honest and patriotic policy of the present

Men Of the South, y word with you. You
are beaten agan. Give it up now. The
ideas Of Inc Rebellion will never triumph
in this country. You can never run this
Government on the principles for which
Lee and Jackson fought. You will never
again have rs good a chance 10 win us you
had this time. Why knock your heads
against the wall of Northern sentiment?
Half million of men did not die for
nothing during those four terrible years
which you remember 80 we'll. Thig is II

the law. Why not manfully recognize
th"sc two great facts which yesterdays

notion that it s duty to your "section"A Ato
stand by the party which sympathized with
the South during the war. No section
has any claims upon you. Sectionulism is
dead. The Union, one and indivisibIo,
alone has right to your allegiance. Open
your minds to the lesson of the hour. Let
bysoncs be bygoncs, and resolve in future
there shall be tolerance and fair play in

citizen to voto as he pleases and have his
vote honestly counted shall be protected.
Ono thing more. Don't you think you
