significant proof of the folly of this Administra-
ton, which has drawn from its support those

the rebellion. Then their hopes even their own
personal safety, were upon the noble men in the
border States who. under circumstances the
most trying severed family relationships and an
cient associations. to uphold the flag of the
country. Many of these men are now members
of this convention They bear impressed on
their countenances and manifest in their presence

their families and trampled on their rights BY
vindictive legislation. and through e agency of
miserable and dishonest subordinates.
