The Meridian MISSY Mercury, with the Sey
mour and Blair colors at the head OF its
columns, in a flaming article in their behalf,
exclaims:-
with the skull and cross. bones of the lost
cause before us, we Will swear that tnis is q
White Mans Government We must make the
negro understand we are the men we were
when we had him in abject bondage, and m ahe
him feel that when forDearance ceases to be q
virtue, he has aroused po Wer that viii control
him or destroy him"
Albert Pike, of the Memphis Appeal counsels
thnE:-
"Young men, IL Il for you to bring back these
golden Gays. The South Is our land; the North
| IS fUreign and hostile realm. Stand at the
altar of your country. Swear eternal hatred OF
It's oppressors. Swear that the day shall come,

Susquehanna and Ohio shall be like rivers OF
hre as they are now rivers of blood, between
your native land and that of the Northern
Huns, which no man shall attem ut to cross

pretend 10 love that Union though we have

will be independent"
John Forsythe, of the Mobile Advertiser,
| writes thus:-
Now, If civil war comes out Of this conflict
of political forces, the white men Of the )u tn
cannot be worsted; for war and its terrors, in
evils they will have to endure under q perpetua,

here we may as well say that the people of tue
South do not intend to submit to that perma- j.

msy. And they have only submitted to its in-

and restore them to their civil rights in the No

The Vicksburg Times adds
Objection il made down this way to the en-
| dorsement of the Blair letter by few tinaid
| people on the score Of prudence, and yet it was
this idsntica letter of Frank Blair to his friend
| Colonel Broadhead, that secured the Missouri
hero the nomination for e-President. We
aUdnt just such ammunition Frank Blair uses.
| The Petersburg (Va. Inde1 asserts:-
