NOSES THE GOVERNOR.
Naturalization Of a degraded ma


Up to the time Of his being seated in the
chair, once honored by such worthless as
u rREliVtledge. Hamilton, Allston and others)
only served to show how fatal was the
blow aimed by dominant partizanship,
against the republican principles of a
sovereign State. claiming constitutional
protection, which partizanship for any
purposes except those of "Justice" hurled
4, proud commonwealth from pinnacle
ofgrandeur, to miserable vassalage to
an ignorant, venal and besial crew.
Z TLoathBome as was the contamination
with adventures and thieves, who flock
ed as vultures over the PROSTATE State,
our people yielding 10 the arbitrament of
.iofthe sword, accepted in good faith the
} cartel of peace, and returned to rebuild
their. desolated homes. Revolving as
sSas the spectacle ofa horde of plunderers
wearing the cloak of official trust, our
brave men bent their wills in submission,
retaining only tho erect position of an
,oyerpowered yet scorning community.
And now is seen the anomalous specta-
Gle Of the superior forced by law to yield
obedience to an inferior; OF the virtuous
oppressed to the will of the vicious. OF
the possessors Of property taxed to sup
port the licentious demand of q crew re-
yelling in their nrgioO, and all tlIs under
sanction of law, which invoked again and
\ again, was deaf to the appeals of the in
jared. Then with sober judgement, and
respectful attitude an appeal was made
by the taxpayers to the general govern
menSSshich claimed the righe to do all
this; and in spite of irrefragible proofs
exhibiting charges which blot the page Of
history, our committee was remanded
back with the solnce eve can make n
citizen out of an Ashantee; but ne cannot
: protect our native citizens from the pratt
cal plunderings of those who wear the coat
ofradicalism" In other words to retain
the fat Offices at Washington the federal
head would immediate the liberties of n
State. And the counter memorialists
representing the scum of creation were
feted and wined, and the peoples COM
mittee were snubbed. All of this is in
accord with the programme of northern
idcas"Letus have neace." The thieves have
gone on from excess to excess. Kimp
ton and his financial game; Parker and
: his haul; .Whittemore, Scott and the en-
; tire List, have ben lifted to power OH the
/ 17,ink Of o senseless mass, and robbing
the State have been pushed aside for
new rivals. Moses, in turn sought the
gubernatorial chair, and against the
advice and entreaty of the white people,
hetoowas placed by an ignorant con
stituency at the head of government.
What has been his career2 Holding the
"caduceus" of cunning he was awake to
the duty of filling his Golfers; and put to
sleep with lotion of bribc the eyes of
his rivals. He was the protector and
friend of burglars, felons and murlerers,
and turned loose on the community an
army of devils whom law had sent to
prison, He was the companion of bawds,
.i,and the public funds were expended on
prostitutes and rioting. Selling the ap-
preparations of contingent funds, lie
q sqnandered it all, and then invcigled the
treasurers of the County, under the pro-
mise of pardon to shield them from the
! penalty oflaw, until his..cxcesscs impingcd
on the spoil of others he ovcrsteppcd the
mark, and his friends would clip the
