starye and die on the roadside. This is
a slight synopsis of4he memories Of the
abolition army Of your Baboon Presi-
dent
Can YOU longer stand still while these
things are being enacted before youg A
programme of peace and settlement IL
what the people expect Of you All eyes
are resting upon you for action.
You should 1t once proclaim TO the
world that not dollar Of the bonds
Federal, State or municipal-issued by
the Federal usurpers for the prosecution of
unholy war. shall ever be paid. Few
strangers have talsenaharcs In the despoiic
loans, and this just blow will fall almost
exclusively upon the usurpers, There is
need that history should be marked by
the utter humiliation Of the debt created
by the conspirat0rs against The rights
and liberties Of American citizens and
States. The licentious dollar should
now receive such retributiye lesson, that
a bar shall be raised far all the time
against its being had on this continent
for the usurpation of the rights and lib
critics of sovereign citizens and States.
Not only do you owe it TO yourselves
TO repudiate every dollar of this uncon-
stitutional debt, but you owe il equally
to your posterity to pay the hall, If not
all the debt that the people Of the South
have had TO incur TO maintain the rights
of citizens and of States, in the estab-
| lishment of free trade.
Do these things generously, heroically
and New York city, as il by magic, will
resume the enviable position she held be-
fore the black sixth of November 1850.
Her magnificent streets will continue
their march upon Manhattan Island, and
her Central Park will progress in multi
piled mazos Of beauty, in statuary, and
fountain and foliage. True, your polit-
ical relations with the South will proba
blv never BE- restored, and it is now use
less TO discuss. But you will neverthe-
less gain much by the revolution. You
will be rid Of iniidel puritan rule which
has been nearly az oppressive and intol-
cradle in New York as in the South. You
will have free navigation and free trade
with the South and Greer trade than
ever with the world.
Let heart and brain into the revolution;
accelcia ate aud direct the movement; get
rid Of the Baboon, Cor what is it) Abra
ham Lincoln, practically il you can, but
by the blood of his followers If necessa-
~. Withdraw your support material
and moral, from the invading armies, and
the South viii make quick work with the
Abolitionists that remain on her soil
Suffer no degenerate son of the South,
upon however plausible pretext, 70 idly
cmbarrass your action, by throwing into
your way rotten planks of reconstruct ion.
Unity is no longer possible. The very
word Union, once so dear, has been made
q cover for SO many atrocious acts, that
the mere meation OF it is OdiOus in the
ears ofsouthern people. The State Legisla-
lures will be called upon TO obliterate the
hated name from counties aud towns.
The ocean bound Republic was the
dream of my life, the end of my labors,
the principal object of my aspirations
for my country. That political monster,
the fatal election Of 1860, abruptly and
forever dissipated the illusion.
Commercial relations are attainable,
aud every hour of alienation from the
South is your loss. The recent elections
show that New York city is the centre
of a circle of one hundred miles radiat-
| ing with a compact, active organized
majority Of two hundred thousand
against your aboliiionized Government.
Il has but 20 will, to do. Halfway
measures, always unsuitable TO reyolu-
tionary necessities, will not avail you.
Immediate wholesale Reputation is your
, only safety valve.
Against the Abolition invasion, the
whole nation of the Southern Confedera-
cy is now resolved into an army, the
most numerous, intelligent and spirited
J the world ever saw--in good health and
high discipline, ready to fall upon the
enemy with that momentum which be
longs only 10 the patient soldier, fred
with Indignation against the ihsolent in-
vader, While the Abolition Generals
have been successfully withdrawn in
, disgrace from the field, our Generals and
subordinate officers, brave and efficient
from the first have steadily increased in
! character and number. Never has an
army been differed by such a body OF
accomplished, high-tOned and gallant
! men, as the Confederate Army boasts to-
day. And while her Generals give the
erandest proofs Of their skill and sci
, ence In the management of the war in
( the whole country shows itself, through
! the cheerful sacrifices aud noble aid OF
its women, and the daring strategy of lis
partisan chiefs and their intrepid follow
: ers, alive at lis every extremity.

none stand so high in public estimation
