of the State, who are unacquainted with the
signs of the times, don't know that these
same secessionists are again attempting to

wilderings, these sccessiunists have passed
away for another secession war, though as
yet, in less degree, but more hideous and
treacherous. This new secession warfare,
has begun somewhat after the style of u
guerrilla warfare, but less honorable, by pcr-
sons in disguise, known as The Kuklux.-
This organization was formed as an appetizer
opening the bruadest way to hell and ruiA::S
but the ends intended are different to what
many even of its clan may have thought.
The anticipated and ultimate ends of the Sc
ccssionists, are first power then war. They

they could not succeed in ruling at the bal

authorities of the State to put it down, So
that they might cry aloud that the people,
were oppressed by usurpated authority.

your hands against measures that are calcu-

posterity.
How are many persons of both political
parties in the State, who are no doubt ig-
norant of the state of affairs in certain coun
ties. They are told that certain lawle-s-
ness exists; but on the other hand, they are
told that it docs not exist, which to believe
they are at loss to know. Their prejudices
should not he such as to lead them to he

should look, see. and judge for themselves
that of the many murders, assassinations,
