their allegiance to the General Govern
mcnt, the past would be forgiven They
must be thus assured in the end, and
why not let that end be now :''-Mus,
catine Courier.
1t will be seen from the above that
the Courier is anxious to have JEFF
Davis and all his murderous crew forgiv-
en- and restored to all their former rights
and privileges. The Courier supposes
that if Jeff. and his friends should again
occupy seats in our National Congress,
they would so vote as to reward it and
its friends And SO they would if JEFF.
remembered his friends. Judge Voor-
hees, a rebel Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of louisiana, recently told US, in
speaking Of his relative ID. W. Voorhees,
Of Indiana, Comprehend, that he thought
"Dan. was doing the rebels as much
good as if he was serving 10 the rebel
army" And it is true All such men
as Vallandigham, Voorhees,, Byington
and Thayer are doing more to help keep
up the rebellion than they could possibly
have done by going South and joining
the rebel columns.
Ga reflection we are Of the opinion
that Thayer's name does not properly
belong in the above list No doubt he
desires to aid the rebels as much as any
Of the others, but he hasn't the capacity
to do So He shows the cloven foot SO
plain that nc danger is to be apprcheuded
from him. No one who is not already
sympathizer with the rebels will swallow
such outrageous yarns as the Courier
gives its readers.
The Courier is anxious to forgive Jeff
Davis for all Tive murders, deaths and
wounds th,t been caused by the
rebellion. 1t is willing to have him,
with his hands reeking with the blood of
the hundreds Of thousands that have
been slain since the war began aud with .
his heart as full of treason as it ever
was, for it asks for no repentance on his
part-lt is willing, We say, to have him
take his seat among our law makers.
1t asks for no promises for the future,
but will leave him free to again plot his
damnabie treason. No people that is
worthy Of the respect of mankind would
ever permit such thing No, The
rebels must be punished 50 that no man
will ever dare again to raise his arm
