league with death and covenant with
hell.
The shoddy contractors, who make .
hundred per cent. on their patriotic SER
vices to the Government.
The radical press, which, having pre-.
viously misled the people, by telling
| them the South could not be kicked out
Of the Union, is row the most insatiate
| in their thirst for blood.
The manufacturers Of the New Eng
land States, whose wealth Is increasing
with the increase of taxes.
The army Of tax assessors and coiiec.
tors, who have been let ldQse all over the
loyal States to feed and fatten on the sub
stance Of the people.
The men who called on heaven to bless
the President after they had been ap-
pointed Brigadier SSSasvAis,
The men who believe that the restless
and unquiet spirit of John Brown is still
marching on; who maintain that he was
q martyr to human liberty, and who in.
sist that he was right in invading the
sovereign State Of Virginia.
The men who are in favor of consolida-
ton and centralized despotism at Wash
ington, and who would overthrow the
sovereignty of the States.
The men who believe that the liberty
of the press, the freedom Of speech, ha-
beas corpus, the boundaries Of States and
the civil tribunals of the country should
be abolished whenever they in any way
conflict with the policy Of the Admins
tration.
The men who argue that whatever the
President does, or orders to be done,
should be obeyed, as the will Of despot,
and who contend that even the Constitu-
ton should be set aside whenever it in.
terferes with his edicts.
The men wo would make the liberty of
the white man subordinate to the eman-
Cipation OF the negro.
The men whose telescope vision can
see nothing nearer than Africa, and
whose ears are closed to the walls of the
widows and orphans that crowd our cities
by thousands.
The Abolition orators and writers who
are allowed by the Administration mo-
nopoly of the liberty of speech and Of the
press.
The men who, in the confiscation Of
the property Of the Southern people, ex-
pect to come in for their share Of the i'll.
gotten gain, and who would establish the
same military plantation system in the
South which the English government at
one time so successfully attempted in
Ireland.
The men who would make the Union
a union Of the conquered with the con-
queror, and who would establish the
same relations between the North and the
South that exists between Russia and
Poland.
The men who would not have the
Union re-established unless slavery is
abolished.
The men who secuted all compromise
and reconciliation, and who will be salts
fed with nothing less but the complete
humiliation of our Southern fellow-citi-
zens, and the occupation of the South by
large military force.
The men who told the President that
on the promulgation of his Abolition
proclamation the roads of New England
would swarm with nine hundred thou
sand volunteers. ........,
The AboltioniSts ofthe British Empire,
who have leagued with native anti-slavery
traitors to overthrow the Union, and who
know that the longer the war is continued
the less chance there is for its restora-
ton.
The enemies of the Republic and hu-
man freedom all the world over, who are
gloating over the acts of the despotism at
Washington, and pointing their subjects
to its assumption of absolute power, as a
proof that self government is failure.
Such are the men who are in favor Of
a further prolongation of the war. With
these facts before us, shall we still con-
tinue our suicidal course or shall we
seek, through convention of the States,
to restore that union of the North and
the South, between which our enemies
would make dividing line more impas-
sable than any Chinese wall ever con-
line that would render union
q mockery, by making q union Of the ty-
rant with the oppressed ia union Of
the shark with its prey;" union whose
emblem would be e>the sword; \ union
whose people would be converted from
citizens into subjects, and whose servants
would become their masters! Is it such
q union as this we want? Are we pre-
pared to plunge into the dread abyss that
is yawning beneath our feetS If this is
q government of the people, let the peo.
pie see to it that their wishes are respect
ed and their demands complied WITH
