struggles of the good Democrat,

Hinton tells them, as they lay prone
on the lake of.despair-dark, gloomy

clustering venom, are not lost.
We will tell the CAUCASIAN and all
other journals belonging TO our CD
pressofs that they cannot dictate 10
US what our issues shall be-.
OUR Bio ISSUE Is THE "yIs.ER.
Our second issue is, freedom-free-
dom from such n disgraceful set as the
rulers In this State Our third issu.
as, that We are much more competent
and reliable TO fill the Offices of this
State than this "mongrel crew.
Upon these issues We draw the line
OF combat. Now, Mr.. Caucasian. tell
your comrades to step up and toe the
mark. Here is the field of combat,
On these lines the battle must be
fought aud won.
You have been trying TO side-tracl
US for some little time. Your nav,

Don't You know we're not going te

We wish you to understand whel

sole purpose of winning the victory
We would be as foolish as you hav
been to take an issue for any othe
