sands of homes in our land were desolated
10y you. Hundreds of thousands of graves
were dug by you. Affliction, desolation,
death, followed in your train. Debt and
taxation are the fruits Of your treason
Reconstruction has heen delayed by you.

holds up its hands against you. The future
impIores TO be saved from you.
The People need the supplication, and
hence you are rejccted.-AlJany Journal.
