The fact is, that the true Union men
of the South are conservative men,
They are the men who protested against
secession from tho first and exerted
whatever influence they could to avert
tho war They are the men who have
received the confidence Of the President
and are yielding to his administration a
cordial and efficient support. They
have seen enough of the horrors Of the
war; have suffered enough; and are
now, as they were five years ago, anx'

STEVENS and HAMILTON and GANNr and
