satisfy any honest inquiring mind that
the North is wrong and that the South.

knowledged. The people OF East Ten

We honestly believe they will finally do as
much TO maintain tho honor and dignity
of the southern ConTcderaoy as any other
portion OF the South. We have had
many brolls, and harsh cpthots among us,
but now that men have determined To
throw aside old Marty prcjudicos and lond
