ΤΟ

Every honest Patriot citizen,

and unconditional Union man, who
loves Loyalty and despises Rebellion, whether
perpetrated North or South, under one pretence or
another, for the sake of office, power, fame, money, or
malicious resentment: To every intelligent reading

man, who, to whatever party he may belong, is unwilling

to see his Government overthrown by wicked and designing men, and who has resolved to live and die beneath the folds of the Star-Spangled Banner: To my companions in the Knoxville Jail, who,

with me, swore upon the altar of our country that, despite the gallows

and the prison, they would adhere to the Flag of the Federal Union, and who look to the mild umpirage of the Union as the only shield of nationality, is this work

Dedicated by its Author,

Who, during the progress of this revolution, has opposed it at every step, regardless

of consequences personal to himself, and of what designing men might say or think, or of what a corrupt and pensioned Southern Press might charge,

as to motives; who still bears in mind that it was WASHINGTON

who told us, "THE CONSTITUTION 18 SACREDLY OBLIGATORY

UPON ALL;" and that it was JACKSON who said,

"THE UNION, IT MUST BE PRESERVED!"

This is a truth now revealed to us,

"Which kings and prophets waited for,

And sought, but never found.”
