the people of tho Middle and Southern
States. Gross aud exaggerated charges
of disorder and violence owe their origin
to the misohievous minds of potential
managers in the Senate and House of
Representatives, to which tho Executive
has, we regret to say, lent his aid, and
thus helped to inhame the popular feel
ing. In oil this course of hostile legisla-
ton and harsh resentment, no word OF
Cancellation, of kind encouragement or
fraternal feeling has ever been spoken
by the President or Congress to tho poo-
pie Of tho Southern States. They have
been addressed only in the language of
prescription. We earnestly cntrent our
ellow-citizcns, III all pnrts Of the Union,
to spare no efforts to maintain peace and
order; 10 carefully protect the rights of
every citizen; to preserve kindly reIa-
tlons among MI men, and to discounte-
nance and discourage any violation of
tho rights of any portion of the people
secured under the Constitution or any Of
its amendments; md in conclusion. We
earnestly beg Of you not to give aid to
the present attempts Of Radical parti-
snns to stir up strife in tho land; TO re-
new the Issues Of war, or TO obstruct the
return OF peace aud prosperity to the

they seek TO divert the attention Of tho
country from tho corruption and extra
vagancc in tlicir administration Of pub
lie affairs and tho dangerous and profit
gate attempt they arc making towards
the creation OF centralized military go
vermont.
In the tive years Of pcaco following
tho war the liatlicnl administration have
expended 81, 200, 900, 000 for ordinary
purposes alone, being within 5000, ,0OO,-
O0O OF tho aggregate amount spcnt for
the snmc purposes in war and III peace
during Tue scvcnty-Ono years preceding
Juno 30, 1851, not including in either
case the sum paid upon principal or in
tercst Of tho public debt It is trilng
with the intelligence Of tho people for
tho Radical lenders to pretend that this
vast sum has been honestly expended.
Hundreds of millions Of it have boen
wantonly sqnandered. Tho cxpendi-
turcs OF tho Government for the fiscal
year ending Juno 80. 1861, were only
SG2, 600, 600, whilo for precisely the samo
purposes civil list, army. navy, pension
and Indians $lG4, 900, 600 were cxpend-
ed during tho fiscal year ending Juno
80. 1870. No indignation can DO too
stern and no scorn too severe for the
assertions by unscrupnlous Radical
leaders that tho great Democratic and
conservative party OF the Union has or
can have sympathy with disorders or
violence III any part of the country, or
in tho deprivation OF any man OF his
rights under the Constitution. It is to
protect aud pcrpctuatc the rights which
every freeman chcrishes; to revive in all
hearts the feeling of friendship, nlrec-
ton and harmony which arc tho best
guarantees of law and order and 10
throw around tho humblest citizen,
wherever he may be. tho protecting :cgis
OF these safeguards Of personal liberty
which tho fundamental laws of the land
assure, that we invoke tho MD Of all
| good mcn III tho work Of peace and re-
cancellation. We invite their generous
co-npcration, irrespective Of all former
differences OF opinion, so that the harsh
voice OF discord may be relieved, that II
row and dangerous sectional agitation
may he checked; that The burdens of
taxation, direct or Indirect, may be re-
! tuced to the lowest point consistent with
good faith to cycry just national oblign-
ton. and with a strictly economical nd
ministration Of the Government; and
that the States may be restored in their
integrity and true relations 10 onr Fc.lc-
