WE WANT WAR.

The usually peaceful and always pious
Colonel Shepard of the New York Nail
and Express is the first Northern man to
declare war on the South and begin the
clanking of armor. In his paper of yes
terday he grows blood.thirsty and issues
notice that the North will proceed at
once to the South and deluge the land in
blood II the Democrats make the slight
est attempt to steal the House of Repre-
sentatives or anything else belonging to
the Republican party. The Colonel is
wild and woolly, but we do not fear him.
We, of the South, do not fear any
Yankee on top Of Gods green earth. No,
sir
In the good old days when we stood
shoulder to shoulder against the Nor
thern vandals there was no fear in our
hearts and no bread in our haversacks
but there were bullets in our guns and
loyalty to the stars and bars in our le
gions, and we fought like brave men long
and well and went down only before such
odds as, in the ancient days of Greece and
Rome, made those who fell, heroes
whose Immortality was coordinate with
the gods. Let Colonel Shepard and his
bloody Northerners come on; let the
mudsills of the North invade our soil
let murder and rapine and fire and sword
devastate our fair fields and beautiful
homes but we will never surrender.
We are made of sterner stuff, Ours
is the blood of mobiles and warriors,
not of the poor white trash of England
who sailed across the ocean in tub and
tried 10 make the Indians pay them
wharfage for landing on Plymouth
Rock. We do not fear the North. We
fear no man, and in reply to the threat
ening query which heads his cowardly
editorial, "Do you want war?" we an
swer, yesl thousand times, yes. War
to the knife! Blood Boodl Blood
Our rights are our own Our property
is oursl We are white people. The
negro is in his place only when he is
under our domination and we will not
permit him to occupy any otherl
A million Yankee soldiers can not
force US into dishonor and disgrace. We
are the same yesterday, to-day and for
ever, and as in the old times we sang, so
sing we now:
As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust,
Like friends, and like brothers,
Kind We're and just;
But when the Northern treachery
Attempts our rights 10 mar,
Three cheers for the bonnie blue flag,
That bears a single star.
Hurrahl Hurrah
For Southern rights hurrah;
Hurrah for the bonnie blue flag,
That bears a single star.
