equality and justicef Will you sustain
Congress which proposes to base
representation 10 the National Legisla-
ture upon the people to be represented;
that Congress that says that the ma
tiOnal debt incurred in crushing out the
rebellion shall be paid to the utmost

Congress which is resolved that the
tens of thousands Of limbless soldiers

their homes, shall be pensioned ,aud the
widows and orphans of the three hun

party which has gathered into it, as in

and dogs, and refused them the right
Of suffrage in the camp, in the field and
hospital-that party, the leaders of
which denounced the great and good
Lincoln as a tyrant and usurper, and
nerved the arm of the assassin who
took his life--that party the leaders of
which, after four years of strife, slan.
dered the dead and insulted the living
soldier, by solemnly declaring in Ma
tional Convention that the war was
failure-that party, the leaders of which
exerted themselves to discredit the
money and bonds of the Government
by prOclaiming their issue unconstitu-
tional and their promises to pay worth
less, that party, the leaders Of which
organized conspiracies in the North to
murder Governors, sieze rmOries and
arsenals, release rebel prisoners and de-
stroy by fire, sword and pestiIence the

themselves in rebel Congresses, and
rebel armies, and rebel navies, by their
acts of inhumanity and barbarity-will
you support party who proposes to
admit to our legislative councils the
very men who were abetting the stsrv-
alton of 5000 of our sons in Libby,
Belle Isle, Salisbury and AndersonvilIel
Are you ready, young men, to identify
yourselves with the guerrilas and high
waymen and bloody prosecutors of
Union men at the South, whose only
crime was love of their country and
fidelity to its fag7 There is not rob-

and your voyage will be prosperous
and long"
All this is in Cary's best style and is
simply terrific. 1t ought to be read
