OUR NEGRO

There are upwards of six millions of white men
in the Southern States. OF this number, only
three hundred and .jo,ty'seUen thousand flee hundred
and f~,centHfre are owners and hirers of slaves.
1t is this petty and tyrannical black aristocracy
who rule us of the free states with an iron rod
who threaten, through their northern PARASITES, to
subdue US who say that unles their will is obeyed
without q murmur, they and their overseers will
dissolve this Union who suppress freedom of
speech, the free press and pulpits in their own un-
happy section, and by thoir rufian hirellngs in the
territories, burn the cabins, steal the property, vi
Olate the wives and daughters, sack the cities, in
suit. imprison, shoot and scalp :he free state
s%quatters.
Read the subjoined classification of the negro
drivers of the southern states, and then decide
whether or not you will submit any longer to on
oligarchy so contem ptible in point Of numbers, 30
despotic in character, and so inhuman in creed.
