votes; WITsoN and other political Stig-
ginses are, with sanetimenious visages
and in oIeaginous tones preaching to the
blacks that they and the whites must
live in peace together and 70 the whites
that the North has 40 feelings Of i'll viii
towards the people Of the South. There
is a satanic malice in saying to the me-
groes, These men were for many years
your masters, and made you work for
them for nothing. They ought to pay
you. They did you immense wrong.
You ought never to vote for any Of
them,-Bat gou must try to ti0e here In
peace with Hepa.H There is an ~unctuous
hypocrisy in this mode Of exciting the
passions Of the negro, while STEVENS
Kisses in his other ear, " There shall be
eonfseation, nevertheless, and farms for
all Of you,n-that gives u a tolerably
adequate idea Of what may qualify n
for admission to the upper circles adorned
by Belial and BEELzEBUB.
The joint of Booths backbone,
through which the bullet passed aohsch
terminated hi8 h5e, is to Be exhibited IN
Washiagton.n
And the nam Of LINCOLN, and his
assassination by q fanatic, are used, as
BoorH's backbone may also be, to con-
solidate the negro vote into one brutal
mass. with which TO overwhelm eonsti-
tutionaf liberty. The exhibition Of
BooTH's backbone, insults to the Con-
federate dead, the rawlings of the rene
eqades who stabbed the South in the
back, while she defended herself against
the foe in front,-all these are ut con-
comitants Of the vulgar and swelling
~fnsoIence of WILSON, and the infamous
treaehery of the whole hypocriticAl
cabal.
The second great crime, is the offer to
the negroes, by the eonfseation bill, Of
profitable robbery as the reward and
price of votes. It is a declaration Of
war for them, against the landowners Of
the whole South. 1t is to make the
whole race hated by those with whom
they are eantingly exhorted to live in
peace. It is to make q negro be as much
/ detested as a wolf, and, initiated into the
mystetwNf viIlainy, to be in nature lit
tie better than a wolf. 1t is to SOW all
the passions of hell broadcast over he
whole land and those who do it are not
only the enemies Of those of their own
| colour and Of the deIuded and miserable
| black victims Of their yillainy but the
| enemies of the human race. The muir
| derer who counts his victims by the
score, does not half so much deserve the
fate Of TITUS OATES, the lashing at the
eart-taiI, and the halter afterwards.
When many whose ignorance was
more andacious than the rest, were ad-
mitted. with all their sordid rudiments,
to bear no mean sway in the State, what,
from the confluence of all their errors,
mischiefs and misdemeaEors, in the eyes
Of men could be expected, but confusion
| in the end?'i These value the people Of
the South, " in comparison of their W
brute will and pleasure, nc more than so
many beasts, or vermin under their feet,
/ not to be reasoned with, but to be trod
ON They /" think that all power con-
sists in outrage, all dignity in the parade
| Of insoIence - and when HENRY VIII
| SON had harangued the negroes, and
held out to them the tempting bait OF
/ eoniscation, that the land cursed with
his hateful presence might swarm with
/ hatreds, and its brooks perhaps run
| fresh again with blood, he goes, like a
suob, " topay his respects" to the South
ern Eagle of Fortress Monroe, as the
soothing Furies fOeked round PRONE
THEEs chained on Caucasus. Since when
have " traitors become worthy to re-
ceive visits from loyal SenatOrs5
The promise Of confisestion is an i'm
mesa crime, because to hold out to the
negroes the lures and brides of an agra
rian law is to complete that demoraliza-
ton which the right of suffrage begins.
Tempted by it, in restless expectancy OF
an estate not earned by toll, but given
him as a gratuity, taught to consider the
whites among whom he lives and in
whose employment he labours, as bis
natural enemies, Philistines and Am
monites whom it is laudable to despoil,
il is impossible that be should not be
dissatisfied with his position as a la
bourer, and become a worthless, de-
bauched, dishonest, thieving drone. II
would have been by far more merciful to
exterminate the miserable rae by poison
or other swift manner Of death, than to
curse them with the right to vote, and
corrupt them by the rascally bride Of
cOnfseatisn.
