But am now told by pragmatics who hap
pen to be powerful because they hunt in
packs, that have read this history wrong !;
that its English is old fogy :" the new era"

Fathers knew nothing. England, when She
recognized the independence of the Thirteen
States, naming each State, knew nothing. The
trainers of the Constitution knew nothing.
The authors of and sgncrs to the Declaration
of Independence knew nothing. But the
magnates of the great llottentot Party, they
assume Omnisciencc. These offspring of a
heated, sour, fermenting. foaming, drunken
mass, have given Judgment against the past

eed them fools They interpret the phrase
"all men are born free and equal to include
liottentOts, Cailres, Niggers, Balloons, Apes
and such animals! Well, | am, for one, per-
fectly agreed to this: : that such, who unfortu-
nately wear White skins, as lower themselves
to the level of the nigger are fully entitled
to claim fellowship with lIottcntots and Bab-
oons, and that they are no better. But that

this a race to be mDde to bow down to such an
abysm of degradation as forcing them to ac-

If it were possible that these recreants,
Stevens, Sumner, and their Radical horde

provision for one;;' and further, it says:

Solo has come to the bench! Yet the consort
of a Niger is excusable for such resort to
trickery. His party cannot live on the sup

white man will tender itsupport, so it is forced
to keep its miserable life and body together to
fall down and beg the down-trodden Ethiopian
to save it. His party wants to hide the stencil
of its corruption in the greater stencil of the

the registered voters of a State shall vote for
or Ggdinst a Convention. The law leaves it to
the election of the voters whether there shall

to defeat the law he was sworn to support.
But who looks for better from Hottentots.

would involve negro rule and negro suprem-

a white man should not do in order to avert
such a dire calamity? But this special petit

that the intelligent white Southern man must
