lieve that the United States army, in burningA

men, were executing Gods righteous Judgment oh
a disIoyal and stf.necked people.

deep humility that yon are the sons of Satau, ara
we the SONS of God; and when you are willing, u
vote for radical republican faE Preside Mt, instead
think you are safe and loyal men. You can then
enjoy the great and glorious privilege Of voting
for Gods loyal servants to manage of the best
governments that Heaven eveTa smiled on.
But if you DON'T help possess and hold all tho
important Offices Of this government, which 9aD-t
wisdom and gresabacks have saved from destrIe---

charbon, your hogs of trichina, and your chiekens
of gapes If you oppose the - civil rights bill"
the " freedInen's bureau hill, or the reconatruo-
ton bill, !, or support the President and his vetoes,
may you roll and roast in brimstone fires amidst
the shrieks Of deyila and damned spirits and may
you never see enc rs of hope; -aay Jon be preyed
upon by wasting, lack despair through never
ending ages oe etsrn al pain. May you. and john
son, and Seward an all copperheads, have occa-
sion to say, in the saI iguage Of the poet
when vshage swept thousand hvos away,
When have ed ten thoussud years in frei
Ton thousand thou sand, let Us then expire
