Fellow. .citisens, l tell you that the best

them like men. Pay them because your
Government demands it and it is nee
cssary. Do this and gil up the armies
If you refuse to pay taxes, If you refuse
to carry on the Government, you viii
lose all The Government will be de-
stroyed, aud then instead Of guerrilla
numbering 10 the South you will have
them here in Illinois and all over the
North. You will have the same state of
things in the North that they have now
in the South. '"' "..l h.'

stitutional law, to discuss the rights and
interests Of individuals aud the rights
and interests Of the Government, in the
