;: We plead, therefore, on behalf Ct the South
iteelf, that the outrage be given to tho ne
groes, IN order that the Southern States may
havc that peace Without which they can
never have prosperity.
But again-If. the States shall DO recon.
stIuctcl on rebel basis, and 20 admitted
by Congress, they will hold the balance Of
Dower between. the two political parties at
the North, and 50 will maize The next Pfesi-
dent. This would conge:t ths rebellion into

permitted to vote, the politicians will adapt
their constitutions aud laws to their in ter

will be in sympathy with emancipation mud

four. .nftbs Copperheads, and will vote the
Corperhcad tickot. For the security Of the
/ Union, therefore, the Unionfsts Of the South,
as well as the rebels, should bc permitted TO
vote. =. -.
But you eay the South confesses It's defeat
and that Slavery is dead. 30 did Napoleon
contess:h his defeat when hs WAS sent to Elba.
But he rstcfped.. saying to The soldiers sent
10 resist httn, "Behold your Emperor" and
1t required : Waterloo to sind him to st.
Helena. If the States shall be reconstructed
Tn the rebel basis now adopted, then slavery
Is not abolished !; 1t is only retired like Napo-
Icon to Eliza. Il will soon return like NIpo-
leon to France, and say to ita henchmeu, the

Give the ballot 10 the rebel only, and slay-
cry only waits at Elbn. GIVE thu ballot to
the negro, and slavery is baniahcd to Its St.
Heb na-its grave. Now the rebels wait up
hand for admission. They say. like thcassas-
sin, to President johnson, "do not let me
disturb ycu, but when will you be at home."
Now they Ut clay In the hands Of the potter,
