Within the rebel lines not Yestlse of civil
liberty Exists, and 1t is only when the for.
tunes Of war throw us within tae reach of
Federal protection, that We can, without the
hazard OF life, give expression to our desire
for restoration Of the Union.
Completely Invested OF au power OF intlu.

absolute vssealage to the arbitrary edlcts Of a
military usurper, our only hope Of release is

and having, through changes wrought By the
