Year: 1867

Editor of the Register:


Everything but Radicalism, in Brooke,
is as bright as clear June morning, and
the atmosphere has been healthier and
more balmy the past seven days than it
has been for seven years. In days gone
by we breathed the stencil of white
niggers Oh every corner, now we seldom
see them standing in groups, and hear
them brand us "traitor," and threaten
to hang us if we only open our "rebSl
mouth" The dread of being shot, and
having ones property coniscated, or
stolen, by the basest band of clandestine
robbers that history gives any account
of, has departed, and we stand breath
ing this pure Democratic air,and defy the
devils of Brooke county to shoot, plum
der, lock us up in some dirty, suffocating
prisen, or do any mean and low action, for
which they have been notorious i'll this
county for six years, and for such ac-
tions alone. am sad to think so many
Conservative Republicans were in the
Radical party, although / hold them
clear of performing these mean, dirty
actions, yet they voted the blackest
ticket that ever existed in these United
States, and as speak of the base deeds
performed by the party, l, through re-
spect for those Conservative men, to
some extent, give them clear. Where
is the uhite man that would not rejoice
under an atmosphere free of all such
filth? These abolitiOnists have depriv-
ed a certain class of us of free speech,
until very recently, when they conclud-
ed their balloon must come down, and
fearing we would give them a chance of
going up Salt River, they permitted us
to talk more freely, but gave us charge
not to talk too loudly, but since l
caught the first breath of this clear
atmosphere, resolved to say just what
| pleased, and the most l can say of
thoselwhe shut my mouth in past days,
is this, they are as mean a band of ruff
fans as ever tread Nirginia's soil, COW
ardly and degraded, sin corrupted and
rapidly approaching the river Styx, to be
conveyed across to the entrance of that
place where the great dog Cerberus is
stationed, which will yield them admit
tance to their eternal mansion. God
nav forgive them for committing the
basest outragcs ever committed by man,
during the past cursed war, all over
these States, but if God does they must
pray for it, which l fear (their hearts
being so hardened) they will fail to do
until it be eternally too late. l hope
they may be forgiven, if not, their
spirits must suffer the severest punish
ment through all eternity for past sim
full actions.


The devil must dread them. Parson
Brownlow and Thad. Stevens have tried
to rule on earth, and they will try the
same game in hell. They caused much
trouble here, and if the devil does not
hold stiff upper lip and high tail,
they will dethroAe him and cause
trouble among the imps. What has
been done is liable to be done again.
There have been things done in this
country, which l hope may never be
thought of, with intention of doing them
again, by any party or class Of men.
Republicans and sinners, are you not
ashamed of your actions and past his

dirty paws, as do the wood chucks; take
the nigger with you, if he thinks you
proper company to associate with.
Make your password "Union" and for
Your amusement sing, "Rally round
the flag Boys" but do not steal from
each other. Do not lie on white men
who intend to rule this Government
from this time out. Every State in the
Union is coming to the rescue, and so
soon as the disfranchlsed portion of our
citizens are allowed the just right to
their vote, we can show you,all over the
United States, which party has the
great majority and has had from the be-
ginning of your plundering. Go to your
holes and take the Ethiopian with you
if he will accompany you, and embrace
him, and enjoy his breath. Make him
your equal there, if you will, but never
try to degrade white men by an equal
ity with a being which is altogether diff
| ferent from white men. We cannot see
negro suffrage, amalgamation with the
negro, or a negro brought near our
equality, but We do consider the black
niger better than the white, in every
respect, and sympathize with him for
getting in such bad company. Take
him and go to your dens; we have no
further use for you. In all hatred to
abolition doctrines, TIN PRIM.
