The genial Randolph adds: "The unprecr

to give us a particular description of the

our readers at supra correctly represents the atti
tude and altitude of all foreign and domestic foes Of
our land who shall have the folly to remain down
South after the idcs of March. The contract for
hanging will be given to the negro, who, having
mounted the carpet-bagger and scalawag on the
mule that he didnt draw at the elections will tie
them to limb, and, leading the said mule from
under them over the fOrty acres of Ground that he
also didn't get will leave the vagabonds high in
mid -air, feast for anthropophagous vermiu.
"P. Sit will be seen that there is room left on
the limb for the suspension of any bad Grant negro
who may be found at the propitous moment"
After this exhilarating description, which
is very much aided 10y the wood cut above

who has discharged rascally negro from

devoted to the election of HOratio Seymour,
and which proposes after his Inauguration,
on the 4th o. March prox., to hang without
judge or jury all Republicans, including "any
bad Grant negro who may be found at the
"propitious moment"
In order to prove that these ruflians are
perfectly capable of executing the atrocities
which they recommend in public journal,
it is enough to show, by their own exultant
confessions, that they have already executed
the like. Thus, Tie -Uonitor says: give
