Did you ever pass through corn held
where cookies had been allowed to goto seed,
or travel through burlock patch If so,
you have emerged uron the beaten path or
hard road, with hund .els of little pointed
seeds of pestiferous weed clingng to your
garments, or masses of burs sticking them.
Thus the South has emerged from the
smoke of battle, the fiery trial of war, the
blood and havoc Of terrible civil strife, to
find that here and there a pestiient and mis-
chief making wretch has located in its bord
ers to rekindle the fame of passion, reopen
the fast healing wounds, and play traitor to
the interests and thoughts of its people.
Generally they are to be found on the out
skirts of the States, or sheltering beneath
the power of some odious and hated mon
ster, ike Brownlow, pandering to the beast
illness Of the loathed and abhorred wretch,
while filling their own purses
There are few men of this description
publishing newspapers at the South, gener-
ally character,ess and worthle: devils, who
hope in prospective martyrdom to reap the
same financial success which once crowned
Parson Brownlow' little experiment in that
line.
One of this sort has come under our no.
tice lately, his name is v Dell, which rhymes
nicely with shot helF' and his location Fort
Smith, Ark wherehe is publishing the Ne,o
Era He is a red-headed Dutchman, who
like Shurz, the heroic platterheaded blum
derer, left his country for his country's
good, and located in Arkansas to advocate
certain Red Republican, Fou!ieristic, Jaco-
binical ideas, a glimmering Of which had
found their way through the cracks of his
shallow pate and set him to buzzing about
like a bundle bee on a window pane. Living
among Southern men he to-day runs Union
League at that place is secretly plotting
against the peace and goodorder of the COM
munity in which he resides and vents his
rage and hatred weakly against Mr. johnson
and all the people Of the South who do not
initiate Brownlow, CAN'T, and Jack Hamil
ton The people thereabouts at least the
decent portion of them. look upon this sneak
ing owner of Dutch red-head with a5hor-
renee, loathe his presence, and treat him
with the utmost contempt.
Recently he saw fit to devote a quarter of
a column OF his space to Brick Pomeroy,
from whose paper it appears, most of the
respectable journals OF Arkansas, are large
ly quoting He gives quotation from the
DEMOCRAT, illustrative of Brick :, style,
and accuses him of stealing cotton, silver
and mules on shares ~
Now, Dell, you dunderheaded, niger
Drained. Atolition-souled liar, we haven't
time TO waste words with such two legged
mule as you are besides you are not worth
it-and a gentleman of intelligence and char
acter gains nothing by kicking such tool OF
the Rump as you are out Of his way. Try
and learn u little decency, become senIi-civi-
Iizcd, give up consorting with niggers, and
perhaps In time you may become worthy to
live in respectable community and Associate
with white men. Ortherwise, il you CON
tinue your meddling, sneaking, low, dirty
ways, the Union League of Fort Smith may
be one day minus member, the Ne,0 Era
short of = Dell, and Heii's population it,
creased ly the importation from Western
Arkansas of one red-headel Dutchman--
La Crosse Democrat.
