The Osceola times., 1875-11-13
Mississippi.

Amer ten long years OF vile serNi-
tude, onr sister state las thrown OF
the radical yoke o. bondage, and
l2.day She stands redeemed. Thank
God For years, She has been gov.
erned ty thieves and plunderers,
who, like vampires, have been suck.
ing her very life away. For years,
Grants mlnions have been gobbling
her reyanges and incomes, aud
ptInging the state deeper and deep.
or in the slough of Indebtedness.
For YEARS the scum o! Northern
society, aided by ign, rant blacks,
have occupied tie gabcrnatofiaI
chair and her legislative halls. We
say, ignorant blacks, because ihey
were ignorant enough TO believe The
stories that were being constantly
repeated TO them by the radical
leaders, tha,, democracy meant SER
yitudc that TO vote for that party,
was 10 vote Tor ovcrseors and the
lash, which would take he place Of
freedom. For years, honest native
white men, The only land owners,
have had no voice, or anything TO
do in making her laws, or IN pro-
tcc,ing her Interests. Being con
slanilv threatened by.thosc in pow.
CT, with tho miliary-with The
vengeance OF the republican party,
,hcy' have hecn-- forced 10 witness,
powerless in preventing, tho whole
sale robheries and pluuderings
which have characterized the ad-
miaI,,ss,ion Of their state affairs
for the past ten years; and during
all these long, dark years, nef h=%.
est men have been calling upon the
Executive Of the United States, for
succopr. For years these honest
citizens have been laundering INTO
the ears of L. S. Grant in piteous
accents, the OFT repeated tale OF
robbery aud expressions, wllch
werc being daily enacted but rs
the interests OF Mr.. Grant aud the
republican party demanded the
sacrifice Of that fair state, he turned
deaf ear to thair supp'ications,
and his eyes from their plI!erings.
And through all these years, amid
all these dark days, when Missls'
sippi's sun of prosperity and free
dom seemed 10 be gong down in
rartarian darl,ncss--a night OF
perpetual ruin, her brave sons did
not despair, but with true love Of
country, amounting TO almost ador-
alton, silently and faithfully work
cd fpr the recovery and freedom ct
their state and now fortune smiles
for success has crowned their Efforts,
and ,hey reap the reward their pa
tience and perseverance, so Justly
mcin,, victory. Mississippi IS free,
Mississippi is redeemed from vice
and ignorance, and her redemption
is just cause for rejoicing BY all who
have the prosperity Of the country
at heart. Carry the glad tidings !!
The cheering news has come, that
in n quiet and orderly election, the
democrats have carried the entire
state by sweeping majority, and
that, too, when the negro vote out
numbered the white by 10000. The
glorious result of .he election is due
TO the iudicious management OF the
property holders, and the conduct
of distinguished democratic leaders,
who convinced the black voters
that the lies fabricated for victory,
by tho republican party would be
ii carried out, ruinouS, 10 holh
white and black. Prostituted, op-
rresscd, down-trcdden Mississippi
is one more free . and We welcome
her back tc her place Ia the bright
galaxy o! { ce states; where sic once
shone with rciulgent splendor,
graeel with wealth and bcaaiy.
The only danger 20 be apprehen'
led now, is, that Mr.. Grant may
treat her to the same remedy that
DC proficrcd Louisiana IN ls1l-
Phil Serbian aud his bayonsts. II
he docs not, Mississippi bias gained
a.ncw lcaso on life through the wise
pIlIp1;ey which eliminated in the vote
