able body to make a law out OF it that will
carry a thrill to the hearts Of the men who
are so tebelliOus as to be spelling for q
fight" We shall see.

manner perfectly satisfactory to all who ap.
p~reciase the credit of the State, and desire
the success Of the Union cause. RepudiA-
tors and their specializing clans of public
thieves, will be driven, pell NELL, from the
temple, and the honor OF the State will be
rigidly maintained and preserved unsullied.

yagabOnds throughout the country who are
abusing the Legislature ard Gov. BsOwnlOw
will skulk to their dens.

it takes the entire effective force of the loyal
portion Of the State to do it-snd il hot
headed desperadoes cannot see it till martial
law is declared over them, they will see il
after that is done-torei6iy. AZ a great and
good man has said "Let Ne have peacein

modated and fully IatisfsS, before the matter
is disposed of, G. E. G.
