Western sentinel. [volume] (Winston [i.e. Winston-Salem], N.C.) 1856-1886, 1861-04-19


of such men is an outrage and an indig-
nifty to a State accustomed to see the
federal offices filled by gentlemen and
men of high character.
The appointment Of such creatures is
like an insolent conqueror quartering the
vilest OF his drabs and camptollowers
upon the most refined citizens Of a cap
tured city. The appointments of Lincoln
in border slave States all promise to be OF
the character TO which we have alluded.
The gentlemen are to be guillotined, and
besotted blackgua:ds and unwhtewashed
bankrupts are to take their place. Brave
veterans, covered with honorable scars
men like Wiley and Bigger, honored and
respected for half a century-are,it is said,
- make way, and for whom? We speak
not with certainty, but for the creatures,
perhaps Of that collapsed and discarded
demagogue, Bolts. If abject submission

ton, the heads of Wiley, Bigger, Harrison,
and Of other good and pure men, are to
presented, to Bolts, Carlile, Summers and
company in charger. Lincoln holds

''thirty pieces" conditionalIy. Unsuccess-
full submission will not pay-successful
will.
Before the eyes Of his greedy subject
King Kangaroo holds up the glittering
prizes, and also the haiters. His rule,
like those OF the lowest order of Gin shops,
is, leash in advance" He does not pay
the submissionists until they have com
p.eted the job Of selling Virginia. They
must do the work before they get the IVA
ges of sin" Aid verify, to a Eirginian,
''ihe wages of federal offices under Lincoln
will be death'-death to good standing,
death TO fair name, death to future success,
death TO social position.
The revolution which is working out a
glorious future for Virginia will take 40
step backwards. In less than twelve
months public opinion will place the Eir
glnia submissionists Ct 1861 along side OF
the tories Of 1776, ana Linco!ns office
holders in Virginia will be gibbetted in
iron side by side with the tory spies Of HE
revolution. They will be pointed out III
the streets, hissed by boys, avoided by
men and scorned by women. They will
sculk Il rough lie, looking and feeling
like men the record of whose crimes
against their section was branded upon
their brows with red hot iron. Some
will take to hard drink, lie about the
street like filthy swine, sleep neglected on
cellar doors, enlist in the chain-eang, shut
t1e off the mortal coil in the aims house,

will fly tie State, and hide their shame
under an alias in Dacotah or Utah. Their
sons, daughters and relations will blush
when they are named, and atone for the
scarlet sin Of their fathers wearing the
kangaroo's livery, by becoming red hot
secessionists. Every dollar of ssservice
money" which these men will get as a
portion of the pay Of the submission party
for betraying and dishonoring Virginia,
will bring i'll luck with it. 1t will be like
money stolen from church, won at faro,
or taken from defrauded widows and
orphans. 1t will atf1ict the 1veried slaves
of the Abolition Despot as those are ours
ed who sell their souls to the Prince of
Darkness.
And when the servants of Lincoln add
to the CRIME of ofholding and seeking office
from an Abolitionist that of turning out
old soldiers like Wiley and Bigger, it is
impossible to say where the honest indig-
nation of the people will stop. The idea
of the menials of Bolts taking the
place of the old soldiers OF 1912 will ere
drive even our law and order-abiding
people to fury.
Let the people Of Virginia remember
that throng of eager, greedy-eyed, hungry
vultures, who disgrace and dlshonor the
fair fame of Virginia by hailing from the
State, are watching from their perch in
Washington the death struggle OF State
Honor, Independence, and States Rights,
with Submission, Abelitionism. and Fed,
eralism If we fal. powerless and conquer
ed by these loathsome adversaries, this
unclean pack of harpies will descend like
flock of buzzards to prey upon US
Lincoln is sftnply restraining them until
the submissionists have completed their
unholy work.
Let the people remember that the sub
missionists, and not the States rights par
ty in Virginia, are furnishing all the beg
gars out of employment who are now seek
ing to put on that meanest and basest OF
all the badges OF servitude, the livery OF
Lincoln Do they herd with and clamor
for scraps side by side with the Addition
