for breaches Aud the bible informs US that the
granting of wicked requests is one of the methods
selected by Omnipotence to punish sinners who

( If the south desired negro suffrage to-day, the
radicals would violently oppose it tomorrow
And it strikes US that the South could nflict no

that brings him in contact with radical. 1t is
high time that this negro mania had come to an end
and we propose to bring up negroes even as Moses

Pharaoh, shall grow soft and cry for mercy. We
would place negroes in the cabinet and on the
bench Of the Supreme Court by the side of Chief
Justice Chase. We claim for them the right
