scoundrels, all the strong-minded fe-
males, drunken despots, Africa and the
devil on your side, 1t is highly probable
that you w~ool-wagon will roll on
in triumphs-painfully probable,
unless some prOvidentiai break
down or blow-up occurs, that,
with our shirts rent, ashes IN our
heads, and our thumbs in our mouths,
we shall ere long have to stand by and
see our noble states dragged into the pits
YOU have digged for them, "recon-
structed" nOleRs U0LeHs, on your "
terms. Yes, it is agoniZingly probable
that Notwithstanding all our efforts to
prevent il, might will q C more prevail
over right, and we be compelled to sub
NIT to your last huge abOminatiOnal
masterpiece, the ne Plus ultra Of Puritan
hypocrisy, fanaticism, brutality, hatred
and revenge, the ultima thule Of can't
ing bigotry and grinding, murderous,
whole people crushing villainy. But,
mark you! il we do have TO yield; if
you succeed in carrying out your horror
fraught designs, finish your work Of
infamy, gather your tawny conventions,
frame your n~egro-raising, white-man-
souelehing, unconstitutional "coustitu-
tions,U and force the whole iend-hatched
scheme upoa US, Pm then, forthwith and
forever, in favor not only Of accepting
the situation" but of running clear away
with it. I'm in favor Of seizing
the bit between our teeth, and giving
YOU a Gilpin-like ride that will only
end in breaking your Internal necks.
Pm from that black hour as ardent a
eolsboreF as your ravingest madness
could desire. Pm for forcing a reaction
against you, by carrying your atrOcious
doctrines TO their utmost limits, stretch
ing them till they crack. I'm for rum
ming yOur sanity ideas into the ground,
and YOU with them for showing your
demoniac undertakings through, even at
the risk Of showing the country to the
-sinner-broiling L" father o flies," and
Of radicalism. ThencefOrwsTd be my
goddess Of liberty a niger wench, a hell
scorched ravens wing her plume, and
pOlecat essence her perfume. No genu-
Inc white man would survive the dis
grace Of being sent to sit beside Wilson
and Chandler in the senate, OF Stevens
and Butler in the house. Aud as for
those vile creatures whose blsckness the
