Nor should wa be willing to trust with power the men of tbe North who gave ' "aid and comfort" to those who fired on tho Flog of the Union, and did all they could to destroy the best' Government on the face of the earth. It ia impudent ia Southern Traitors and in their Northera syra- pat'aisera to ask so soon for the trust of political power. Let them waif for long years till the Country is fully satisfied ' that their - repen tance for the loss of vast treasures and seas of blood in their dreadful attempt to destroy the Union, is aiu cora, and then ask buinbly to ba re stored to places of honor and trust ia the Government of tbe Coaatry.
