The ones who have wronged, who have ruined
the people, are the ones to talk colciliation, not
the victims OF wrong, of tyranny, of injustice,
persecution, fraud and clownish intolerancel
Who will we cnnciliate2 -
For what should we conciliatef
Had not the leading Democrats of the nation
lost their pluck, and stopped to conciliate a few
years since, there would bs no such work as
now2
Had we demanded the right but our own, had
two million Democrats of the North stood on
64.tn
would be more men and fewer corpses in the land
to-nay.
Nice time to conciliate when the murderer has
the knife to your heart, the thief has both hands
IN your pocket, the burglar has gained entrance
10 your house, when the seducer laughs at his
Vicnm when the incendiary is warming his hands
and cooking his meat by the fire he has kindled,
when the assassin has attacked you on tie street,
when mob is at your door.
Ihank God, we never tried the conciliatinp
dodge When the mob came, we faced it. When
men called US traitor, we slapped their faces
men towards forsook us, we held our own own
and kept the good old banner up where we could
up where we could see it at all events

Two million able-bodied victims talk of con-

work they have done. : s'...7
Wed sooner conciliate the hyena who has his
nose IN the graves of our darlngs, the wolf who
has robbed us Of our lands, the Butler who has
stolen our silver, the resurrecti6nist who has
snatched our wept one from the grave, the tyrant
who is strangling our infant, the maion of power
who poisons those who dare not fight, and the
viper which is ready at all times to strike his
tangs into US, rather than with the ones who for
hate envy, Spite greed, money, place, power, and
lust have broken into the temple and ravshed
The goddess there sleeping, while we, her chosen
defenders, were, coward-like, talking ''concila-
ton" Let those who dare not fight 20 to the
