The Jacobins and their Journal OF
Civilization.
The flarpers are very respectable
printers, four of them III Il row, and
all very pious-so pious that when
they go Ill ut the gate of Heaven, Mary
Magdalenc will fall down and worship
them. They have money, and can
buy All indifferent kind Of art and q
species of milk and watery intellect,
and these they use in the publication
of journal Of civilization" BY
this they mean niggcr civilization.
That they propose to uphold and de-
vclop ut any and every expense to the
country. Pretending to care for the
national credit, they would double the
national debt rather than not give
every nigger Il vote; ritliculing the
notion that they are Jacobins. they
would carry the country to any rx-
trcmc OF political anarchy rather than
give up their little idea. That is,
they care not Il pin for white civiliza-
ton, for the tranquility or political
welfare of the country, whenever the
national tranquility and welfare arc
put III comparison with the all-import-
ant topic OF niggcr suffrage.
This journal OF civilization declares
that there arc no fixed rules of politi-
cal right and justice that VIC arc bound
to observe. except those that apply to
the niggcr. Niggcr suffrage is dcti-
mite; everything else ''dcpcnds upon
circumstances. 1t says that the Pre-
sldent has no policy, and that there
tore there IS no party opposed to his
policy and no Jacobinis1n, and in the
next breath it indicates that it holds
the very policy that we have denounced
as J;cobinism, and intends to resist
the settlement and paciticatien of the
country by every factious means, If
that settlement does not crush the
Southern white man out Of existence
and put the niygcr in his place. We
have not wagcd war to put down rebel
lion and rc-cstahlish peace III the
Southern States, but to put down the
white man and sat up the niygcr; not
to abolish slavery, but to abolish the
stakeholder: not to wipe out the poll
teal errors OF Il people, but to wipe
out the whole vast society that held
those errors, unless that society will
go down on its knees and humble it.
self before the radicals in general and
these four pious printers in particular
These are the views of the Jo,n'nM rf
CrH:"lion. 1t is curious to observe
tho accompanimcnts that this kind of
civilization has on the other pages.
One of the illustrations of this same
lssilc includes i, view in u Broadway
concert saloon, and another l., NJ ole
CANT hrot!cl, in which the women
rival one another in the display of
their ch;lrns-thc very class OF pie
turcs that is most dcmoralizinS in the
yellow covered litcrat,lrc-th very
prints that in their yellow covers
might move the lofty Indignation of
the four pious printers all in Il row.
Since such civilization has such ac-
compartments, We do not wonder ut
the preference OF the public for Bon
ncr's LeIye,', which scllsto three times
the extent of al the Harper publica-
tlons together. Ii people want !. real
journal of civilization-a journal
whose civilization is not rotten with
cant and hypocrisy, but is healthy and
pure, and which treats the questions
OF the day in manly and vigorous
spirit, we recommend them to buy
