Version 0/ justice to criminals and consequent insecurity of life and property, as some- times necessitates, and therefore morally justifies resort to lynching- imposing also a needless taxation on both property and income, wbile creating a fearfully large class of non-producing ofl3ce seekers, who, after desert ing creative labor, add nothing to the taxable wealth of the community, thus burdening property and in- come doubly-honoring also with official posts and large compensations (for nomina...lly filling ofiices, the duties of which are performed by others), men of note, riously Intemperate, depraved and brutal habits-thug weakening that confidence and respect of the people for the Government and its executors which renders obedience difficult, and without which affection and devotion even to our very form of government cannot survive a century, much less through the ages of his- tory to come. But for the measures of preparation and healing in particular: First— When a spirit of thorough submission is re- begotten on the part of the Southern whites to the principles of self government as embodied in our national institutions, such a submission as Andrew Johnson transmuted into one of arrogance and dicta- [6] tion, for which he is (far more than his present masters are) responsible, rendering the second subjugation of the South to the nation as essential as the first, in order to the national safety and security of the people — when those who at the South have usurped and solely exercised the inherent political rights of all the people there — when they, restored to reason, shall grow to feel it a privilege, far more than right, to gain, instead of former domination and instead of present national Bway, present immunity from death and confiscation of all property for treason, coupled with the hope of a future equal voice in the Government with their former slaves (by their own madness converted into their fellow citizens), and no more than an equal voice also with each of the other inhabitants of the land, then will the time have come for us to be so tender and regardful of their Americanhood as, in granting con- cessions, to forbear all allusion even to the fact that once they were subjugated legal criminals, and, as such, properly denied the privileges properly common among law-abiding men.
