T. Fellow countrymcn, this crazy,
Internal, insane Radical party is dis
union party. The Radicals have al
ways acted In concert with the rebels.
No man will say that it was JEFF.
Davis or his soldiers who dissolved
the Union. 1t was the Radicals. All
the States were in the Union at the
time the rebellion exploded.
The second year of the war. my
fellow cOuntrymen, the Radicals de-
cided TO make it niger war. They
wanted to make the niger equal to
the white man, and when the war had
exploded, to fully accomplish that
end, these Internal Radicals had tried
to enforce the adoption of the Four !
teenth Article Amendment on the
people sof. the South, and strike ]
them down as If a great juggernaut
had passed I'd over them They ]
went down South with this Four-
teenth Article Amendment in one
hand and the sword Ia the other, and
said, accept this one, or We viii an
pihila6e you with the other. The |
Radicals are hypocrites; they said the
war was for the salvation of the
U1ion, but il was for the elevation of
the nigger.Iasfa lns8sia 51s $50 80

their fruits We shall know them. 7
What good fruits did the Radicals
ever produce D. That party has made
the foulest, blacklist and stinkingest |
record of any party thataeyer did ex-

! At the close of the war, my eoun-
trymen, did the Radicals go to the
people of the South with peace com,

tried to force that people to acceptit,

proposition, or execute the ten States. /

sorry as any of you can be, my fellow
citizens; for his condition has not
been bettered--its is worse Destiny
has fixed a rule that the white man
shall be master of all around and
about him. Try to mix the races, my
fellow country and see what will
come ofsit. The niger Is not like a
white man, IN any respect. Commence
at bis head ard go down to his, feet,
and you won't find anything like that
made in white man.
6 Fellow citizens, did you ever hear
of a Republican government being
established by putting baypnets be-
hind mems Bodies and punching them
up to it? Loud laughter If ever
such one was established, as soon
as the bayonets were taken away i all
fell to pieces = ? =

and Il beg to be excused.
Now, what have the Radicals done
on the financial question? First,
they issued greenbacks that paid no
interest, but that did not suit the
loyal men whoDhad money to lend on
a Shylock contract, and the next move
was to issue bonds. that were exempt.

tsay that they have made provision for,
