HORRIBLE nictui

we are grleVed-We are shocked
Our very nerves are tingling with
modification. Not only so, we fee
gloomy and respondent. Our country
is beset with a new peril A DARK
cloud hovers over its future. Thi:
land of the free and home of the
brave - this glorious government,
which was designed and organized By
our fathers exclusively for the white
man-struggling, as it has been, fol
years past, against the cohorts OF
Abolitionism, Republicanism. Union
ism, and Freedman's Bureauism-
still had hope, for it was sustained by
the great Democratic party-the white
mans party-the pure, unadulterated
Caucasian organization. No danger
of amalgamation and miscegenation
so long as the Democratic banner
foated in the breeze, and white men
alone could rally beneath its folds No
danger of the entire subversion Of our
institutions and adulteration of our
race, while there was a powerful party
to whom our daughters could patheti-
cally appeal Fathers, save us from
negro equality" ard, inspired by the
heroism derived from their chivalrous
sires, could defantly add: White
husbands or none" But, alas | alas |
the "times are out of joint" and
men have lost their reason" The
great, immutable, unadulterated and
indivisable Democratic party has be-
come defiled and tainted. Itno longer
boasts the pure Anglo-Saxon blood.
No more can we hail it as the only
genuine white mans party. By some
strange fatality it has been inoculated
with the African virus and the poison
is rapidly spreading. g Is there no
balm in Gilead; is there no physician
there p Is hope clean gone for
ever? Even so it seemeth. Our
hearts are rent with anguish. We
send out a uoaIe upon the circum-
ambient air, even as Nasty, the sue
cessful drinkest, Nasty, the p. NJ,
waleth among the hills and woods at
the Confederit X Roads, which is in
the State Of Kaintucky.
Does a sympathizing friend inquire
the occasion of this grief and des-
pondency? With melancholy finger
we point him to the following para
graphs from the Memphis Avalanche
of the 9th ultimo, copying the head
lines as we fnd them in that paper:
CoLoRED DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
TURN OUT, CoLORED MEN, AND SHOW
YOUR HANDS.
There will be a meeting of the col
ored Democrats of Shelby County. on
Saturday night, at the Law Court
room, at seven and a half o'clock.
Good, practical speakers will be on
hand to show the colored men of
Memphis the danger in which they
now stand in arraying themselves
against their white friends. Come
out, and we guarantee you will learn
something which will enlighten you
as to who are your true friends.
THE COLORED DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL.
AN ATTEMPT MADE TO BREAK UP
THE MEETING.
THEY FAIL BECAUSE THE COLORED
DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPORTED
BY THEIR WHITE
FRIENDS.
ED. SHAW, WITH HIS BAND OF ROB
BEERS, GARROTERS AND GAM
BLERs COMPELLED
TO RETIRE.
We attended the colored Demo
cratic meeting last night, determined
to see for ourselves how matters
would be conducted, and whether the
negro thieves under the lead of that
imp from Pandemonium, Ed. Shaw,
would undertake to interfere with the
proceedings. The meeting was or
derby and well conducted, aud would
have been entirely harmonious, had
not Ed. Shaw undertaken to run it in
