serving of deeper, darker damnation than the
common herd-Of rebel sinners, it is that man
and that party who in this the day of our na-
lions great trial, have no word of sympathy
for the government, no support for its meas
ures IN its efforts to crush treason, no word of
condemnation for traitors and rebels who are
trying 10 tear down the fair temple of our
nationality and overthrow constitutional liber-
ty and destroy Union that has blessed The
world. AS sure as God is just and day con-
TIMES &c follow night, there is day o:retri-
button coming TO this class Of cattle, as we'll as
punishment TO armed traitors. | DO think that
all such viii be clothed with more intaIny and
go down 10 an ignominious grave, followed by
tie curses Of all patriots and lovers Of their
country, to keep company with an Arnold and
a Burr, if the latter class DO not, which think
they WILL sink 10 a ,i,ptli Ia rain, damuation
and infsrny that the former never reachei--
May Cod have mercy on their souls shoud the
sold;ery ever get af e. them, for 50 far my
observations and czi erie. &c have gone the so
diers almost to a man in this army w0nid iast
as soon shoot northern traitors as southern
rebels. But trust they viii have 10 occasion
10 use force north, as see a reaction is taking
place DO believe that this war would eOm9
10 an honorable close and treason banished
forey, from our borders in less than months
could the Administration have the united sup
port Of The north. You may think I use
siiong language in reference to northern trai
tors, but l assure you there is no language ii
our vocabulary sufficiently severe TO after ny
contempt and ablorreuce FIR all such men. Ii
makes my blood boil with indignation and an
earnest desire TO see all such miscreants hurg.'
