The Witness PROCESSES to be . "rsli-
sious" paper-It is ap "whited Sep
ulchrs" that must disgust its patron
saint, Satan himself. Its osteEsibls
hobbys are Temperance, and hatred Of
Catholics; but its delight, and covert
| purpose, is to lie about the South. The
lies are open and unbiushing. For il
stance it recently revilsd Secretary

Speaking IF the row at Merldien. when
four whites were hrutallv murdered ty
negto dcsperadoes, not one OF whom
was hurt, the Wstaess says:
"A most atrocious massacre of ne
groes by white ulen. at an election,
meeting in mississippi recently. recalls
| the horrible Wholesale murders Of nc
groes IN that State and Louisiana am
South Carolina, during The rcgln OF the
Ku-Kluy Khan. This renewed instance
OF the uncomfortable lawiess cruelty or
men raised under the system of South
ern slavery shows how httlc the pro
icstations Of a changed sta.e Of society,
AT lest IN Mississippi, are worth, HI.
whites there are everything that l.
amiable and good whilst inviting North
ern capitalists on a fool errand to set
lie among them, but the moment q
their f~erocity breaks forth like that Of
a tame tiger at he taste of blood, set
tiug all law, order, decency, humanity
Ind Justice at defiance. Let good me-,
and capital give Mississippi a wld-
birth until their is subs anita eviie'.cr
OF reform in the hanging IF negro mur-
derers."
OF course the liar knew that he WAS
penning a lie. But al,sl he knew also
that more than half the Northern pea
pie would rather read the foulest lie
about the South, than receive the truth
if sent by an angel. SO for many years
he has Kept up these ~calnmnios, aud
tl.s pa much ,nncy in his purse there
ny. The Witncss has a very large
circulation, which proves that MIC
Dou9ai knows his kind.
