Southern tongue. Let ~ examine.
By coming 10 Mexico they get rid o. shlS
black question forever. By coming to meN"

their children future bright with promise
aud full ol hope By remaining where they
are, they are compelled to hear, without the
power TO help, the cries Of men, women ana
children, who have been stricken down and
brought to grief in the Southern cause. by
remaining where they are their hard earnings
will be Nrung from them BY the Northern
tax gatherer 10 pay for their own suDlugaion'
and to reward wish pensions and receive IN
hospitals Sad asylums the very men who slew

coming to Mexico they escape the hazaras
and avoid the dangers which this attempt 70
