ln that state Well, We call upon Governor
Lelcher, upon the members Of his legislature,
upon aIl honest Konlncldans. and upon al
honest mon evzry where. IS an acl of su-
blimo justice, 70 sgmpaibisb Uish ths Wings
Of Mississippi When the tongue Of bold
and manly honesty uttsrs The shame and de-
gradaiiOn Of Mississippi, make mark Ofre-
servasion in favor Of her nineteen thousand
wings. You can talk of reputation; and Il
cheers our hearts 70 hear you boast that The
spirit Of Indus is no. among you--lhat you
have not bowed The knee @ Baal; that you are
not found crawling in the slime Of popular
and political pollution, butwe have had so'
meet il atour thFssholds.--we have had 70.
fight liz with our hands, lace 10 face, and
shoulder to shoulder. We have been forced
into contact with il. dirty and degrading as
il ID. We have worn out our quilts and our
types in heFalding It's defamation; our
lungs are hoarse in laundering its enatha-
THAMES, aud our hearts are sickened in con.
lemplaiing our humiIialing defect. The
bantling did not insult our ears in squalliDg
It's FIRST shout for the rule Of demagogues
until we meet il sword in hand We spurned
the fFs, intimation Of parley or compromise
on any ierms. We courted utter extermina-
ZION rather than life without direct and
brilliant victory. We call every ''st,imp' in
the state 70 witness that we never left the
filed or slackened from the onset. We rail-
lied upon the lastba4ery end were overpoW-
cred upon the last rampant We had in,ell-
genee; nay we had towering talents. We had
great men and small men, and all nerved
with as Purea principle Of honestly as any
Of COlumbias sons can bOasts-the bright and
unsuIlied genius Of Justice himself with
TRRUTH SmblazOned upon his forehead bore
our standard, and we rallied around il,
every man of US, until we were overpower-
ed BY the yell Of demagogues and the pre-.
ponderance Of human flesh. Truth and
honesty and justice and morality, yea, and
Religion wePt over us as we fell, and lamen-
ted with US our common defeat.
But did we fail 10 rise no more! Are we
conquered finally? No, verify! There is a
God in Israel that willye assist us success
fully 20 do battle with these uncircumcissd
Amslakites. w
! WersiOiee to see the people elsewhere
dSnounce rePudiaiOr; but il ought to be re-
Insmbsred that none have ucfcd as we have
acted-none have done, in regard 10 il. what
the wings Of Mississippi have done. And
though we did not, because we could no.
stay the food of degradation that overspreads
ours soil, yet we glory in so noble defeat.--
NOmen had ever legacy so proud, so rich,
50 brilliant TO beqeath as we will hand down
to our sons.-We will live and we will die
as Weno@ live, lighting reputation. Our
scabbords are, long since thrown away. We
will yet triumph or die in the struggle. And
We know that justice will be yet done us;--
for five shall not be able ultimately 10 save
the state from being scoffsd and kicked out
Of all decent society. posterity shall remem
Der us for good honesty shall stand as visible
and imperishable monument over US. JUS
tice shall never cease. 10 Poise her equitable
scales where We lie. Then this shall be our
inscription. Then, though we may not
have the respective ask for the sympathy Of
all good men every where.
We had almost forgotten the extract we
first spoke Of, here il Is.
"The doctrine Of reputation, am proud
to say, receives no encousagements- no
Indulgence, meets no toleration from any
