.1srAREBE1s GENERALLY DENoUNcE



ro, Look over the land and gather
them up in your mind, all those who
are most bitterly denouncing the acts
of the National Congress. First comes
mp that class. of men who, since 1860;
when Mr. Lincoln was elected Presi-
dent of the United States, began at
once their foul SANDERS against that
.2sgood and great man and all those with
whom he was associated; men who
went astray from their allegiance, and
violated their sworn oaths to support
- the Constitution of the United States
and all the laws of the nation, and
plunged the country into a gigantic
S9swar against the liberties of the peo-
pie; men who, for four long years,
have sought by every means within
their power to pull down this great
5g fabric set up by the wisdom of our
siV fatheFs.HB lGao fE s-.-h8is8gP
These men are the leaders in this
movement of denouncing the members.

All those, then, who opposed the
war from the beginning, the very same
men who denounced it in 1880, the

class of characters who were ready
and willing to wage war in 1863, the
very same party who, in 1864, just in
the full tide of our success, when the
grand armies of the Union were ga
thering their strength, and hurting
their power against the rebel Con.
federacy, and choking the very life out
of it, met In grand convocation in the
city of Chicago, and resolved that the

of our country. GGreat cheers
