he RepuSlic and rebuild their Confederacv.


In 1861. when the Democratic National Con-
vention at Chicagoresolved that the War was
failure, and demanded an immediate cessation of
hostlties by our armies, thus waving the white
flag Of surrender, Jefferson Davis the President Of
the Rebel conspiracy, waited and watched for the
result with the deepest anxiety The magnificent
uprising Of the people destroyed his hopes; and,
with the resistless blows Of gallant soldiers.
his wicked cause went down. Now. in 1866, A.
II. Stephens, the Vice President OF that treasona-
bic organization, proclaims that their hope Is in
the elections Of this fall. Again those Ia Sc hopes
must be destroyed. The Rebel States will real
ize in the response Of the loyal millions to the is
sue, that the determination Of those who saved
the Union from their fierce attacks, to have guar
sntees against another rebellion, is inflexible.-
Yielding as they must to these demands, which.
considering their course, are even more generous
than just, the Fortieth Congress will witness
loyal Senators and Representatives In their seats
from every State. And the Uniou, thus auspi-
ciousl! reconstructed. on the enduring corner
stones Of Loyalty, Universal Liberty. the ele-
walton OF the oppressed, and the right Of all men
born under our flag or naturazed in our Courts,
TO the equal protection of the law will commence
new career OF progress, prosperity and power.
Truly Yours.
