Hll LOT tne glory OF GOD ana inc increase OF
His kingdom; that their pursuits and pleasures
in Africa are loathsome in tho sight Of God;
but when they arc transporter TO the cotton
fields and learned to raise six bales to the
hand, great IL his reward, for he now peascth
the Lord, and shall have seat in Heaven;
while traitors who have so long been protected
in making black angels, quietly pocket tho
proceeds of the cotton. To all this you must
sOlemnly prUmise and swear, or you are an
Abolitionist. And some of these traitors are
helping to populate heaven with angels only
half black. This is no jOke all this has been
preached from the pulpit by the said Sooty-
winged nigger satellites. They do not stop at
insulting man, but blasphehie God with their
obsequious dallying and pandering to set
Of corrupt, fly blown jnckasscap Twho cannot
sec any other aim or object on earth through
which pleasure or happiness can be secured
but Niger; no other argument in politics but
niggcr; no other road to heaven but on q mig
gers back. They must have the Missouri
Compromise, or they will break up the Gov
eminent. Then the Missouri Compromise
must be repcaled-it amt fair-Or they will
knock all the underpinnings from under Uncle
Samuel.
Kansas must be allowed to do as shc plcnses
no intervention. Oar sweet-scented Beriah,
who lives in the Governors palace, and don
rule the destines of Kentucky exactly as he
would wish to, made speech in our county
town when he was n candidate, in which he
said that Congress had no power to lcgislate
on Slavery, and must not intervene in Kansas
affairs; that he would draw his sword and
fight before he would ask Congress to pass a
pto-Slavery or 0nti-Slavery law for Kansas,
for that would be setting the example that
Congress had right to intervene, and il
might hereafter pass some law that we did not
like. and If we complained, they might tell us
we must put up with it, because we asked them
Al 4. -. al,
was settled; but, behold when Kansas herself
attempts to settle her own business, they shift
around and attempt to force her to be a slave
State against her will. They have been per-
mitted to change ground many times on that
subject in the last few years. They are as un-
reasonable as baby with n toy; cry if you
give it to them, cry if you don't give it to
them: and like the spoiled child, they must
now be spanked and put to rest. have heard
it preached ever since can remember, that all
we asked was to let us manage our own State
affairs as we pleased, particularly our own pc
culiar institution; that the North wanted to
take them away from us without compensn-
tion; that If the North would only acknowl-
edge that there is such thing Gs property in
man, re would be satisfied Now, the Presi-
dent offers to us, to let us do just as we please.
Buy our negroes if we wish to sell, md if we
do not want to sell, who, "KEEP THEM, AND
THAT is THE END OF IT." and we will be pro-
tected with them, thereby acknowledging that
they are property, and thereby offering to de-
feat the abolitionists, in taking them without
compensation; and also spelling the grand ar
gument of the disunionists, that Lincoln and
his Yankee hOrdes would take our negroes
from us. They are mad at Lincoln for letting
us do as we please; some of them denying that
the rebellion has anything to do with niger,
and, therefore, Lincoln is an abolitionist for
bringing in the sacred name of niger at this
time. And some Union men are very hard to
be pleased with anything the Government does,
and such men rarely complain at the iniquity
being enacted by the rebels. II JEFF. Davis
had come out with the same message. they
would have pronounced it the most liberal,
fair, impartial, statesmanike document that
was ever offered for the consideration of people
of common sense. Oh! consistency, thou art
n jewel, made of gum elastic, and can be
stretched to suit the conscience. The cry of
aboltionist is the whip that is continually held
up TO scare the ignorant into the Secession
ranks. If you look at things with common
sense, Y, u are an aboitionist. If you are for
your country, and for the majority ruling, you
are an ahnlitiODist. 1t is time VIC put stop
to these insults. They can not listen to rea-
son. The only thing you can beat common
sense into them with is green sycamore club
that will not bounce, or bullet few
wholesome truths may be bitter, but nevcrthc-
less true. The accusation is very common that
the North favOrs amHlgamation. Now, to tell
the truth, and shame old Nick, il is practiced
to u fearful extent throughout the South and
Kentucky. Go into any Of our towns and SEQ
the different shades and colors.
Jet black, buff, and brown,
Mongrcl, puppy, whelp and hound.
But we will not speak loud on this. Some-
body might be listening. You can know every
traitor in the land as plainly as you can your
hogs, by the ear marks. They have pass
word, by which you can know them ms well in
the night as in the day time; that word is
Abolitionist That is the sum total OF all their
arguments.
will relate an anccdotc that shows Vir-
ginian's ideas ON the niggcr question, and itis
true; ] heard it. Travelling in Virginia, 1
stopped at night at n house where they were
holding meeting, and any one seemed to
have u right to tell what he knew. spry
young man took the pulpit, and let out on tho
erucifxiou as follows: "My brethren! how
meek was our SaviOur-they crueifed MIN;
they put n crown Of thorns on his head; they
stuck n spear in his side; they drove nails
through his hands, and he never said word a
bit more than if he had beon Niger"
Fellow -citzens, yOu all know that niger is
the raw head and bloody bones, the scoreerow,
that is continually held up to your view, never
oeasng agitation. You must stand sentinel
all night, you muse stand sentinel all day, with
your musket, over your darling black angels,
while they work in the field, TO keep somebody
from stealing them. And you must stand
watch to keep down nsurrecton-ETERNAL
VIGILANCE Is THE PRICE OF NIGGER. All of
this hue-andcry is kept up when there is not
the slightest danger
Well, gentlemen does this not suggest to
your mind CLEAN Of common sense2 Does
not the weary sentinel begin to ask himself,
when will the relief come around? But no re-
lief ever comes. All, mel when or how shall
l ever find time to enjoy myself with my loved
ones? Where is that happiness this sacred in
stitution is to produce? When shall / rest2
Now j sec this never ending olamOr has at last
beat il into my head that had better take
the value of these gems from Afrio's burning
sands, and invest in something that will not
forever disturb my peace, use the musket on
traitors and take the hoe myself. Niger and
cotton has produced this rebellion, and should
bo made foot the bill. There is a big niger
scare still on our Congress. They shrink,
afraid to take the bull by the horns. II is not
just that loyal men should fight out the battles
TO save the country from tho iniquity Of trait
ors, and then pay the damages they have
caused. China had to foot the bill with Eng
land; Mexico had to come up to the captains
office and sottle; the Swiss rebels had 10 pay
for all the dishes they brokej and about
twenty five dollars per head on nigger, and
two cents on cotton, will soon pay for edueat-
ing the Southern mind.
