advantage of the opponents of uni

this way:

pay, will surely vote against equal
suffrage. The superiority of race
must be maintained.
"The nice young man who cheats
his washerwoman will be certain to
vote against equal suffrage. The

be vindicated!

gro equality, he simply acknowl-
edges that if the negro could vote,

" 6eSu, APAs " oO
The new association, long threat
ened, and all the while secretly or
ganized, begins at last to select ite
victims. Hardly a day passes that
we do not hear of Union men mur-
dered by the "white gentlemen" of
the South. This hell-born cabal has
its lodges in every Southern State,
and by its midnight meetings, oaths,
masks, loaded weapons, secret circu-
lars, and open violence has establish
cd a reign Of terror nearly equal to
that during tho rebellion. You have
had the praticnlars of the murder of
Col Ashburn, at his home in Georgia,
at 2 o'clock on the morning of tho
30th of March, by some of the mur-
derers belonging to these societies.
AT last the assasins have estab-
lished their camps in Washington,
and within few hours anonymous
warnings have been served upon
most Of the leading Republicans in
Congress. Judge Wade had several,
while Messrs Butler, Bingham, Ste
vens and other Managers Of Impeach-
ment have been duly admonished to
held themselves in readiness for sud.
den doom. / have seen some of these
missives, with their cabalistic let
ters, signs and sentiments, and find
them in exact accordance with the
reports of the messages sent by the
rebel fiends to the devoted patriots
further South.
You will recollect that these were
the rebel arguments before they
we're exchanged foropen war against
the government. Mr. Lincoln was
admonished to prepare for death
four years in advance of his sacrifice,
and just before he fell he was in regu.
lar receipt Of written threats. Lat
terly the system has become gener-
al. Brick Pomcroy said two months
ago, that another good democratic
Booth was ready to take the life Of
another republican obstacle. There
is not now an old rebel community
that connot boast of its X. X. OF
Kuklux lodges, with its members
sworn to murder all Union men,
white and black, who may not fly
the South or stay and vote against
the radicals.
