| They have hoped and still hope TO be
able TO destroy the credit Of the Federal
Government and make greenbaeks of
! little value.
They have both favored and opposed
every measure for carrying on the war.
! AT first they were opposed to the system
OF volunteering, and in favor of conscrip-
ton; and when the conscription came
they arrayed themselves in desperation
against it, and now not only oppose re-
cruiting the army by a draft, but also by
volunteer enlistments. They wont either
fight themselves for the preservation of
the Government, nor let others If they
can help it, Not only do they oppose
the drafting or volunteering of white
men, but of the negroes also
For these reasons believe in such great
assemolages as this to protest both
against treason South and treason in our
midst Every white Union man nor h of
Mason a DiXon's line should be up and

the rebels But England is quietly look
ing on the scene and hoping the rebels
may succeed without her aid. Thus you
aud the English monarchists are very
much alike; you equally desire the sue
cess Of the rebels, but equally you are
too cowardly TO help them. Such are
the leaders like Vallsndigham. But is
ii not astonishing that there are SO many
poor, ignorant devils following him in
CO operating with the enemies of free in
stitutions, who are seeking to reduce
them and all laboring white people to
level with the slaves.

upon all these questions. | never Ques-

extending the area of Slavery, and for
forcing white men TO an equality with
