TWO MORE WARS.

The Jacobins have already inflicted
upon the American people one war,
and that the most gigantic aud de-
structive in all history, in which was
engulfed the political liberty Of the
country.
4 War Of Sections!
Their triumph in the coming elec-
tions will duplicate the public calam-
titles for which they will make them
selves responsible. 1t will precipitate
upon us two more wars, either Of
which may be more direful in its ef-
fects, upon persons and society, than
the last, and both combined prove
more pregnant with horrors than aught
which the mind can conceive, or any
age of the world has ever experienced.
4 Her Of Races!
This cannot be avoided, if the Jaco-
bins remain in power. 1t is not pos
sible for them TO enforce their policy
upon the South, without bringing into
conflict the two races, which they are
endoavering to mould into their new,
composite system ofsociety. Men may
theorize as much as they please. and
indulge in ideal speculation, forming
in Imagination the most beautiful
fabrics, and working out, upon paper,
the most harmonious and happy re-
/ suits. But when they come to encounter
hard, stubborn facts, the structure which
they havesO deity built, often falls
to the ground, carrying with it destruc-
Z ton to all the interests which it was de-
/ signed to foster and sustain. Such will
be the fact of the Jacobin negro policy
in the South. 1t aims at imposSibili-
ties. 1t encounters invincible Obsta-
cles. Itattempts what never has been
accomplished in the history of the
world, the combining in one society,
upon terms of civil and political equal
ity, two races of men, the one the
highest among all Cons creatures
known to this earth, and the other
almost the lowest, without leading to
conflict, and the determination of one
race or the the other, or worse still, the
mixing of the two, producing an order
of hybrids, pavtaking of the worst
qualities of each and the better quail
ties of neither, and ending in the low
est degradation, and the final eXtinc
tion of the mongrel breed in which
the two races have been merged.
One of these two results must neces-
sarily follow if the present order of
things is to be maintained at the South.
1t can be the former only. Such peO
pie as the men and women of the
South, can never fall so low as to be-
come mongrelized Whatever else
may happen, they Will remain distinct
and pure while they exist. Then the
case to be met, under Jacobin rule, is
one Of ofpolitical equality, and a mutual
struggle for power, between the two
races. They cannot permanently COM
bine in political parties. Rivalry and
jealousy would soon produce division
and separation so as to make it a queS-
tion of race against race. is already
operating in that way at the South
Notwithstanding the great body of the
Southern whites have opposed the en-
franchisement of the negroes, and the
formation of the reconstruction govern
ments, constituting q distinct, white
mans party of themselves, while only
a meagre minority of whites, including
those who have gone from the North,
have joined with the blacks, in making
up the dominant poll tical parties in
those States, already, in the face of
formidable political organization of
white men, ready to take advantage
of their divisions, the mixed party of
whites and blacks, slosing its cohesion,
the whites wanting all the offices, and
the blacks demanding their share, and
the consequence is that the blacks are
separating themselves from their car
pet-bag and scalawag associates, and
resolving to claim all the offices for
their own race, and no longer be used
as tools by these white renegades and
adventures who have been protesting
friendship for them only to get Office
and power. If these white men and
black men who had combined together,
cannot remain united, and not even
the presence eff an active, vigilant, de-
termined and powerful foe, can restrain
them from quareling among them
selves, how can any one hope for any
other result than the separation of the
two races into two distinct parties,
each contending for ascendancy over
the o,her. When it comes to this the
collision cannot be far off, Then will
ensue a struggle in which one race or
the other must perish. This is what it
will come to, and all who sustain the
Jacobin party make themselves respon-
sible for the horrible consequences
which will grow out of a persistence in
