Unhappily for our poor, distracted
oonn+rv there are many of her people
Tho NAV be styled Fact Haters. They
Iii theorize, they will speculate, they
iii aroue. and dwell on what they call
loaic-a kind of speech usually distin-
gEished by it's lack of common sense-by
fhe hour in fine, they will do anything,
or saw anything, in reference to our civil
tronbIes. save look at facts. They lay
down what they call their principles and
their platforms, and befog you with their
distractions and hypothesis, but they re,
;ect facts as stoutly as though they lived
in the cloud-land and dreams of Utopia
These men are particularly hostile TO facts
regarding slavery nor do they allow the
ALMIGHTY to establish a fact respecting
slavery, without upbraiding His wisdom
and challenging the counsels OF the Eter-
nal. Let MS imagine one OF these act
Hatters conversing with his plaln-sPoke"

The rebellion is tue work OF the good South

LOYAL MAN care not whose work ii is;
it has cost us more already than all our ne

play with vipers.

talk of these things. or hint Unit they can
possibly occur. You must never whisper
of these things again.

are, by your folly, setting tree my negroes,
and melting them to cut my throat and the
throats of my family; out if dare to re-
prove you of it, you deuouuce me as an
Abolitionist. Sir, let me tell you. you are
base hypocrit and an impudent liar. You

people. You are destroying property by
millions, you re bowling down the heads

and yet you W TX the streets hs the mode!
