surrectiouists was very small. People
have always given way to leaders, seldom
with evil intentions against the Govern

state of society would bsavar. not peace.
The leaders of the rebellion blinded the
people by pretended interest in their
welfare, as tho devil is never more &c.
ductive than when he puts on the arms of
superior sanctity. We submit that the
whole course of the President has been
eminently in accord with the sentiments
expressed when Military Governor Of Ten
nessee And we further submit. that those
views are by recent events made especi'
ally applicable to other portions Of the
United States. Treason whether covert
or bold must be made odious now, as well
as then. The President, in his speech at
Nashville, said:
"But in calling Convention to restore
the State, who shall restore and re-estab:

Why all this carnage and devastation
It was that treason might be put down

that traitors should take back seat in the
