sacrilege ought to be damned for
ever IN the estimation Of the public.
Grant was the ready tool, in
the hands of an unscrupuIous and

/ sion Of the South, and in p~erpetuating
I old animosities. Greeley was always a
man Of peaceful Experimentation

Grant to make Lee his Secretary Of
War. He told johnson TO call Lee to
/ ana IN solving the problem Of the
seeded states, "and." said the philOsO-
pher, "whatever he advises, do. The
people Of the South will follow and do
his bidding" Had he followed this
cOn~ciliatOry course, how would the his
tory Of the past years have been? With
Grant in the Presidential chair, and Lee
holding the sword of the nation, stand

would have rallied around him the
great Intellects Of the South, and would
have consolidated the whole country, .
u wiped out every cause OF ill-feeling
and complaint. Instead Of doing this,
he has filed his cabinet with men IN
unknown to any but himself. AS a sPeci-
men Of the quality of that cabinet, he
referred to Boutwell, and his doings in
North Carolina, facts which are already
known to our readers. He said he would

SAID, 70 tear this Infamous and corrupt
ring rom power, a ring that has de-
graded the nation and ruled with the
sword and the bayOnet instead of the
civil power. Another objection I have
to Grant is, that he has supplied blood
and bone to those c-arpetbaggers. He is
their soul, their life, their hope. With
out him they cease to be. Those carpet
6aggers who took q the voting power
rom ninety thousand Tennesseans, and
they, by thus DISTINGUISHING whites
and e~nfranchising blacks, seized upon
the governments Of the PROSTATE
Southern States, and robbed them with
out scrupIei IN some cases making the

when they got hold of the state govern

Congress OF the United States as a

Greeley; Greeley has denounced him

Colonel Haynes then paused a minute
and said in a solemn voice: 81 Will now
allude to a matter which is partly private
to myself-a matter between me and
Colonel Kellar. In order that l NAV
not be misunderstood nor misrepre- ;
scented, l have taken the trouble to write

Colonel Haynes: Z
