4 WAR OF RACES.

"Thcn let US prepare for 1t We sound the
note OF warning to the people and bid them he
on the alert. Preparations may be preven-
ton, but II in spite of preparations the con.
nict be prccipitatcd upon us, 1t can have but
one conclusion. The negro element In the
south Is Ike gsngrS1s upon TP,na The sGSy poll
vile war will be the signal for the cNtcrmina-
tion Of the whole race.
"No one can contemplate such a calamity as
Is now threatened US without horror, and the
civilized world will brand its authors with
eternal infsmy.
III such war must come, let 1t come
quickly. The South wants peace, and II it is
now TO be required to wade through n sea OF
blood to reach II, the sooner commenced the
sooner ended. Our white allies In Maryland
and Kentucky, not TO mention States further
North may be relied on for assistance, II we
need it,n
We take the above from the Richmond Er.

scented In Congress to distribute arms in tho
South, or among the States.
II We had not been treated to this sort OF
braVado for long series Of years from that
quarter VIC might feel disturbed, and possibly
should lose night or two Of sleep or spend SO
much time in uneasy slumbcrs, dreaming that
whole regiment of"QUdblcjums" were Mt our
doors. We have heard OF these very things
before. Long before the breaking out OF the
rebellion, and even during the time 1t was
being waged, We were given to understand
what this mighty o and valiant u white race
of the South would do with the low and cow
srdly Yankee. Lee would water his horses
in the AndroScoggin, and Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston would cspitulate to JclTer-
son Davis, and he would dictate terms to the
Northern people! Wewere told over and over
again that the South could not be conquered;

guerrilla warfare until there was not one OF
the brave race left
Time would fail US TO repeat the awful
threats which such men as him OF the Eraa-
'Ecr got or clear down to the day wkCn Lee
surrendered to Grant. JEFF. Davis fed, and

H!l that, did not do anything Of the sort.
They did not conquer the North nor estab.

did not water his horses in the AndroscoggIn
but the South did submit, Just rs they will
have to do the next time, provided they try
the question Of force against force the sccuul

rebellion ends there will not be any OF thcgt
frothy declAimers left to &C: up hlr,

As TO war OF races, we have no fears TO
the result. The colOred people are too peace
full as abody to commence any such war. l
such war comes, 1t will be FASTENED anl
pFccpltNtcd by the whites, without csus,
and without prOvocatiOR and when such
conflict 10 inaugurated It will not be q war o
races. II will not be the blacks against tht
whites nor the whites against the blacks
but 1t will be the friends Of liberty and jus
government on one side against the prom otter
