When that time comes, Memphis will b.
illuminated by the smiling faces and bril-.
liant eyes of the graceful and accomplish

erty, of Darkness and Dahomy. True
our State Constitution and laws, like those
OF Illinois and other loyal States, will not
permit free negroes to come within our
State, nor enfranchised slaves to remain
there; but from necessity, or as high Off
cial expresses it, "from the ecnecessitate rex
of the thing" they will no doubt be permit.

You should by all means pass resolu

and town lots as are not needed for our col.
ored brethren to our Christian friends of
the North who desire to live among their
colored friends, particularly to that nu-
merous and respectable class who think
that both races will be improved by a
cross of the Anglo-Saxon upon the pure
Guinea. "When this cruel war is over,''
how our Psalm-singing brethren from the
Church Of the Puritans would enjoy a
Confederate farm upon Big Black, the
Red river, the Arkansas or Ponchartrain /!
When the rebels are disarlned how meek
and lowly, docile and penitent they will

1t is true, they cite the example Of Ven
dee; which, in area, is only about one
fortieth part of France. There, we admit,
the peasantry believed their religion was
endangered, and history records that they
defeated six or seven of the best appoint
ted armies which the French republic, in
that warlike age, could hurl against them.
1t is also true that afterwards, when Car
not was made Minister of War, he quieted
the people by assuring them they Should
be undisturbed in their religious faith
These mischievous fault6nders, to give
further force to their insidious assaults
upon our worthy President, point also to
Poland, in which the fires Of rebellion are
ever burning, but they forget that the
Gar of all the "Russias is in all RESPECTS
inferior to our model President, and is
wholly Ignorant of the true means of qui-
citing disaffected people. 1t never oc:
Cured to the aforesaid Gar that, to
squelch a rebellion effectually, the cause
must be, removed. Had he studied the
history Of rebellions in this country, he
would have discovered that we always as
certained the cause, the evil, the sin,
which gave a pretext to the insurgents.
For example During the administration
Of General Washington a portion Of the
people Of Pennsylvania got up rebellion

that day determined to strike at the

The result is that the people. of that
noble Commonwealth have ever since es-
chewed whisky and turned their attention
to contracts. Nothing is now known in

ries Of "old rye' to the junior members If
his Cabinet, it is well known that the
sight Of bottle of pure Monongahela was
as repulsive to his nature as ice water to
a mad dog. Subsequently,, while General
jackson was President the people Of
South Carolina revolted against taxation,
because some demagogues called it high
tariff, and asserted that the monster "stoie
fmoney from their unconscious pockets"
The rebellion, however, was lsabjugated
