The Dedging of Traitors.

see the shifts our domestic traitors resort to
to divert the people from the contemplation
Of the black pail of treason that covers them
all over-a mantle of shame! They have
Dragged and blowed about the powers of the
Southern chivalry till Dragging any longer
in that quarter, in view of the daily defeats
the rebels sustain, is but to make them the
laughing stock of the world. And as the
children of Israel sighed in the wilderness
for the flesh pots Of Egypt, so our domestic
traitors turn again to embrace and worship
their household gods, the dear niggers.-
And though the great majority of these men
are too poor to own either negro or an
ass, Except a natural inheritance they all
seem to have in the latter,) yet, before the
rebellion, their political stock in trade was
all invested in the niger, and they rung
the change on him so successfully that,
beaten at all points il. This wicked rebellion,
we find them invoking again the aid of their
tulctary gods, the negroes
The only word, however; they are capa-
BILE of artieulating, and that in very ince-
herent and distressed voice, is Abolition
Poor devils the fourteenth of April has
arrived and no doubt they feel some appre-
hension of being abolished if they manifest
their treason in an open manner; so in the
bitterness of their souls they cry Abolition.
in about the same manner, and with the
same show of common sense that the Ephe.
slams cried great is Diana, when COMPOUNDED
by argument.
One Of these poor creatures writing over
the sobriquet of ''Eno' in The Democrat of
last week, asks in pitcous whine:
"What does The Cecil Wing mean by its
course upon the negro? Is the editor com
ing out a at-tooted abolitionist Only a
short time ago he protested 20 be Demo
crat, and to hold the opinion, in common
with all Democrats, that it is not right for
Congress to interfere with slavery
Well. in the first place, The While means
to expose all traitors, whether they come
riding on the back of negro as "Eno," or
in any other shape. And in the next place, if
the writer, or any OF his class will explain
what he means by Aboltionist, he will
much oEtge and enlighten us, as well as a
great many citizens OF this county. If
"Eno' means by Democrat, such traitors
as followed the wake of John c. Brcckin.
ridge in taking sides against their country,
then we beg leave to be counted out of his
Democratic band; but if he means such
Democrats as Douglas, Dickinson, Andy
johnson and others who are in favor of
hanging traitors, then VIC have no objection
to taking hand.
And in conclusion we will say Just here,
that not a single line has ever appeared in
Tie Wing in justification Of Congress inter-
fering with slavery. We defy "Eno' or
any other of the domestic traitors who dis.
grace thcir' country, to point out any such
line in our columns. The President recon-.
mends Congress to pass resolution otler-
ing pecut'Arg' compensation to the owners
of slaves of any State, the majority of whose
citizens are in favor of abolishing slavery
i'll their States, and Congress lras passed a
resolution to that effect: We advise the
people to take the money if they can get it,
for their negroes are running away as fast
as they can. All of the slave holders we
have heard speak of the project, are in
favor Oft But the miserable poor devil.
that never owned a negro and never will be
able to own one. if they are surrounded
with slavery all the days of their lives, to
vary the notes of treason little, cry on,
Abolition, whenever they hear q negro
spoken Of The class ofpoltical scavingerS
who make use of the same unmeaning slang
that "Eno" does, are always found foremost
in testing the genuine Garrison Abolition
theory by practical results, and do not hest
tate to lend their own blood to produce a
sickly, consumptivc, pic-bald race, which
refutcs eifectually the theory that the race,
can be blended. These are the graccess
rascals you will find braying loudcst about
Abolition, and whether they understand the
theory or not it must be admitted that theil
practical refutation Of it is very conclu
