coERCIoN--A PREDICTION.
&5R&6 -
The Black Republican papers Of the North of
late breathe nothing but coercion, war and blood |
SHED upon the Southern States that choose 10 re- |
sumo their sovereignty and withdraw from Union |
that has not only failed to carry ont the purposes
for which it was originally designed, but which
threatens, if continued, to become an engine ofrob
berry and oppression In the hands of fanatical and
unserupulous majority. The words treason rebels,
fAaitors flow freely from their pens and tongues
9fsd stranger to the facts Of the case would
NAaiy infer that the South was all wrong and the
a0rth all right--an inference as much at war with
5satstrutf as anything possibly could be.
Here are few specimens of Black Republican
y ald other war talk from prominent sources. The
6 olowing may be set down as significant item:
In the New York Senate resolution has been
Notwithstanding to the President Of the United
ktates the services of the militia of that State, and
hstructing the Military Committee, If necessary,
a. report bill to raise $1O,00o,0O0 to arm the
State.
WIiat il New York arming for? For what is it
proposed to spend ten millions of dollars? Although
New York is not threatened although she has no
cause for animosity against us--athough the South
hasneyer Wronged her and never expects to injure
herexceptin just self defense 1t is easy to answer
tho foregoing interrogatories. The Black Republic
anscontrol New York. By means of revenue laws,
special legislation, and legalized pundering gene
rally, the New Yorkcrs have grown wealthy and
Foaeffal. The action of many Of the Southern
st0tes has shown them that rich spoil is about
escaping from their rapacious and unhallowed
Grasp. Therefore, they propose to add to their
ions, black catalogue of wrong doing, the horrid
crimes Of armed devastation, war and bloodshed.
Well, LET them come on. We are prepared for
thern. They shall have such a welcome as will
more than satiate the bloody appetite of the
demon Of carnage.
The Legislature of Maine convened on the I'd
INST The Bangor Wing, speaking Of the duties Of
!. Legislature, said:
Maine should he prepared for any emergency !;
y that end an immediate Reorganization ot our
militia should be perfected The cnroltmcnts
fhauid be renewed, and the rGarmament OF tho
citizen salaery required. Our volunteer militia
should aiso be placed on the most effective foot
5g. This Is one Of the first duties Of The Legisla
a tafeszaiif il should be discharged within thirty
Days. Tie sentiment of the State demands it, and
taie people are ready to pay the bills.
,Ilet Maine { prepare" We shall not object to
s@Y preparations She may make We do not care
ggnyagil about them to urge even the smallest OBJ
~ seesaas. Bat Maine may learn that war is two
edged sword, and that the destruction menaced
i Esy not be confined exclusively to the South.
1 Tile Harrisburg correspondent of the Phila-
dtlphia North American writes in this wise about
asPsnnsylrania Legislature now in session:
lhare little doubt that the arnng Of the militia,
gsfsiaBs to the amount of 100 600 men, will be
agih0Fized promptly. To arm so many men Will
u p4diFe at least million of dollars. Additional
hxas must be laid to supply this prospective out
by, The maInbers from the poorest counties seem
Wiling to take the responsibility ct present OF levy
4 Mg such increased taxes.
And the Philadelphia North American itself
nys:
Z 658s Nothing hut power, overwhelming power, and
i5fes directly applied, can save us.h 1t declares
distinctly in favor of making q stand, IN which
eEerv energy and power of the State shall be en-

Very good. Again we say that we shall not oh

you please. There will be mourning through
Tie keystone State before the destruction o
se sortI can be accomplished. But pay due

ssfrhe weItnformed Washington correspondent o

the policy of the Black Republican party is al
