property Of these aristocrats now stands con-
demned aud forfeited to the United STATES.
These things new are put under the stern

difed by Generals or President Also, the
same class Of men are by the same high pow

would be greater than that of 500 900 men.

sttuie their battle cry as they encounter the
foe, that Is, Liberty and Protection" to ali

equitable Government on the face Of the

great clamOr was raised by certain men
in tis country that the commanders Of
our armies conducted them in accordance
with the usages Of civilized nations.
This party clamored for war on war
principles, blasphemously talked Of hav-
ing God on their side, and now was their
