The real truth is that the South is still
rebel in heart and purpose, devoid Of all pa
trio;ic feeling, charged with deadly malisnty
toward all Northern residents on her soil
who will not wear Il paddock upon their lips,
utterly autl-Amercan, covered with gross
ignorance and brutal Generalization like
pail. and closely allied TO haybarism. That
in Georgia alone, tnrty-cicht militia compa-
MES refuse to carry the United States flag,
while bearing nlted States arms drawn from
the arsenals of the General Government, is
sNmptOnatc Of her rotten condition yener-
ally. In vain has her bloody rebellion been
more than magnanimously condoned by that
Government, and not a single traitor exc
cuted for treason; in vain has the North char
itably contributed millions Of dollars to save
the Southern people from the horrors OF
starvation. and millions more to spread the
light of education among them; in vain have
Northern capital enterprise and industry
sought to develop the locked-up resources OF
that thriftless and inert section of Our land;
in vain has every effort been made to ICON
ciliate our Southern brethren by divers
ways and means not always commensurate.
Darkness has as much fellowship with light,
and Belial with Christ, as the South has with
the North. All her suterings are by her
own intiction, and she is her one impl:trable
enemy-besotled, desperate, insane.
Here is the yenomOls hiss of the Old Ser.
pent Of slavery and sedtion, as aspiratcd by
the Iuka (Miss.) He,aH:
"We must act speedily and decidedly, no
matter what it costs. Better lose the lives
of half our citizens than 500 the whole out
ragcOusly traniplod upon by IN ignorant and
savage negro mob. We suggest to our breth-
rem the formation of White Leagues in every
civil district in every county in the State
Let them meet in secret aud bo bound by the
most solemn oaths, and let death be the
penalty at any violations # the Order. AL
ready We have good reason to believe such
leagues have been formed in many counties,
and the thing is becoming more and more
popular every day of its existence. This land
is oars by1iyM and By Mhcrtance, and We must,
we will control it, even at the expense of
oceans of blood and millions of lives. The
constant cry all Over the South is, the negroes
are threatening to burn this town and that;
to murder the women and children in this
place or the other. Let the helliSh barbarian
brutes 60 on; we will take a score of lives
for every woman or child murdered; aud when
once we start, in fact not damnable negro
savage assassin will be left in the South.
We accept the gauge"
With such demoniacal spirit as this per-
vadng the South, when it comes to the CUES
ton OF equal rights for whites and blacks
alike, what but the most terrible scenes may
be expected: "We tell you, now" SAYS
the NatchitOches |maicator, mcnacingly adj
dressing the colored voters, land let il be
distinctly remembered that You have fair
warning that we intend to carry the State of
Louisiana in November next, or she wW be a
military ta1f~y.'
See how divine retributon is meted out to
such evil-dOers!
Of Missouri the st. Louis Gjobe says: "a
little more of the Present rule of ignorance,
brutality, and Cuilawrv, (not by 'Northern
carpet baggcrs,' but by those to tho manor
born now witnessed in many of the counties
of this State, and Missouri will be set back
twenty years in her material prosperity
OF the present condition of Kentucky, the
Louisville Cowier-Jonrnat says:
"The law against the carrying Of concealed
weapons is dead letter, There has scarcely
been the conviction OF respectable, well-to-
do man for murder or homicide the last
twenty years. Every coward and bully goes
armed. Every case of manslaughter goes
unpublished, Every case of shooting with
