Mr.. Samuel Sankey, of Virginia, IS the
gentleman whose efforts to address the
public at the anti-tax meeting on Satur-
day last, were rendered unayailing by the
boots and jeers of the crowd. Determin-
ed, however, to give to the world the
sentiments with which his bosom swelled
that night, he has betaken himself to pen,
ink and paper, and, through the medium
of the Bulletin, pours himself forth in a
column of what, for the purpose of re-
view, must be considered as argument.
In order to start himself properly and
that no doubt may exist on the sound
ness of his political views, he gives his
platform of political principles. Hear
him:
Now through the voice of the press do make
my appeal TO time, justice and wisdom"
Time. Justice, and Wisdom, are here
supposed to take OFF their hats, blow their
noses, and stand by to listen
Anu ludt may NC peTIcCtlN unQerStoOu,
will just here declare my political articles of
faith; l am in favor of universal equality in hu.
man rights; l am in favor of all of
President Lincoln's proelamaiions and all of
his Administration; l am in favor of put
ting down the rebellion by force of arms, and my
motto is means equal 10 our ends !; l am in favor
OF universal and equal taxation upon every Anne
rican citizen in proportion TO his means. l may
be in error in regard to my political views, but
will not wear faces"
Now, if Time, Justice and Wisdom are
not satisfied with that platform, they are
three bloody old COpperheads, and ought
to be set to packing sand. The creed is
good; We pronounce it bully. Mr.. San
key then goes on for about "two sticks"
further, but exactly what he is driving at
not being apparent to ordinary intellect,
We skip it. The next paragraph comes at
'em in this wise:
Marvel not, good citizens; anu impressed
! with the belief that the wisdom and mercy Of our
! all wise God is being made manifest all over the
land of common country. feel that 1t is soon
to be declared truly the Land of the free and the
home Of the brave AL men were created free
and equal"
That's so, in minute; and if Mr.. San
key wants to fortify himself with author
ity on that point, We refer him to the De-
claration of Independence. The same idea
is limited at in that document, although
the words may be somewhat different.
Hush,
IAN sprang from the same stem, or parents,
and very soon all will pass fully and freely Ill
over the American states, in the full enjoyment
of equal rights. both socially ahd politically Our
sOored citizens will yet come TO US here, and when
here. they will only take upon them the manly
duties of soldier, but will also ply their manly
arm to the full development of our rich mines :;
and doubt not that they will willingly give to
the Government five dollars out Of every hun
dred which they may take out"
There's where he weakened There
where his eye got put out! He's a
"blarsted" miscegenator and that "pa-
rent stem" and political and social
equality" are too rank growth for this
rocky soil, by long shot. Consequently,
having become disguised with Mr.. Saukey,
whose original platform got US rather
stuck after him, we drop him like hot
potato. If anybody wants to read the
balance, it can all be found in last nights
Bulletin.
