the country and the Republican admins
tration the expenditure Of more than 81
600 0,000,000 from the Treasury.
2 That the Rebellion was began for the
express purpose Of overthrowing repubi-
can institutions and establishing upon
their ruins slaveholdlng oligarchy and
that all the burdens Of taxation, past, pres
ent and prospective, are the necessary
c0nseq uence OF a Democratic rebellion.
3. The vast sacrifice of life on the bat
tle-feld, and in the hospitals and prisons,
is justly due to the reasonable action and
purposes Of the Democratic leaders.
t. That in the preparation Of this rebel
lion the whole power of the last Democrat
ic administration was exhausted, the pub
lie treasury plundered the navy scattered
or dismantled, the army placed under the
command of traitors, and carried beyon
the reach of the incoming administration,
AID within the borders Of the contempla-
ted revolutionary government.
D. That all these acts were done IN ODE
dienee 10 the orders Of the Democratic
ecnspirators, and by the advice and with
The approval Of the Democratic leaders, In
