DEAR NEE Frs: - was stan ulnS at
my desk, a day or two since, writing
an article Of some importance, tat least
to me.l when Squire William entered
and told me he had seen and cOnversed
with my friend Meyers, of the BED
FORD GAZETTE.
The train of thought was broken.
The thick-cOming fancies were all dis
PEELED, and memory Immediately was
busted with the buried past. buried
more etfectually to me than others, as
there is now scarcely an interest, or
link, to connect me with it. But ''let
the dead past bury its dead ;" your
place is emphatically with the living
present. You have post in the Grand
Army of Regeneration, and this is no
time for "gentle dalliance in lady's
chamber" or for the lascivious plea
sings of the lutte. The hour demands
vigorous workers as we'll as thinkers,
when power is in the hands of men,
without moral or legal restraint, bit
terly hostile to everything that our
fathers loved, who are breaking down
every social barrier between the proud
race to whom this country belongs,
whose sacred birth-right it is, and who
cannot sell it for price without incur
ring an eternity of infamy, and the de-
graded race who have borne and will
bear, The badge of inferiOrity and SER
vitude, despite the mad efforts of the
misguided men, who now control the
Nations destinies, and who will live
in History as men recreant to God, to
Country and Humanity.
Then thepeople are at length awaken
ed, hecry of "Rights or Revolution, is
swelling on the prairies of the West,
and from then e, for some time to
come, will the men be taken, who as
the representa- YES Of iGeas originating
and sustained there, will sway this
Nation for good or evil. Let us pray
the former.
That cry is a deeply significant and
suggestive one, and woe to him who
heeds it not. Temporary political
damnation, which politicians appear
to dread more than any, or all the de-
nunciations in Holy Writ, is the least
of the evils that will affiict them.
There is truth in the old adage, that
the gods make mad, whom they intend
to destroy, as is abundantly proved by
| the declaration of Radical Senator
that Congress would soon control the
Ballot Box in all the States. Control
the States, indeed! Why, you can hear
the slogan sounding now, that shall be
the coronach of the "God and mOrali-
! ty," "loil," nigger-lOving crew who
strut and swe!ter in the capitol, clothed
in corruption, reeking with innocent
| blood, and drunken with the wine of
| abominatiOn. Before the specified
| FIVE wears of the "loiI" Senator, the
whole crew will have been scourged
from the Capitol and will have called
| upon rocks and mountains to hide them
| from the scOrn and Indignation of an
outraged people. May God in his
| goodness avert the storm of blOodshed
and ruin, the fearful retribution, into
which these men are So madly goading
long suffering people.
| The old Know Nothing leaders, in
disguise, fresh from prosecuting and
numbering ore class of our citizens,
! have abandoned their old incendiary
cry, the gathering cry of the Church
burners, america for Americans" F"
and are now shouting another, eqaulIy
as specious, as damnable-"A America
| for the Africans" Oh, worse than fool
ish! The specious cries, Rebellion" "
Treason" "LOilty," will no longer
avail you. The brass on Grants coat,
! in StantOn'S cheek, cannot save yOu.-
| The worn out twaddle of the last seven
years, is impotent for political effect
and stripped of your false colors OF
. patriotism and humanity, you will be
turned out to meet the scOrn of all
good men, andthe erevilings, mayhap the
torturing, of the bad. For your servile
tools who have hunted to the death so
MANY true men, who burned and mob
! bed, and exulted in the DEVILS work
YOU set for them, will burn and rend
YOU. as the dogs did Jezebel and MiLl
employ the lessons you taught them, toT
