Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-04-23

resentment, no word Of Cancellation,
OF kind encouragement or frsternal
fellowship has ever been spoken BY
the President or by Congress to the
people Of the Southern States. They
have been addressed only in language
Of prescription. We earnestly entreat
our fellOW-citzens ia all parts Of the
Union to spare no effort to
MAINTAIN PEACE AND ORDER,
to carefully protect the rights of every
citizen, to preserve kindly relations
among all men, and to disc0uEtenance
and discourage any violation Of the
rights Of any portion of the people
secured under the Constitution OF
any Of its amendments.
Let US, in conclusion, earnestly beg
of you not to aid the present attempts
OF the Radical paVtisans to stir up
strife in the land, to renew the issues
of the war, or to Obstruct the return
Of peace and prosperity to the South
ern States, because IL is thus that they
seek to divert the attention of the
country from the corruption and eX-
tIavagance Of their administration OF
public affairs and the
DANGEROUS AND PROFLIGATE AT
TEMPT
they are making toward creating a
centralized military Government. In
the five years OF peace following the
war the Radical Administrations have
expended 81, 200, 600 J12 for ordinary
purposes alone, bein within $780,
0O0. 600 of the aggr ta amount spent

peace during the seventy years pre-
ceding June 30, 1861; not includ-
ing in either case the sum paid on
the principal or interest of the pub
lie debt. II is triding with the intel
ligence Of the people for the Radical
leaders to pretend that this vast
sum has been honestly expended.
Hundreds OF millions have been
WANTONLY sQUANDERED.
The expenditures OF the Government
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
were only So, 600, 600, while Tor
precisely the same purposes civil
list, army, navy, pensions and In
,000, 900 we're expended dU-
ring the fiscal yeaB ending June 80,
1870. No indignation can be too stern
and no scOrn too severe for the asser-
tiOns by INSCRIPTIONS Radical leaders
that the great Democratic and Con-
servatiye party Of the Union has, or
can have, sympathy with the
DISORDERS Or VIOLENCE
in any part Of the country, or in the
deprivation of any man of his rights
under the Constitution. It is to pro-
tect and perpetuate the rights which
every freeman clerishes, to revive in
all hearts the feeling Of friend
ship, affection and harmony, which
are the best guarantees OF law
and order, and to throw around the
humblest citizen, Wherever he may
be, these protecting safeguards Of per
sOnal safety, which the fundamental
laws of the land assure. That we in
woke the aid of all good men in the
work of peace and reconciliation. We
invite their
GENEROUS co OPERATION,
irrespective Of ali former differences
of opinion, 80 that the harsh voice Of
discOrd may be relieved, and that
new and dangerous sectional agitation
may be checked; that burdens OF tax
alton, direct or indirect, may be re-
duced to the lowest point consistent
with COED faith to every last National
application, and with a strictly eco
nomical administration Of the Gov
ernment, and that States may be re-
stored in their integrity, and true re-
latiOns to our Federal UuiOn.
Here follow the signatures of all the
Democratic Senators. and most Of the
Representatives.
