leanor committed into an evidence
hat Union men are not safe; the fore.
ng upon us Of social equality bills
Without regard to the courtesy white
men have always exhibited in allowing
aides to haze Especial car set aside for
hem; the t~ampcring with corporate
lights and overthrow Of municipal
privileges; the passage Of bills o
in sin, and hate, and party prejn'
lice, and brought forth in iniquity, by
a Legislature composed Of adventu-
rers and partizans whose loyalty"
consists in their opposition to Conscr-
vatism, and who, but for the votes Of
negroes and the disfranchisemcnt
OF the major portion OF whites, would
he merged beyond hope Of extraction
into the obscurity from which the me-
phitic influence oCsin and the demands
Of grovelling party lanaticism has
brought them; the 5~quandering OF tax
es wrenchcd from those who have no
voice in the government, and in many
things a dark and foreboding future
all these trOuUlcs, and many more con-
comitants Of blind Jacobinism, we
have to mourn, and we do most heart
ly and rcvcrently bcscech the good
providence of God to manifest Itself in
some way TO bring us relief.
Already the skies have frightened in
the North and Wcst-from Maine to
the far-oif E!dorado--and hope ami
mates our breast that the season IS
about t. close for those who are
skillful only in their ability to pull
down and destroy the work Of Wash
innton and lis Immortal comDatriots.
And with Til; hope heating warm in
our breast tie Home journal finds
something, ere as the Southern States
are "sitting in cAains,' to be thankful
for. 1t is the prospect Of a 81 ccdy
downfall Of those petty tyranls who
have disregarded the Constitution OF
our fathcrs--llc dictates OF ordinary
mercy--the demands craftsmanship,
and the appeals of n brave but con-
quered and submissive people, and
condemned the teachings of the Bible
and History in order to Ideal damua-
ton round the land on all who would
not so humiliatc and belle themselves
rs TO take part in their wicked schemes.
AS the blasts Of November are now
sending the crisp leaves ~zig-zaoging to
Mother Earth, leaving to yicw the rug,
gcd and jagged angles ,hDrn Of the TO
iia.c that once concealed their dctor-
nifty, 50 will the democratic triunphs
o]freason and principle over fanaticiam
and last for power, send the tyrants
that Cypress us down to their natural
and proper Level, leaving to view OF
those to come the awful crimes of which
they were guilty IL their Lr.cr but
bloody aud hated rule. Already dc
We hear the first faint cchoing Of the
footsteps of the Hereafter as he trcads
slowly but surely along the corridors
Of Time. Such has been the faith OF
the heroes and the martyrs, the actors
and the sufferers Of every age and
cline And the time will comc-be
fore God We believe it--whcn u man
will count all other crimes as nOllght
compared to the infamy ofprrsecuting,
and robbing six millions Of brave pco
pie Other dearest, natural rights, for
the base purpose Of retaining power,
and not, as come woull say, to invest
the negro with equal rights, To do
this latter it was not necessary to rob
those who had tasted liberty and free
dom under the good old rule of the
great Democratic party. This rule is
coming again, and God be praised
Then we shall be no longer burdcned,
oppressed, bruised, misrcprcsentcd,
dislranchised, and trod under the heel
Of n military despotism established
without warrant in the Constitution,
the disregard of which has been the
Pandora's box of all our ills, and has
sent our country far into the twilight OF
night and anarchy. Then We shall
have no more murders by Brownlow's
militia, no overturning of the civil law.
no bayoncts at the polls, no quartcring
OF unlicensed troops upon us, no con.

without due process of law, no
