Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-07-18

Let as abolish the Constitution and URion
Of the Fathers"
Then the second advanced to the throne,
took the skull which he filed with blood,
drank and addressed them as follows 1" 1t
1 is not only the Constitution and the URion
| that must be abolished, but science and
thought also for science teaches men to
! know that which is not for our good, and
thought Is always ready to contend against
| force.
And all answered, let US abolish science
and thought
The third after initiating the example of
| the first two ip.drinking blood, thas spoke :
"When we have plunged white men back to
the level and brutishness of the negro by
taking from them their legal rights, science
and thought, We shall have accomplished
much but there will still remain something
else for us to do The brute has instinct and
dangerous sympathies; therefore our subjects
should net hear the voice of any other peo-
pie nor read any but abolition papers, for
| fear if one should murInur and become rest
less, another might be tempted to do the
same. Then do not let Democratic papers
be circulated among our serfs.
And they all answered, g. 1t Is good coun-
sci. Let no report come from without into
our abolition districts. Prescribe the free
dom of speech and of the press.
And the fourth also drank of thered foam
| ing blood and said We have our interests
and the people have theirs, which are di-
rectly opposed to ours. IF they write to de-
fend those interests against us how shall we
over-power them? Let us make division by
unjust legislation on the tariff and bonds not
taxed, that we may reign securely Let us
create in every State, city aad hamletan in-
terest opposed to the interest of every other
State, &c In this way all will be divided,
hate each other and not write against us.
And all replied, g 1t is good counsel Let
us divide the people and the union that we
may always rule, Unity among the States
and the people win ruin us. T"
And the fifth having twice filled the hui
man skull with blood and emptied it, said:
81 approve the measures (; they are good
abolition regulations, but insufficient For
our parposes it is well to make meR brVates
by destroying the distinctions God has made
between the races, and to frighten these
brutes, and strike terror into them by mex
orable laws and cruel punishments, if you
would not sooner or later be displaced by
them. The Reconstruction, or Destruction
Committee, or Central Directory is the
thing for US They speak and it is done, they
command and the nigger stands fast.
All answered, 8 1t is good counsel The
obstruction committee" is the prime lead
er for us.
The sixth drank blood, and said: "I ac-
knowledge the advantages to be gained by
our party from prompt, terrible and inevlta-
bic punishment. But there are heroic and
courageous souls who brave punishments.- =
Would you govern men easily, ,enervate them
by voluptuousnesS Virtue is of no use to
us it encourages eSistance let US control
the greater part of our dupes by robbing the
Treasury and raising corruption funds by
Black-niailiBg
All answered, Z" 1t is good counsel Let
us exhaust the strength and energy and cour-
age and patriotism of the people by corrupt
ing them with Green-backs.
Then the seventh crowned Abolitionists
having drank blood from the skull like the
others; said with his feet on the PROSTATE lib
erty-pole and the Constitution Down with
President johnson There is war to the
death, eternal war between him and us But
how shall we ALLEVIATE the people from him ?
It is a vain effort for US alone. What shall
we do then? Listen to me. We must by
bribery, with riches and honor and power,
gain over the professed priests of Christ
And they will command the people in the
name Of God to submit to US in everything
we NAV do and order, and the people will
believe them and obey for conscience sake !;
and hence through these bought hypocrites
we can keep up perpetual strife, contention
and ill-win and our abolition party power shall
be more stable than ever before.
And all answered, ''That is our true poll
cy. Let us gain over the Priests by corrup-
ton, for they can mostly be gained in this
way" Their suddenly the lamp which light
ed the hall was extinguished and the seven
crowned abolitionists vanished in the dark
ness MAY God grant that this may soon
be the fate Of their whole party, for they all
love darkness rather than light, because their
deeds are evil. Then voice was heard say
ing Ito good man, who, at that moment
watched for the Union and rights of the
States, and prayed for the peace of the peo-
pie, The day of deliverance approaches,
preserve the right, adore and fear not. /"
