the banner Of insurrection in the South and initiating
bloody civil throughout the Union and recommend
ing book the text book Of this reasonable and
hiionary organization We also gave several extracts
from the book ITSELF which is endorsed by many of the
prominent and wealthy Of the citizens Of New York
who members of the black republican party, and
SIXTY eight members Of Congress.
This book is called "Compendum OF the Impending
Crisis Of the South" and published by A. b. Burdck,
abolonis from North Carolina, but bears the face Of
