This Is az IL should be. lie has favored va as
no people were ever bt fore favor,d lie has
been with us in ,h- still hour of night He has
been our pillar Of cloud by day He has been
our pillar of Gre by night. God is with us!
How ioyfUl'y the iidin 81 God is with us
How every heart responds u the sentiment
God Is with u'! Who shalt prevail against Us!
God is with us Does not III" knowledge Of
the fact thrill the heart of every son of South
ern soil: God Is with NJ! Our President, our
Congress, recognize the fact that God-our
God has favored Us, that lie has armed our
brave cil,rrts with success.
This paper is leading organ OF tho cotton
| ocracy. and sns'ains the usrpcr Ila' RS in
every step h. lakes in this horrible IT bsliou.
But among the many wicked paragraphs found
IN this paper. do not remember to have SEN
anything more 81 than the sbJve quotation.
:" God is rih us = says the tdi'or Tie
| Word tf God says, Thou shall not It ALL and
| yet The rebels OF the cottonOcracy have stolen
our forts, ursenals end miu,s and still say.
"GCd is with us!' They drore PIG patients
out of our hospital at New Orleans, and put
them on the commons to die and say, "God is
with u.s. They drove ,fl the crew of three
coast survey vessels. and ssy, God IL with
us!' They have refused to pay debts honestly
due to Northern merchants. and say. God il
wi us'' They are il debted to Nor hern
capitalists for the bonds sold to build every
railrt ad In the South, and refuse to pay bonds
As we'll might the man, Who, under the cover
of night, steal his neighbours goods, say G ,d
Is with him As well might the bloody assas
Elm, wdo butchers his friend for his money, say
God is with him, God has blessed him.
Bnt the enormity does not stop here. The
| outrageous and wicked leaders OF the cotton
ocracy have assumed TO think for every man
| In the South. and any man (and even woman)
who lares TO differ from them, who dares to be
true and loyal to the Gov, rnment under which
all have lived free and happy; they are either
driven from their homes, hung or forced into
the rebel army. and still they say - God il with
them!
They tried TO elect Breckiulidge and Lane,
to enable them 10 hold on The off .es. Failing
in that, they resolved 10 have n new Govern.
lnent in which the! could hold office. They
have formed 4 bogus concern. and call II a
government, and have chosen President and
all the cabinet officers from this old Breckin-
ridge party. all supposed 10 he Knights OF the
Golden Star, III, third degree ur the Golden
Circle. Their President and Congress have sri
aside elections by the people. Their Govern.
ment Is one OF pol.ticiaus, and. for fear Of an
Indignant and outraged people, they hold secret
sessions Of their LOCUS Congress. where they
plot th' destruction Of the peoples liberty and
still say that --"G God l. with rs.
| The w0rd Ct God stvs. Thou shalt not bear
false witness" ard yet The secession journals
ab"und with the mos outrageous iaIsehoohs
lh,t ever lissraccd any age Or country, and
still say -. God Is withr.r
"Thnu shalt have none other Il ID but me-"
saith the commandment and yet these wicked
idolators fall down and cry. Great ia cotton 1t
