Surprising as the declaration may appear &c
the people OF New Orleans, however, the
Rev. Mr.. Hartzell says that the carpet-bag

pet-baggers. But listen to Mr.. Hartzell:
''The Lord hath controversy with the in.
habitants of the land. The exact point Of attack
is upon the sin Of race caste. The duty of the
hour is plain. The ISSUE must be distinctly
understood. 1t was well prose- nted in the Civil
Rights bill before Congress. That bill only pro,
posed that the black man should not be deprived
ofshis rights on account Of his color"

This talk about war OF races is a myth 1t is
simply a war OF one race upon another. The
reports you hear OF negroes arming themselves
to butcher white people are base iabrications
The blacks are not bloodthrsty nor revenge
full. In the whole history of their cruel bond
age there is not one example of concerted
rap'ne or murder among them toward their
oppressors. In the late war they fed and
cared for the women and children while
the men fought to make their bondage perpetual
and even to-day, if they could be assured that
their old masters would educate and give them
the full benefits Of thefr liberty, the past would be
forgotten and the Old slave owners would rule tn,

says the other day the natural relation of the
white man and the black is that of mastel and
slave, and calls upon Tennessee to ''hur the
thunder bolts Of her vengeance" against the in
