United states Army and leading citizens arrested
on trumpedup charges, made by irresponsible tools of
the radical party Tor the purpose Of intmidatng the
majority. notwithstanding this our people, knowing
that their continued existence in this State depends
upon upon their driving the government of plum
ernment and exorbtant taxation imposed ignorant
and corrupt legislators who had interest the State,

make this appeal In advance OF the final consum-
nation OF great wrong about being perpetrat ted

ing, for party purposes. that one set of men
should be substituted for another as pub lie
officials.
