the laws of the United States, the south.
ern rebels are perfectly bold and defiant.
To show this spirit we make The follow
ing extracts, all uttered within a few
weeks, by which our readers, democrats
included, can Judge for themselves:
| Howell Cobb of Georgia, says:
"The grinring skeletons which have
been set up in our midst as Legislators
shall be ousted by Frank Blair, whom
our party has expressly appointed for
that purpose. = Come one and
all, and let us snatch the old banner
from the dust, give it again to the breeze,
and, if needs be, to the God of battles,
and strike one more honest blow for con-
stitutional liberty = The doors
are wide open-wide enough, broad
enough to receive every white man in
Georgia, unless you should discover him
creeping and crawling under the Chicago
Platform, Upon them there should be
no mercy. They have dishonored them
selves and sought to dishonor you. AN
athematize them. Drive them from the
pale of social and political society. OH
heaven, for some blistering words, that |
may write infamy upon the forehead of
these men, that they may travel through
earth despised of all men and rejected of
heaven, scorned by the Devil himself.
They may seek their final congenial rest
ing place under the mudsills of that an
Gent institution"
The Meridian Miss Mercury, with
the Seymour and Blair colors at the head
of its columns, in flaming article in
their behalf, exclaims
With the skull and cross-bones of the
lost cause before us, we will swear that
this is a White Mans Government. We
must make the negro understand we are
the men we were when we had him in
ahjAnt bondage, and made him feel that
when torbearance ceases to be a virtue.
he has aroused a power that will control
him or destroy him"
Albert Pike of the Memphis Appeal,
counsels thus:
Young men, it is for you to bring
back these golden days. The south is
our land the north is foreign and hos
tile realm. Stand at the altar of your
country. Swear eternal hatred of it's OPP
prcssors. Swear that the day shall come
if these oppressers shall continue, when
the Susquehanna and Ohio shall be like
rivers OF fire, as they are now rivers of
blood, between your native land and
that of the northern Huns, which no
man shall attempt to cross, and live. 4
x We do not love, and will not
pretend to love that Union, though we
have agreed to obey the laws of the con-
queror. IF the old Union cannot be re-
stored, we will hope to see the south in
dependent before we die and if Jacob
inism is to become supreme in the north.
we wish there could be an impossible
wall or gulf of fire between it and our
southern states. The day will come when
the south will be Independent"
John Forsythe, of the Mobile Adver-
tiser, writes thus:
"Now, if civil war comes out of this
of political forces, the white men
Of the south cannot be worsted for war
and its terrors, in their deadliest form.
are not comparable to the evils they will
have to endure under a perpetuation of
scallawag and carpet-bag rule. And
here we may as well say that the people
Of the south do not intend to submit to
that permanent rule, result as the Presi-
ientlal election may And they have
'nly submitted to its indignities and in
'ults so far because they have been wait

The Vicksburg Times adds: .

seS. Ian d
The Petersburg (Va.) Index asserts: 4
Under our laws Virginia has right V

raltors would deny us that right and n
