laws Of the 81 States Of this Union, for
treason against the Government Of these
United States, Nth their fortunes, and
their Ines while the masses of rebels,
destined to live, themselves, and their
children after them, for generations, to
generations, under the "Stars and Stripes

der a Government, aud Constitution 100,
formed and perfected BY our Fore-fathers

from Heaven, decreed tha. 1t should be
so, when he Aorered around f. Sumter,
and cried out in thunder tones amid the
shock Of battle and the roar of artillery

Their destiny; The Rebels are not
only destined to loose their hold On the
reins Of the General Government, bat
also the reins of their own stale Govern

Uncle Sam" 5 still alive, and vail yet
adm sinister those Governments for them,
Backed up by federal b~ayonets, until
such times as the 4,s67,000 non-slave-
holding whites of the South, shall be al
lowed to come up to the Ballot.box and
vote without fear or m~olestation from the
insignificant $4,000 slave holders.
Their destiny: why Ladies and Gent
lemen, the very name Of American rebels
is destined to become a reproach, and a
by-word, and myth upon the tongue of
all foreign nations. AND their iniquities
TO be visited upon them to the Sd and 18th
generations, and their presence either in
private or public as semblies, hereafter
is destined to become disgusting to the
optical vision of the worlds inhabitants
and their inhuman atrocities committed
in this rebellious war, are destined to be-
come a stencil in the nasal organs of the
civilized world.
Their destiny: Their homes are des-
tined to become desolate and their es-
tates to be parcelled out, and passed into
the hands of strangers; their palaces of
pomp, splendor, and pleasure, are des-
tined to become the abode of the federal

sentry and the voice Of command shall
only be heard, where silks and satin so
lately rustled, where beauty reveld in
wealth. now fed forever.
And the roar Of artillery. the rattle of
musketry, the flash of the Enfield Rife,
and the clash of sabres, shall only be
heard where the OK feeds now quietly,
and the sheep come bleating to the fold.
Their destiny: The rebels are yet des-

of their cultivated gardens, and great
fears shall fall. upon them, until the hod-
carrier shall fee from his ladder, the
mechanic from his bench, the merchant
from his shop, and the planter from his
pillow and last-not least-the negroe
from his master, and the wild sedge shall
spring up and flourish abundantly where
the cotton crop, now grows prolific, and
the wild wolf shall howl, and the buzards
build their nests unmolested, where their
~fore-fathers first planted the germ of civ

This Ladies and Gentlemen, is a faint
outline of their temporal destiny. Their
spiritual destiny rests with their God,
with which you, nor L have nothing to do

conclusion, that l very much fear their
spiritual lot even, will be cast with the
first great Rebel and traitor, Layfcer him.
