We know that the views which are here
presented are exposed to the prejudiccs of
our people. Some will probably End fault
with US for giving expression to them. But
wehavc felt it to be a duty to strip the sub
jeet Of the disguises which ,ialse Pride has
thrown around il, and to ask our people. to

would not feel certain that his son or dangh-
ter, was safer in the steady. employment of a
: moralamd religious family, where they would
, be subject to home Influences and have thcad
| vantagcs Of good instruction and example
than if they were wandering about, gceking
5 occasional and uncertain wages, here and
} there, with oft recurring intervals Of idloness
which is the parent Of vice.

structon in Conflict viii. the express orde
Il of the President, when he was General Of tn
} army, ia regard to The test oath in Georgia
+ and in conflict with the opinion Of the Attol
0 ncy General as to the obligations Of the Viz
: gina Legislature to take the test oath"
d The bill makes the Governor of the Stat
it absolute. It says that upon his application
J. the President shall employ such military o
or naval forces as may be necessary to exc
+ cute the provisions of the bill.
l. The Governor (Bullock) is thief, liai
o and a villain, if the testimony of as good me

J, vantage Of his position to rob the State treas
