HO Brother Democrats-there

country to rescue from ruin, fanati-
cism and the damnable grippe of New
England intolerance, priestcraft and
favored sectionalism begotten in
ignorance and nurtured with the hot
blood of innocence.
Pray forpluck ! BE men-or cow
ards. If you are Democrats and are
afraid to own your faith, sit down,
and let women take your place.
We can succeed. We can save the
country, or die in the attempt. All
we ask is this
Equality of States, or another
war.
White men to govern white men.
Equal taxation, or reputation.
Here is our Banner, and those who
like it are asked to aid us in getting
II before the people. We want the
old Constitution every State repre-
sented in Congress and the right to
regulate her own affairs United
States Bonds taxed or repudiated.
1t is cowardIy, tyrannical wrong to
keep eleven States out of the temple

an insult to Washington that niggers
must govern white men. is dam
