The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1873-07-16

Rev. Mr.. Brownlow claims that the
devil was the author of secession and
the Southern Confederacy. | rather
think that it was the DEVILS vicegerent
on earth, for Mr.. Brownlow himself
was the first human being to recon-
mend a Southern Confederacy. In his
zeal for slavery he wrote five filthy let
tiers of abuse to Rev. Mr.. Pryne. In
the fifth of these letters he said:
l, Sir, 'could faror an alliance ,cith France
as means OF more effectual furnishing
and starving out to the Abolitionists 81
the North. This far-seeing monarch of
the French would unite with us ON OUR
OWN TERMS, as it would afford him an
opportunity to crush the commerce and
manufacture of Old England, and make
her feel that she is dependant upon her
ancient enemy, as we'll as atone for vii
famous treatment of his illustrious un-
Gle, Napoleon Bonaparte. Dissolve the
Union, you Infamous villains, and we
shall make this proposition at once to
Louis Napoleon, a most sagacious mon
arch, and he would quarter at New Or
leans 2OO, 900 Frenchmen, and at Chesa-
peake 100000 more; we would then
command the Mississippi Valley, achip
the Northeastern States into OUR SoUTHERN
ICONFEDERACY, and we would then upon
the New England States and cause the
hurricane OF civil war to rage and sweep
from Mason and Dixon's line TO the
cod-fisheries of Maine, until we would
extinguish the last Abolition foothold
on the continent of America! Face to
face, knife to knife, steel to steel, and
pike TO pike, we would meet you, and
as we would cause you to bleed at every
pore, WE WOULD MAKE YOU REGRET, IN
THE BITTER AGNoIEs OF DEATH, that YOU
mad ever felt any concern for the Afri-
can race!
This letter was written six years be-
fore the war, and it is admitted on all
hands that Rev. Mr.. BrownIow was the
first to use the words "Southern Con-
federacy." The reverend braggadocio
did not whip the Western States into
our Southern Confederacy, but he did
cheer on the Western troops in their
work of crushing that Confederacy. He
did not fight "face to face, knife 70
knife, steel to steal and pike to pike"
against "the hell-bound party" On
the contrary, he joined that party, and
applauded them in their work of blood
aud devastation. He did not lead his
conquering rebels to the fisheries of
Cape Cod, but he clapped his hands
with joy when New England hired
Irish and Germans to desolate the land
of his birth.
The reverend blasphemer is fond of
Modoc comparisons. There was one
"Bogus Charley" in the Modoc gang,
who sang war-sopgs and danced tile
fire-dance, and-then betrayed his
leader aud his kindred to their ene-
mics. The pro-slavery renegade can
scarcely fail to see the resemblance be-
tween the traitor Indian and himself.
The whole life of this miserable crea-
ture has been a sham and lie. A
minister of the pure gospel of Christ,
he has belched forth nothing but false
hood, blasphemy and obscenity. For
quarter of q century the self-elected
champion of human bondage, he has
for twelve years travelled in loving
sympathy with "the hell bound party"
of AboIitionists. The first to suggest a
Southern Confederacy, he has been the
fiercest prosecutor Of Confederates.
Dragging of tn Q terrible things he
would do in war he skunk into bomb
proof on the strong side at the first
whistle of balls. Preaching, writing
and iecturing for twenty years that the
negro was brute, fit only for bondage,
he owes his present Senatorial hon Jrs
to negro influence. Prating all his life
about honesty, he voted for the back
salary steal and took his share Of the
stolen money.
Recreant to every trust, faithless to
every obligation, and false to every pro-
fessiOn, the foul monster in his long
career of wickedness has been true on
ly to falshood, to SANDER, to blasphe-
my, to blackening character, to black
guardism, and to w. G. BrownlOw.
