The New Plan for AboIishing Slavery,
Patented by Je6. Davis.

wendell Phihps may hang his harp upon
the willows. His occupation q an sbolltionist
has gone. JEFF. Davis has entirely superseded
him. Phillips and his followers proposed to
free the slave. JEFF Davis goes much further
able bodied slaves and give them dfty acres Of
land apiece. When the abie-bo odied slaves are
free, Of course the old slaves and the infant
slaves will be worthless. We shall SEQ their
masters running away from them. No South
erner, however great bis love for the peculiar
institution, win be willing to support lot Of
deorepH old darkeys and . swarm Of negro
children in arms and clouts. Practically,
therefore, JEFF. Davis will abolish slavery We
hail him as the great abolitionist. All that the
slaves freed by Phillips could expect was six
feet Of mother earth after they starved to
death. JEFF. Davis will give them fifty acres Of
mother earth and fair chance to earn liveli.
hood. Fifty acres Of land each for three hun
dred thousand negroes amounts to fifteen mil
lions Of acres. Making allowances for cities,
mountains, rivers, swamps, lakes, rocks, bar
rens and last bitches, this will leave but little
room for any rural white population In the
seeded States. So we are to have no more
planters or plantations, as in tho olden time;
but all Rebellion is to be made present to
the blacks, and the white men are to emigrate,
60 to work for colored masters or submit to Q
premature decease.
JeG. Davis is going to free the slaves and be-
stow upon them the title deeds Of the seeded
Ct.to - scJo
encs. He feels that the sacrifice is great; but
he is prepared to make it for the cake of the
Southern confederacy. This is = highly novel
and original plan, and JEFF. Davis ought to take
out patent for 1t Immediately. 1t is cutting
of mans head to save his life 1t is pulling
out the corner stone tokeep the edihce stand
ing. N is throwing away . thing so as to keep
it. 1t is jumping overheard to avoid wetting.
II is leaping into the Gre to escape from the
frying pan. 1t is committing suicide to get cut
Of trouble. The seeded States founced out Of
the Union because they were afraid that Lin
coin would interfere with slavery. They put
themselves under the lead Of jeff Davis, who
promised to protect slavery against the attacks
Of Yankee vandals. They have been fighting
for four years to prevent US from bringing them
back into the Union, where the awful aboli-
tionists might get another chance at slavery.
Now, after the lapse of all this time, and after
the shedding Of all this blood, presto the chief
abolitionist turns out to be JEFF. Davis himself.
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan have strip
ped him of his disguise, and the
horns, hoofs and tail Of the abolition Lucifer
are revealed. What do the Southern people
say now? Do they like Jeff. Davis any better
than they did Phillips, Greeley, Garrison,
kets any pleasanter than Sharp's rifles? Do
the shareholders prefer military orders to
newspaper arguments? They left the Union to
save slavery; will they now give up slavery
rather than come back into the Union! We
can fancy their feelings when they read about
the fifty acres apiece to be parcelled out to the
freed slaves. By their ignorance and their
prejudices they have been led into the very
trap they were most anxious to escape. Their
own favorite leaders have deluded them. They
have been spoiled by their own professed
friends. They are like the Japanese ho-ka mi
who ripped himself open because some body had
dared to insult him. Old Abe looked like an
aboltienis., and SO they ran away from him to
JEFF. Davis who rewards them by not only
abolishing slavery in toto, but by also taking
away their lands to make farms for the negroes
he frees. Poor rebels Poor confsderacy
Poor Wendell Phillips who must either hang
his harp upon the willows, or consent to play
secoud to King Jen., the only practical aboli-
ZIONIST on the American continent, and the sue
cessful rival Of the author OF that bull against
a comet, the emancipation proclamation.
THE New STATE OF NEvADA.--Talk Of the
ancient wonders Of the world What child's
play they appear compared with the wonders
Of the modern advances of civilization. Look,
for instance, upon the map and the descriptive
sketch which we publish to-day OF the new State
of Nevada, colonized from our loyal States, and
developed into the full proportions OF aState in
the midst Of this gigantic continental war, and
in the face OF this great achievement how
nonsensical will appear the monuments of
