baffled in his lust for power, with crashing
teeth turned upon the government that had
lifted him to its highest honors, and upon the
country that had borne him, and down to the
close of his fevered life labored necessarily to
scatter far ard wide the seeds of that poison
of death now upon our lips. The thorns
which now pierce and tear US are of the tree
he planted.
Judge HoLT then sets forth the specific
purposes and operations of the order under
the following heads, giving summary of ev-
idence under each:
1. Encouraging and aiding soldiers to de-
sert, and harboring and protecting de-
serters.
2. Discouraging enlistments and resisting
the draft
8. The circulation of disloyal and treason
able publications.
4. Communicating with and giving intelli-
gence to the enemy.
5. Aiding the enemy by recruiting for
them, or assisting them to recruit within our
lines.
s. Furnishing the rebels with arms, ammu-
milton, &c.
Z. Cooperating with the enemy in raids
and invasions.
8. Destruction of government property.
Q. Destruction of private property and
persecution of Union men.
10. Assassination and murder.
IL. Establishment of Northwestern Con-
federacy.
THE WITNESSES AND THEIR TESTIMONY.
The facts detailed in the present report
have been derived from a great variety of
dissimilar sources, but all the witnesses, how
ever different their situation, concur SO point
eddy in their testimony, that the evidence
which has been furnished of the facts must
be regarded as of the most reliable character.
The principal witnesses may be classified as
follows;

Abolition ticket and challenging voters.
By such means timid men were kept from

Again and again have the people been

still the allow themselves to be deceived.
Every. step Of Grants march has illustra'
ted the fatal policy of the Administration
"a policy which, by its proclamatiOns,
confiscatiOns and threats of subjugatiOn,
has deprived the Southern people of all
hope Of life. liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness" under . return to the Federal
Union. and inspired them with the ener'
gy Of despair, in maintaining their inde-
pendence, as the only alternative to utter
misery. A people believing and feeling
thus, fight, in their own estimation, for
their liberties, their domestic affairs and
their lives, and all history shows us that
they can never be conquered. They may
be overthrown on this or that battle field
they may for a time seem to be utterly
crushed out-but the spirit Of resistance
will remain and break out into action at
every fresh opportunity. A bitter disap-
pOintment awaits the people il they really
believe that the war will soon end. 1t
will continue as long as the present fatal
policy is adhered to. To talk about con.
