GRANTS INTERNAL CAMPAIGN.
The 6endishness of the spirit Of the present
Mongrel campaign, exceeds all comprehen.
sion. The human mind stands aghast at it
Such spite, such lies, such malice, such stud
led and persistent disregard to the common
decency of even the most british Of men
appaIs the imagination! The murder of 9
million of .onr.ow race, the anguish of tens
of thousands. Of widows. and hundreds o.
thousands Of orphans, seems not in the leas!
to have appeased its terrible appetite fol
slaughter and misery" Senator Wilson;in 8
late speech, at Bangor, which. the Tribune
published, as "am most telling campaign doc
ument" had not one single word looking tl
the paciGcation of the public mind, or thff
restoration of. fraternal relations between the
States of this Union.. The burden of. bis
theme was "rebelion," g disloyalty," and the
spirit Of his language was bitter, denunciato-
~, ard full of barbarous passion and hatred
No devil, hot from the nfernai:regions, could
have made. a. more brutal harangue. With
his back square against every proposition fol
the restoration Of fraternity, he stood looking
at, and gloating over the fields Of blood, cry
ing more more! And this is the temper o.
the whole campaign Are then the doors q
the temple of war never to be closed? MOI
while the Mongrel-7party is in power. The
dungeon, fires Of its-sbosom can feedonly on
the passions of hatred and revenge Peac!
is death to it. And:to get peace the people
must kiAit. And if they do not kill tiff 8
sudden end is not put to its malicious, blood:
Inspiring reign, nothing can save our countrJ
from q conflict more terrible than the world
has. witnessed in century. Indeed, it cannoi
be edisguised that. the programme ofthe ultra
Nongrels is to stir up riot, and bloodshed in
the South on the eve of the Presidential elec
ton, az campaign dodge for firing the
northern heart, It's fnel fer ".fring the
northern hesrtn has always been some fresh
batch Of. devilish lies. Its last batch is, thai
the negroes are not safe. froin the cruel de-
signs Of the southern people. And to give
color to the lie, ost:persstont plot is going
on to provoke riots in the South few day'
before the election, and-st then placard the
North with posters and hsndbills about the
g, fresh breaking out Of Tie reOetfon - Bu'
alas for these devils in the'human form; the
peaceable spirit of the white people Of tbt
South greatly embarrasses them. So they
have to push at once at the barbarous IN
-stincts of the negroes as the only hope OF in.
flaming riot and bloodshed. Listen to thefol
lowing words ola carpet -hagser named Whit
.emore, q recently elected South Carolina
member OF Congress from Massachusetts =
g The white population.o of this country ought
to be destroyed, and must be destroyed" A
negro member Of the Legislature, another
Massachusetts carpet bagger, caught the spirit
of his white ally, and declared. that the only
way. 10 make the freedom Of the ".colored
people, safe was to skill the Democrats Il G..
the whites), and bury them face downwards
so deep that even Gabriel's trumpet won't
bring dem up at the resurrection" "Rev.'
William johnson, another. member. OF. the
South Carolina Legislature, from the State Of
Massachusetts, told the negroes that if the
Democratic party succeeded "they would ali
be put down in dark hole, and never be al
lowed to SEQ the light of day any more"-
(cries of ".hear dat" see dat" from nun
dreds Of uptprned mouths). The Hon." r.
Elliot, another member from Massachusetts
exclaimed; Remember that We have told
you 10 put on your swords, and prepare to
fight, tor you can take the land, and it shall
be yours" (Cries all over the house, " Yes
dat's the ting We'll doneit to 'em.")
Such are the missionaries of peace" which
the Grant party is sending South at this time
1t will be q miracle if they do not succeed il
rousing the barbarous instincts Of he.negroes
to enact over again the bloody horrors Of Sar
Domingo. But if they do, what then2 W.
advise the Grant iiends, here in the North, tc
ponder well this question. For every droI
of white blood they succeed in shedding they
will be called upon 10 answer long before
they succeed in reaching the Judgment seal
of Christ. If they accomplish their hellisi
purpose, the vengeance of the white race vii
fall upon the real. authors of the butchery
rather than upon the blacks whom they have
used as their tools. Then we affectionately
advise Beecher, Sumner and Greeley t
" stand from under" -"
