weak, driveling and misguided man who
governs our country only to destroy it, has
just issued bis proclamation neminaaly prog
claiming freedom to the slaves, hut In reali4
ty to add to the horrors of civilwar the more
n dreadful atrocities Of servile and barbarous
warfare to be waged against aged and inirm
men, helpless women, sand innocent little
Children While this act ofMfr. Liccola will
bring upon him and, those, who sustain him,
the universal execration of all christian and
civilized men removed from this theatre OF
excitement and passionio destroys the last
vestge of hope for the Union of our fathers.
