dard to show our readers the state Of exas-
peration which exists in the Soulhern mind
growing out Of the denuuciations and inter-
ference with their institutions by the fanatca
Of the North. 1t is time this crusade against
the rights Of our Southern brethren bsi
ceased.
CARRoLLroS, Miss, Sept. 80, 1889,
G. s. TowLE, Esq,
Editor Of "rhe Granite State Whig,"
Lebanon, n. H.
Sir IL herewith mail 10 you copy Of
your "Whig' Of September 80, seRt to Mr.
J. q. Smith, at Cola p o.. this county, and
from the appearence of the address, it is pre-.
sume it was sent direct from your office.
The P NJ knowing no Smith Of that chris
tened name in the habit of receiving his
mails through that office, carried the paper
in hs pocket for several days, nquirng
th. .oughOut the country If such Smith lived
in it, aud falling 10 find the one addressed, be
handed me the paper with the request that
after persual would return it TO you with
the cause Of its return. And in justice to
Mr.. Farmer, the p. d., will say that in his
search for the owner, be WAS hot sctuated
with the motive merely to give it to him, but
TO ascertain il he subscribed for it, in order
that he might be held up, If such were true,
flufa nI fpo
good citizens which subscription to such
an infamous sheet as yours wouId:meIit. 1t
may perhaps be news to you, to hear that
public opinion hele regsrCs subscriber t0
such sheet MS but little less base aud treach-
erous 10 the South than the Editor thereof
is 10 the constitution OF our common coun-
try. Your subscriber, it such there be, in
this county, has merited the condemnation
Of every high minded citizen, for wishing TO
assist you in your helish undertaking, and
if he could be discovered. they would sOon
lDd for him rail TO ride or coat Of tar
and feathers for him to wear.
The Legislature of our State has interposed
the sovereign arm Of the law against the in
PRODUCTION and circulation Of any book or
paper of sedous character, or advocating
abolitionism; and our p. Ms are men OF
too much integrity to suffer such au abolition
paper as this to pass through their offices
without reporting them.
What contrast is here presented !
Whilst the Democratic journals Of the North
are received and circulated with pleasure,
your Black Republican sheets are prohibited, /,
as would be tie introduction o. an infectious
plague.
lsee from an editorial in this copy Of your
paper that you are advocating union Of all
the uppositions at the North against the Ma
tiona Democracy. Have you ever had
serious thought upon the consequences Of
the overthrow of that constitutional party,
| if its administration be changed for that of
the Black Republicans Do you suppose
that the South is so lost 20 all honor; 90 lost
to all independence and sef.respect as to
tsmey submit 10 the rule Of your infamous
paityl If SO, bansh from your bosom such
an illusion, for surely as you live it would
prove an illusion.
The South is awake to the true motives
aud intentions of your party. She is aware
that the numerous aggressions OF the North
upon her rights in the last thirty years are
but the prelude to one great desperate strug-
lie TO WI est from her that peculiar institu-
tou," which has been transmitted to her sa-
cred keeping, and which has become a part
of her existeuce-wth which she will pros
per and grow powerful among the mightiest
nations Of earth, but without which she
would sink into oblivion. A submission to
further aggression upon her rights, even
your fanatics in their frenzy should not ex-
pect OF her.
Should the Black Republicans be placed
in power and inaugurate the policy they
have always advocated, the days OF the ke~
public would indeed be numbered, and for
one would rejoice. Your party in its ianat>
icism has gone far enough; remember, "there
is point beyond which torbearancs ceases
10 be virtue" Or else the time may soon
come when the South, writhing under the
wrongs repeatedly inflicted upon her BY the
North, will have to appeal to the God of
Battles for redress. And, if such shall ever
be the case, we Of Mississippi, conscious that
we have holy CauSe--a cause sanctioned
BY the God Of our fathers and by our rell"
gion, with this taIsmautic word
ave know our rights,
And knowing dare defend them"-
will ever be found where duty calls the brave
so lorg es we can yield the sword or handle
} the rife.
/ Your party has ever hsrped on the aggrss
sons of the South, and this in the face o.
, lbe fact, that there has neUer been one ag
gression Of that character whilst those o
your section upon the South have been innu
merable.
Why is it that you distort history so, i il
be moi to deceive the people, and upon ths
deception to appeal to their prejudicesi
say again, your party has gone far enough
|, 1t is time that it should cease its egregiousy
/ aggravated faleshoods lies will cal

. Of slavery as It exists here. Have some It'll
regard for the truth. And il it be for .
