mind stands aehast at IL. Such spite
/ such lies, such malice, such studies
! and peFsiate1t disregard Of the com
mon decency OF even the most bra
tish of men, appals the imagination
The murder Of 4 million of our owT
race, the anguish of tens of thou
sands OF OF widows, and hundreds o
thousands Of orphans, seems not Ii
the least % have appeased It's terri

cry. Senator Wilson, in q late
speech at Bangor, which the T-i6luas
published, as "a most teiling cam.
pAign docnIneat," !" had nc one single
word looking TO the pacifeation u
the public mind, or the restoration
Of fraternal relations between the
States OF the Union. The burden ol
his theme was .'rebeIlien, - asdisIoy~
atty and che spirit of hls language
was bitter, denuneiatory, and full oil
barharOus passion and hatred. No
devil, hot from the internal regions,
could have made more brutal har-
angsie. With bis back square
against every proposition for the res-
toration OF fraternity, he stood look
ing at, and gioating over the fields
OF blood, crying more! norel Add
this Is the temper Of the whole cam
paign. Are then the doors of the
temple Of war never to be closed ?
Not while the Mongrel party In In
power. The dungeon ares of its bos-
ON can feed only on the passions Of
hatred and revenge. Peace is death
to 1t. And to get peace the
people must kill IL. And If they
do not kill tiff d sudden end il not
put to its malicious, blood inspiring
reign, nothing can save our country
from conflict more terrible than
the world has witnessed In centu-
ry. Indeed, Ii cannot be disguised
that the programme Of the ultra.
MongreIs is to stir up riot and blood
shed In the South on the eve of the
Presidential election, as campaign
dodge for Airing the northern heart.
Its fuel for ''firing the northern
heartn has always heen some fresh
batch ofdeveIish lies. Its last bztch
Is, hat the negroes are rot safe from
the cruel designs OF the Southern
people. And to give color to the lie,
most persistent plot Is going on TO
provoke riots In the South, few
days before the election, and then

these devils in the human form, the
peaceable spirit of the white people
of the South greatly cmbarrasses
them. So they have to push at once
the barbarous instincts of the negroes
as the only hope of infianling riot
and bloodshed. Listen tn the follow
ing words OF carpet-bagger named
Whittemore, recently elected
South Carolina member of Congress
from Massachusetts, 1.-THE white
population Of this country ought to
be destroyed, and must be destroy
ed" A negro member OF the Legis
latuFe, another Massachusettsrarp
bagger, caught the spirit Of his white
ally, and declared that the only way
to make the freedom of the sse8l0red
people, safe was to skill the Demo
Gratis ID. e., the whiteS1, and
bury them face downwards, so
deep that even Gabriel 3
trumpet won't bring dem up at the
resurrection. "Rev.n William
johnson, another member of the
South Carolina Legislatures, from
the State of Massachusetts, told the
negroes that If the Democratic party
succeeded "they would all be put
down in a dark hole, and never he
allowed to see the light of day any
moren-tcries of "hear dat,n 'tsee
dat" from hundreds of upturned
mouthsl. The "Ef0a." r. Elliot, an
other member from Massachusetts,
exclaimed: "Remember that we
have told you To put on your swords,
and prepare to fight, for you can
take the land, and it shall be yours -

the ting we'll done 1t TO 'em.n
Such ere the missionaries of peace
which the Grant party is sending
South at this time. twill be q mir
aele If they do not succeed In rousing
the barbaraus instincts of the ne
groes to enact aver again the bloody
horrors Of San Domingo. But If they
do, what then? We advise the
Grant flends, here in the North, to
ponder well this question. For eve
ry drop of white blood they succeed
in shedding they will be called upon
to answer long before they reach the
Judgment seat OF Christ. If they ac-
conplish their hellish purpose, the
vengeance of the white rice viii fall
upon the real authors of the busche

whom they have used as tools. Then
we affectionatsly advise Beecher,
Sumner and Greeley to "stand from
