ever objects he behol,ls talSc-ou the color

soever direction he may, behind, before
gro, negro, and nothing bit Negro. As
an expression of the Democracy Of
the State, We also proudly refer to the
resolutions Of our recent State Conven-
tion, and 10 the able and eloquent speech
t Of Judge Littlejohn, and are willing to
be judged by that standard. We submit
: il they furnish one particle Of evidence
! in support of the charge which he makes?
On the contrary, do they not breathe the
J lpurest patriotism and the most sterling
loyalty? Do they not come cordially
; and manfully up "to the support of the
, government in putting down the re-
| belkon% Do they express any sympathy
: with rebels, anil love Of slavery" Let
+ us see. Listea to Mr.. Littlcjohn. Speak
ing Of the President, and the duty Of
, aiding him at, restore the government,
to uphold tie constitution, to defend the
! Union, and t,maihtain the supremacy Of
the laws" he says" this must be done
at any cost and all needed sacrifice of
, blood AMI treasure. The issue til rust
! upoa us by this foul rebellion must be
pressed to the bitter end. All our mate
d rial and moral energies must be gathered
, up and hurled with crushing force upon
; this pestilent domestic foe" Queer

3 gular Glove of slavery" The rebellion
It the rebellion is the object of this war
and tho Legitimate and imperative duty
Of the government is, to suppress and
crush it out. Slavery is entirely another
IT thing, and not directly involved in the
i case in any way whatever, Slavery is
/ simply local institution of the country
: where the rebellion happened to have
. occurred. The property rights, whether
u in slaves or houses and lands, Of any par
: ticular person on persons judicially tried
. and proved guilty of treason, are one thing,
and slavery, as an institution of the
:, State, rs State right under the consti-
:" tuition, is another and very different
III thing. Suppose Michigan declare herself
:" out Of the Union, and she take up arms
q in rebellion against the general govern
- ment. What is the duty of the govern
g ment? Certainly not to demolsh our
- lumber and salt manufactures, mills and
2 stores, and declare them annihilated, or
n "emancipated,'i if you please, from the
~ land, and that we shall no longer pursue
70 those avocations, and vindctively subju-
y gate aud degrade us to the status of ter.
20 ritory? Mol no! no such thing as tbatl
. What then? Simply put down the re-
T. bellion and crush oat treason, protect all
: loyal citizens, aud preserve all their
~ rights unimpaired, as citizens Of State,
., precisely as they were before the re-
III bellion, and leave them just where the
IN constitution places them; grant an am.
ir nesty to the deluded s,ldiery on subscrib
