nent due to the great national crime of
rebellion, they will owe their escape to
the insanity of Abolitionists 1t Is thus
that antagonisms work together"
Before that proclamation the North
was unit and the South divided, now
the North is divided and the South is a
unit to fight it on to the bitter end. He
is therefore adhering to the enemies of his
country.
Is Abraham Lincoln accessory to the
fact of the slaughter of one hundred
thousand men on "my plan" from the
Rappidan to the James. Suppose those
hundred thousand men were decently
buried and head and foot stone put at
their graves telling their age, birth place
and cause of their death, would it not
have to be inscribed on each of their
graves, Died OF wounds received from
the enemy on account of "my plan. -
Abe Lincoln.
What will be said of those prisoners
left unexchanged in the South to die and
rot in Southern prisons, Died of the
heartlessness of Abraham Lincoln and
his Government" Because the Southern
first. They had enough prisoners to ex-
change for all the white men and leave
enough of white men left for negotiation
for the negroes. Still they choose to let
them rot there if they did not get the
negro slaves first. Hear

Solicitor of the War Department.
We could multiply his felonies to any
amount. Let us take hurried glance at
his misdemeanors He rode into power
under the hypocritical CRY Of free speech,
free press, free ballot, &c, aud one hun
drcd and filty-five newspaper editors and
offices has been stopped or partially inter
fercd with by him. Twenty-Five editors
were imprisoned. One of them died Il
maniac Of the three that were banished
out of the United States. Fifty-two
printing offices were mobbcd by Lincoln's
retainers. Of the incarceration for the ex-
crcisc of free speech, there is no necessity
to speak.
Lincoln and his aidcrs and abettors were
guilty of robbery by law. They put man
by the name of Clapp, into Fort Lafay
cite, lot some OTence, TOT "hlch lie never
was tried, and he bought his redemption
for alarge sum of money.
Did Lincoln keep his oath to defend and
protect the Constitution? He did not,
he does not pretend to have. Military
necessity made him, break it and there
fore made him perjurer. If they
would elect him they would put him
over the same farce again. These are all
crimes and misdemeanors at common law
and they can all be substantiated and
many more. II elected he will want five
hundred thousand more men in less than
so days, 50 as they will be ready for the
shambles in the spring.
