nlaces o. honor and trust the chief con.
spirato7s and guiltiest rebels, whose per-
iured crimes have drenched the land IN
fraternal blood. 1t puts into the very
frame of our Government the invoabIlty
OF the National debt, and the nudity for
ever of all obligations contracted in sup
port of the rebellion. (Applause.)
