Much is said and harped about our nations
honor and pride, and all is made Of then
that can be, by the Tribune, which leads il
the van, believe, and other sheets, for on
destruction. Now, deny that there Is
particle Of honor among the ShyIocks which
now rule us. in the name Of the Republican
party, above that which exists among thieve,
and robbers We are this moment, as
nation, the laughing stock Of the world, fo
our financial folly and wickedsess, amount
ing to perfect madness The nations could
not believe, at first, sven their own eyes and
ears, that nation ike US, Of SO much re
puted religions and general intelligence
and with such history as our fathers con
/ terred upon US, could bs guilty of such
wickedness, meanness, madness and sucide
TO our own political body. If We die, it is
4 by our own hands: veTitable suicide, and
! one too, which may we'll sstonish the world
The crime is indeed already committed, 1. g,
the knife has already been thrust into the
national throat, but as she dies hard, 1t re.
! quires a few more thrusts Of the knife Ia
\ kill her but our butchers are unanimously
Of the opinion that she is now far beyond
ever being able TO ri,e from under their
hands, and they are legion: there Is nc
mistake as to this.
We gam nothing by Understanding the
power Of our enemies. We have absolutely
no hope but in God and the producing class
es. The powers Of earth and bell are all
against US, but God the author Of this and
all the worlds Of space, is with us, and our
Sppeal is to Him to save Us
Suppose national slavery aud destruction
was meant: anti-slavery and liberty would
be the watchword for its accomplishment, as
we everywhere behold The nation is crazy,
paralized, enchanted before this Shylock ser
pent and is just ready to enter into its nav!
In act the deglutition, or Gevouring process
has SO far progressed that there is barely life
enough to recover. w ere II not that nations
graciously die slower and harder than any
thing else, we should have been dead and
entirely beyond and past resurrection long
ago.
Is there nothing can awaken my country
men save the sound Of the clods, which
these wretches are even now, ready to cast
upon her coffin?
