Secession Is not, never was, and neyel
will be treason. "-OkoIona States,
Isn't It?
We think Secession was, and Is, and al
ways will be treason. This Is a NATION.
"You said in 81 1t should not be a
NATION, and we were marched into your
Sovereign States, andwOunded and killed,
until you laid down your arms and begged
for mercy.
Then the sickly s~entimentalists of the
North moved to comps ssion by your
piteous p~leadings, begged hat your neeks
be not broken by tho law gu hadtrampl.
cd upon.
And VIC did not hang you, as we should.
In the hour Of victory VIC were mag
nanimoss, fOrgavc, and received you back
as brethren.
We were fools to believe in the good
sense or honesty Of such vipers.
We warmed-you stuug, Served us
right.
But We did not receive your States back
into this Nation with any rights received
TO seCede at your option.
Try 1t once more, and you will be shot
or hung until your miserable, God.forsak-
en-, white political communities will be
plowed under; and decent, %law.abiding,
black communities will come into posses
sion OF what they have earned and should
by right have, after 200 years OF subsection
TO your lashes, lusts and cruelty.
II President Hayes were a man of mark
ed political courage and ability like Cesar,
Napoleon, Grant, or Zach Chandler, know
ing the sentiment that actually thrills and
pervades the hearts Of the people 0tthe
North, he would march q column Of linen
into iazoo county, Mississippi, and teach
your "chivalric and best citizens" that a
white or colored Republican has a right to
run for Sheriff, and other citizens have a
right 10 vote for him.
"Chivalric and best citizens!" Yes!

an old citizen, into his own house, fright

death, knowing as that wife and children
did, that the ''chivalric and best" OF Yazoo
proposed to assassinate them as the CHS
holms were foully assassinated in Kinds
county.

And they wait yet! Eoone wanted to

But that brave man knew his crowd;
and he kept face TO foe and finger to trig-

some n Of the "chivalric and best"
would be seized with the sudden impulse
TO murder him by a shot in the back,

II Hayes would send a few soldiers
down to Yazoo to protect people in their
rights as citizens, and the differentiated,
ignorant, british, clannish, 'murdcrous
"%chivalric and best" crowd should dare to
kill one mar wearing the Blue, the North
would rise, and you would find that this
is, and always will be, a Nation.
II the Copperhcads OF the North dared,
as in 1851, to apologize for or gloss over
your crimes, We would string them up 10
lamp-posts and trees to the tune Of "John
Browns soul goes marching on" as Our
boys once before marched under the "Red
White and Blue" to the Mississippi.
There will never be any more fooling
with Co%pperheads North or Traitors
South if blood is started once a9ain; and,
il necessary, blood will flow 10 protect the
humblest citizen, everywhere in this
NATION, in his rights.
