This is the style in which this unfinching
supporter of Blair and Seymour proposes to
inaugurate peace after the election OF those
worthy gentlemen. 1t will be indeed a peace
which surpasseth all understanding
1t appears that this Alabama paper, which is
ready to hang "any Grant negro who may
"be found at the propitiOus moment" has not
the least objection to Blair and Seymour ne
groes, as witness the following ailectionate adj
vertisement printed in its columns:
SEYMOUR AND BLAIR BARBECUE AND PUBLIC SPEAKING!
At the University grounds near the city or tuscaloosa
on Saturday the 18th of September 1863 Every body IN
yited both white and black. Persons wishing TO sno-
scribe either money provisions viii please call Oh Johh
Glascock esq.
This is an odd way of sweeping negroism
"from off the face of the earth," which, IN
another place, II. Randolph, Editor, threatens
to do "with the swiftness of velOcipede and
"with the violence of tornado" These slight
inconsistencies occur in the very same issue.
In one part of the paper the negro is invited
to come to a Seymour barbecue and to par
take freely of roast pig and whisky; and cheek
10y jowl with this hospitable overture Is
threat to sweep all Blacks from of the face
"of the earth.n This is to welcome the coming
and speed the parting guest with vengeance
In one column The Monitor says: "We
" contend that White men must rule America;
"and whilst willing to have negroes protected
" from cruelty and injustice, we at the same
" time are not willing TO place them on foot
" ing, political or social, with the descendants
" of Adam" In another column, " "Everbody Is
"invited, both Black and White" to attend Il
Blair and Seymour Barbecue! Unfortunately,
" the five negroes" who were hung in Colbert
County, "for making threats against the
Whites were not able to be present mt the
Tuscaloosa Barbecue to swell the exultant,
heaven-reaching shout for Blair and Seymour
The prudent artisan named in the following
paragraph from The Monitor was no doubt
present and hollcrcd" for Blair and Seymour
enthusiastically:
"JrfY NoRRIs-Makes the pretticst and best boot we
ever lie goes FOR the scy mour ana Blair ticket ana
is every way orthy OF patronage"
We do not know that it is necessary to
give any further extracts from this lovely and
amiable Seymour publication, although VIC
might continue them ut considerable length
from the material before us The World, on
the 30th ult., was kind enough to crltcise,
with its usual suayity, what it was pleased to
call The TRIBUNE's manufacture of Rebel
"outrages,1 and to laugh at our dreadful
"stores of murder and rebellioD,' which 1t
termed contributions to popular misinform-
"ation.r With the view of promoting the
daily recreations of this facctious journal, we
have ventured upon the foregoing extracts
from "A Southern newspaper devoted TO the
cause of Mr. Seymour. We trust that we
have thus improved upon The Worlds advice
to US, "to 90 back TO our own files, and
reproduce the Kansas bloody shirts of 1SjG'
The Tuscaloosa Monitor (3lair and Seymour
must be much better authority than THE
TRIBUNE can pretend to be in the Office of
Tie World.
