The mississippi Legislature.

This body has adjourned The
carpet-baggers have gone home, as
they call the counties which they
pretend to represent, there to tell
ii lbs to the cOlored people, and pant
for the time to come around when
they can again be engaged in spend
ing the money of the hard listed
yeOmanry of the land. Those who
pretend to be Republicans, but only
want to steal, and are therefore well
tcrm.,d scalaw =, will also sinh,
like rattle sna.zaS. 20 the place tl.ey
call home. Tie Conservatives, hon
est men and gentlemen, will return
t. the bosom of their families, and
to the -cOlhpaniOnslip of the virtu-
GUS AMI honest, and will explain
how difficult has been tneir task to
prevent the hungry vultures who
call themselves Republicans, from
stealing every thing they could lay
their dirty paws upon.
But for the Conservatives, the
Social Equality iniquity would have
passed. and a thousand other miser-
able thieving jobs, the offspring of
tlreblack and venal hearts and minds
Of the vile crew of foul birds who call
themselves. the Republican party.
These self same men have, by their
scOundrelism and depravity, so out
ragged decency, that even now the Re
publican party North is preparing to
utterly ignore them; and we venture
the prediction that in less than ten
years will not have rolled around
ere the United States of America
VII be controlled by the honest
m uses and their chosen representa-
tives, and that then the nest of vam-
pines, who have for five 81 six years
infested our State, will receive no
more consideration than did the
Tammany thieves at the hands of
the outraged New York people.
These plunderers have well nigh
T Tined us men and brethren, but in
g doing they have sealed their own
doom ; the people of the North, the
dominant North, feel secure in what
they denominate the fruits of victc-
~, soon Mr.. Carpet-bagger and his
plant tools, the unsuspecting igno-
rant cOlOred people, will not he
needed to keep the favorite parry
North in power, the enormities of
these men are beginning to be well
and fully known. The Northern peo-
pie are too smart to allow these
creatures TO enjoy all the plumber,
and impOverish rich country, re-
ducing the power of the nation to
pay its debts, and so forth. Elect
ions hereafter will be allowed to be
fairly conducted, and no more seoul
dlrels will be aided by those in the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the Nation, to obtain dis
o testify seats in those bodies, which
We're formerly, and should be now,
august bodies. The skies are brig hit
ening, the men of hate and passion
and heartlessness and vice are being
slowly and surely found out. The
Republican party, founded by hon
est but mistaken anti-slavery enthu-
siasts, has been captured by those
WHO formerly pretended to be of the
democratic faith, and who visited
upon that party whatever of well
merited Opprobrium it had attacheh-
ed to it; and the Summers, the
Stewards, the Chases and the Trum-
bulls, ct i'd 0Mse genus, the founders
OF the Republican party, have been
ignored by Grant, q pro-slavery
Democrat in 1861, and the Mortons,
who were opposed to the Fifteenth
Amendment in 1865. Whenever
party becomes so corrupt and lost to
principle, as to prefer its capturers
10 its illustriOus founders, then it's
death is certain. But We have di-
creased too much,-what we desire
to encourage our friends about is,
that the indications are that the
Mississippi Legislature has done its
worst, and our State has seen her
bitterest days of misfortune.
