In Paduca1, aud in fact throughout the |
district Of Western Kentucky, there are |
large class OF laudlp1ds who are rich In !
houses and lands, the RENTS Of which bring |
them In pripcely fortunes. To do Federal |
Justice to this class, the General Issued his !
rent order, us follows:

This order substantially furnished the

States, opening their eyes to tbs enormIties
ot their armies, and assuring them that theY
must not ask further protection from GOV

Reader, ask yourself what remains OF the
'ebellion in tbs district OF Western Keu-

" getting Gen. Paiue removed or his orders
revoked. If they tall in this foElorn hope,
he rebellion dies, not to live again In this
