In several pieces they are parading a
historlco-prophetic banner thus en-
scribed:

Its historic aIlusion is to the fact tina,
the party Polked the nation into 4 war
with Mexico whica cost $500, 900 900
and sacrificed $4,000 lives, to acquire
territory for slave states, and Polked
them out OF enough territory in Orego n
to make some half dozen free states
because il was only 6t Tor Yankees and
AbolIlionists, aud not adapted to slave
labor or slave breeding. They Pierced
the nation In promising to resist the ag.
itaticn Of the slavery question, come
from what quarter il might, and then by
opening il up more fearmlly than il ever
had been before. They Pierced US in
promising the settlers in the territory
the right to regulate their own insiitn
tons in their own way, aud then by i'm
prisoning those who contend for free
dom. and sending the army to Kansas
to enforce the laws OF Missouri on N,
people OF that territory. They hay'

OF commerce travel. and breaking VI
lawful meetings Of American citizens b.

meaning to say tina, any people who vii
quietly submit to such Polking and Pier
cling. will stand Bucking. and ought t.
endure il.
But what is thatl says the reader.
II is as bad as Polking and Piercing
may the gods defend us! II is worse, o
we don't understand them. Webste
defines II as "soaking or sleeping in I've
process Of bleaching" which being in
terpreted. means that the black shall b
