poor rebels are kicked and cuffed,
slandcred and abused, falsifed and
riliculed, by both politicians
and ministers, therefore, far be it
from me, Ga reconstructed rebel, }
to be more base than a dog, that l
dare not yelp when kicked and cuff
ed by their polluted feet and hands.
The late elections indicate that
the next Congress will attempt our
degradation.
Then thrice welcome to the legis-
lative halls, thou modern Hercules
(Morrissey) for the foul, the un-
clean, and the mighty, have gathered
their strength there, constituting a
large mass of ungodly ambition, to
which they propose applying the
match Of fanaticism, the explosion
of which, chains the white man
down in bondage. Then I repeat it
thrice welcome Hercules! for thou
wilt chain this monster.
If my memory serves me right, a
long time ago, when thy ancestors
pathway was through all immensity
of space, he did chain two mighty
hounds.
Then ever welcome to Congress
Hercules, for it becomes thy duty,
to chain few hounds that have lost
oil sagacity Of smell, except on a
negroes trail, and the bite of which
have given this nation the hydra
phobia, SO peculiar in its nature that
the sight of water has no effect on
the victim, but rather giving it a
thirst for blood. But at the sight
of those opposed to their views and
natures, the victims fall into fits of
raving, foaming, and frothing. All

occupants, who instead of pointing
sinners to Christ, are pointing
christians to human slaughter and
bloodshcd; instead of getting up
religious revivals, are getting up
political mobs; instead Of preaching
love and mercy, preach hatred and
revenge. Then arise in thy strength

thou wilt plunge the dagger of MGR
cy, to this monsters heart, while
Justice smiles to see the crimson
flow, and humanity dances on the
soil the blood stains, while wisdom
cries, erect a funeral pile, inviting
thee, He rcules, to lay the monster
thus stricken down, thereon, while
Charity hastens to apply the funeral
torch, all dancing, while the flames
consumes this monster carcass, the
gentle zephyrs licking up the ashes,
raising above every obstacle, taking
unto themselves tornado speed,
waiting the particles to the utter
most parts of the earth, forbidding
that one particle should fall to po-
Lutte the yet living. Then will Andy

our eastern hills, each morning vel

plane gaining the loftiest pinnacle
of his meridian temple, the &C.

peerless splendor shining, will at
each of such zenith periods, look
down on nation great and prosper

mounting the dusky car Of evening,
sinking behind the western planes,
will at each evening take his leave
Of a nation great and. prosperous.
