Democracy. As specimen of the style and
teachings of this great apostle of the I" unter-
rifed, . we give below his homly on the occa-
sion of the anniversary of the murder of
President Lincoln, by the assassin Booth.
The article-a leading editorial in the Demo-
crat of April Dist, is headed,
THE WHITE MANS EMANCIPATION.
Three years ago to-day, there passed from
earth to glory-or somewhere, the soul of
one ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the first reigning
JcspOt upon the free soil of America.
In the five dark years Of the obscene LIN
coins rule, this country-PRoUD AMERICA
has been dragged from among the leading
nations of the world, and come TO be pitied
and dcspised by all.
This vile Internationally placed in
power-suppressed that freedom Of speech
and of the press that had existed since the
Declaration of Independence, and was one of
tine proudest boasts of Americans every
where. Men who were not favorable to the
hellish policy Of the clown were taken from
public and private life and shut in from the
world, their families and the enjoyment of
political bastile. all without charge or trial,
where many died-murdered by Abraham
LincOLn-whiIe others were bereft of reason,
returned to friends and relatives raving ma
MACS, doomed only to exc out blank exis-
tonce at some mad house, while an outraged
people could make no resistance.
When we look back over this record of
the heartless and bloody achievements of a
worse than NERO when we think of all the
murders, the crimes and Outrages that have
been committed by ABRAHAM LINCOLN; when
we look ahead and the ruin that is
staring the face; the mountains of
debt we can never get over the destruction
of business and the scattering of society
the murders, robberies, and thousands of
untold crimes that are daily and nightly
committed, as the result of the teachings of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN and his pimps, do you
blame us for denouncing him as tiend. iii
only to reign with his Satanic co-laborer in
hell?
Do you blame us when we say that God
was Just in sending JoHS WILKES BooTH, on
that dark Good Friday night. three years
ago, the darkest and gloomest in American
history, to strike the traitor down, and
liberate the white freemen of America from
the yoke of despot?
GoD is just.
ence at an hour when the country could no
longer bear the burden of him, and God in
his wisdom, cannot let the free people of
America. whom he had so protected and
prOspercd, long remain chatting under the
rule of any despot.
This history of the past has many warn
ings for the future.
- Treason treason - we hear you cry,
but if such things be treason, we confess it,
and beseech you to make good use of it
This day-April fifteenth-is the anniver-
sary of the emancipation of the white men
of America from the CALLING chains of JAG
obin tyranny, and, as such, will not long
hence be celebrated. On each recurrence OF
this day it will be the glorious privilege of
the liberated frccmen Of America to lift their
voices, and with one accord thank God there
Is no Abraham Lincoln President now.
