AEorHEn REBELLION ENoOURAeED.

ANOEHER REBELLION ENCOUBAGED.
The address issued by Mr.. johnson s
Convention contains the following sen
tence which was received with tremend-
Gus applause, and was read a second time
for the especial qualification Of the rebel
delegates
No people has ever yet existed whose
loyalty and faith such treatment long con-
tinued would not ALLEVIATE and impair !;
aud the ten millions Of Americans who
live in the South would be unworthy cit
iZens of free country, degenerate sons Of
a heroic ancestry, unfit ever to become
the guardians of the rights aud liberties
bequeathed to us by the fathers and
founders of this republic, if they would
accept with uncomplaining submissive
ness the humiliation thus sought to be
imposed upon them.
This is strange language to emanate
from the great convoeation Of $ National
Unionists and arm-in-arm patriots
Tt not only furnishes the pretext for, but
justifies another rebellion by the South.
To treat traitors with any sort of humili-
ating distinction from loyal men is, ac-
oording to the ideas of the bread and but
ter party, thing by no means admissible.
If the aforesaid traitors were to endure
such an indignity for any length Of time,
they would prove unworthy of their ex-
alted chivalry and high-born blood. Be
careful, We ranting, canting Radicals -
how ye thus insult our spirited brethren
of the South.

damages done to his estate By his rebel
