THE NEW sFNNACHERIB.

The freedmen came boastfuIly down to the poll.
And his pockets we're filed with the things IL had
stole,
And the whites of his eyes shown with :err ble gee
And the scents of lis presence was awful, you see
Like the ieavings Of wararobes, at earliest day,
His cohorts appeared in shabby array:
Like the leavngs of dinner thrown out on the ground
Said cohorts at nightfall could nowhere be found.
For the ribbons OF red give themselves to the bass
And the freedmen grew frightened and pale the
passed;
Near that seductive symbol his courage was killed,
And the rage Of the club-room was suddenly stlled
Oh courage that faints at the chance of ARRAY;
Oh daring that dwindIes and wilhers awayi
Oh carpet-hass famished, and yawning for spoil
Oh passionate rilgrms-the thoroughly ''loil."

PREPARING FOR A WAR OF RACES.

The desperate adventures Who have
been admitted as Representatives Of the
Southern States in Congress, are likely
TO produce no little trouble. They are
reckless to an extent that is truly alarm
ing. and have boldly taken the initiative
in measures of revolutionary character,
Not only do they demand the Immediate
impeachment and removal of the Presi-
dent, but they have united in an effort to
arm the negroes of the South, with the
avowed purpose Of maintaining the supre-
macy of the black over the white race BY
force of arms On Thursday most ex-
citing debate on this subject took place in
the House, and the discussion was such
as to alarm even Washburne and other
Radicals. During its continuance an out
spoken fellow, DewGese. Of North Caroli
ma admitted that the negro government
could not be sustained a month except by
bayonets, and the other adventures from
the South coincded with him in that be
lief. Only one voice from the Southern
States was raised against the Infamous
proposition, Of transferring United States
arms to the hands of negroes, and the des
perste white men who are anxious to in
augurate war Of races with all lis at
tendant horrors. Mr. Boyden, of North
Carolina, strong Union man was the
only advocate of moderation from that
section. He said:
b" Mr. Speaker, am alarmed at the con-
dition of the country. 1t is proposed to
send arms to North Carolina, that the
people may use them against each other.
Great God We cannot afford to fight
each other. Keep away your arms Do
nothing to irritate our people, but do
everything in your power TO assuage and
heal the excitement there. We want no
arms. warn the House that if arms are
sent there we will be ruined We cannot
live there. II we need anything in the
way of arms, in Gods name send an army
of the United States there, but do not arm
neighbor against neighbor. There never
was a more mischievous measure than this
proposition to arm one class of our peo
pie against another"
Washburne, of Illinois, was alarmed at
the temper which the Southern adventu- !
rers exhibited He saw how much the
chances of Grant were likely to be dam
aged by the reckIessness Of these desper-
ate men, and appeared to deplore the
course which was being pursued without
having the power to check it. He urged
his party friends to act with moderation
and said:
/ tell gentlemen to beuare before they
pass THIS measure lest IL is not an imitation
to csUH Uar and iaSurrectiop an those States !
The Southern revolutionists may not be |
able 10 inangurate the contemplated war Of
races before the Presidential election, but
that it will Inevitably come unless the peo
pie of the North defeat the Radicals this
fall none can doubt. Let the people remem-
Der, when they 90 TO the polls, that the
only hope ofrestoting peace and prosperi-
ty to the country is through the triumph of
the Democratic party.
