presumption By which the institution
had been maintained, and which cul-
minated IN rebellion, did not, I'M
happily for the eountr-, perish with the
rebellion. Even in its ashes live its
vonted hres.D he same men who
abetted and engaged In the rebellion,
so far as they survive, have not, We are
compelled 70 believe, abated their
hatred Of the Government and
an who were instrumental in
resisting the demands Of the slavery
politicians and In its final overthrow,
nor abandoned the purposes with which
they originally went into the rebellion.
We have had the most convincing evj-
dsnes that The rebels in this State, at
least, are resolved, despite all their
professions TO the contrary, TO keep
alive the snouldering hres of hostility
70 the Government. The feeling is not
confined to those who were actively en-
gagged in the rebellion and have come
back. Their secret friends who re-
manned among the loyal people during
the war, are more bitter even than they.
These men have all been marked by
their neighbors as sympathfzing with
the crime against the country; and
they naturally labor TO regain their
ancient respeetability by withdrawing
the rebellion. Admitted that the re-
belIion was no crime, II follows that
they are not Partieeps erfSsfgfs; but are
ON the contrary UNSUCCESSFUL patriots. |
