Ing 10 osorihrow Tho State government who
have favored the most pioscilPiive policy |
towards the South, and who have been In
dusirlously mlsrtprosenilng the feeling aud
wishes Of the people u This State, aud who
arc urging upon the military authorities
the most unwarranted and arbitrary acts
who are organizing secret societies among
the freedmen, and are appealing to their
lowest instincts and pa sslonT who denounce
the President for his just and liberal policy
Of reconstruction, and who now charge
that he and the cabinet are constituting the
laws Of Congress so as to favor rebels, SO,
Sc. II Is to this class OF men we refer, and
not to the great body Of men who voted with
the radical party in this State in the last
election, when these same lenders denied
emphatically that they were In favor Of ne
gro suffrage aud negro jurles, and in such
denial were believed by many good men
who would have scorned association with
them had they avowed the doctrines they
have since proclaimed. We know that there
are many intelligent and patriotic men
who supported these same radical leaders
last year for Office because they wero de-
ceiycd and believed them to be friendly to
the Presidents policy.
Although perhaps majority Of the con-
sentative party in this State is made up Of
,;,::rsons who were original secessionists, yet
IT is true that the great mass or tho prigi-
nal union men of the State also belong to
II. And while nearly all the original I'M
ion men who participated in the war; or
adhered to the South acted with II, quito
number of the truly loyal men Of the State
who never faltered in their adherence to
the general government, also belong to 1t.
or the twelve thousand votes cast for the
radical standard bearers, quite number
of them were rampant secessionists, some
were officers in the confederate army, 9th
ers we're privates, and some Of them were
disappointed in the honors they expected to
obtain; and not few were men who huz.
zaed loudly over Confederate victories, and
were among the most zcalons Of the zeal
GUS in the support of the "Lost Cause."-
These classes yet remain faithful, and are
now exerting themselves to secure the negro
vote for their party by the lowest and most
despicable mems. As we have said, there
were many good men who voted with them
before that will no longer be found among
their supporters.
There is no reason-especially is 1t so in
Northern Texas-why there should be any
parties among US. There is no necessity
but for one party. Aparty true in its faith
and allegiance to the Constitution, laws,
and the Union party that earnestly de-
sires restoration upon the most liberal, just
and humane terms; party that will send
men to the Convention without regard to
past antecedents; who arc in favor of q
constitution embracing in its provisions
equal rights to all classes Of American cit
liens, and equal laws for the protection of
the lives and property of every class of the
people, party who have no feelings of
malice to crafty, and who, while asking to
be trusted, can be trusted; who are willing to
ignore all past errors and differences, and
look only to present and future evidences OF
faithfulness to the government; n party
that is willing to protect the negro in all
the rights guaranteed to him by the Con-
s,itution and the laws Of the general gov
eminent, and make the same efectual by
State enactments applicable to him and to
others alike and that is DESTROYS Of direct
ing him in the intelligent use and exercise
of those rights, without pandering to hi
T most ignorant passions and arousing thu
worst clio nents of his noture. In short, {
party, bona Jfde, earnest and truthful, in TO
vor of the government as recognized and
upheld by the constitution, taxation upor
all sections and interests alike speedy ant
, liberal restoration of all the States, de-
, sire to cultivate and promote the mos
f friendly relations between the people of al
> classes and every section, to sustain an'
enforce a prompt and DISQUALIFICATION
r the laws, State and National, and bound to
gether by determination to preserve tn
5 Union and perpetuate the government, up
: on the principles of republicanism engraft
. ed upon it by the fathers.
l Who is there in all Ibis broad land VIII
cannot agree 10 act upon such platform
What interest has any man in acting wit
: party that is proscriptive and selfish 2
f What good can be effected by it? Wha
f harm may not be inflicted upon the coun
try by arrogance, selfhness, vindictivenes
: and appeals to the worst and vilest passion
a of men 3? Who is there thut does not kno'
that loyalty to the government mean
support Of all the departments of tn
government and not one branch Of it alon'
s and that the doctrine that Congress is 81
d preme, and may encroach upon the Execu
n tive and Judicial departments at will,
= subversive of liberty, and is the first grea
Q step in the work of revolution that mus
y utterly and forever destroy the government
9 that was founded in the wisdom, and cor
n secrated by the blood Of the patriot sires
e '76.
f We say then, to every man, let us unit
and promote speedy restoration, by faitf
:. full compliance with the requirement Of th
y laws. There is no reason why the origins
i Union men and Observation-Disclosures wh
J. adhered to the South, and those who &c
I hered to the general government-the whit
e Md the black man--should not act togeti
u err. All have the same Interests at stake
4 all are to be benefited alike, and all hav
; the same interest in the speedy restoratio
) of peace and prosperity to the country
q Our remarks are applicable to every part
