WILL NEVER BE TOLERATED.

The radical party, by and with the help of the bastard democrats, are seeking through the press and forum and a thousand secret and insidious channels to create the impression that thia confederacy of slates is a nation. Let them be warned in time that they may beware in time. That doctrine will never be tolerated by the men who fought, or the sons of the men who died for state sovereignly. Never I And if you of the North should forget yourselves so far as to seek the unification of our country into one vast centralised power, you, and you only, will be held responsible for the result. Before this people will submit they will tear your stars and stripes from mast and staff and toss the lying rag into hell-fire. Nor think that you will conquer as you conquered in 1865. There will be no surrender of our chivalry to your hirelings and Hessians. If you want to Mexicanize this republic, and make it a land of perennial revolutions, you will turn your backs on the Jeffersonian doctrine of state sovereignty, and inaugurate a despotism under the plausible but imperial name of the nation. —[Okolona (Miss.)
