Ano'her thing is rem.rka able, in tbi.
coun eti,n. We are told about the
oppression which s * ,rcised by u lion
, mou upon the people OF the Southern
States in th matter of slavery; that tie
Union men deprived them OF their slaves.
But it is remhkab.s fact, which YOU
have nu doubt noticed, tnat have never
seen thoroughly loyal man from anv
of the sluveholdlng St.tes, not one. who
did not believe that slavery was the
cause OF war, and who, az loyal man,
did not wish, himself, 10 see slavery
ee"sc hin the limits OF the Stale where
he lived. You may go To Louisiana, md
take the loyal men vi that state, and
they will tell you th y don't want slavery
10 exist again in Louisiana. Go now 10
Maryland, which has tasted rebe lion,
hut which ha. DOT felt the weight OF tho
Proclamation, and where there has been
no interruption oil the rights of the Stste.
