Of constitutional liberty is yet aliv,
with us and will be transmitted to on
children.
1t is high time that the Northern
preachers and teachers and editors were
learning Il salutary lesson from these
annual reunions of the old Conrcd
crates. II had been Il Federal soldier
ana llVed up there, 1t seems to me that
would say, My brethren, those
rebels must have been trcmcndousl,
IN earnest. There is no let up or ahatc.
mcnt in their faith. Forty years has
not humblcd them one ota. We had
better make friends with such a people
and divide honors and PENSIONS, too.
Ihcy have carried an awful load for
all these Years. They have to pay Il
good pant of the pensions to our sol
dlcrS and all of the pensions to their
own and Il big tax To educate their ne
grocS; and they had to endure the ray
ages and stcalagCs of the carpct-bay.Grs
Tor years, but they never complain
| They fight back and defend their honor,
| but, like the SONS Of Alnomuk, they
| never complain. Surely they are Il
r1'N'' i''''l''S. 'CN HuIlCI iIl'l iIt
strong, and when soldiers were wanted
for Cuba and the Philippines they came
1T the first call. Brethren, lets stop
all his anti-Southcrn sentiment and
make our preachers and editors stop il.
There Is no good i'll rubbing an old
sore. We don't know what may hap
pen, and We may need those boys to
save The country. The old veterans
arc dying out, but Their sons are the
same old stock. The South - fast
coming to the front, and is destined to
be great power in the land, and if we
keep on aggravating them with abuse,
it is possible they may get lighting mad
some Ol these days and get up another
civil war and-and and--whip us
again, or come pretty near it, That's
what | would say if waacnl :: fool.
These arc alarming times. Wars,
fires, floods. Awful cnlamiticS ON land
and on the sea, explosions in mines,
wrecks on railroads, murders, suicides.

worse than all, there seems to be no
stop to these horrible uulragcS Of brutal
negroes. '.hcn there is the iuSubor-
