GsN- Cincinnati must be a God forsakcn city,
Sun Of that place coolly chronicles that "sev-
oral ladies had their pockets picked in the Cathe-
dral, on last Sunday, during service. One lady
lost Sl68."-Er.
Pish, that's %nothingl Don't the people of Gin.
cinnati pick the pockets of the Southerners, of ev.
cry niger they can lay their abolition fingers up
on And that in open day light, too. 10 steal
niggers and pick pockets is one of their Sunday
go-to.meeting Macon ALA Repu6-
hcan.
What the Republican calls niger stealing is an
admirable and most appropriate work for Sunday
or any other day. Jesus, whose gospel is profess
sedly preached on that day, in Cincinnati and Ala
bama, teaches to break ecery yoke and let Tie obpreS-
sed 90 free, and whoever rescues a man out of the
hands of the man thieves, is so far a Christian, aE-
ter this gospel pattern, and does an honest act
Putting to shame priests and people, who fol pre-
tence make loud professions of attachment to that
gospel, and then steal, fog, rob and murder those
whom they acknowledge to be worthy professors
of that gospel and possessed Of the spirit of its
grea. promulgator.
AS to the money-thieving, there is this to be
said in favor of the Cincinnati villains. LIST,
they prefer to rob the ~rich,-those who have the
right to defend themselves personally and legally
and do seek redress by law. Showing in,the manner
of their villainy something like courage and manli'
ness. The cowardly Alabamians choose victims
so poor that they don't own even a pocket-so poor
that they have no use for one, their earnings being
always intercepted before it is possible for them
to reach a pocket-men and woman, who according
to statute, 'can own nothing" They have the
meanness to rob woman after securing by enact
ment that she shall suffer death if she shall dare to
raise her clenched hand in defence OF her earn
ings, her persona, safety, or her honor. The Gin
cinnati pick pockets too, stand forth, comparative
ny honorable, in that they have the grace to be
ashamed Of their vilainy, and stink away into OBJ
security, endeavoring to cover up their shame, while
the Alabama thieves, have the utter gracelessness
to boast Of their villainy, and shamclessly claim
as their reward, not only the money they have
wrung from The torn muscles and bleeding hearts
Of their human victims, but they claim besides, as
a reward of their indiscribable meanness and wick
edness, the most lucrative Offices and most honora
BILE positions, civil, military and ecclesiastical,
which the whole land affords. We are therefore
convinced and prepared to maintain, that Cincin-
natl villains who 60 to church on Sunday to pick
ladies pockets, are honorable men compared
with Southern men thieves, who claim to own
who buy, sell, fog, rob, commit rape, seduction
murder and every imaginable personal outrage (fol
all crime is incident to slayery,) and then parade
their vilianies as the highest possible claim to the
character of gentlemen, and Christians and the
surest passport to a Generals commission and the
Presidential mansion. How "Glorionsn ia IN,
Union with such shameless sinners.
