You are really IN PETER condition e,aIi d

and it is the advice OF such men as SENATOR
Wilson, OF Massachusetts, and Judge Kelly
OF Pennsylvania. whose lives nave Deen spent

ment OF mankind. lido not believe that the
Republican party desires 10 connscate INC es-
tate OF any man. 1t IS true that MI stevens
and other prominent members OF that party
have avowed that they did, butt speak OF the
party and not OF individual members OF that
party. know that the secessionists are IN tne
habltof charging that the hepuoiican party
is "nigger" party, and that 1t Is seeking ex-
cuses to confiscate the land in order to degrade
the Southern white man, and am aware that
they are lnjuring the Republican party more
with this false charge than they are with all
their arguments combined. Now contend
that the government (which has been admin
istered by the Republican party has been the
most magnanimous government on earth to
rebels, and that it is base ingratitude in inen
who staked and lost all, to be misrepresenting
aparty who are offering them the hand Of
friendship, and who are trying to pulltdown
none, but to elevate all. Twill merely remark
for the benefit of those who say that confis-
cation is IN emanation of infamy and base
ness, that in 1862 the Congress of the So
called Confederate States passed confisca
ton law, and Jefferson Davis approved of it
By virtue ofthat law, / was suedin Confeder
