The POvyeShiCk Democracy.

The colored Democracy Of the north
part Of powshick Go. bordering our own
held a meeting on the 18th insi. and
passed a set Of eleven resolutions,
BLACK" or "negro'' was mixed up in
the first nine of them. The Democracy
of that county must certainly he in the
very last stages Of NEGRO on the brain
when they get the negro so thickly
mixed up with everything they say.
We give two of their resolutions:
Resolcea, That should any neighbor
be so unmindfua Of his own welfare as
to hire or harbor any negro that We
viii withdraw all fellowship from such
neighbor."
"Isesolced, That we are determined
to keep out the negroes from this spot
Of Poweshick county, Iowa, by moral
suasion, if possible, if not, the next re.
sort will be something else"
This was their sentiment appended to
their resolutions:
sThe Union forever
With all her lovely charms,
But the South we cannot conquer
just by the force Of arms"
Here we have it, That we cannot and
must not conquer the South by force of
arms, but stop the war and give them
all they ask and this their real senti
ment prefaced with "The Union for.
ever. Lying dogs they should be
turned to their vomit.
