It is time our people were taught

to know that treason ia a crime, not a

mere political difference, not a mere

contest between two parties, in which

one succeeded and the other has simply

failed. They must know it is treason ;

for if they had succeeded the life of the

nation would been reft from it the

Lfuion would have been deroyed.

Surely the constitution sufficiently de­

ques treason. It consist in levying war

ngainst the United States, and in giving

their enemies aid and comfort. With

this definition it requires the exercise

of no great acumen to ascertain who

are traitors. It requires no great per­

ception to tell who have levied war

against the United States : nor does it

require any great stretch of reasoning­

toa?certain who has given aid to the

enemies of the United Slates: and

when the Government of the United

States does ascertain who are the cons­

cious and intelligent traitors, the penally

and the forfeit should be paid. I know

how to appreciate the condition of being

driven from one's home. I can sym­

pathize with him whose all has been

taken from him .vilb. him who lias

been denied the place that gave his

children birth.
