■TUB APPKAI. OF TIIKI.OVAL MEN OF TilF.
SOUTH TO THEIR FELLOW-CITIZENS OF
THE UNITED STATES :
The representatives of fight millioi s
of American citizens appeal for protec
tion and justice to »iloir friends and
brothers in the State" that have been
spared the cruelties of the rebellion and
tho direct horrois <4 civil war. Hereon
the spot where freedom was proffered and
pledged by the fathers of the republic,
wo implore your help against an organ
ized oppression, \yhose sole object is to
remit the control of c.ur destinies to the
eonnivers of the rebellion, alter they have
leen vanquished in honorable battle thu
at once to punish us for our devotion to
our country and to entrench themselves
in the official fortifications of the gov
ernment. Others have related the thril
ling story of our wrongs from reading
and observation. We come before yoli
as unchallenged witnesses and sj cak f.oui
personal knowledge our sad experience.
If you fail us we arc more utterly dc
f cited and betrayed than il the contest
been decided us, ior iti th.it
case, even though victorious, slavery
woiild have found profit in the speed)
pardon of those who hail been among its
Vravcst force; unexpected perfidy in the
highest place, accidentally tilled by one
who adds cruelty to injustice and for
gives the guilty as he proscribes the in
nocent. has stimulated the almost extin
guished revenge of the beaten conspira
tors. anil now tho rebels, who offered to
\ eld everything to save their ovjir lives,
are seeking to consign us to bloody graves.
Where we expected to find a bcncf o toi
we find a pcisecutor Having lost our
champion, we return to you, who can in
vokc Presidents and punish traitors. Our
list hope, under (Jod, is the unity and
firmness of the States that elected Abra
ham Lincoln and defeated Jefferson Pa |
, ts. Thebes' statement of our case is. j
the appalling, yet unconscious, coti'es
sion of Andrew Johnson, wherein, in
savage hatred of his own record, he pro
claims his purpose to clothe four mill
lions of traitors with the power to im
poverish and degrade eight millions of
loyal men. Our wrongs bear alike on all
races, and our tyrants unchecked bv yon
will award the saa'ic fate to white and
black. We can remain only as wc arc.
inferiors and victims. We may fly from
our holies, but wc should fear to trust our
fate with those who. after denouncing
and defeating treason, refused to right
thogq who have bravely assisted them in
the good work. Till wo urc wholly res
cucd there is neither peace for you nor
prosperity for us. We cannot better ue
fine at once our wrongs and our v,ant<
than by declaring that since Andrew
Johnson affiliated with his early slander
ers and our constant enemies, bis Jiands
hps been laid heavily upon every Qarncst
loyalists in the South. History, the just
judgment of the present, and the stern
confirmation of the future, invites," com
mands us to declare that after rejocting
his own remedies for restoring the I nion
he has res rtcd to the jyfir.pons of traitors
to bruise and beat patriots; that
after declaring t|,at pone but the loyal
should govern the South, he has praetie*
cd upon the maxim that none but traitor*
shall rule ; that while in the north he has
removed conscientious men from office
and filled many of the vacancies with the
sympathisers of treason ; in the South
he 1»*» removed proved and trmted patri
ots and selected the equally proved aud
convicted traitors; that after brave men.
who hud fought for the old flag, have
been noniiuated for positions, their names
have been recalled and avowed rebels
substituted; that every origiual Unionist
.iu the South who stood fast to Andrew-
Johnson's covenants, from 1861 to 1866.
has been ostracised; that he has corrupt
ed the local courts by offering premiums (
tor :tiie deiianci} af th>? lass ot' Congress
and' Uy discouraging the observance of
the oath against treason; that while re
fusing to punish one single eouspiratoiN
though thousands had earned the penalty
of death ; more, that a thousand of de
voted Union citizens huvo been murder
ed in eold blood siuce the surrender of
Lee, and in no case have theip assassins
beon brought to that he has
pardoned some of the worst of rebel
criminals, North and South, including
some who have taken human life uuder
circumstances of unparalleled atrocity;
AMERICAN CITIZEN.
that while denouncing; and libeling »he
operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, he,
with fall knowledge of the falsehood, has
charged tha,t the black man is lazy and
rebellious, and thus concealed the fact
that more whites than blacks, liave been
I protected and fed by that noble orgnniaa
i lion, and that while declaring that it was
| corruptly managed and expensive to the
I Government, li<? has connived at a s3-s
--' tern of profligacy in the use of the pub
lic patronage and public money, wholly
without parallel save when the traitois
bankrupted the treasury an 1 sought to
disorganize and scatter (he army and the
navy only to make it more easy to cap
ture the government ; that while declar
ing against the injustice of leaving elev
en States unrepresented, he has refused to
authorize the liberal plan of Congress,
simply because it recognizes the loyal
majority and refuses to perpetuate the
Unitor minority. That in every State
south of Mason and 1 (ixson's line his
policy has wrought the most deplorable
••onscquences, social, moral and political.
St has cmboldcnc-l returned rebels to
threaten civil war in Maryland, Missouri, 1
West Virginia and Tennessee. The pat
tints who saved and soiled these ijtat<j.-,to
the old fl ig, surrendered before their ar
ro/aut demand. It has corrupted high
State i fficials elected by Union men, and
swore to en.'hrce the laws against retyrn-
I rebels, MI I made them tl\E mere in
s rumentsof the authors of the rebellion..
It has encouraged a new alienation be
tween the sections and by impeding emi
gration to the South, has erected a form
idablc barrier against free and friendly
into.ests in the North an 1 West. It has
allowed the rebel soldiery t i
the teachings of the colored schools, and
to burn the cburclTes in which the freed
nien have worshipped the Living (rod.—
That a system so barbarous should have
culminated in the frightful riot at Mcui
p| ian l the sti 11 mote appalling massa
cre of New Orleans, was as natural as
that a bloody war should flow from the
teachings of John C. t'ulboun and Jeff.

Andrew Johnson is responsible for all
these incren-'ii»jr cruelties, aril us unpro
voked so lie justifies Mini applauds litem,
sending his agents ami cmuiissaries into
the refined and patriotic metropolis to in
sist upon milking his reckless policy a test |
upon a Christian pcoplr. lie forgot that
the protection extended to the 11th of
Augmt convention in Philadelphia w;.s
nit only denied to the firee people of New
Orleans on the 89th of July, when they
assembled to d ; ;cuss ljow best to protect
themselves, but denied amidst tho slaugh
ter cf hundreds of innocent men. No
page in the record of his recent outrages
upon human justice and constitutional
law, is more revolting thart that which
convicts him of refusing to arrest the
preparations for thatr-nvage carnival, and
not only of refusing to punish its authors,
but of toiling to throw the guilty respon
sibility upon unoffending and innocent
freedmcn. The infatuated tyrant that
stood ready to eru-li his own people in
Tennessee, when they were struggling to
maintain a government erected by him
self, against his and other traitors' perse
cutions, was even lore eager to illustrate
his savage policy, by clotljiqg with the
most despot ie power the rioters of New
Orleans. No witi| »auding this heartless
desertion and cruel persecution by Andy
Johnson, the States if Missouri, Ken

cratie Republican pr ncjples which Hie
fathers of the republic designed for all
Americans, arc now making determined
battle with the enemies of free constitu
tional government, and, by the blessing
of Clod, these Stafes will soon raiiue
themselves it) linfi with the former free
States, and illustrate the wisdom and ben
eficence of the great charter of Ameri
can Liberty, by their increasing popula
tion, wealth and prosperity in the remain
ing ten States.
The seeds' of oligarchy planted in the
C onstitution by the slavery feature have
grown to monstrous power, whose re?og
uit ion thus wrung from the relucting
framcrs of thut great instrument, enabled
these States to entrench themselves be
hind th; doctrine of States Kights, and
sheltered by a claim of consti'utional ob
ligations, to maintain slavery in the
States, to pre»ont to the Amerioan gov
ernment the alternations' of oligarchy
with slavery or democratic republican
governments without slavery. The gov
ernment, owing to a supposed consutu
tiouul behest, jcquiosced in tho former al
,tc*uativo. The hand of the Government
was stayed. The principles of constitu
tional liberty luuguished for waut of gov
ernment support. Oligarchy matured Us
power, with suble design. Its history
for eighty years is replete with unparal
leled Injuries and usurpation. Jt 4ev.el

oned only the agricultural localities,
Georgia, &e., distinguished from tho free
labor localities and in than one-third
of the whole width, African slavery. It
hold four millions of human beings as
chattels, yet made this the basis of un
just power for themselves iu federal and
| State government. To maintain their
' enslavement, it excluded millions tf free
white laborers from the richest agricul
tural 'ands of the world, forced them to
remain inactive and unproductive on the
mineral manufacture and lumber locali
ties comprising two-thirds of the whole
States iu square miles and real undevel
oped wealth, simply because the localities
were agriculturally too p >or for slave la
bor, aud condemned theui to agriculture
iu this agricultural territory, and consign
ed theui to unwilling ignorance and pov
erty. By denying capital and struggling
enterprise, it repelled the capital, energy
and will of the free States from the free
labor* localities by unmitigated intoler
ance and peisecution, thus guarding the
approaches to the slave domain against
democracy. Statute books groaned un-.
der despotic laws against unlawful assem
blies, aimed at constitutional guaran
tees of the right to peaceably assemble
aud petition for a redress of grievances.
It proscribed democratic literature as in
cendiary. It nullified constitutional guar
antees of freedom, and free speech, and
a free pre s. It do,-rived citizens of the
other States of their privileges and im
munities in the States, an injury and
usurpation alike unjust to Northern citi
z its and destructive of (he best interests
of the States themselves, affirmed at tho
progress of Democracy in the face of ev
ery discouragement* At la-tit sought
immunity ly secession and war. The
lie irt sick ns with the contemplation of
the four years that followed. Forced
towns, impressments, conscriptions, with
bloody hands and bayonet.?.. The num
ber of aged men who had long laid aside
the implements of labor, but who had
been summojicd anew to tho field by the
conscriptions of their i«.s to support
their children and grandchildren', reduced
from comfort to the verge of starvation
the slaughter of noble youths, tics of
physical manhood, forced into an unholy
war against those with whom they were
identified by every interest, 1 MIL; months
of incarceration in rebel basti'cs, banish
ment from homes and hearthstonrts are
but a partial recital of the ' tig .•atalr.gufc
of horroij. Hut lituioutvits, North ind
South combined, defeated them. They
lost. What did they lo?c ? The cause
of oligarchy. They lost African slavery
by name oniy. Soon as the tocsin of WJI
Ceased, soou as the clang of arms was
hushed, they raise the cry of immediate
admission, and with that watchword seek
ioorganiEC under new forms, a rontest to
perpetuate their unbridled sway. They
reha'oitatc with them sweeping control of
all local and State organizations. Tho
Federal Executive, being easily reduced,
yields a willing obedience to his old mas
ters, aided by his tenser,, disregard
of the Constitution anil laws, by his mer
ciless proscription of tmo Democratic
opinion, and by all his appliance of des
potic power.
They now defiantly enter lists in
the loyal North, and seek to wring {from
Irec men, an indorsement of their wieked
designs. Kvery foul agency is at work
to accomplish this rc-ult. Falsely pro
fessing to assist to thcabojition of Slaver
very, they are controverting to continue
itg detestable power by legislative acts
against pretended vagrants. They know
that pretended servitude vill answer their
uuhoiy purpose. They pronounce the
four year's war a brilliant sword scone
in the great revolutionary drama. I'ro
seriptivo public sentiment holds
high carnival, and profiting by the ex
ample of the Presidential platform be
comes but threatening of slaughter against
loyalty and negroes, aud denounces all
legal restraints, and assailj lyijjj t}ip
tongue of malignant slander the consti
tutionally chosen representatives of the
people.
To still the voice of liberty, dangerous
alone to tyrants, midnight conflagrations,
assassinations and murders in open day
are called to their aid. A reign of ter
ror through all these ten States mikes
loyalty stand silent in the presence of
treason, or whispers in bated breath.—
Strong men hesitate openly to speak for
liberty, auij decline to aitend a Conven
tion at Philadelphia for fear of destruc
tion.
but "all Southern men are uu, yet awed
into subuiig-ion to treason, and wo have
assembled from all these States detcrmi'?-
that liberty, wheu eudangcred, shall find
\ a mouth piece aud that the Government
j of the peopl?, by the people, for the peo
ple, shall not perish from tho earth.—
We arc here to consult together how best
to provide for a Union of truly Republi
*•, i '
can States to seek to resume thirty-six
stars on the ohl flag. We are here to
see that ten of these stars ; these opaque
bodies paling their ineffectual fires be
neath the gloom of darkness, of oligar
chial tyranny und opprqfsiou. We wish
them to be brilliant stars, emblems of
. constitu'ipnal liberty, glittering orbs
sparkling with the iil'e giving principles
of the model republic, fitting ornaments
of the glorious banner of freedom. Our
last and only hope is in the fortitude of
the loyal people of America, in the sup
port and vindication of the Thirty ninth
Congress, and the election of a controll
ing Union majority in the succeeding or
Fortieth C..,ngress. While the new ar
ticle amending tho National Constitu
tion offers the most liberal*conditioas. to
tho authors of tho rebellion, and does not
come up to tho measure of -our expecta
tions, wo believe its ratification woald be
the commencement of a complete and
lasting protection to all our people, and
therefore we accept it as the best pres
ent remody, and appeal to our brothers
and friends in the north and tho west to
nialnv, it their watchword in the coming
elections. The tokeus are auspicious of
oxerwhelmins} success.
However little the verdict of tho bil
lot box luay affect tho reckless tnan in
tho Presidential chair, we cannot doubt
that the traitors and sympathizers will
recognize that verdict as the surest indi
cation that tho mighty powers which
crushed the rebellion is still alive, and
that those who attempted to oppose or
defy it will do so at the risk of their own
destruction. Our confidence in the over
ruling providence of God, prompts the
prediction and intensifies the belief that
when this warning is sufficiently taught
to those misguided reckless men, the lib
erated millions of tho rebellious South
will bo proffered those rights and fran
chise which may be necessarily to ad
just and settle this mighty controversy
iu the spirit of (lie most enlarged christ
ian philanthropy.
Mr. Hamilton, of Te.vis, from the
Committee on Resolutions, reported the
following :
1. Rctohed, That the lcjyal people of
the South cordially unite with the loyal
people of tho North, in thanksgiving to
the Almighty, through whose will a re

its cruelty, ail 1 its criminality, has been
over-ruled to the vindication oi the su
premacy of the Federal Constitution over
every State and Territory of the Rcpub-
2. ICr.-flint, That we demand now, as
wc have demanded at all times since the
cessation of hostilities, the restoration of
tho States in which we 'ive, to their old
relations with the Union, the simplicst
conditions consistent with tho protection
qf uur lives, property and political rights,
now iu ieopardy from the unquenchod
enmity of the rebels lately in arms !
Jlrsolved, That tho unhappy poli
cy of Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, is, in its effect upon the
103-.nl people of the South, unjust and
oppressive, and accenting ly however ar
dently we nuy desire to see our respec
tive States once maro represented in
the Congress of the nation, wo would
deplore restoration on the inade
quate conditions* prescribed by the Pres
ident, as tending ir>t to abate but only to
magnify the perils an 1 sorrows of our
condition.
4. /.'■ <' deed, That the welcome we re
eeived from the loyal citizens of IMiila-"
delphia under the roof of the time hon
ored hall in hieli the Declaration of In
dependence was aiopted, inspires us with
the animating hopo that the principles of
ust and equal government which were
made the foundation of the Republic at
its origin shall become the corner, alone
o!'tho Constitution.
0. R> solved, That with pride iu the
patriotism in the Congress ; with grati
tude for the fearless and persistent sup
port they have given to I lie cause of loy
alty. an I their efforts to restore all tho
States to their former conditions as States
in the American Union, wo will stand
by tho position taken by them and use
all moms consistent with a pacific and
lawful course to secure the ratification of
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States as proposed by Congress
at its recent session, and regret that the
congress, in it* wisdem, did not provide
by law for tho greater security of tho
loyai people in the States not admitted
to representation.
G. MM That the political power
of the Government of the I nited Staler
in the administration of public affairs is,
by its Constitution, confided to tho pop
ular or law making department of the
Government.
7. Resolved, That the political status
of the States lately in rebellion to the
, J- J
Uuited States Government, and the rights
of the people of such SRitcs are political
questions, and a»e therefore clearly with
in the control of Congress to the exclu
sion of and independent of any and cv-.
cry other department of the Goycru
inent.
8. Ijesotceit, That there is no right,
political, legal or constitutional, in any-
State to secede cr withdraw from the
Union, but they may by wicked aud uu
authorized resolutions and force sever
the relations they have sustained to the
Union, and when they do, they assume
the attude of public enemies at war with
United States ; they subject themselves
to all tho rules and principles of interna
tional law, aud the laws of war applica
ble to belligerents, according to modern
usage*
0. Rseohcd , That we an unalterably
iu favbr of the union of the States, and
earnestly desire the legal and speedy res
toration of all the States to their proper
places in the' Union, aud the establish
ment in each of them of influences of
patriotism and justice, by which the
whole nation shallTbo combined to car
ry forward triumphantly tho principles
of freedom and progress until all men, of
all'races, shall everywhere beneath the
flag "112 our country have accorded to
them freely all that their virtues, indus-"
try, intelligence and energy may entitle
them to attain.
10. Resulted, That organizations in un
represented States, assuming to be State
Governments, not having been legally
established, aro not legitimate govern
ments until recognized by Congress.
11. Rcttohrd, That we cherish with
tender hearts the memory of the virtuous
patriotism, sublime faith, upright ( uiist
ain and generous nature ot tho martyr
President —Abraham Lincoln.
12. Rmolt:ed, That we are iu favor of
uuiversal liberty tho word over, and feel
the deepest sympathy with the oppressed
people of all countries, in their struggles
for ficcdox und thq inherent right of all
men to decide aud control for themselves
the character of tho government under
which they live.
I.'!. lirsnlnil, That the lasting grati
tude of the nation is due to the men who
bore the battle, and in having covered
themselves with imperishable honor have
sh( wed to the world its hope ol free
government, aud relying on the invinci
ble soldiers and sailors who made the
grand army and navy of the republic to
be true to the principles for which they
fought wo pledge them that, we will stand
by them iu maintaining the honor due
the soldiers of the nation, and iu secur
ing the fruits of their victories.
11. Resolved, That remembering with
profound gratitude and love tho precepts
of Washington, we shouldjaccustoui our
selves to consider the Union as the pri
mary object of patriotic desire which has
heretofore sustained us with great power
in our love of the Union, when many of
our neighbors iu the South were waging
war for its destruction. Our deep and
abiding love for the memory of the Fath
er of his country and for Union, is ijioje
decpty engraven upon our hearts than
ever.
The loyal men of Alabama dcclaio
that their fate depends upon tho success
of the Union party at the Fall elections.
They are proscribed by the Rebels, aud
a recent meeting called at Tuscaloosa to
elect to the Philadelphia Con
vention failed because tho people wero
afraid to attend. Secret meetings have
been held, and delegates wero sent, but
it is infamous that Mr. Johnson should
declaro order restored throughout the
South when x Union men must hide
they did during the Rebellion. In Ken
tucky, also, Union men have been ordered
to quit tho State within three days, or
forfeit their lives.

Arrived on the ground, the procession
formed in the vicinity of tho base of the
monument. Tho grave was beautifully
decorated. The scene of the ceremony
was on the tlioro of Lake- Michigan,
within ten feet of the water. The stands
completely surrounded the touib. Tho
audience was mussed in solid ranks. The
entire spectacle presented an amphithea
tre, of which the inclined sims formed
the si los, and the open l ike the back
ground.
Tho entry of tho presidential proces
sion was the ffrat impressive point of the
proceedings. A band of music preceded
the cortege. A fine battalion of Knight
Templars succeeded, and the representa
tives of the Musoqiu fraternity followed.
The latter ascended tho stage erected im
mediately around the base of the monu
umeut, whero they prepared to perforin
the appointed ceremonies.
At this point, just before the appear
ance of the President, tho vast crowd
broke the ropes, placed around the reserv
ed grouuds, and rushed to nearly all parts
of the field. Order was fully restored
by the exertions of the Templars and
Ellsworth's Zouaves. A light shower
also fell, but finished s.ion enough to avoid
a of the scene. The Presi
dent a<id party, with heads uncovered,
entered the grounds. Mr. Seward had
the President's arm; Mr. Wells aud
Randall walked together. Grant accom
panied Romero.
The first in the course of the proceed
ings was a brief but appropriate address
by Major Rico.
The Masonio Grind Master of Illiuois
J. It. Goehring. appeared iu front of the
stand und delivered a clionf,touching and
eloquent address, in which he paid a
glowing tribute to the memory of the il
lustrious deceased, both as a friend aud
Mason, ami referred to the fact that a
statute will be placed ou the moaumoDt
visible to this inland sea. The Grand
Chaplain then invoked the Divine bles
sing ou the ceremony, when the ceremo
ny of laying the corner stoue tpok, place,
according to Masonio ilitual.
After blessing with bread, wine and
oil, the stone was lowered in its place,
while minute guns were tired and the
hand played a dirge. The Grand Mas
ter congratulated tho»c present on the
fact that there was present uo lfcss a per
sonage than ihc President oi the L kited
States, with tho distinguished heads of
Departments, and who was, as ho had
heard and believed, a member of the Ma
