Dosimber 1111 1 75 " 2 50 1 LO " 250 25 " 100 ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL MEN OF TOE SOUTH TO VIER FEL OW CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES The • representatives of eight. millions of American citizens appeal for protection and justice to their friends and brothers in the States that have been spared the cruelties of rebellion and the direct horrcirs of civil war.. Here on the spot where freedom was proffer ed and pledged by the fathers of the Repub lic, we implore your help against, a reorganized oppression, whose sole object is to remit the control of our destinies to the contrivers of the rebellion after they have been vanquished in honorable battle—thus at once to punish us for our, devotion to our country,- and to intrench themselves in the official fortifications of the .Government. Others have related the thrilling story of our wrongs from reading and observation. We come before you as unchallenged witnesses, and speak from personal knowledge our sad experi ence. if you fail us, we are more utteily de serted and betrayed than if the contest of arms had been decided against us ; for in that case even victorious slavery would have found pro fit in the speedy pardon of those who had been among its bravest foes. , Unexpected perfidy in the highest place of the Government, ac !identally filled by one who adds cruelty to ingratitude, and forgives the guilty as he proscribes the innocent, has stimu lated the almost extinguished revenge of the beaten conspirators; and now the rebels, who offered to yield 'everything to save their own lives, 'aye seeking to consign us to bloody graves. Where we expected a benefactor we find a persecutor. Having le, , t our champion, we re turn to you, who can make:our Presidents and punish our traitors. Our last hope, under God, is, in the unity and firmness of the States that elected A bln:nlm Lincoln and defeated Jeff. Davis. The best statement of our'ease is the appall ing, yet unconscious confession of Andrew John son, who, iu savage hatred of his own record, proclaims his purpose to clothe four millions of traitors with the power to impoverish and de grade eight millions of loyal men. Our wrongs bear alike upon all races, and our tyrants, unchecked by you, will award the the same fate 'o white and black. We can remain as we are, only as inferiors and victims. We may fly from our homei; hut we shonld fear to trust our fate with those who, after, de nouncine and defeating treason, refused to right those who had bravely assisted them in the good work. Till we are wholly rescued there is neither peace for you nor prosperity for us. We cannot better claim at once our wrongs and our wants than by declaring that, since An drew Johnson affiliated with his early slander ers and our common enemies, his hand has been laid heavily upon every earnest loyalist of the South. History, the just judgement of the Present and the certain confirmation of the Fu ture„invite and command us to declare— That, after rejecting.his own remedies for re ' storinn , the Union, he has resorted to. tho wea pons of traitors to bruise and 'beat down patri ots. : That„after declaring that none hut the loyal should govern the reconstructed none-but he has practiced upon the maxim that none but trai tors shall ; rule. That, while in the North he has removed con scientous men from office and filled many of the vacancies with the sympathizers of f reason, in the South he has removed the proved and trust., ed patriot and selected the equally proved and convicted traitor. That, after brave men who had fought for the old flag, have been nominated for positions, their names have been recalled and avowed re bels substituted. That every original Unionist in the South who stands fast to Andrew Johnson's covenants from 1861 to 1865 has been ostracised. That he has corrupted the local courts brof tering premiums for defiance of the laws of Con ' gress and by openly discouinging the observ ance bf the oath against Treason. That, while refusing to punish one single con spicuous traitor, though thousands had earned the penalty of death, more than a thousand Uni on men have been murdered in cold blood since the surrender of Lee, and iu no case have their assassins been brought to judgement. That he has pardoned some of the worst of the rebel criminals, North and South, including some who have taken human life under circum stances of unparalleled atrocity. That, while denouncing and fettering the op erations of the Freedmen s Bureau, be, with a full knowledge' of the falsehood, has charged that the blaeltmen are lazy and rebellious, and has concealed the fact that more whites than blacks have been protected and fed by that no 7 ble organization; nud that, while declaring it was corruptly managed, and expensive to the Govettiment, 'he ,has 'connived at a system of thb‘usenf piddle patronage and public money wholly without parallel, save when the traitors bankrupted the treasury, and sought to disorganize and scatter the army and navy, only to make it more easy to capture and destroy the Government. That, while declaring against the injustice of leaving eleven. States unrepresented, he has re fused to authorize the liberal plan of Congress, simply , because it recognizes the .loyal majori ty, and refuses to perpetuate the traitor majori. ty. That in every State South of Mason and Dix. on's line,'his "policy" has wrought the most de plorable consequences, social, moral, and poli litical. • It has emboldened returned rebels to threat en civil war in Maryland, Missouri, West. Vir ginia and Tennessee, unless the patiiots who saved and sealed these States to the ld fin surrender before their arrogant demands. It has corrupted high State officials, elected by Union men, and sworn to enforce the laws against returned rebelsi and made them the mere instruments of the authors of the rebelli on. It has encourged a new alienation between the sectas, and by impeding emigration to the South, has erected formidable harriers against lice and friendly intercourse with our country men in the North and West.. • It has allowed the rebel soldiery to persecute the teachers of the colored schools, and to burn the churches in which the freedmen have wor shipped the living tied. That a system so barbarous should have cul minated iu the frightful riot at Memphis, and the still more appalling massacre at New Or cans, was as natural as that a bloody war hould flow from the teachings of John C. Cal houn and Jeff. Davis. Andrew Johnson is responsible for all these unspeakable crimes and cruelties. As he pro voked, so he justifies and applauds them. Sending his agents and emissaries into this refined and patriotic metropolis, to insist upon making his reckless policy a test upon a Chris tian people, he forgot that the protection extend ed to the 14th-of-August Convention in Phila delphia was not only denied to the free people of New Orleans, on the 30th of July, wheitthey assembled to discuss how best to protect them- Selves, but denied amidst the slaugther of hun dreds of innocent men. No page in the record of his recent outrages upon human. ustice and constitutional law is more revolting than that which convicts him of refusing to arrest the preparations for that sav age carnival,and not only of refusing to punish its authors, but of toiling to throw the guilty re sponsibility upon the unoffending and innocent freedmen. The infatuated tyrant that stood ready to crush 'his own people in Tennessee when they were struggling to maintain a government erect ed by himself against his and their traitor per secutors, was even more eager to illustrate his savage policy . by elothingwith the most despot ic power the impenitent and revengeful rebels of New Orleans, Notwithstanding this lleirtless desertion and ernol pvlllloooll by • Androw•Johnson, in the MD States of Missouri ' Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, democratic principles—principles which the fathers of the Republic deigned for all America—are now making:determined battle with the oligarchical enemies of free constitutional government; ant: by the blessing of God these States will soon lunge themselves in line with the former free States, and illustrate the wisdom and benefi cence of the great charter of American liberty by their increasing population, wealth and pros perity. In the remaining ten States—the seeds of oligarchy planted in the Constitution by its slit very.foatures have grown to be a monster pow er. Recognition thus wrung from the reluctant framers of that great instrument, enabled these States to intrench themselves behind the per verted doctrine of States rights, and sheltered by a claim of constitutional °blip tion to main tain slavery in the States, to present to the American Government the alternatives of olig• archy with slavery, or democratic republican governments without slavery. A forbearing Government, bowing to a sup posed constitutional - behest, acquiesced in the former alternative. The hand of the Government was stayed for eighty years. Thu principles of constitutional liberty languished for want of governmental support. Oligarchy matured its power with subtle design. Its history, for eighty years, is replete with unparalleled "injuries and usurpa tions." It developed only the agricultural lo calities—geographically distinct from the free labor localities—with African slaves. •It held four millions of human, beings as chattels, feu made them the basis of unjust representative power for themselves in Federal and State Gcv erninents to maintain their enslavement. It excluded millions of free white laborers from the richest agricultural lands of the world. Forced them to remain, iimetive and unpro ductive, on the mineral, manufacturing mid lumber localities—comprising two-thirds of the whole South, in square miles, and real undevel oped wealth—simply because these localities were agriculturally too poor for slave labor ; condemned them to agriculture, on this unag ricultural territory, and consigned them to un willing ignorance and poverty—by denying cap ital and strangling enterprise. It repelled the capital, energy, will, and skill of the free States, from the free-labor lo calities, by unmitigated intolerance and pro scription—thus guarding the approaches to their slave domain against. democracy. Statute books groaned under despotic laws against unlawful and insurrectionary assem blies ; aimed at the constitutional guarantees of the right. to peaceably rassemble and petition for redress of grievances. It proscribed true democratic literature as in cendiary. It nullified the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and the press. It deprived citizens of the other States of the "privileges and immunities" in these States, an injury and usurpation alike unjustto North ern citizens, and destructive of tht; best inter ests of the States themselves. • Aldrined nt the progress of democracy, in the face of every discouragement, at last it sought immunity by secession and war. The heart sickens with the contemplaCou of the four years that followed—forced loans, im pressments, conscription, with blood hounds and bayonet, murder of aged Union men, who had long laid aside the implements of labor, but had been summoned anew to the field by the conscription oft heir sons, to support chil dren and grandchildren, reduced from comfort to the verge of starvation ; the slaughter of ble youths, types of -physical manhood, forced into an unholy war against thoSe with whom they were identified by every interest ; long months of incarceration in rebel bastiles, ban ishment from homes and hearthstones, are but a partinl recital of the long catalogue of hor rors. But true Democracy, North and South com bined, defeated them. They lost. What did they loose ? The cause of oligarchy ? They lost African slavery by name only. As soon as the tocsin of war ceased—as soon' as the clang of arms were hushed—they raise the cry of "immediate admission," and with that watch word seek to organize, under new forms, a con test to perpetuate their unbridled sway. They rehabilitate their sweeping control of all local and State organizations. The Federal Execu tive, easily seduced, yields a willing obedience to his old masters. Aided by his unscrupulous disregard of Constitution and laws, by his mer ciless proscription of true democratic opin ion, and by all his appliances of despotie'power, they now defiantly enter the lists in the loyal North, and seek to ring from freemen an en dorsement of their wicked designs. Every soul agency is at work to accomplish this result. Falsely professing to assent to the abolition of slavery, they are contriving to con tinue its detestable power, Icy legislative acts, against pretended vagrants. They know that any form of servitude will answer their unholy purpose. They pronounce the four years' war a brilliant sword-scene in the great revolution ary drama. Proscriptive public Sentiment holds high carnival, and, profiting by the ex ample of the Presidential pilgrim, breathes out threatenings and slaughter against loyalty, ig nores and denounces 'till legal restraints, and assails with the tongue of malignant slander the constitutionally-chosen repiesentatives of the people. To still the voice oflibertydangernns alone to tyrants—midnight conflagrations, assassina tions and murders in open day, are called to their aid. A reign of terror through all these ten. States makes loyalty .stand silent in the presence of treason, or whisper in bated breath. Strong men hesitate openly to speak for liberty, and decline to attend a convention at Philadel phia for fear of destruction. . But all Southern men are not yet awed into submission totreason ; and we have assembled from all these States, determined that liberty, when endangered, shallffind a mouth-piece, and that "the Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." We are here to consult together how best to provide for a Union of truly Re publican States to seek to resume thirty-six stars on the old flag. We are here to see that ten of these stars are nut opaque bodies paling their ineffectual fires beneath the gloom am' darkness of oligarchical tyranny and oppresekm We wish them to be brilliant stars , emblems of constitutional liberty; glittering orbs, spark ling wirla the life-giving principles ef the model Republic I—fitting adornments of the glorious banner of freedom I Our last and only hope is in the unity and fortitude of the loyal people of America, in the support and vindication of the Thirty-ninth Congress, and in the election of a controlling Union majority in the succeeding or Fortitith Congress. .While the new article amending the Nation al Constitution offers the most liberal condi tions to the authors of the rebellion, and does net come up to the Measure of our expectations, we believe its ratification would be the com mencement of a complete and lasting protec tion to all our people ; and therefore we accept it- as the best present remedy, and app.%al to our brothers and friends in the North and the West to make it their watchword in the coming elections. The tokens are auspicious of overwhelming success. However little the verdict of the bal lot-box may affect the reckless mien in the Presidential chair, we cannot doubt 'that the traitors and sympathizers lie has encouraged will recognize that verdict as the surest indica tion (lint the mighty power which crushed the rebellion is still alive, and that those who at tempt to oppose or defy it will do so at the risk of their own destruction. Our confidence in the-overruling providence of God prompts the prediction and intensities the belief that when this warning is sufficiently taught to these misguided and reckless men, the liberated millions of the rebellious - South will be proffered those rights and franchises which may be necessary to adjust and settle this tniahty controversy in the spirit of the most enlarged and Christian philanthropy' (NUMBII,It 42 Gpo.

It would be well for hint' to know that he is very fast making himself personally odious.— The loyal people of the Northern States, those who.ttood by the Union when it was attacked by rebels, see, with a dissatisfaclion and alarm which is no longer concealed, that the Presi dent whom their votes elevated to his position, surrounds himself, by his own choice apparent , " ly, with. men•like Tom Florence, Garret•DaviN ----- Saulsbury, and others who, like these during the war, never concealed their sympathies with treason.

'They have seen him but lately„in Louisiana violate his own often declared policy in regar d . to the Southern States, and violate it, in favor: of boastful rebels and to the injury of men who were known as Union men, and therask whtil if the law is to be stretched, if what the Presi dent asserts to be the true policy is to be vie. . lated, why is it only in the interest of men who . are notorious as haters of liberty and Union ?--.• They have seen him pardon many of the most' Ilagrat: t traitors—such men as Mayor Mdnroe,- men of a temper which makes them bad zens, and whom it would certainly be more ju• dicions to leave Unpardmed. • Finally;they arc alarmed ,and hat at the in decorous language which Mr. Johnson uses to , ward Congress ; they are disgusted to hair hint on every occasion denouncing Congress, among :.i whose members are many men of spotless hen,- , „ or and long tried loyalty, as traitors, rebeli,: , usurpers, 'hanging on the skirts of the Goverti4-' " meat!
