come to Washington and be ready for the

Military Dcspot-to overawc-to browbcat
the South and help to force an odious and
despiscd sectional president upon m I'M
willing people. A long line of national
Presidents have preceded him, but never
before has it been necessary to call in the
Military to help inauguratc President
If they be necessary for his inauguration
they will be required to render him pcrma-

well to scccdc from people which have to
maintain their ruler in power by tic mere
brute force Of the Military.

fTHE MOsT uNKINDEsT Cut OF ALL.-We
Zip the following paragraph from the prin-
fd, speech of Bob Taylor:
"Whcn they see fit to overturn it 1 will
fsubmit or leave the country; until then,
l will support and protect it even in doing so
might have to prepare my neck for the
block or the halter" (Applause.)
Which did the people applaud,-his de-
termination to leave the country, or offer
ing his neck for the halter? Now, Bob is

\world, and those people ought not to bf
Mad to get rid of him that way.
