MILFORD, N. II. April 25, 1917.
DEAR FRIENDS: =
The famine of news this way, is almost
equal TO the famine of bread in Ireland-and
10 the news-mongers, almost as distressing.
True, there are about the usual number OF
accidents and incidents, such as fires, floods,
festivals and fdsts; besides marriages and
monstrous births, and women with %triplets,
and sometimes even larger l~itters at a time,
much 10 the comfort Of the President doubt
less, who inst now, like King Lear, wants
soldiers"
The most noticeable fact now, is, the per-
feet drunkenness of the people on the blood
OF the Mexicans. To preach Anti-Slavery
to them now, would be as absurd as to preach
moderation and meekness to the widest fu-
ries in a madhouse, or temperance 10 a gutter
full of snoring drunkards.
Even the wings are in extacies of delight
NOT particularly because so many women
have been violated and then murdered along
with their children, but because it gives them
the delectable prospect of having the chief
murderer for their President.
The most God abandoned democrats are
not viler, if so vile as the wings. They
have denounced the war and those who made
it,, rising up early 10 curse it, in its origin
and objects. The party said over and over
again, (and truly too) that it was a war to
promote and p%rolong slavery. 1t has declar-
ed that if this nation did embark in such a
war, it would be the duty of all Christendom
TO come 10 the aid of Mexico-tlat in it, if
the bible be true, we never could succeed
1t has branded it as plumber and piracy, de-
serving of universal execration. This was,
however, some weeks ago.
Now that same party endorses the war
with most diabolical relish. Over the field
of Buena Vista, screaming with live horrors,
sown with dead bodies and sieaming with
ponds of blood, it bowls its hyena delight
Maids aud mairons. mothers and musings,
lettering age and joyous youth, are huddled
In hillocks OF promiscuous death, and whig-
ism yeIls itself hoarse with internal glee,
and with assurance that hell would be asha-
med of, nominates the perpetrator of these
nameless woes, for the highest office in the
r%ation's gift.
Such is the wing party of this accursed
country. To secure a wing aGministration
and a high tariff, it would bury Mexico in
the ashes of its own ruin, from the Rio
-
Grande 10 Guati'nala. TO sell its mis.r-
able shirtings and satinetts, it would invade
Perdition, and annex it 10 the United States
of Slavery. To manufacture them, it would
dam up the rivers of Life, and with its mill
ponds, overflow the fairest fields aud gardens
of Paradise.
The democrats are letting them fight the
war. am glad the Clays, The Governor
Lincolns, and other Beelzebubs of the party
furnish so many of those who are offered in
sacrifice. Let them bleed; what else are
they good for!
The wings expect the next presidency, III G
democrats expect an immense accession OF
slaveholding territory. The wings will give
that price for the presidency, the democrats
will consent TO the bargain, only letihe pres.
iden: be a stakeholder. General TAYLOR is
that. in the fullest sense of the term, and the
South could not wish a better.
This, then, is our government and union
Liberty party swears allegiance to it, and
denounces disunion as treason deserving OF
death I! The brokers in hell would pay pre-.
MUM for such depravity.
Yours as ever,
PARKER P%ILLSBURY.
