This is the style in which this unfinching
supporter of Blair and Seymour proposes to
insugurate peace after the election of those
worthy gentlemen. 1t will be indeed a peace
which surpasseth all understanding.
1t appears that this Alabama paper, which
is ready to hang "any Grant negro who may
be found at the propitious moment" has not
the least objection to Blair and Seymour
negroes, as witness the following affsctionate
advertisement printed in its columns
SEYMOUR AND BLAIR BARBACUE AND PUBLIC

Tuscaloosa, on Saturday, the 10th of September ),

This is an old way of "sweeping negroism

another place, r. Randolph, editor, threatens

inconsistencies occur in the very same issue.
In one part Of the paper the negro is invited
to come to a Seymour barbecue, and to par
take freely of roast pig and whisky; and
cheek by jowl with this hospitable overture is
threat to sweep all blacks ''from off the face
of the earth" This is to welcome the coming
and speed the parting guest with vengeance.
In one column the Monitor says: "We contend
| that white men must rule America; and
whilst willing to have negroes protected from
cruelty and injustice, we at the same time are
not willing to place them on a footing, politi

In another column, Everybody is invited,
both black and white, " to attend Blair and
Seymour barbecue Unfortunately, "the five
negroes" who were hnng in Colbert county,
"for making threats against the whites, "were
not able to be present at the Tuscaloosa bar.

shout for Blair and Seymour. The prudent

We do not know that it is necessary t.
| give any further extracts from this lovely anG
amiable Seymour publication, although We
might continue them at considerable length
from the material before us. The World, OF
the 30th ultimo, was kind enough to criticize
with its usual suavity, what it was pleased tt
| call the Iribnes ''manufacture of Rebe
outrages," and to laugh at our "dreadfu
stories Of murder and rebellion" which i
termed contributions to popular misinforma
tion." With the view of promoting the daily
recreations of this facetious journal, we have
ventured upon the foregoing extracts from
Southern newspaper devoted to the cause o
Mr.. Seymour. We trust that we have thu
improved upon the Worlds advice to us, "tt
60 back to our own files, and reproduce tn,
Kansas bloody shirts of 1856" The Tusca
loosa Monitor (Blair and Seymour) must b.
much better authority than the Tribune cal
pretend to be in the Office of the World.
