and many others.
Six or seven Of these men, and no
more VIC believe, were in the Confeder-
ate army, and the man who says they
arc not pcaceable citizens unless provo
ked by the grossest insult, dare not tell
any one of them as much. Ono OF
them is ~ourself, three Of them are law
yers obeying as yell as pra:ticing the
law, one q minister, m a druggist, and
the other a merchant. The others arc
peaceablc, heightened, worthy citizens,
But they are not niggers, and we do
hope they will never so far forget the
evidences of superiority God has stamp
ed upon them physically and mentally
as to sell their souls for Office, or con-
nive with Jacobinism in order to get a
certificate to vote.
As to the unoiTending colored mar
being knocked down, this is the first
we have heard of it, and every II in
this town of responsibility will say it is
false. AS to the "sixth man in the list
meaning Wiley S. Embry-Mm IS a
lie, and Mr.. Embry ought to demand
the author of the Press and Times, in
order to prosecution for libel. Mr.
Embry was in his store all day, and
had no words with any one. at least, Of
an Ill nature.
But why should we consume space
and time in writing about these Sian.
ders upon our pcople2 We are sim
ply warning against the stock in trade
of the Jacobins. They keep up their
party by slanlering and misrcprcsent'
ing the whole Southern people. They
hate the negro even while they call him
"coIored BROTHER" and ALLEVIATE from
him the feelings of his best friends
the only ones who will ever save hin
from starvation unless the government,
intends cternally to feed anu clothe
him and tax the poor white man in or
der to do So. We could tell some sig
n%ifcant things said to us by leading
Radicals of this county concerning tho
negro, but Cui Bono! Truth is no
what they want. The Devil lives OF
falschood, and if the men who are
running this country, who are keeping
down all feelings of love for that coun

on us-if they are notdcyils, according
to our belief Of the requisites necessary
to constitute a most thorough and com

Inexperienced, and hell is all myth
a mere bug bear to brighten children
with. Why, gentlemen and we dc
not say there arc not some few gentle
men in the Radical party, though pre-
cious few, God knows!-what do you
mean by this eternal persecution? dc
you honestly think you can make III
good Union men by such course? Il
