Iinterposition of Congress, the laws quoted would be enforced to day. Were it not for the same causes no Republican would bt, allowed to live here an hour. In the hearts of these people there is no tOieration, ana without troops there would be neither life, liberty, nor freedom of speech. Ven geance is openly proclaimed when the troops are withdrawn, and in this connec- tion particular stress is laid upon the re- turn of the Democracy to power. i The restoration of slavery Is prophesied within five wears, through the success of the Democracy, Protesting Christians give public notice that no freedman who voted the Republican ticket need apply to them for work, or aid when starving, and freedmen are discharged from work for the same cause White .i4.l;ista;'5 of the Gospel at tend the religious meetings of the freed men and tell them 1t is unlawful to belong to the loyal league and that white mem berS of the leagues are to be arrested. Freedmen are warned by whites that there exist armed as ociations to shoot them down when the troops and the Yankees leave. All of the loyal whites are en- gagged in the work of intimidation of freed men.
 The leading Democratic organ of this state gives distinct notice that the people of Mississippi will not submit to the Congress sional plan of reconstruction, except so long as the bayonets of Federal troops are at their breasts! Other papers advise that no freedman be allowed to vote unless the ballot is thrust in the box on the point of a soldiers bayonet!
 l There are few of the evidences that these rebels are as they profess, the freed men 'sbest friends
 LANGUAGE OF SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC JOUR
 I will submit now few illustrations of the feeling existing toward southern union men, Northern settlers, and the govern ment.
 The constitutional convention having levied a tax to defray it's expenses and ap- pointed collectors, the Vicksburg Daily Times, the exponent of the violent senti- ment of the state, advised the people to ''shoot down the collectors like dogs, as they are"
 The Iuka Gazette says, ''The time will come when such dastardly devils will be kicked out of Mississippi like mangy dogs out of a reading room."
 Another says: ':The white man must be on the alert, and ready for any .emergen- cy, come when it may. It will come soon. Pick your fints, and strike not short of your aim!'
 The Jakson Clarion, the foremost Demo- cratic paper in the State, says: ''It is right to be candid and history will never record that this people tamely submitted to the rule of their former slaves They will not obey the decrees of negro gov ernment except at the point of the bayonet
 It will require a standing army to enforce such system of government in this state; and when it is withdrawn tho white people will rise up as one man to demolish it.
 The head of the Christian denominations of this State, said to the writer not many weeks since, ''Sir,I hate your government I have no personal hostility, but I hate your government" and this feeling is in- creasing. During a recent journey many friends have said to me that they ''wished the British flag were raised in our harbors in hostility, and they would sustain it.
 The Brandon Republican says:-'' Some body has sent us ''Roll of Honor,' or a list of names of Union soldiers. who died in defence of the American Union We are devilish glad our name don't appear on the roll!' The same paper says:-s'The effect of impeachment would be an instan- eous uprising of the people and the blood fest war ever recorded in history Five hundred thousand Democrats would sur round the capitol in forty-eight hours, and the radical members of Congress, together with Stanton, Grant and Chase would be swung up to the shade trees, and the whole government in the hands of constitutional authorities in less than 8 week. The soldiers of the south gave their paroles not to take up arms against the the govern ment, and they are not going to violate their oaths, but they all deny that Con- gress is the government, and If Congress attempts to overthrow the constitutional government, by deposing the President and abolishing the supreme court, hun dreds of thousands will shoulder their mus kets and march to the front!'
