THE PALLADIUM.
WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 80, 1874.



Iwould only say for myself, that Al
/ cannot have hostility To those de-
luded people, the only feeling OF IN
dignation ! have IL against the white
men Who have disturbed this relation
between rs: Who have fomented dis
cord; Who have led the imaginative
negro into evil; against them, | say,
hurl the thunderbolt of your ven
geance.-Jef Davis.
The white man party is the only
salvation for the State. Show the ne
gro his place and make him keep it.
If we can't vote him down we can
knock him down, and the result will
be the same.-Westville, Miss, News.
JEFF Davis says to the South: Against
Northern white men hurl the thun
derbolt of your vengeance Nursing
and praeticing this horrible creed, the
South has grown poor. Living on
passion and hate, the South has come
to wear fierce and hungry look. In
culcating assassination, its people have
robbed themselves of all the higher
virtues of civilization. Seeking to
OUTLAW . race, they have themselves
become Outlawed. What if the ma
tives of Illinois, of Iowa, and MINES
ota were to hurl the thunderbolt of
vengeance against the carpet-bagger?
They would strike down hundreds of
thousands Of the best citizens in their
midst. We are a nation of carpet
baggers, and the States of the Missis-
sippi Valley owe their unparalleled
growth and prosperity to the steady
How OF strangers TO their borders
Carpet baggers represent the people of
these States in city councils, in legis-
lativs bodies, in the National House
of Representatives., and in the Ma
tional Senate Carpet baggers are
among the leaders in commercial cir
cles; they are mayors, governors, judg-
es. Of the nineteen (presenO Illinois
Representatives in Congress SIXTEEN
are carpet-baggers. Two of them |
were born respectively in North and
South Carolina. According to the the
Dry of JEFF Davis, the thunderbolt of |
Northern vengeance should be pro-
nounced against these men, and mask I
ed assassins should surround their !
homes and order them to leave the |
State on pain of death. Senator Rich
ard 3. Oglesby is a carpet Dagger from |
Kentucky. Senator Logan is the only |
native Of Illinois who ever represent
ed the State in the United States SEN
ate. All the long line of Senator'S who
preceded him we're carpet baggers.
stephen A. Douglas was carpet bag
ger, who, instead Of being sent to the
United States Senate, ought, from the
Southern standpoint, to have BEEN
driven from Illinois to take refuge in
his native State, Vermont The nine
congressman from Iowa are all car

category. James Wilson, of the Fifth
District, had the misfortune to be
born in Scotland, and never reached
Iowa until 1851. All the members of
the Minnesota Congressional deleRa-
ton, both Senators and Representa-
lives, are carpet baggers. Michigan
has delegation of carpet -baggers in
Congress, the only exceptions being
Senator Ferry and Jay A. Hubbell, of
the Ninth District. Wisconsin is en-
tirely represented in Congress by car
pet baggers, and Alexander Mitchell.
Of the Fourth District, came all the
way from Scotland. Both the Repre-
Of the little old State of
Rhode Island, in the lower house of
Congress, are carpet baggers, and Mas
sachusetts is oppressed with three
Of Congress who had the
to be born outside the Raw
State. Webster and Clay, the idols off
heir respective States, and of a great
political party, were both carpet bag
,ers. the former having emigrated FROM
New Hampshire to Massachusetts,. and
he latter from Virginia to Kentucky.
Abraham Lincoln carpet bagged from
to Indiana, and from Indi-
ma to Illinois. Born in slave State,

On the other hand, John e. Cal
GUN, the apostle of notification. was
OF a carpet-bagger, nor was James
buchanan. The striking event in the
fe of the former was an attempt to
reak the Federal compact in 1882.

The history of the country from the
Inding of the Pilgrims down to the
resent time is one long sustained pro-
