MISSISSIPPI.

XDDUTTOTBn DEMOCRACT.-THB INmmoun must n oouktsd opt awn a kpt opt ip thkt rklt upon THB AFRICAN BACK PQB THKIB MAJORIR. • Tkt old war spirit is rising kesdom; The Radical party is panting and thirsting for the blood of our people; .» Their papers reek and drip with Satanic lies and saturnine libels in regard to the recent popular uprising in Yazoo. They say that ws are incapable of self-government; They call us Savages, Barbarians, Zolas, Bashi Bazooka, tec., tec., tee.; 1 They threaten to tramp down nere on a Death-mission like that of 1801, and they swear that “thb nkxt tob” they will not leave a man u nkilled, a bouse unburned, or a grass-blade growing in the whole, wide sweep of the South. Mississippi is the pet aversion—the particular antipathy,—of these Btalwart scoundrels. She forever was. We hope to high Heaven that she forever will be. Tbeir hatred glorifies our grand, progressive State; and the more they hate her the brighter become the sparks and flash of her crown-jewels. Mississippi is as far above her detainers as the stars above the dirt, and they may curse and condemn her until they are dead and damned, but they will never dim one ray of the immortal splendor that circles her imperial brow. Our people do not want the love of the •cabby mud-rills who are howling in our tracks to-day. We would despise ourselves if we had it,—would think that, perhaps, we had some slimy trait of character hi common with our trad ace rB. We tell these loyal lepers, these devil-dogs of Yankeedom, that we defy them one and all; . We tell them to their teeth, Now, Here, In the midst of their heathenish threats and hellish oaths, That Missistippians thall rule Mittu fWv That the Radical party shall never have the upper hand again in the administration of this State; That notwithstanding the negroes have the majority they shall never have the might) THAT EVERY COUNTY WILL BE* COME A YAZOO AND EVERY PATRIOT A BARKSDALE BEFORE WE WILL SUBMIT TO AFRICAN SUPREMACY. The Yankees may send hither a herd es Blacklegs in bine; We may see the grim gleam of their bayeaeM at eur polls, And hear the tramp—tramp—tramp of their pirate Mldtecy ia Mr streets. No matter. These Federal felons will do the hid* ding of our people as they did it in 1875 and 1876; They will stand hoekand let ns alone; Or they will rue it, right then and there, on the spot, without parley or postponement. The Democracy of Mississippi must organize this year as they organised in 1875. They must carry the State this year as they earned it la 1875. They meat display the earns Napoleonic tact sad skill,— . The same rim, and nerve, and grlv, * The same grand, hereie fidelity and fortitude teat they displayed is 1875, THEY MUST DARE AND‘DO, as they dared and did in 1875.
