Vorclng husbands ana wives, separating parents
and children, the selling men, women and chill
dren, by private contract or by public cutlery; yea
the right of vending unborn generations yes, the
exalted privilege, peculiar to the STAKEHOLDER, OF
selling his own children, his own brothers and sis
tiers, cousins, nephews and neices, into the most
miserable slavery, and all and every the right of
dueling, chivalry, assassination, murder and gem
orally all and every and each of the multiplied
rights embraced within the circle of the most I'M
bounded inhumanity.
These twenty eight congressman are the chos-
en- gadiators, to dispute every inch of ground,
which the humanity Of Congress may desire to
occupy. These are the men, whose votes are en-
ployed to gag the House of Representatives of
the nation. These are the twenty eight men to
lead the House on the forlorn hope of suppressing
debate, and take the liberties of the nation by
storm, and lead them into captivity without the
hope OF ransom. These are the men, elected DIFF
terently from all the rest not to favor but to resist
all measures offered by those for the benefit Of
their thing-constituency these are the men, who
under the pretence of preserving order and quiet
in the glory of representatives, produce wild cha
os and prmeval night, amidst their maniac screams
of Order! ORDER!! ORDER!!! These are
the men, who, with horrid oaths at their private
boarding houses, on the 2lst December, 1887,
swore that eff any man from the North las your
able Slade had done) should bring in a resolution,
or law, to abolish slavery in the District of Co
lumbia again, they would put him to death !"
Their notions of government may be inferred
from their favorite maxim, that slavery is the
cornerstone of our republic" IF slavery be "the
stone," it is not difficult to predict of what
materials the side, and end walls of this edi6ce
would be created, if these twenty eight gentlemen
IL. i I Il / :
institutions There are SIX republics on this
continent in North and South America, which
are without these "corner Stones" so much valued
by these far-seeing politicians.
Besides the peculiar duties which have been as
signed to the twenty eight ting-representatires,
heyare expected to DO q certain amount of bullying,
hecoring gasconading, threatening, dueling, rife
trying, psto-practsing, so as to compel from north
ern members, their profound respect for the pecu-
liar institutions of the South. They, the twenty
eight, are mechanically as the click strikes the
hour at least one hundred times, in a session of
Congress, to threaten to split the Union all to-
shivers; and at least Oh one hundred different
questions, from the question whether dead horse,
killed in the late war, should be paid for, up toI
that of the abolition of slavery.
They, the twenty eight, are ex-oficio the war;
dens, and keepers of the wedges and beetles, by
which they will undertake to split the Union, in
to pieces or parts to suit purchasers from a state
down TO a school district
The great slave wedge, we are assured by these
would easily rive and sunder the
Union, from the capcs of the Delaware to the
mandan towns. If these men will sacrifice the
Union for their love of slavery. we will sacrifice
slavery for our love of the Union. We hope by
the goodness Of an overruling Providence, that
we shall be able to add two and half millions
of new votaries and supporters of republican
form of government, who having tasted all the
ills which may be practised under 1t, may
also enjoy all the blessings which by any posi-
bility it may confer.
