The storms of sectionalism or of party
might burst upon him-the storm might
bend his irou frame, but it would not break
The devils in hell and the RAIDS. on earth
united, cannot crush him. lie was the
President of the people. and to them he
looked for strength TO stand up against the
enemies of the Constitution. Viii he ap-
peal in vain. Cries of ''No, no = and ap>
plause.
What has this Congress done for the
poor white childred of poor white soldiers !?
lie asked the question, because the white
soldiers had right 20 ask The Freed-
mems Bureau bill provides for little mig
gers-they are to be fed and clothed and
edu Gated but what has been done for
the orphan children Of white soldiers ?
lie could answer-NoTHING. He had
met them-very many of them-begging
in all the cities Of the State-for food and
shelter; while the niger brat is fed
at the expense of the poor white
labcrer of the country [Checrs] ] How
long will the people tolerate this outrage
upon the children of the brave dead, who
died for their country?
Houses were built for lazy niggers to
live in. Money given them to travel up
on. What for the poor white soldier !?
Nothing; but hy this sort of legislation,
he is required to mortgage his homestead,
if he has one, for fifty years to pay the
rich mans war debt, and to spare the
rich mans bonds from taxation. Ian,

Every man who votes for the radical
propositions add candidates, votes a mort

In conclusion, Major Moreau made a
beautiful, eloquent and most impressive
appeal to his countrymen to be true to
their country, their children and them>
selves. He called upon them 10 supplicate
the Throne of Grace to avert from them
the horrors of the revolution the men in
power were now conspiring to bring upon
