be overrun by the Federal armies. Whatever
pretenses may be put forward by Federal GEN.
erals or Federal editors to the contrary, are

4. The people Of the Southern States must
be governed in their domestic concerns by the
will a. pleasure Of the North.
s. Seeded States, with their Constitutions
unaltered cannot be allowed to resume State
powers.
g. The rebels must come back as a conquer
ed people, and not our equals.
4. The Southern people can only form them
selves into States by abolshing slavery.
g. Conquered districts must be kept under
military government--or, in other words. the
war must continue until State Governments

9. Conquered districts are to be held to all
their obligations under the laws, but it is for
us to dictate what privileges they will enjoy.
