III the North,rn Democracy choose
70 accept the lale "so-called !" amend
naents 70 the CO pItitution theyIcan do
80. but we are stll opposed TO them, ct
all times and under all circumstances.
II they choose to abandon the old,
well-tried, time-honored landmarks,
they can do 90 we will not now nor
ever follow after them. II they choose
to become Republican to defeat Repub-
licans, or Radicals to defeat Radical
ism, they can just do 80, we will none
Of It. If the Northern people are too
corrupt, too Ignorant too unfit for self
government, and must needs have a
strong Government, q Government
change from what 1t was In 1851, q
Government consolidated and central
lied ut Washington In q Congress or
President, they can Just fix 1t that
way we will spurn It and spit upon 1t
still, and call aloud upon heaven and
earth to witness the betrayal OF con-
stitutionaf liberty we will hold 1t up
and keep 1t prominently before their
eyes, that they murdered Albert Sidney
Johnston, and the hundreds Of thou
sands Of Confederates who died In the
same cause. II they say we only mean
TO quiet our own people by crying out
"dead issuesf accomplished facts"
accepting the situation" till the
Democracy can get control Of the Gov
eminent, and they will set about
changing what they pledged themselves
to acquiesce In and abide by; what we
say Is that all this Is worse than telling
lies 1t Is acting lies In the face Of the
world, and we, for one, will have notll-
ing TO do with 1t. The South Is too
pure, too patriotic, too republican, too
Democratic even, to be caught In any
such company, or Of being guilty Of
any duplicfty16r falsehood. Such logic
Is too shallow and too inconsistent to
deceive her, for her to give 1t up for
any earthly consideration whatever.
The South falls into the arms Of her
benefactor who chastens her, as loved
and loving children are chastened, but
she will commend herself to this same
great b%enefactor, by clinging OH to her
birthright Of constitutional liberty, and
neuer, NEVER, will she give 1t up or
yield 1t only with her last agonizing
expiring breath. Mover will she yield
her principles Of fidelity In the glorl-
Gus old Constitution of her fathers till
her true sons have shown to the world
that there Is a people who prefer prin-
cip,l to ~policy-that there Is q people
who would yield not only slaves and
property, land and money, but life It.
self, sooner than betray liberty. sooner
than violate q covenant, sooner than
permit her covenant violently to be
broken. Tho wealth Of Northern
Democrats, the keen sagacity and cum
ming Of Northern Democrats have con-
tributed their part TO our woes and our
misfortunes, and their cowardlce since
the war has become q proyerb, for they
profess one thing and practice another.
They tell US the amendments are
unconstitutional, being fraudulently
adopted, and then cat their own words
by crying out pitiably, ave accept the
situation" Oh, We base, cowardly,
hypocrItical Yankee Democrats! Your
pledges 10 US have boon ropes Of sand
Shall we trust you now, when you
start out with a lie In your mouth and
deceit In your hearts? 49,.
Away with your promises we Will
have none of them! Ye towards and
hypocrites! The Southern Democracy
will unite with no such a putrid mass
