Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1871-02-23

Honest, hurd-hauueu sons Oh 'Gol
Hear US. Men have called, anC
still call us a "hate-crazed rebel,
o 't~raitorous lunatic,' a .malignan
ranter,' a scrack Drained croaker,
and scores of other equally cup
honious pot names. AL right
We rather like it. Let them cal
US what they please. Let them
rake their puny vocabularies, a
some of them have done, and anc
are still doing, for terms Of op-
p%robrium, to be henped upon ouI
humble head. Blessed are we
when 'loyal' scoundrels and con
servatiye' skulduggerites, revile
us, and say all manner of evil a
gainst us falsely, for the Truth, 5
sake. So prosecuted they the
prophets of old. The Savior Oi
the world wns denounced by con,
sentative Pharisees and loyal
Herodians, as de-loniac, a wine
bibber, and a glutton. CALLED
was derided as a visionary, and
FINISHED ae q beretie, for pro
claiming the great truth which
is to-day the foundation of all
physical science. Let them howl.
Fol years we have told them sol
emn, all-important truths-truths
that involve their liberties, their
honor, their property, and per
haps, their lives. They've only
jeered, abused and Knocked US.
Five years and a halt ago, we
predicted that the day was not
far distant, when plantation mig
gers should assemble to form
State Constitutions, and enact
laws, for their former masters,
the white men Of the South; and
we pointed out the only way of
escaping it. They laughed as to
scorn. The despised .frothings of
of a mad-cap boy are history t.
day. Five years ago, we sug>
gested the reliability of'colored
gentlemen being sent to Con
gress. 4 ncicnt sapA-heads, gray
haired wire>pullers, douah-f' ced
ignoramuses, and pitiful little

over the country, went into hy>

and airs his aromatic odorifer-
unsness, in the Senate of the late
United States and a squad Of
mulattoss vote with Butler,
Banks aud Bingham, in the
House. Long, long ago, in strong
earnest language, we assured the
men of the North, that if they
tamely, basely, stood by, and per
mitted the infamy of niger citi-
zenshir, Misunderstanding and
ofice-holding, thrust upon the
South, it was only a question of
time. when the same black pill
would be rammed down their un-
gullets-and rammed
by the same Congressional

Conspirators, and the same ruth,
