And people then said Democrats must

And people then said Democrats must
conciliate.
For what.
Conciliate who?
The Abolition scoundrcls who now sit
like the nightmare on the breast of Dcmoc-
racy, won their power by refusing to con-
ciliatc.
And Democrats lost their strength by
being cowcd down!
We have nothing to repent ofexcept con-
cilliation!
liow did the Aboli,ionists conciliatc the
people?
How did the rail-splittins butFoon concil-
late them!
How did Seward, the devil of America,
conciliate!
How did Stanton conciliatc?
And how did the loyal mobs. the red
mouthed members of the God-and-morality
party, the stay-at-homc patriots, the lovers
Of the negro, the thieves, upstairs, towards,
assassins, ignoramuses, rowdics and patter
Drained minions of tyrant, who were once
in power as provost-marshals and deputies,
conciliatc!
They hung us on trces
They touched little bells and we went
to prison!
They beat our brains out with clubs!
They ostracised us in business!
They prayed God to dam us here, hence
forth and forever!
They taught their children to hate us;
they lied about us; they slandcred us; they
stole from us; they cheated us in drafts
and quotas; they stole our bounty money
they filed the country with Niger paupcrs
and bastard children; they shot at us; they
hung us; they mobbcd us; they pillaged us;
they broke us up and down in business;
they tauntcd us with cowardice: they
called us todaies, fools, traitors, towards,
and God only knows what not!
Conciliate!
Play coward. Play baby. Play nice
little boy! Play mild gentleman in Sunday
suit! The ones who have wronged, who
have ruined the people, are the ones to talk
Cancellation. not the victims of wrong, of
tyranny, of injustice, persecution, fraud
and clownish intolerancc!
Who will we conciliatc
For what should we conciliate
Had not the leading Democrats of the
nation lost their pluck, and stopped to con-
ciliate few years since, there would be
no such work as now
Had we demanded the rights but our own.
had two million Democrats of the North
stood on their muscle in 1861, and 81 and
SO and 4, there would be more men and
fewer corpscs in the land to-day.
Nice time to conciliate, when the murder
er has the knife to your heart. the thief
has both hands in your pocket. the burglar
has gained entrance to your house, when
the scducer laughs at his victim. when the
is warming his hands and cook
ing his meat by the fire he has kindled
when the assassin has attacked you on the
street when mob is at your door!
Thank God, we never tried the concilia-
ting dodge When the mob came. we faced
it, When men called us traitor. we slap
ped their faces. When towards forsook
us, we held our own. and kept the good old
banner up where we could see it at all
events
What!
Two million able bodied victims talk of
Cancellation Shame. shame, you patriots
Of America! Who are you afraid of
Without your aid, unless you hold still, it
IS impossible to chain you! If you will be
wllin: slaves you may, but we will not.
Charge home upon the Radical traitors,
the Lincolnitcs. the Stantonites. the mob
ties, the towards, robbers, insulters, muir
lercrs, assassins, bounty brokers, cotton
thieves, contract swindlers, grave robbers,
hospital plunderers, niger lovers, white
men haters. and Union separators the work
hey have done.
We'd sooner conciliate the hycna who
has his nose in the graves of our darlings,
The wolf who has robbed lis of our lambs,
The Butler who has stolen our silver, the
who has snatched our wept
one from the grave, the tyrant who is
strangling our infant, the minion of power
who poisons those he dare not fight. and
:he viper which is ready at all times to
strike his fangs into us, rather than wit
The ones who for hate, envy, spite, greed,
money, place, power and lust have broken
INTO the temple and ravished the goddess
here sleeping, while we, her chosen de-
'ende rs, were, coward-like, talking ''con-
