oIBhuEeu flgny or wrongly Voelieruu:
cheers l. and all could do, so far as my
judgment taught me, for The loyal cit Zen
was to see to il that no, exaction should bt
put upon him No property should be ia
Ken away from him that was not absoluiel y
necessary for the success of military opera
tlons. | know nothing else hat could

of this is why some OF my old Democratic
friends have got lost, ~ getting from one
portion uf the cOuutry to the other, ia their
thoughts aud teeliugs-let me- repeat that,
in making war or making peace, carrying
on govern mental operations of any sort,
governments and their representatives, SO
far as am instructed, can deal only with
organized communities, aud men must fall
Or rise with the cOmmunile, in which they
are situated You in New York must col
low the Government as expressed by the
will OF the m jnrity Of you State, until you
can reVolutlouz ze against that government;
and those loyal at The South must, uutll
this contest comes into process of settlement
