self like hero and, if I" another rebel
lion and civil war is the consequence,
let them come. The worst that can hap
pen is to make Grant an emperor, and the
South is ready to do that now. The-
Democratic party of the North is gone;
swept out of existence by these acts, as it
was swept out of existMhce in 1861 by
secession. If the men L the South who
have refused eaE.adxs es and engaged in
this business in spite Of Nus. are sincere
if they mean business "-now is their
time. They will never get better time.
If they do not, let them crawl away, con-
Tossing that all their assaults upon US
have been mere windy bravadO-" sound
and fury signifying nothing"
In short and in fine, what we mean is
this: There is no use trying peaceful
agencies as long as the marplots are en-
gagged in stirring up strife; the marplots
have now pretty quarrel as it stands
let them fight it out or abandon their
senseless and reckless policy. If it is a
fight, we are with them; if it is not, we
want to know it. The South is tired OF
useless sacrifices.
An Appeal to Arms, and a Call Upon

Our only hope is in a stern, resolute
resistance resistance to the death if
necessary, with arms in our hands. Let
there be White Leagues formed in every
town, village, and hamlet of the South,
and let us organize for the great strugg. e
which seems inevitable. If the October
elections which are to be held at the
North are favorable to the Radicals, the
time will have arrived for us to prepare
for the worst. The radicalism of the Re
publican party must be met by the radi-
calism of white men.
We have no war to make against the
! United States Government, but against
the Republican party our hate must be
unquenehable, our war interminable and
merciless. Fast feeting away is the day
for wordy protests and idle appeals to the
magnanimity of the Republican party
By brute force they are endeavoring to
force us into acquiescence to their hideous
programme. We have submitted long
enough to indignities, and it is time to
meet brute force with brute force. Every
Southern State should swarm with White
Leagues, and we should stand ready to
act the moment Grant signs the Civil
Rights bill. - -s
If the white Democrats of the North
are men, they will not stand idly by and
see us borne down by Northern Radicals
and half-barbarous negroes. But nc
matter what they may do it is time fol
us to organize. We have been temper
izing long enough. Let Northern Radi.
Gals understand that military supervision
of Southern elections and the Civil
Rights bill mean war, that war means
bloodshed, and that we are terribly il
earnest, and even they, fanatical as they
are, may retrace their steps before it il
too late.
