lHid their faces in The dIst and cried
Great IS the JuggerDaut, and the joking
philosopher ID HI, true prophet" The
Joh ing philosopher selected noted Jug
gIer as his Premier; famous fnaucler
was appointed chief high priest to the
Juggernsut. The high priest commanded
tho engrayers OF the garden to ongraye
smaller gods, after the manner.of the
Spiceland molten god ; these were called
the green gods.
The following articles Of faith composed
tie JuggeTnaut creed:
lst. The God of our fathers is not pro-
gress!Ye enough therefore we will fall
doTn and worship the Juggernaut.
I'd The Gospel speaks against the evil in
cl!nations Of our hearts; therefore, we rec
ommend our olergymen tosGlect their texts
from the took written by the Yadkinite.
3D.. The Christian Gospel of Peace is
not adapted 10 our time; therefore. we|
recommend and adopt tho gospel Of Hate
and Ervy.
4lh. All truly loyal clergymen will no
longer preach Christ crucltied-but will
increasingly laud and gl0riiy the Jugger-
naut.
9th. The green gods we love with all our
soul, might and strength and our ne igh-
bors we love so well that ne desire 10 sac
rtice them 10 the juggcrnaut.
9th. II is patriotic to steal and plumber
from the Government all ~e poss ibly can
1th. An oath is form thai can be bro
ken, when convenient.
Slh. The " lower million" are a herd Of
swine. created for the benefit Of the cup

9th. The marriage tie is yoke oi bon
dago; therefore it should be abolished.
10Th. Honest labor is disgracelll; there
fore, those who toll should mingle their
blood with the inferior rnce, and thus pre-
vent their pos,eri,y from entering the
contest in the race for honor.
The joking philosopher issued n decree
commanding all persons throughout the
Garden to subscribe to the Juggernaut
creed under penalty Of being slon and
having their property divided amongst
the priests of the new god. Notwithstan-
ding all this the men Of the South contin-
ued steadGastly TO adhere TO their ancient
form of religion.
The Juggernauts resolved to enforce
their chief rulers decree.
The Southern Edenites said unto them:
4" For years your clergymeH, scrbes and
councillors have abused US, pronounciug
us unfit associates for you, aud declaring
we were burden unto you. Your minis
ters say. our Gospel is inferior TO yours
The Yadkiuite has written book in
which he threatens all manner OF evil
against us. Men high in position and
your confidence have endorsed this book
and large sums of money have been con-
ttibuted to circulate it amongst the rec-
pie. Common sense teaches us that this
book expresses the sentiments of the
Juggernaut worshippers. You declare
that we have no rights save those OF
robbers and murderers. You have sent an
emissary amongst us to murder our citi-
zens and endeavor 10 incite our bondmen
to apply the torch tn our dwellings, poison
our food and water and imbue their
hands in the blood of our wives and chill
dren. We seek no revenge for the insults
yeu have heaped upon us; but self-respect
forbids that we should continue to dwell
in yorr tents and our personal safety de-
nands that we should separate from you.
We will treat you as neighbors, but we
can no longer dwell in one common
household"
