thence, ftbearance and magnanimity of
the negrcs of the South, and their de-
votion asoldiers to the Union during
the war the rebellion, and of their
hearty lgalty, zeal and becoming de-
portmensiAce, showing that under the
circumstances in which they have been
placed tat they have justified the re-
posal in heir hands of the highest boon
of an AInrican citizen, the ballot, and
illustrate the truth that it is eminent
ly wise nd always safe to act with

ton of Cogress and consider that the

bo hurled from power by the use of

will receiW the indignation and cen
sure he sorichly merits, and will be
denounced in thunder tones as an
Tvsnt whose place should
be filled byi true patriot; and we es-
pecially fee called upon to condemn
the traitoros conduct of the Senators
who disappinted the hopes of every
loyal heart h the land in voting for the
acquittal OF Andrew johnson, whom
they knew be guilty of the crime
charged, an. deserted their country in
the hour Of trial; and we class them
with those taitors to their party and

Andrew Jolnson, with the assurance
that traito's doom awaits them.
