Really, Bill, we are surprised
There never was 80 ungrateful peo.

nabobs ID spinr-sugar to sweeten our eof-
fee, rice to eat in our puddings aud TO-
bacco to chew and squirt over meeting
house floors? Answer us Bill. And

didn't you have better horses, better
clothes, better houses, finer grounds, bet
ter furniture and more land than we hadY
We are all Christians in the North.--
We felt that all these fine things were
dragging your souls down to hell. We
didn't want you to rest in birthstone be-
ing In torment, SO we tried TO correl you
in Abraham's bosom. Abraham was q
great and good man who died some
time since, as We read of somewhere. 10
And then, Bill, you kept your niggers
too fat Gus factory operatives grew
jealous. And our girls went down there
to teach your girls something, and fell in
lcve with your boys, and forgot TO come
home, We felt that you were wicked
We didn't wapt you-tc goito hell All
the fnc. things you had werc leading you
away from salvation, so we sent Butler,
and Curtis, and Banks, and Washburn
and Steele, and Hovey, and Prentiss, and
Hulburt, and several of the elect Of our
christian churches down there to win you
out of the jaws of hell by Withdrawing
your fine furniture, such as pianos, books
pictures, rosewood bedsteads, marble Ia
bles, silver ware, horses, cotton and such
plunder to place of safety!
You were wrong to engage in war
very wrong to do that thing. New Eng.
land alone can conquer you. Why Bill,
if you had billion of millions of dol
lars, and enough nice furniture to furnish
| all the houses in the country, New Nng
land could steal it in four years aDd Il
New England abOlitionists could not, the
Kansas saints and western children Of
christian ab6litionism could. Hav'nt we
| prayed for you 10 nearly al our churches!
And bay'nt we told you better 7 You
wanted to get OFT Of The Union All,
Bill, States once in can never get out !
That is what we always told you. All
those friends oe the great martyr told
you SO. We went to war to keep you in
| We fought YOU at Antietam, Pea Ridge,
Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Fredericksburg,
| Shiloh, Mobile, Fort Donclson and the
devil only knows where, to keep you in
1tbe Union. And then wcseht christian
missionaries down there, Bill, to rescue
your yaluables and remove them north
l for safety YOU know And we burn down
houses, and We took what food youl
wives and children had-and 9 we sen,
YOUR cotton to market for you, you know
