feited life and property are invited, aye,
persuaded TO come home and be again
good citizens. Those denounced as " to-
ries and white livered scoundrels" are
thus lenient to their foes. Those who
were to be hung are thus merciful to the
hangsmen.
But here is another extract from an
editorial Of the Patriot Of August 9Th,
1861:
We accept the arrest of Mr.. Nelson as
an indication that henceforth there is to
be no Cancellation and concession in our
policy towards treason and traitors.
Forbearance has been practiced until it
ceased to be virtue; traitors availed
themselves of it to carry out their in
trigues the more effectively, and to in
crease the perils which hang over the
true men Of the State. Hereafter the
authority of the Confederate States must
be respected, and the laws obeyed. Men
in Tennessee who still cling TO the Union
and sigh for the reinstatement of its au-
thority, must expect either to change
their views or their place of residence.
Enemies cannot be tolerated in our midst,
whilst we are engaged in deadly strife
with the North with its excess of men
and superiority of arms and other mate
rails of war. We must have thorough
unanimity at whatever cost. Whether
this result shall be attained only at the
price of civil war; rests almost exclu-
slvely with those whose sympathies with
the Lincoln usurpation have placed them
in opposition TO the verdict of the State
in favor of Southern Independence. If
they submit, all will be right. If they
prefer to force the issue of bloody ar
bitrament, upon them be the response
bility."
" Henceforth there is to be no concili-
alton and concession in our policy to-
ward treason and traitors-forbearan
has ceased to be virtue. Hereafter the
authority of the Confederate States must
be respected and the laws obeyed."
~ohange your views or change your resi-
denee" How would secessionists like
such language coming from the authorities
of the United States
The next and only extract from the Pa
trtot which shall present you to-day is
from the leader of January 10, 1862,
and is in these words;
The truth is there are a few tories in
the South-white livered scoundrels.
who are incapable of patriotic emo
ton and too craven to express their opin-
ions-withOut moral or physical force,
sneaking about in society, and perhaps
wishing the Northern despotism TO ex-
tend itself and desolatiOn over us. But
these very few and poor-spirited crea-
lures are devoid of both influence and
courage TO do us harm or our enemies
good Some of them might, upon Oppor-
tunity, stick torch TO our stores at
midnight, but they are generally afraid
to do even that well-knowing that their
chances of escape from merited punish
ment would be extremely slight. In
leaning upon this resource the enemy is
leaning upon broken stick, and if his
main hopes of standing up against serried
hosts of the South have no other foun-
dation but this, he had better at once
and forever give up the contest Wheth-
er he will believe us or not, he is hereby
informed that the people of the Confed-
crate States are united--united in the
support and maintenance of a govern
ment which they have made for them
selves, which secures TO them liberty
and security, and to which they are de-
votedly and unwaveringly attached
This is the case even in the few locali-
ties where a few months ago the Union
mania was triumphant; and now these
localities, as an atonement for their past
error, are turning out volunteers with
the utmost alacrity to Join the victorious
armies of the South, in the glorious
struggle for liberty and independence.
So much for the pretended Unionism
in the South.
Mr.. Editor, Treason against such a
Government as ours, is a crime Of the
darkest dye--it is a cruel outrage, il is
atrocious, il is wickedness the most ex-
treme. And for not being thus cruel
atrocious, and wicked, Union men We're
thus abused, and themselves and their
families set at nought or treated with
contempt. And among all Secessionistsr
there were none to say, hold, enough.
1t is God-like 10 pity and forgive
such deluded people. Not, however
until they repent X.
