Of hsr enemies. We cannot ind language strong
sbough 10 express our adherence OF the faclious
lien who carry Oh these reasonable plachinstions.
Wey have taken advantage OF Certain measures

DOWN tie Rebellion, and as Just in themselves, we
hail the measures as evidences Of that energy aud
sets alton which alone lead US 70 victory.
We are as ready ever TO night suffer ard die Tor
ns sacred cause OF the UnjOn which is the cause OF
human liberty and progress, and more ready than
ever 70 punish traitors at home just well US the
Rebels IN arms.
We hope TO see day of reckoning between those
Who went into the field willing TO sacrifice their all
or their country, and those Diisefable hypocrites
Who az the commencement OF tie war cringed before
Its majestic upriiing Of popular enthueiarn, and
Low ssai, themselves OF GU hour Of mieioitune and
asnser 70 deiest our efforts barter away the great
,u'ure OF this Union, and tO trte with the blood Of
