compassion of our Democratic brethren
in a manner most terrible to see, ana IS
calculated to awaken the compassion OF
the most obdurate and hard hearted.
The latest outrage that calls for the lar
pest expenditure of ink aud the greatest
flow of language, is the Ka kiux bill
By the provisions Of this bill that staunch |
and tried friend of the Constitution, jeff
Davis, and his patriotic adherents in the
late scrimmage, are to be prevented, by
force if needs be, from enjoying the
Constitutional privilege so lately enjoyed
in all its rich variety, of killing s.nig-
gers" and carpet baggers" during their
leisure hours. OF course it is plain to all
thinking. reasoning men, that to inter !
fcre with the pastime and pleasures OF
the Southern gentleman as displayed 10
ku- Kiaxing negroes aud uor,herners, is
an outrage, an infringement Of Constitu-
tional privileges that calls for the nni-
versal condemnation of the whole world.
What right hare the htrelins soldiers Of
the Union' to poliute the Sunny South,
that land Of unadulterated freedom Of
thought and action, with their anhallowed
presence It is certainly an undeniable
fact that these negroes aud northern
@mud sills' have no right under the
Constitution of these United States to
live in or occupy any portion of the.
South uatess they belong to and oct with
the Democratic party in its ceaselcss
efforts to divide aud destroy the Union.
If, when immigratiug TO the South. they
will unite with these high-toned South~
ern gentlemen in battering down the
walls of freedom, then it is the Thing to
let them do as they please-then it is
unconstitutional to throw single enact>
ment in their way. 1t is certainly one
f'of the most ineomprehcnslble things how
this Government of ours found, in the
Constitution, any authority fer waging a
bloody war against that great and good
man, JEFF. Davis-a man who was fed
and educated, almost from the day of his
birth up to 1861, by the iberality of
this Goyernment-and his many follow
ers from the Sunny South, when the
said noble patriots only intended to over
throw and destroy the Government to
which they were indebted for all they
possessed. Will not the whole world,
when it is shown that government took
up arms and waged most terrible and
costly war to defend its life fom those
who should, by all the laws of nature and
| natures God, have been the first in its
defence, condemn as outrageous and sur
passingly wicked the conduct of such
government in thus defending itself?
And as the Government of the United
States did precisely this thing, fact
that cannot be gainsayed, does it not
follow that it is the most diabolical gov
ernment under the shining canopy of
! heaven And here comes Congress, the
lasing making power of this diabolisai
