The Second Book of Chronicles,

days, that Abraham being dead and
gathered to his fathers, Andrew
reigned in his stead.
9. And the war which had prevail
ed for many days being ended, there
was much tribulation, and the blood
suckers and preachers and harlots
were much afflicted.
3. And raising their voices, they
said, Behold, the honeycOmb of
which we have eaten has vanished, :,
and the teats we have sucked have
become dried up.
4. What shall we do, that these
good things pass not away from us,
and we become not again as lean
goatsH
5. And they sent their cunning
men and painted women into the
rcity Of the king, flat they might spy
out the weakness of his court, and
lay snares, that he might be taken
in their tolls.
6. And going thither, they clothed
themselves III mourning and lament
ed the death Of him who had reigned.
Z. (For they had thought to hood
wink the king, and hide from him
their deceit.)
8. And they cried out for ven
geance upon all those who dwelt in
the land of the south, and imputed
to them the death of the king who
had been slain.
9. Saying, Let their men and
women be slain. Draw the sword
upon the babe and the sucking; let
there none be spared from the edge
of the sword. Let the land be laid
deSolate.
10. Let thy word, @ king, lift our
brother, the nigger, to the high
placeS-let him be even as ourselves.
II. For behold, by these means
shall we bring down the copper
heads, and our glory be written upon
tablets Of brass.
II. And thou, O king, shall we
worship if thou wilt bow down and
do our will to thee shall Boxer sing
hosannas, aud Thaddeus, the Cynic,
shall praise thee.
Is. I'VE will give to thee power
and dominion; thou shall rule us
forever and thy glory shall shine like
unto mackcrel when it stinketh.'
II. But Andrew, the king, looking
upon them, perceived the malice OF
their hearts, and their lying pretcnc-
es were made manifest unto him.
-. He also saw that from the ruin
Of the land they sought riches, and
that the chief of devils had entered
into them.
1G And answering them, he said
1T is written, trust not tue yankee
when he smileth, nor the peddler of
nutmegs when he Singeth psalms.
Il. Go ye, therefore, to your fac
tories and bagnieS and convehticles,
and bring not here the notions Of the
east.
Is. Put off the weeds whcrewith
ye are clothed, for Iperceive through
your armor of hypocrisy the wicked /
ness of your hearts.
10. 'Ie have made to yourselves
friends Of the mammon of iniquity-
ve have heaped up riches in the days
of atfiiction.
20. 'Ye shall no longer through
The tempest of blood add to your
stores, for behold the night tleeth and
he dawn of common sense draweth
nigh. +,
n. Il have sworn that the cove
lant of our fathers shall be kept un-
and behold the yankee and ,
hidden traitor shall not lay his hand
lpon the law. I
22. The murders which We counsel
will not do, nor shall your deceitful
YoldS lead me 70 the WOrShiD of
Obi the god OF the nigger. i

passed away, and the blather of cow i

which is not yours to give, and like Il
INTO him shall ye fail in your guile t
