giOus or political No wonder the Poet
said,
.!Oh, for the rarity
OF christian charity.
And who are those intensely loyal men,
are they ex-soldiers of the Union army,
WHO endangered their precious lives in
battle with the brave foe: No sir, not
at all they are a class of men, who pru-
IDENTIFY traded with both Yankee and
Rebel alike, and picked up "the almigh-
ty dcllar' wherever they could fund 1t,
during the war and / fear, sir, that the
dollar influences them to-day, much
more than the love of country, OF man,
or ofGod. Oh, We political pharisees, il
We really loved your country more than
Office We would love its union, its peace,
its prosperity and its strength, and would
readily conform to the wishes of our no.
bic and magnanimous President, God
bless him; but We political hypocrites,
am your Daniel, "the hand writing ison
the wall, y "Mene, meme, tekel, uphar-
sin," youiskingdom is numbered, weigh
ed and departed majority of you pro-
fess to believe in the pure and holy doe
trines Of the bible, and yet you cannot
suffer yourselves to be reconciled to our
erring rebel brethren; and to forgive
them; no not even for the sake of your
country, 10 nor for the love Of your God,
although God says, "unless you forgive.
your brethren, God will not forgive you.n
| The brave Union soldier who endured
for four long years the innumerable tJils
of war, can give the right hand of fellow
ship and friendship to his late foe, as did
the noble Grant, Sherman. &C., to Sle
brave but fallen enemy; but the con-.
temptible creatures, who never came
nearer than three miles to battle field,
cannot do it; SO contemplate, We hypn-
critics, your conduct, that the brave,
| General Hancock himself, has en-
phaticallX pronounced it as the cow
ards war. The great conqucror
Alexander, could be magnanimous to
the family Of King Darius, when they.
fell into his hands. He could also adj
mire the bravery ofKing Porus, whom
he conquered and restored to his king
dom, ORR account of Poruss bravery and
personaldignity. Alexander the heather
did all this, and more, and we self-stYled
christians, who ought to admire the Sre-
very of your brethren of the South, cam
not do SO. Why, could fill a volume
Of examples, taken from the heather,
where they would put you to the hl,ssh,
that is if you are capable of blushfng;
they fdr their nagnanimity, and ye for
your inanimity. Once more. Wander
the Great, Julius Caesar, and thousands
of heathens, could show more humanity
and generosity than you; with you it is
but the old barbarous game over, Of the
strong expressing the weak. protest
my undying opposition to such wretch
ed mOrality and policy, my motto is this,
"Be just, and fear not, let all the ends
thou aimest at, be thy Gods, thy coun-
trM's and truths" We Radicals and
negro-lovers preach discord. nnder the
spirit Of discord, will preach peace,
harmony and good will among men,
"Blessed are the peace-p,akers."
IL speak AS unto wise men, Judge We
what | say" any new ora in the nature
of IA Pharisee: l fear not,
union of lakes and union of lands,
union no power can sever
union of hearts aud union of hands,,
And the American Union forever"
Is neither more NOR less than what eveg~,
true American should desire.
