This can mean no less than rebel

Democratic fellow citizens might do
we'll not to overlook. 1t will be
found in section 1912 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, AS feb
lows:
Whenever the United States
are in imminent danger of
rebellion against the authority OF the
Government of the United States, it
shall he lawful for the President To
call forth such number of the militia
Of the State or States most convenient

action, as he may deea, necessary

and to issue his orders for that pur-
pose to such officers of the militia as
he may think proper.
Democracy will also do well to rec
ollect who is President. They
haven't a Buchanan to deal with this
time. And more, they will not find
the blacks of the South their lawful
and plant slaves. The Southern
leaders appreciate these facts in some
measure, and are hence much more
mild than their Northern allies.

appointing sufficient number of adj
