Abolition Treason!
To the Editors Of The Day Book:
"Fee, f, 70, FUN


"Fee, fl, 70, FUN
John Browns soul still marches on |"
And Wendell Phillips, the DEVILS
"right bower" here on earth, still
continues his crusade against the
Union, the peace and harmony of
the sections, anG agains4 what was
termed, under the Lincoln dynasty,
''the Government" 4. e., President
johnson, and Blanche, Tray and
Sweetheart, and the host of smaller
dogs trained in the Abolition leash,
are on the trail, with their noses to
the wind, occasionally giving tongue
loudly in response to their masters
Ho! tally no! tally hop
This devils imp, this hoary old
Union-hater, whose sole aim in life
seems to have been the destruction
of that Union and Government
made and framed by white men,
for the use of white men, and
whose proudest boast was that he
had lived to see them both destroy
ed, see by the papers, has been
delivering himself in Brooklyn,
lately, as follows:
"The campaign of Virginia was
fought against the representative
Lee. The present compaign is
fought against Andrew Johnson,
who leads the hoast of the Confed-
ercy. The question has shifted
from the camp into the forum; it
has shifted from the cannon into
ideas. II We have crushed South
Carolina, and now the President
means to crush Massachusetts.
Well, we accept the war. Ifhe sue
ceeds, we shall write his name
higher then that of Arnold or Burr.
for the reason which they attempt
ed and failed in, he carried +; but
we shall write it side by side with
them-the traitor that tried and
failed-if we win"
Is thisto be tolerate9 Are these
Mumbo-Jumbos, these worshippers
of black idols, these black men with
white skins, to be allowed to go in
to the temples of Cog and Magog
and out into the highways and by
ways, spovting their treason and
denouncing "the Government"
with impunity? Why, sir, it seems
to me but yesterday that men were
torn frim their families and drag
ged to loathsome prisons for daring
to question even the divinity of the
President. Stanton with his min
sions on the alert, seemed to snuff
treason in the most simple express
son and acts of men, if they turned
not toward Washington city, and
bowed themselves morning and
evening in token of their submis-
sion to him who sat upon the throne.
eau it be that tohim same Stanton
still kennels at Washington and
refuses to take notice of the other
dogs now on his master'strail hound
ing him to his very hearthstone?
Sirs, | am lover ofjustice-. equal
and exact justice to all men--of
stern retributive justice, and !
would like to see it meeted out, and
that right speedily, too, to such
men as Phillips, Stevens, Sumner,
Stanton, ct it Omne, and hope that
President johnson may have the
nerve to shake them off, drive them
from the places that now know
them, and hand them over to the
slender mercies" of that people
whom they have so annoyed and
outraged but at the same time
fear that when he does turn upon
them, he will cover before their
savage, threatening looks, and fly
the field. If he is sincere in his ex.
pressed wishes for speedy restora-
ton, let him change his Cabinet
drive out Stanton and his minions,
and thus give some earnest of the
honesty of his intentions, and the,
Democracy of the West will come
up to his support in solid phalanx
but so long as he continues to wire
out, he need expect no solid aid
from us. PAWNEE.
