land; a procession of ong-haired, whining
faced, uplifting. eyes, white-ohokered gentry,
who have been set apart and ordained to
preach Christ, and Him crucifed, but who,
like Beecher and other clerical hypocrites Of
the country, forsake the cause of Christ for
that of the niger; who think more of politics
than religion; and who turn the temples dedi-
Gated to the worship of Almighty God into
caucus-rooms and political pothouses.
On another panel we would picture the
bondbolders who pay no taxes, who ride in
their elegant carriages, who sleep in their ele-
CANT homes, who drink costly wines, who
occupy front seats at the opera, and who live
on the money wrung by radical taxation from
the honest lsborers of the land, no matter
whether they be black or white native or
foreign born. On another panel it would be
a good idea to place pictures OF the Freed
mems Bureau and of the lazy blacks of the
South, who are not capable of supporting
themselves, but who must be fed at the ex-
pense of the laborers of the North, and yet
who, by radical legislation, are made law
makers of the country, and for whom the
entire energies of the nation for the past ten
years have been eXerted.
On another panel we would represent the
profits made by the plough holders of the land
after they have been ribbed for the benefit of
the bondholders, the negroes, the standing
who grow rich as radicalism grows strong.
This panel would be the smallest of the lot,
for the profits made by these people, after
paying for the support OF the ones who fatten
upon their earnings would be SO little that
it would hardly be worth panel at all. On
another panel should be picture of Lincoln
riding over battlefield, and asking Marshal
Lamon to sing him "Dan Tucker" or some
other song, that the cries of the wounded SOL

is nothing like being jolly and joyful at all
times and under all circumstances
On another panel representation OF Mrs.
Lincoln selling her old clothes at auction.
On another panel we should have
some drunken members of the Good
and morality" party in council at
at Willard's Hotel. Or we should
have, a picture of Hiram teaching
the aborigines of the Pacific their letters or a
picture of the black scoundrels of Tennessee,
at the instigatiOn of Brownlow, numbering
inofensive woman and children there.
Hurry up the monument; built it high and
build it quickly. If you will only have it
erected i'll such manuer as will convey
to coming generations the exact character
of the so-caled martyr; if you will only give
us his true history; if you will only, on that
monument, tell just what kind of a man he
was, and how much misery he has brought
rally to the same as any man in all the land.
Let the monument be- put up. Let its base be
broad as the ruin he has wrought. Let it be
made of the skulls OF those he caused to be
slain in the crusade for cotton and negroes
but do not let it be stained with the ears of
those who weep in suffering over acts by him
and his minions committed. Do not let it be
disgraced with representation of Seward
tinkling his little bell, and sending innocent
men to the bas tiles of the land, for
that is a blot on our national fame
we would rather should be forgotten than re-
membered. And on the top of the mOnu-
ment, should its top ever be built in the place
of liberty weeping, put the bust OF some
noble wench, some dusky damsel OF Ethiopia,
whose charms have such weight with the fol
lowers of radicalism, that coming generations
may know who and what the American public
worshipped for so many years, and at sucn
cost. And there, right beside Lincoln mOnu-
ment, let the hsters of oppression and lovers
of liberty erect plain marble shaft, on which
shall be engraved the name of John Wilkes
Booth on one side, and on the other picture
of his heart-broken mother kneeing in
prayer, supplicating the government of Lin
coin for the body of her son.
