The Arkansas advocate., 1830-07-28

Deputg, nor for all the multitude. of the z host of the family thereof, that is zullh < them; for verify, Mere Je more with us, 2 than with them. Therefore, will we visit them with all the denunciations F < that arc written in the numbers of the 2 book of the ADVOCATE, and our wrath E shall be poured out upon them, and shaii { not be quenched.
 Z And now, when the Chief Overseer 2 heard those sayings of the people, he # quakcdgreatiy with fear,and with much confusion betook he hisselfto his cham $ Der, and appeared not among them for 5 many days; when having taken counsel ! with :. TaiIeyrand,' the Premier of z { State, he said unto William, the keeper < of the great seal, behold the people of my plantation are wrath-into their ! hands am betrayed by the evil of my standardization verily William, say unto thee, on the morrow of the Ma z tionai Jubilee, viii i make a peace of fering and an atonement unto them.- Hasten thou then into the streets, and z into ali the broad places thereof, and say unto the rich, and unto the poor, and unto all those who are in authority, To! Z the Chsef Ooerseer, on the morrow of the q National Jubilee, maketfl peace offer ing and an atonement unto his people;
 come now, ] beseech ye, with one ac S cord, and partake thereof freely; and I ! prayye, therefore, let all ourpolificalani-
 mositles be heneeforth consigned to obli- 8 yion, and remember ye them no more; i; 2 yea! let us eat drink and be merry. with Z loud applause unto the. Chief ODerseer.
 for he is grievously sad because of the
 murmurs of his people!
 But the people said no. Think ve.
 that like unto Esau of old, we will bar.

 Gods? even unto the Gods of Harry. of
 the land of Kentucky? When thou
 cryest peacei peace!! seekest thou not
 to betray us with kiss? By the sacred
 ashes of our forefathers, we say unto
 thee, that until thou ren9efest unto us
 seplolate our r5ghts, we will not give hee
 peace.
