MR.. IRISH DENoUNcEs THE CLERGY AND
INSTITUTION.
Nine-tenths Of the clergy hold sla-
very to be sin and have taught the
people of the North to believe that
they were destined to perdition be-
cause those of the South held slaves
that they have couchcd their destruc-
tive views in the language of religi-
GUS fervor, and brought the consci-
ence of the people into subsection to
their bloody heresies, thus kindliDg
the flames of war whose barbarities
have no parallel in modern times and
scarce an equal in the darkest days
of Paganism, are our charges against
them.
We arraign them before the world,
in the presence of the weeping Wild
ows, slaughtered thousands, and or
phaned millions who owe their wreck
of happiness to their teachings. AS
witness we present, first, the word of
God from Genesis to Revelation, in
every line touching upon the relation
of master and slave and the duties Of
the ministry. This witness dcnoun-
ces nine tenths of all the clergy Of the
North as men "who are proud and
know nothing" and says to real
christians, "from such withdraw thy
self! p
1t establishes Slavery and regulates
1t by la'0s emanoting from God him
self.
We argue from this evidence that
nine-tenths of the Northern clergy
are like raging waves of the sea,
fOaming out their bitterness, wander
ing stars for whom is reserved the
blackness of darkness forever. Their
teachings have brought war with all
its nameless enOrmities, they have
stepped the nation to its lips in cor
ruptiOn, they are the destroyers, the
Hyder Ally and Tamerlanes of the
18th century,-the foes of society and
insulters of Heaven.-J. r. Irish,
Jan. Is, 1866.
MR.. IRISH DENOUNCEs THE NORTHERN
CLERGY AGAIN.
The whole of this sickly abolition
sentiment as taught by the clergy, is
a gigantic lie, it is founded in false
hood and the mark of deception ap-
pears upon it throughout its whole
course. Its agitation has involved
us in q. civil war whose enormities
have never been cqualled, and yet
these men, these retailers of Gods
word stand behind their pulpits and
with persistency worthy of a better
cause, and an impudence that the
devil might envy, continue to agitate,
knowing they are bringing about the
degradation of their own race and
people. What use for them to de-
claim against the sins of the world
when people know them to be such
consummate hypocrites and villains
as to have pandered to the gangrene-
Gus, pestilential sentiment Of modern
abolitionism.-J. p. Irish, Feb. %,
1866.
IRISH DECLARED THAT LINCOLN HAD
ENsLAvED THE WHOLE NATION.
The only resemblance between Abe
LinSU2H und Mosas 10 the;~r early ev-
perience in river navigation, and then
Moses cleft rock and Abe split rails.
But there we imagine all resemblance
is at an end, Mr.. Moses liberated his
own people while Abe has enslaved a
whole nation of his own race in order
to give few niggers chance to
starve to DEATH. p. Irish, Jan. IL,
1865.
MIR. IRISH DENOUNCED LINCOLN AS A
THIEF.
No sooner was Lincoln elected than
stealing began.-J. p. Irish, March
l8, 1865.
Was ever sdch scoundrelism heard
of before. The chief magistrate of a
great nation confessing that he had
| placed himself on level with the
petty theft. r, Irish, March 8,
1865.
MR.. IRISH DENOUNCEs UNION DEMO-
Gratis.
Since the election many men who
have hitherto given slack allegiance
to the democratic party are out de-
livering the original dyed-in-the-wool
negro worshipers in their professions
of loyalty to the administration of
Abraham the negrophite. These
chicken hearted gents will, we trust,
get the few dirty crumbs from the alb
clifton table which they expect as a
reward for their party treason. They
will one day come bowling back for
admission into the old ranks, but will
find themselves marked for their cow
ardly desertiOn in the hour of our
greatest need. All the slums is run.

LINCOLN COMPARED TO BoMBA AND THE
| KING OF DAHOMEY.
The United States is reduced SO
low as to be compelled to seek friends
among picayune revolutionists in
South Americaand colonies of man
united niggers on the coast Of Afri-
ca. We only wonder that diplomat
ic relations have not been opened
with his majesty of Dahomey, be-
cause his pursuits resemble those of
Lincoln's views nearer than any 9TH
err foreign sovereign since the death
of BOmba.-J. p. Irish, Dec. IA, 1864.

HIM AS A BLACK HEARTED HYPOCRITE
| AND VILLAIN, AND DECLARES THE
| TIME RIPENs WHEN HIS HEAD WILL
| BEMAsHED.
How easy it is to blind ourselves to
our own iniquities and charge all
crime, corruption and wrong upon
others. The peculiar faculties neces-
sary to do this have been pre-emi-
nently the heir-looms of bloody
minded Puritans. From Cromwell
to Lincoln they have been the most
black-hearted hypocrites, dissemblers
and villains that ever disgraced the
forms Of men. Hatched like brood

hind them, and devouring everything
that bore semblance of honorable and
correct principle in their advance.
Human serpents, they have bruised

heads will be mashed by outraged
humanity.--J. p. Irish, Apr. 5, 1866.

"When Congress meets in October
it will have to issue three hundred
million dollars of new Greenbacks to
relieve the dead lock in trade and the
distress of the country, or it will have
