Inc hosts that III be led against US will be only
modern imitation of the sweeping lnvasions of Atta

it was intimated by some the ruian papers Of the
NC4,b and with all sincerty-that the hosts then pour
lug down from their cold barren sspPes to overrun the
sunny Southern valleys, would come back. That
this would be against The rule and precedent OF ORTIZ
hordes ia all the great historic movements OF
tions-that the IongOboards who bad once ranged as
conquerors through the orange groves OF Italy or the
wild Franks, established on the vneyard-tufted
banks of pleasant Loire, might as well be expected to
60 back to the frozen marshes of Pomeranis.
Yes, We may as we'll take this to heart it is not
merely to crush political oPpCs ion they come here it
Is merely to hang few rebel ringleaders and make
the rest of us many Yankees. All, no! The
conquered never yet raised 10 level with their
corquerors The conquered yet had property OF
his when the coDqueror once cast bis eye upon it.
Not Yankees say, but ers and tenants of Yankees
should be. Southern men would be instantly dis
armed and thereby reduced to the level Of brutes their
homes would be the seat of real nobesse of the sword
and their madeus would be held honored by the post of

there may be unable to accommodate themselves to it
they will not at first understand it, and will feel like

Black Republicans in Boston may cry out for peace
