other means. We are therefore led to the |
conclusion that the present quarrel with Con- |
gress arises. from deliberate plot by the
President to adopt = Southern rebel policy |
tending to the restoration OF slavery. It has

is It any wonder that the Irepreadble conflict
Is rs active Is ever, and Is sure to continue
until the house now divided against itself

whose loyalty is beyond the cnvf Of doubt;
and legislators Of those who are To be white!
washed by an oath Of loyalty. Even those
few southerncrs who did not fight against the
Onion armies, were tacii, If no: active, partlc-
