sYNoPsis or THE Speech OF col, E. N.
= ~ "a YERGER "
| On being introduced, Col. Yerger said
| That underi Radical misrule and tyranny, 1t
| was notihis privilege to address the people
/ Of New York as fellow-citizens, but he would
call them fellow patriots-that with the
Executive pardon in his hand, under the seal
of the Constitution of the United States;
and although he had the honor to represent
on the occasion, the intelligence. manhood
and patriotism of great and gallant geople,
he in common. with 10000 citizens of Mis-
sissippi were 6stracised, and forced to bow
to the supremacyo of the black race. He had
heard the thunder Of the $4,000 majority Of
New York, it was as o loud voice rebpking
the RELENTLESS storm which had stricken the
devoted heads of q brave and noble race Of
men, who earnestly struggling for their in
dependence and failing to achieve it, were
now honest in their oaths of allegiance, and
more truly loyal than the swarms Of igno-
rant and thieving Radicals, who under the
protection of the ,.old flag were sucking
the life blood of the people of the South;
He disclosed the iniquities of the Freed,
mems Bureau, and called upon the North to-
destroy this INDUSTRIOUS engine Of oppression.
He said there was no real freedom of speech
Gin Mississippi that but yesterday Gov
ernor elected by the unanimous voice of the,
white men Of Mississippi had been arrested
and ousted of his position l,y an order from
the General of the armies of the United
States. This was idone because he openly
declared his advocacy of Democratic pripoi-
pies, thus we have the boosted freedom of
an American citizen crushed out, BY ahoth5
,er tyrannical tap upon that little bell at
Washington. FGroans for Grant. ] Fl, nm.
The speaker being interrupted BY weak
effort of three cheers for Grant. by the Radir
Gals present. said this is not the first time
the cheers of the people have been bought
by the gold of tyrants; you may Worship
this false God, If you'will, who is wreathed
with laurels that should justly adorn the
brow of another; but 1 dare to tell YOU that
he is endeay oring to pave his way to 0 throne
which once reached, he will draw the royal
purple of his regal mantle from the blood Of
patriots. [Cries Of athat's so,"'l l9irF!o
The speaker here gave detailed account
of the sufferings and deprivations of the
South, and said save me Northern Democrats
save my wife my childred.. and my pao-
pie, from the most damnable despotism, that
ever prosecuted free people. fCheefs, and
cries of I'VE will, we WILT

said, tive of the South did not come here to |
dictate or demand any man as our choice |
rive are content with the choice of the gal |
