and general Intelligence.
RoDERr +. LEE, ALEX. II. STEPHENS, and all
the leading spirits of secession, treason
and rebellion, can be admitted to this Pres.
idential tea-party, but the doors will bo-
closed against BUTLER, SUMNER, STEVENS,
WADE, ScnENcK, GARFIELD, SHELLABARGER,
WILSON, and the great host Of loyal spirits,
who have stood like formidable barriers to
resist the encroaching and unblushing de-
maids made by conquered Treason.
