Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-11-28

hons Of government and the latcs they havs. each
has foT himself, independently Of properly, tbe
! right 0f safrags, and the property holding aRd
Htonied classes haze no more. They have thus
been, for thirty years past, potential in then gov
| ernments. Legislation, during this time, has
besn almost exclusively with themselves, and
| they have taken cafe TO control enactments for
their special benefit, however onerOus and uR-
just to property rights and interests. As far as
4 property in the hands Of others can be made by
statute to contribute to their reief it has been
| remorseessly done. In the line of taxation
every fhiRg is demanded The landlord must
show his rent rolI the merchant his bills of sale,
the broker his list Of exchanges, the lawyer hs
/ fee book the doctor his receipts, the snnuitant
his income, and the clerk his salary, SO th2t ex-
actions may be made upon all sums beyond that
o. the mark OF the day lsborer. All municipal
county, and State burdens must be borne by the
/ two millions. They the twenty millions. want good
roads snd good stteets The two millions must
pay for tbe work, and pay them f. r doing it,
! though chiefly for their use. They, the twenty
Millions went hspitsls, ssylums, mfrmsries
/ and poor houses tie two millions mast pay
them for their erection, and, afterwards, sus-
tain them 10 tie use Of the charity thus erect
/ ed and paid FOR. They, the twenty millions
want their children educated, the two millions
must furnish the buildings and sHpPly the
teachers. They, the twenty millions, are on
every hand, the government and the Legislature,
and the two millions nust support the one and
msintain the ether, and bunbly thank them
both for such expressions Under these ciTcum-
stances is it 10 be supposed that the two mil
lions will not seek and are not seeking, through
the war, to break their mana les and 10 libeTate
their property Ii would be to reason against hu-
man nature and Gl past experience to think
Otherwise. They have already turred the
tables against the twenty millions. They have
already placed the twenty millions under the
power of the sword Already is tbs freedom Of
the masses made 9 mockory. Already is des
pOtism enthronsd over the people Already do
Presidential proclamatiOns, l0itk The mandates Of
an emperor, sHpsroede laaos and constitutions.
They the twenty millions, 8re beneath the heel
Of the txo millions. 10 using the twenty mil
EOus 30 emEBcipate the negroes Of the South
and to subiugate the Southern States, the prop
er5y-holdiDg and monied-elasses of the North
have lesgued with Seward and Liacoln to en-
slave the twenty millions and to PROSTATE their
government. Should the war continue, never
sgsin viii the twenty millions be suffered 70
rise from their sbject condition--7s Ger again
shall trs behold the majesty Of the peayle Of the /
North Whsther the South be sutjugated, or
not, we shall see. in 1865, if not earlier these |
minions Of tyranny, standing, Ike whipped ours,
with bowed heads and downca't looks, 10 re |
ceive their masters, and kneelng obseq uiously |
st the feet of Caesar. This is the consolation Of |
the South-this l0H be our great TeTsHge.
William II Seward has Uct been an idle /
spectator Of the times, ner dull student Of the |
worlds history. He has cOnned over the preg-.
nant lessons Of Marins, of Julius, and Of Aa-
Rustus-of Napoleon the Great, and of Louis
Re has couche8 his ambition or
the loftiest standard. His maxim has always
been, as was theTs, cal gas calt aCeip5-ds-
eepiGtlT;" :" and he well knows the force, with
the multitude, of q national sentiment, of a
popular cry, Of 8 Marsallsise hymn, under the
7hrensy Of excitement. Having gathered up |
the rabble Of ell hues aud conBiexious at the
North, aud concentrated them under the Black
Republican banner, after the manner we have
shown in the essays shove referred to ia DsB0to's
RsUiste, it was an easy matter for him, Ia the
Inc Of bis purposes, to burl them into q fr8Ti-
sidsi wal with the Sou b, and, with sword in
hand, 10 invade the Constitution OF his country,
after having already undermined its living faith
4 the breast of his followers, hoping through
he subjugation Of the one sHd the subYeTsion
If the other, with his legions aud his psrtizans

# the war is necessary to his highTeachjng
inns. These aims we have fully set forth in
be paper On I" The Issues Of 1860" During I
he canvess of 1860, in his tour through the
Northwestern States, he himself confirmed by g
zig declarations the positions we assumed and
ully Indicated the line Of national and imperial ,
lestiny we had traced. The msgnituds Of his
