@~The following caustic burlesque
upon a bumbug demonstration at Vicks-
burg, is taken from the Vicksburg Sun.
We have read nothing more opposite for
a long time:
"CoME YE SINNERS. - No Time for
Dodgimg, Dodging, Dodg1ng. Great
Union Demon strotlon. -Fanaticism NOV
ing. Distinguished speaker from ILL.,
nois expected to lecture us o. the sub
,ject of our duties to Mr.. Lincoln. Other
emissaries of Mr.. Lincoln looked for,
who will address us ON the subject of
Southern rights. Aid and comfort to
the South. Mr.. Lincoln sound on the
niger question. Going to publish a
proclamation telling the people of the
South to be easy and submit quietly to
his administration. Very conservative.
Good Union move. Rally and save him
from the mad fanaticism Of the South.
No time to talk about Southern rights,
they must be sacrificed on the common
altar of the Union. The Union must be
preserved at any price. The Union
worth more than all the niggers!
Let the niggers slide, but save the
Union !
Southern disunionists intend to cut off
the supply of cod fish. Union men,
rally!
Great meeting of the Shakers at Vicks-
burg. Let every Southern man who has
the slightest sympathy for the North
come! Let every Southern mar with
Northern sentiments come. Ye whose
knees knock when it t%hunders, come.
Ye whose blood flies at the smell Of sui
phur, come. Ye who lick the rod that
smites you, come. Come, We patient,
%forbearing, long suffering, meek and
lowly Southerners, come and fit the yoke
to your necks. Come, we great men and
ye little men. Come all. Come, We
writer's of letters and we preachers of
prophecies. Come! WE will be there.
The fugitive from three States and the
mendicant from the fourth will be there.
Come! Come join US who are in the
"midst of a fearful crisis, moral, social,
political and pecuniary." No Southern
man ought to stay away from a meeting
deliberations of which involve the
dearest interests Of Northern factors,
Northern merchants, and Northern poll
ticians.
Let US stand by President Lincoln in
bis hour of trial, no matter what his prin-
ciples-and by Hannibal Hamblin, no
matter what his complexion or what bis
pedigree.
