these bowling taxpayers. When | read
that part of his testimony in the Nicks-
burg case, l WAS reminded of passage
IN the book of Job. Job had been strip

and afflicted in many ways; and he cried
out in his agony. His comforters said to
him: You are a howler," and Job re-
piled, Does the wild ass bray when he

salary men don't howl they have both

concluding, and that is, the charge
brought against US of unfriendineSs to
people simply as Northern people, our
disposition to ostracise them socially,
and TO prosecute them in every way. This
is called disIoyalty.
There Is class of people in the United
| States who have made the art Of manu-
featuring and spreading falsehoods, and
public talsehoods at that, take rank
amongst the great industries of this busy
people. A distinguished man to whom |
made this remark, said, Yes, and YOU
may say that there is prodigious and
highly cultivated talent for believing
falsehoods, which nourishes the indus
try"
On this matter of social ostracism |
have this to say. 1t any two hundred
Southern men backed by Federal add
ministration, should go to Indianapolis,
turn out the Indiana people, take pos
session of all the seats of power, honor
and profit, denounce the people at large
as assassins and barbarians, introduce
corruption in all branches of the public
administration, make government a curse
instead OF blessing, leaguing with the
most ignorant class of society, to make !
war on the enlightened, intelligent and |
virtuous, what kind Of social relations
would such state Of things beget be- |
tween Mr.. Morton and his fellow citi- /
zens and the intruders?
When these people first flocked into |
the State, they thought or assumed, that /
they represented the majesty of an
offended nation, and like the order of
men to which they belong, expected to
act the part of public patrons, to he sur /
rounded by clients, and to pass amongst |
US, amid salams and genuhexions but |
they were instantly undeceived
We have ever since the war PRAYED /
earnestly that the true representatives of |
the Northern people might come amongst
us-thelr mechanics, their farmers, their /
professional men, the representatives of
their Industries We got only the che /
Waller d lndustrie, and we knew him at
sight.
A gentleman, Republican, visiting
the South last winter, to satisfy himself !
on this and other points, said g When /
saw the great 'ostracised,' and reflected |
upon what they had done here, l said to
myself: These men would be ostracised /
anywhere"
They have diligently labored to create
the belief that Northern men cannot live /
here, without humiliation and without
danger of violence. Now the class of |
men we want they don't want. That is
clear. Their Commissioner of Immigra-
ton has, for agricultural and "other pur.
poses, introduced three thousand colored /
men into the State, and not single white /
man, unless 1t be some vagabond who |
wanted free passage. They say to the |
Northern men: b" Beware of man-traps |
andspring guns" TO the negro-Come
on, there is no danger. Truly there is /
none. Does it not stand to reason that |
II we can tolerate the class of Northern /
men we have here as rulers, we can toler- |
ate Northern farmers or mechanics, or
professional men, as neighbors?
All this wretched and contemplate /
drlvel passes now for nothing with the |
real men Of the North. The Radical /
coterie here but poorly represents the /
Northern people. They miserably mis-
them. The plain truth of the /
matter Is, these men wish to disguise /
what it is that carries men to Virginia, /
Georgia, Tennessee, and the arid plains /
of Colorado, and prevents them from .
coming to this fruitful land. 1t is lust !
this. No sane man being well out Of
Mississippi with his wife, children and
property, would trust them to the tender
mercies of such a government as we have
here.
1t is pretended that narrative of the !
lives, of these so-called prosecuted men, |
if put into a book would shelve Fox's |
book of martyrs.
Now let me ask, if the most pro- |
nounced carpet-baggers and South-haters |
here, look like prosecuted men? They |
grow SO rapidly in sickness and fatness,
that | have to be introduced to them .
over and over again, they do so improve
out of my acquaintance Minds at ease
and consciences at rest is written in their
placid countenances. Yet they cry
out like Paul, "verily die daily" Good /
natured fellows they are too, in their /
way. There is an old adage which SAYS, |
that " a man is good after being fed.'
assure these men that their last card
has been played, and it has not won.
This trumpery no longer deceives any
body, and 1t matters not which party
prevails in 1876; no national sdminis- /
tration will again incur the odium of
propping them up. When the sap no
longer flows into the stem they will drop
from it. They will die of inanition-of
atrophy.
