Rensselaer Union, Volume 11, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 August 1879 — More Southern Democratic Sentiment. [ARTICLE]

More Southern Democratic Sentiment.

The latest charge against the Sooth is that the school-children in that part of the Union are tattght to speak of the United States as “ they," instead or using the word N-a-t-i-o-n.—Ex-change. Strange to say, the most treasonable of all documents in this respect is the Constitution itself, and the treasonable part is that very part which defines treason. The Third Section of the Third Article says thus: ... . „ “ treason against the United Stages shall consist only in levying war npon them, or in adhering to their enemies.”—etc. But then, what better could be expected from an instrument whioh never uses the term “ Nation” or “ National."— Pan Christian (Miss.) Sea-Shore Gaulle. The Constitution of the United States is a secession document, and was drawn up by secessionists of the old school. They knew precisely what they were doing, and they did it well. They weighed the several articles, sections and clauses of the charter, line by line, word by word, and syllable by syllable; for they wanted their posterity to possess the right to revolt against tyranny, without running the risk of being hung for treason. Take the Constitution, sun it in the bright, translucent light of the heroic days in which it was draughted, and von can read the right of secession in and between the lines as plainly as you can see the sunbeams throngh the crystal atmosphere of this August morning. Bat why squander logic on the talwart lepers ? Willfully blind, Maliciously deaf, Besotted with hate, Blazing with wrath, Cowering with dread at the bare possibility of losing the white, flaky, palatabie bread and pie, and the sweet, fresh, appetizing trout and salmon of office, they would not listen to the truth, though it were spoken by a-glo-rified Saint commissioned from the throne of Cod, ■ - It is of no use to reason with' the Radicals. It is no use to make war on them with squirt-guns charged with cologne.

We have borne and fojreborne with their treasons, and murders, and robberies, and perjuries, until the whole Republic has become debauched and demoralized. What have wo made by putting on kid-gloves and treating these traitors ginjrorly?——_——. —— What? • Has one of.them relented? Has one of them reformed? - No. On the contrary, their ranks have become more and more solidified, and their plans and purposes more and more remorseless, qjprrupt and oppressive. Their pioneers are blazing away for Grant and a strong Government; The plowing over of State-lines; The suffocation of popular liberty! The day for argument has passed. Tho day for action has come. Our party must form State-Sover-eignty Clubs in every city, town, village, hamlet and precinct in every latitude and longitude in our States-Union; and these Clubs must have a common understanding, a common purpose, and stand ready to respond when tbb tocsin sminds. If S Nation is proclaimed, that Nation must die the death; the life must be shot or sabered out of the qhief movers in its creation, and the rank and file of its supporters must be disfranchised. The Radical party is the minority party in this Republic. Taking the whole States-Union into consideration, it has been the minority party since old Abe Linkhnrn sneaked into Washington, disguised in a Scotch cap and cloak, and disgraced the Whitd House forever by tracking the Sangamon mud over its carpets and polluting the atmosphere with his lewd, profane, yahoo presence. This being the case, they must be checked in their revolutionary career. Their next usurpation must be resisted in a way that will teach them there is still a God—a just, Almighty God—in Israel. %.

Protests will not serve. What do these devils care for protests, or logic, or facts? They must bo checked in their mad, unholy career bv tho Avenging Arm and the Red Right Hand. Speak and write, but speak and write as did tho Henrys and the Paines in the days of 1776, when the masses were aroused and electrified, not by the major and minor propositions and conclusions of perfect syllogisms, but by tongues of fire and pens of flame denouncing the despotism of King and Parliament. The Radicals have an idea that the Democratic is a cowardly party. Why? Because it submitted quietly to the Presidential juggle of 1J876-’7. They bank heavily ou this Delief, It has made them still more defiant and demoniac. They are simply laying up wrath against the Day of Wrath. The deluge will come. They will not be permitted to transfer another solitary right of a State to the General Government. Not one It will be prevented; but, in order to prevent it by one swift, sharp stroke, we must organize into State-Sover-eignty Leagues and Legions, and be ready to fall upon them like a thunderbolt. Yes —the Radical party has made its last of the States Snd tho People. The Sherpians, the Blaines, the Chandlers, and all that mouthing mob of windy word-grinders may call this Confederacy a “Nation” until their throats crack open; but they will never be permitted to make it a Nation in point of fa«t. Their pestilent carcasses will hang in chains and feed the vultures if they dare to subvert the rights set forth in the Constitution by the old Continental Secessionists.

Unite, Democrats! and proclaim this States-Union dissoluble at pleasure. Unite, and swear that the amendments shall be disrooted from the Constitution. Unite, sprawl upon and triturate the last result of the war under the soles of your feet. ' { Unite, and slam-to forever the doors of the free schools. "Unite, and vow that white men and white men only shall, vote, hold office, and sit on juries. Unite, and tell the Grants, the Shermans, the Garfields, and the vulgar varletry who train under their flag, that you stand to-day where you stood in 1861, and are willing to fight the old fight over again with ballots or musketballs. Prepare! Spot your traitors! Strip the straps from the shoulders of your dastard, bastard Democrats. Place the old guard in charge of the guns, and open the campaign for the restoration of the old Planter Republic of Thomas Jefferson, John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. —Okolona (Miss.)
