Suspicion, poisoning his brothers cup; Naked rebellion, with the torch and axe,
Making his Wild sport of your blazing thrones Till anarchy comes down on you like night, And massacre seals ROme's eternal grave"

SusplciOn poisoning his brothers cup;
 Naked rebellion, with the torch and axe, Making his wild sport of your blazing thrones; Till anarchy comes down on you like night,
 And massacre seals Rome's eternal grave" So mounting the tripod, he commenced the onslaught, but so distorted had his imagination become, that ever since that eventful period in his history, he sta,ts at even his oacn shadow; hence by very natural transition, incident to his state of mind, he has m etamorphosed the President and his cabinet into the Pope and the Catholics, of which there is about as much da,a- ger to be apprehended, as there would be of a soch of sand hill cranes for it is known to every one possessed of three grains of common sense or who is in the habit of reading newspapers, that the Pope hinase.f is kept in aaoe by French Cathohc bayonaets at this very moment, and that with all the naanufactured allegiance with which Catholics are charged of oaOing to the Pope, that they would not hesitate to Mroa0 him into the Tiber, or d'tve him from the Vatican, as they have done teoenty times, if he were to assume any extraordinary airs.
 Then fellow citizens, if we would not be ac- cused of aoiyM iyaorance and stupidity; if we would not be haching in that Hberalty, that has hitherto characterized us as Amertcans and as a nation; if we would not presumptuously aorest aN power out of the Aands of the Almighty, let us sAun those totls set for us by aspi,1nq de- magogues. By those who
 ..--would rather reign in hell
 Than serte in hcaven."
 Casting off the shachles by which they have sought to bind us, let us restore our own Arkan- sas to her wonted purity, where she proudly stood before she became contaminated and zoz- luted by the shanaefuA deJasing and damning sin of know nottingham. Summing those inte,nM traators, who would stalk into office over the bAglted hopes, the prostrate liberties of too confding people, Yet us place Arkansas side by side with those proud southern States, who, re- jecting the Yankee trap of know nottingham, have won for Memsezves and for the whole south an enviable and mdyng name. By so doing fellow citizens, in addition to the fuct that we will in no small measure have contributed to the safety and saluation of our beloved south, we will have the pleasing consciousness of having discharged our duty to ourselves our country and our Gul.
