied Yankees" buy
their goods on credit, and then,
when pay day comes, tell his cred
itors in the North: "Oh, ! have &c.
ceded!"
1t is an outrageous crime to steal
q negro, bnt it is gentemanly finan
ciering to defraud Northern cred,
itor Of $4,000 or 100000. Hun
dreds Of Instsnccs could be related
showing how far the rebellion was
impelled and advanced by this
swindling spirit. Yet these very
inen who have disgraced themselves
by these frauds, would talk gravely
about tho sin Of slave stesllng,-
Now take the value OF all the ne
gro,s that have been stolen from the
South and then take the sum of the
Northern debts that have been repu
dated by Southern men, and the
latter will surpass the former at leas
sen to one. Who owns many Vi
our PUBLIC buildings, railroad STOCKS
Northern men. Yet you who clam.
or about your Southern rights can
coolly defraud your Northern friends
Of millions Of dollars.
The conduct of many OF the rebel
women, he remsrked, was estonish
ing. How dare you breathe treason
and insult the flag OF your country?
Hold mp your hands in the light OF
heavon-gsze steaifasily on them =.
and see il they are not red with
blood! Yes, the blood of your own
husbands, brothers and sons, whom
your wretched iniatuation drove to
treason and rebels grave. Men
who would have gladly staid at
home, who felt no sympathy for the
wicked cause, and who, but for your
wicked councils might tonight be
with us in the enjoyment OF life and
health have been sent by your per
nicious Influence to an untimely and
lgnomiuious grave. And yet, these
women on the streets, flsunt their
'resses as thous0they were terrific
comets and the world wac to be
dashed out of existence by a sweep
Of their trainf! For true woman
he ever cherished Oh exalted rever
encc and admiration, but for those
who nnsexed Themselves by a dis
play OF treason and illbreedins, he
had none. This rebellion must be
put down, treason be made odious.
and traitors impoverished and pun !
shtd. The strong arm OF the Gov.
must fall heavily and ter
'lbly on the heads of the men who
haye brought this war on tho coun
ry.
