war. We are willing to sustain the govern
ment; we do sustain the government. A man
stands by the government who pays taxes,
obeys the laws and stands draft. This war was
forced upon the country by the Administra-
ton and the aboltionists of the North. We
believe the war unnecessary, unjust; we be-
lieve that the time has been, repeatedly, when
the war might have been closed with credit;
but we support the government. There is a
point beyond which forbearance ceases to be a
virtue. If these men dare to carry out their
threats, they'll find spirit here in the North
more fearful than Southern hordes There are
men here who will vndicate the laws for them
selves, and if the administration does not cease
its unconstitutional acts, there will be fearful
retribution.
Such speech will undoubtedly be music in
the ears of the traitor, JEFF Davis, and his
rebel hosts at the South.
Having finished its business the Convention
adjourned.
