A Kentueian On Negro-Loring.


Col. Leonidas Mctcalf it will be recollected,
was challenged, not long since, by a rampant
Secessi0nist 10 mortal combat, ard sent him TO
The traitors heaven, lately made a speech to
the Union men of Carlisle, Nicholas county,
in which he paid his respects to the admirers
of Vallandigham, South, which are peculiarly
applicable to the same class of individuals
north. Colonel Metcalf said:
Il had started 10 pay my respects to the
nigger-lovers Of the South. There has been
no election since can remember but the cry
of niger has been raised. constable, cor
oner judge or President could not be nomi-
mated but the same old tune was ground
Law after law was passed to tighten the ten
ure by which We held them. State laws, fu-
gitive laws, territorial lcgisla lures might leg
isate man TO the divil if they choose il he
had no aigger; but laws were passed 10 pre-
vent them from lcgislating on the subject of
n;ggers. A Republican Congress passed
laws TO prevent themselves from legislating on
negroes in the territories, still the cry was
more security, more concessions, until they re-
quire all to kneel to Cesler's cap, or else they
are not the Simon Buckner pure. They swear
that it is Gods institution, and that in his
sublime wisdom He instigated the trader 10
the pious calling Of catching and claiming the
wild African in the hold Of some gloomy ship,
to transport him frcsh = native hills where
his soul is in danger, to the cotton fields of
America, all for lhe glory of God and the
increase ofhis kingdom that their pursuits
aud pleasures in Africa are loalhsome to God;
but when they are transported to the cotton
fields and learned to raise six bales to the hand,
great is his reward for be nov pleaselh tie
Lord, and shall have seat in heaven; while
the traitors who have so long been protected
in making black angels, quietly pocket the
proceeds of the cotton. TO all this you must
solemnly promise and swear, or you are an
Aboltionist. This is no joke; all this has
been preached from the pulpit By the said
sooiy -wingedEnigger satellites. They do not
stop at insulting men, but blasphemc God
with their obsequious dallying and panderiug
TO set Of corrupt, fly blown jackasses, who
cannot see any other aim or object on earth
through which pleasure or happiness can be
secured but Niger; no other rold to heaven
but a nigger's back They must have the
Missouri Compromise or they will break up
the Government. Then the Missouri Com
promise must be repealed, it amt fair; or they
win knock all the underpinuings from under
Uncle Samuel.
1.-The cry o! AbolitioDist is the whip that
is continually held up to scale the ignorant
into the emoeratic, and now the Secession
ranks. If you look at things with common
sense, you are an AboIitionist. IF you are for
the country and for the majority ruling You
are an Abolitionist. 1t is time that we put
stop TO these insults. They cannot listen to
reason. The only thing that you can beat
common sense into them with is a grtea syca-
more club that will not bounce, or Il bullet
A few wholesome truths may be bitter, but
nevertheless true The accusation is very
common that the North favors amalgamation.
Now, to tell the truth and shame Old Nick, it
is practiced 10 fearful extent throughout the
South and Kentucky. Go into any of our
towns and see the different shades and coors
Jett blnck, buT and brown
Mongrell, puppy, whelp and hound.
But we viii not speak loud on this Som
body may be listening. You can know eve
ry traitor in the land as plainly as you can
your hogs, by the ear marks. They have a
password by which yoa can know them as
well in the night as in the daylime-that
word is Abolitionist. That is the sum total
Of all their arguments"
