LET THE BASTARD DEMOCRATIC TRAITOR
TAKE NOTICE.
= 3" DAVIS-knightliest one!
Whose name, whose high, white name, will
shine and circle with the
Uutil humanity no more its immortells will

The Mississippi Press convention wal
in session at Pascagoula on the 4th inst
Suddenly telegram was received tha
read as follows:
will be down on the 9:27 train
tonight" JEFFERSON DAVIS"
When the name of Jefferson Davis was
pronounced, the whole house became
surcharged with the electricity of enthu
siasm, and when our Chieftain walked ur
the aisle, a few minutes later, leaning on
the arm of Hon. Ethel Barksdale, he was
saluted by cheer after cheer. There was
a white cloud of futtering handkerchiefs
followed by a rain storm of roses that
beat, whirled and drifted around the
form of our President, until his path LED
up through shining flowers and subtle
| fragrance.
When silence had been partially restor
ed he rose to speak.
The tempests of seventy winters hao
whitened his locks, but there he stood
tall, straight as an Indain chief, with the
| quenchless fires of his pure proud spirit
blazing in his eyes, and the old masteful
melody of his eloquence thrilling through
hi speech
81 NEVER SAW A SOUTHERN WO
MAN" he said, WHO HAD BEEN RE.
| CONSTRUCTED"
Here he was interrupted by a hurri-
cane of huzzas.
"THE CHILDREN OF THESE wO.
MAN WILL YET RISE TO VINDI.
CATE OUR PRINCIPLES"
When this prophecy was spoken as on
ly Jefferson Davis could speak it, there
went up one grand, passionate, glorious
cheer that rang out into the night and
went tingling to the tropic stars;-a cheer
that proved the undying devotion of our
people to the principles symbolized by
the Bonny Blue.
The Radical party, by and with the
help of the bastard Democrats, are seek
ing through press and forum and a thous-
and secret and insidious channels to Gre
ate the impression that this Confederacy
of States is Nation
Let them be warned in time that they
may beware in time.
That doctrine will never be tolerated
by the men who fought or, by the sons of
the men who died for State Sovereignty,
NEVER
And if you of the North should forget
yourselves so far as to seek the unifica.
ton of our country into one vast central
lied power, you, and you only, will be
held responsible for the result.
Before this people will submit, they
will tear your Stars and Stripes from
mast and staff and toss the lying rag into
hell fire.
Nor think that you will conquer as you
conquered in 1865.
There will be no surrender of our chiv-
airy to your hirelings and Hessians.
If you want to Mexicanize this Repub-
lie, and make it land of perennial revo-
lutions, you will turn your backs on the
Jeffersonian doctrine of State Sovereignty
and inaugurate a despotism under the
plausible but imperial name of the
Nation.
Il BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE
DONE RIGHT. AND DO NOT FEEL
THAT HAVE DONE WRONG"
These words should be craven in gold on
pillars of Parian marble-they should be
printed in the textbooks of our schools,
colleges and Universities they should be
blazoned on our State banners, and hand
ed down from generation to generation,
until the last day of time.
The defiant ring of that sentence stirs
the pulses of our chivalry like the blast
of a battle trump. We forget the truck
ling of our weak, pitiful Conservative
Congressmen-who have dared-DARED
ask pardon for our past, and we renew
our vows of fealty to the righteous Cause
of State Sovereignty and Secession-a
Cause that is sweeping onward and up
ward to complete vindication.
When Jefferson Davis concluded there
came a thunder-clap of huzzahs that
shook the building to its foundation
flowers flew through the air and fell at his
feet, and then the audience, with stimuli
taneous accord, sprang forward to con-
gratulate our President.
Jefferson Davis, and Jefferson Davis
only, of all men living to-day could have
evoked this deep intense degree of en-
thusasm in the hearts. brains and souls
of Mississippi Press Convention.
Why?
Because he is the truest and best-tried
representative Of the sacred and sublime
principles for which our people offered
up the red blood of human sacrifice; be-
cause he has continued to uphold the
cause in defiance of calumny, persecution
and dungeon chains; because he has
never traded in gush, nor trafhcked in
the gibberish of mock conciliation; be-
cause he has never sought to placate our
guilty conquerors, and because he has
never made an apology or asked a
pardon.
We wish to the seventh heaven that
every bastard Democrat in Yankeedom
could have heard the speech of Jefferson
Davis, have witnessed his reception, and
| been startled by the spontaneous cheers
and huzzahs that rang and surged and
rose, and swelled upward in his honor
| form that vast and brilliant assemblage.
We know it would have ground them
to the quick, for it gave the lie to their
Infamous statement that the Okolona
States is not keeping step to the music
of Mississippi.
Jefferson Davis stands forth on the the
ater of public life as the central repre-
sentative of the Southern half of oul
States Republic He holds this proud
position not only by right of his remark
