others awake to this terrible tr? The leaders OF the

to force it on Mississippi, wher half OF the population
are negroes, and forms party elects PRESIDENT ana
welds the common government oil the States to force
her ideas OF the negro the pope who have this race
among them, and thus is presented the astounding
