Nh. EDIToR I'VE had Intended bestowine
come further conf ents on the Dover resolu
tons, but the President has taken the wind
out Of our sails. If he is right they are right
II they are wrong he is wrong. His veto
message and stump speech and those resoiu-
tons are identical in spirit, argument add
purpose. The resolutions denOunce Congress
for refusing to admit rebels and traitors to
representation in the National Congress. So
does Andy Johnson. They both claim to be
the defenders of the Constitution and the re-
served rights of the States Have we not had
that echoed and re-echoed from Maine to CAL
itornia ever since the war began. Was 1t not
the burden of their song in the Chicago Con-
vention2 And does Andy Johnson's repeat
ing the lesson to u mob OF reconstructed reb-
els at Washington give il any additGnal infiu-
ence or authority. VI ietiue Andy Insists that
their representatives must be what he calls
"lDyal men," But hold II those States have
the right TO be represented; if tho war is over,
and peace established as he would have US
believe; il they are sovereign States in the
Union, they have the right to send TO Con-
gress any man the majority may choose, be
that nan r. E Lee, J. U Breckenridge Bob.
To0mbs or the great arch traitor, jeff Davis
himself. Aud the President, by insisting that
they shall be represented by a particular class
of their citizens, violates the Constitution and
tramples on their sovereign will just as much
as Congress does by excluding the whole Of
them until they arc satisfied that they have
purged themselves of treason and become
qualified for place In the Union. Again, If
those States are in the Union and peace is
restored, by what authority does he hold mill
tary possession His position and that of the
copperhesd party are equally monstrous and
absurd. Yet carry out their assumptions, and
they are nothing more, and there is whare we
will land. Union men OF Delaware are you
prepared for the result It that what you call
'making treason odious7" Ia that the way
you teach the people that treason is a crime
In the name Of the niue acres of buried heroes

moi In the name of an outraged and insulted
country We answer no In the name OF the
down trodden and loyal black man, abandon
cd to the vengeance of his enemies, we carry
our appeal to the God of justice and OF mer-
cy, with full conviction that IL the loyal men
OF this nation falter now, and allow them
selves to be guilty of the tefable meanness
of abandoning him to a fate worse than sla-
very itself for the sake OF transient and
hollow peace, the judgment OF heaven will oe
poured out upon this land with Hood, COM

through for the last four years will be but as
