We publish, on anothe
page, the message and procla
mation of Gen. Grant, covering
what he calls the Fifteenth
Amendment, and which, ever
he, has sense enough to Sc,
overthrows the Federal Union
and sets up a monstrosity tha
is, in fact, nameless, hut usual,
termed the "New Nation" b,
its supporters! The Fedora
Union established in 1888, anC
which, for seventy years, wa
the wonder of the earth anC
the hope of the down.troddel
millions of the Old World, was
a Union of self:governine
States on a white basis; not on
ly the best government Oh
earth, but the only government
that was in accord with the
natural order, and therefore the
will of God; and the enormous
traitors and villains who would
demoralze and ruin it, deserve
erd:tion in the next world, as
well as an unparalleled pun
ishment in this. 1t rested on
these two foundation pillars
co-equal States and q white cit
izenship, and all else explained
and defined in the written
Constitution were mere matters
of detail. This governmental
system was no accident, as
have been all other govern
ments. 1t sprung up in a "New
World" from the nature of
things, without any human ig-
norance, fraud, vanity OF ambi'
ton to neutralize or pervert it
into an instrument for the ben
eft of the few at the expense
of the many! In the Old World
society was divided into classes,
the few and the many, and gov
ernmentS were based on these
artificial foundations; and
though all were of the same
race, all white people, all crea.

tor for the same rights and the
same duties, the thing called
government, the human inven-
tions of kings, lords and com,
mons,' reduced the masses Of
their kind into mere work ami,
mails and beasts Of burden to
the favored few. Hence the
crime, misery, immortality and
degradation of innumerable
millions of men, and the copse-
quent revolutions, rel ellions
and oceans Of blood in the
blind, instructive, often,deluded
efforts of the masses towards q
better state of being!
But at last a New World
was discovered, and better still,
a new element was added to
human society, and instead of
degrading millions of their kind
into beasts of burden, for the
benefit Of kings, lords and
commons" negroes were intro
duced into the social system,
and formed a natural, heaven.
ordained basis of social order,
that permitted the utmost de.
velopement, progress and ma
terial well'being, without de-
grading any Of Gods creatures!
Men had come from the Old
World, thoroughly imbued
with the false ideas of the Eu-
ropean system, but in juxtapo-
sition with this new element,
these negroes, this subordinate
species of humanity, it neces-
sarily exploded the former, and
they became Democrats, and
formed their political institu-
tions on this basis of nature,
this eternal order fashioned by
the hand of the Infinite. How
could a man, with this natural
distinction of race before him,
presume to set up artificial dis

to the human invention Of
"kings, lords and commons?'
Thus the men of l776 organ
