You can readily perceive, sir, that wha, South
carolina did at that time, every other Soutb.
ern State can more readily do now. and cris,
comfortably, luxuriantly, even, without sny
OF the suStenance that the county of Hamilton
and State Of Ohio, are so ready 10 e,cb,n,a
for a material consideration. Indeed 81, :,
strikes me forcibly that the ''conSjdera,ion"
Is OF vital importance to the county Of Ilsm;l.
ton and State Of Ohio, while the Sou,b 90,
readily dispense with the "Sustenance"
Coming now TO the crushing down our
sister State by the aid Of the Congocs ~ an
notice OF the approach Of the county of Ham.
liton and State of Ohio, permit me to r.fe,
you TO all episode III our national history
wherein a nation nearly as powerful az m,
county Of Hamilton and State of Obio ala :.
1916, attempt to conquer the State of Son,h
Carolina by the aid Of Coucoes. N ubor
they offered their freedom for their assistance
to murder their masters. The same history
informs us that the COngOeS remained faith.
iul to their masters, cultivating their farms
supporting and protecting Their families
while their masters drove tie invaders from
their soil.
The success OF John Brown and other
bandit emIsSaries Of the Republican marty
who found their sturdIrst foco in the fsi,bfnl
slaves, should teach you that the Christian
slave to day, born aud raised Nth lis master
is no less siItctjonatr aud faithful than The

When the county Of Hamilton and Stat,
of Ohio approach 10 crush down nv sister

You appear also to have Ersotten that
