"'/^ .^--m ■ . -. 1*11 . -.
And now, my friends, if you will ' riot punisli *traitoi"S, tell me, if you please, what class of criminals you will punish. . Will you punish theft, arson, a...nd murder, and let traitors go with a gentle exhortation ? Will you hang a plain common man who in a fit of passion kills his neighbor, and leave such a gentleman as Jefferson Davis or General Lee, whose offense consists in trying to kill the State, unscathed by the righteous penalty of lawj Will you hang the foul wretch who shot the President, and leave that dark, broad back-ground of treason whence he came, and in concert with whose spirit he committed 'the crime; untouched' by the hand of public justice'?
