TO THE PUBLIC ,
WHO ARE THE REAL TRAITORS?
EEEAD! EEk3ADs READ!

= The Inquirer clique, the malignant and viii
lanous slanderers of beliar men and truer pa-
lrioS than hemselyes,stiIl persist IN their char
ges of treason agaiast quiet, law-abiding and
peaceable citizens Of Bedford. The fellows
composing that clique, are the most miserable
of liars and the cowardliest OF poltroons, at the
same time that they are the vies of 5lackguards
and the guIltiest of TRAITORS. They are the
ialsest hypocrites, the meanest dirt-eaters, the
lowest demsgogues, the hllhiest buzzards that
ever pretended 10 honesty, friendship or patri-
otisrn, or that ever gorged their greedy maws at
the public crib. They were always bastard
and contemplate, pharisaic, deceitlul and trea-
cheTous, unpFincipled, unsCrupuIous, and un-
gentlemany ,cowardIy, mean and low, but since
that PestferOus insect, the 1FeqSon-Smeller, has
got under their clothes, every deYilrsh drop in
their veins has become more Satanic, every he'll
lish wish in their hearts more internal, every
dark and deadly thought of their minds, tenfold
hlacker and deadlier. Such monsters need px-
position. The people MUST KNOW what
these devils ncarnate are afraid they will learn,
viz That they themselves, the bowling, whin-
ng,wbimpering BLACK REPUBLICAN EDI-
TORS, ARE THE TRAITORS! That THEY
ARE THE DISUNIONISTS whose deliberate
treachery helped to sap the Union of its foun-
dalions PNow for the proof
On,the 9th OF prlI last Abraham Lincoln hav-
been President one month the Bedford Inquirer
published an article in the second column Of
its editorial page, declaring that '' The return of
the Seeded States was not desiroble,' and that
they should be let alone, winding up with the
following - treasonable'' sentiment, which is
nothing more, nor less, than The recognition of
the doctrine Of secession
''' Let the Seeding States 90 How evident
t.pi. that God, for great and benefcent purposes
OF his own, has permitted this insanity TO come
upon then. Let them 60 to work out their own
destiny by themselves .fnd If the da0eiisrS
on the .ftlan!ic slope Of North Carolina and
V6ginia choose that destiny, let them foo go
TIE policy Of coercion is is0o!scg. The boun-
dary between the two Inevitable naionaties
wIIi be most wisely determined bv the elective
afHniIies of the population. WhersFer thet
boundary may be established, II will De movea-
Die, south ward, If Eastern Virginia, or Virginia
entire. chooses 10 go with secession. Virginia
will return whenever the Interests of freedom
there shall predomnate over the slave-breedng
Intererest. Till then let her 60, if she will"
Yes let them go 'tLet the Seeding
States go" This sentiment was all right
enough when the Bedford Inqairer published IT;
It was ever so loyal, patriotic and true, when
altered BY Black Republican, no matter how
lousy thief he may have been but let Dem
ocrat say anything Of that sort, and 10 the
ITeaSon-sraeliers az once begin to bite, the IN
quirey feEds 10 below, and every Black Re-
publican calf that expects to pasture on UNCLE
Sans farm, sets up baa that would drown The
roar the cannon at Manassas Let the Sc.
cedlng States GO" Such was the language of
the Inquiref'a Jew months ago. fit is treason
now TO say so, ,:dsARas treason then, and, there
fore, the InqAigsy aIaue according TO their ev-
ery-day declaRtlon''S are TRAITORS and
ought to be hunA 4
Again, in the Inqu,Jer OF March /, 1861,
there is an edoast tssfdixslng the speech, ,af a..
bFabam Lincoln at PhiIadelpbia. - In this speed
Lincoln sad Il
~ -
Now, in my view of the present aspect Of
affairs, there need be no bloodshed, or war.
THERE IS NO NECESSITY FOR IT."
Were we to-day to make use of the language
vi Mr Lincoln, we would be at once denounced
'6y the Inquirer clique, as a traitor. Therefore,
according 10 lheiy own rule, not only they, but
Mr. Lincoln, also, have been guilty Of treason
and ought to be hung.
