The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1866-09-28

mQuthcd loyaiists never had any broth
ers in the army to furnish blood for
traitors to dye their hands in
That wasamere snbterfuge unworthy
of men protesting 10 be statesmen. It
was well known thateach house was
judge ofithe qualification Of its mem
bers, and illustrated tho point. Sup
pose fred. handed trAitorn was sent
up from the South as "a delegate and
rejeoted--how many times would they
continue TO send him tup for rejection
How many times befbre the right man
would be sent up9 besides the oath
was the test whether n representative
was a traitor or not, Ifhe could take
the oath he would 10 as good as those
who are nowlegislating and conspiring
against white men, rebel or not. No
body wanst rebels or traitors, or ex.
poets them TO represent the nation in
Congress, and, so far as he knew, he
had never found any Of that class who
desired TO do so,
He paid n high tribute to the nm
flinching heroic character of the Presi-
don't The storms of sectionalism or of
party might burst upon him--thestorm
might bend his iron frame, but il would
not break. Tho devils in hell and the
RAIDS. on earth, united, can not crush
hIm. lie was the President Of the peo-
pie, and TO them he looked forstrength
to stand up against the enemies Of the
Constitution. VIII he appeal in vain?

| What has this Congress done for
poor white children Of poor white sol
diers2 He asked the question, because
Il c white soldiers had u right to ask
The Freedmen's Bureau Bill provides
for little niggers--7they are to be fed
and clothed and educated; but what
has been done for the orphan children
of white soldiers? lie could answer
ynothingl He had met them-very
many of them begging in all the cities
of the StateH-begging for food and
shelter; while the nigger brat is fed al
the expense of the poor white laborel
of the country. How long will tn,
people tolerate this outrage upon the
children ofthe brave dead, who dice
for their country. ..-e 4o;r.e
Houses were built for lazy niggerst

upon. Whatfor the poor white soldier
Nothiug; but by this sort of Legislation

Every man who vote for the Radica
/. propositions and candidates, votes

perhaps; his children's children ma,
never live to see it taken therefrom

which he is free from taxation by Rad

has done for the poor white soldier.
In conclusion, Major Moreau made
beautiful, eloquent and most impres
sive appeal to his countrymen to b,
true to their country, their children
and themselves. He called upon then
TO supplfcate the Throne of Grace tC
