try. to assert thatitis not the friend of it's

= prlS0nmenG OF ECS0n b.. OIQS, for no other
pretended crime than that of uttering words
of legitimate criticism upon the conduct of
the Administration in power, and Of appeal
ing to the ballot-box for a change of policy:
we regard as q palpable violation of the
Constitution of the United States" ei
IL. "That we denounce as traitors to the
country, the Abolition Jacobins, who are
seeking to bring about civil war in the
States adhering to the Union.n
| IL. That in this crisis, we recognize but
two parties-Democrats and Abolitionists
the first are the firm and steadfast friends
of the Constitution and the Union: the lat
ter are the malignant enemies of both.
J IA. That tits the duty of the President
and Congress, to recognize the States of
Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and North
Carolina, as States of the Union, and that
their Representatives should be received in
the Congress of the United States. q, d
Is. That the refusal of the President to-
receive Alex. II. Stephens as commissioner
Of the so called Confederate States; and the
refusal Of the present Congress to send Conn
missioners to Richmond, to propose terms
for the maintenance of the Union, and for
the cessation of hostilities, and the refusal
of the House of Representatives to receive
the members elected from the State of Louis
lana, conclusively prove that neither the
President, nor those who support him., de-
sire the restoration of the Union, as formed
by Washington and his compeers. 3'W = +.
10. That we cordially invite all good citi-
zens who love Liberty and abhor corruption
ana tyranny, to JOIN with us IN the great
work OF bringing back the government
TO the Constitutional limits prescribed by
our 1athers. 9shH 'oy9a
