^ANALYSIS.«^ 
 
 When the Convention of thirte3n Colonies published the seces- 
 sion document known as the Declaration of Independence, in 
 which they took the name, States, they were States by the De- 
 claration. Tne subsequent recognition of Great Britain did not 
 make them States. Neither would subjugation have altered the 
 right. The British might have forced colonialship back upon the 
 thirteen peoples, but the right and fact of statehood, during seven 
 years, would have remained unabolished, lor the inspiration of 
 succeeding generations. 
 
 The Convention was composed of thirteen democracies who 
 declared that government is a trust, not a divine right, and should 
 thenceforth be in the care of peoples, not the prerogative of kings. 
 The thirteen colonies united as thirteen people (or States) who, 
 unless the union had been one of fraternal democratic honor, 
 would soon have fallen down begging for such grace as the haugh- 
 ty monarchy might have seen fit to grant. But, because those 
 States were composed of honorable patriots, not of compulsionists, 
 the thirteen secessionists did wondrously. There were a number 
 of loyals to the king in each of the democracies, but their power 
 for evil was nullified b}^ the patriots. 
 
 To defend against the British, a union of the thirteen was 
 agreed upon under the name and style. United States of America. 
 Force was not a factor of that union. This agreement between 
 declared Independencies is the first confederation, the unforced 
 league of political honor by which secession was made good. 
 
 But this first compact was crude, and the experiment of fede- 
 ration called for its amendment; the formation of a new one. or 
 friendly dissolution into State integers. Patriol^ism was mightier 
 than sectional interests, and another convention was called to 
 which each State sent delegates. The bludgeoning variety of 
 statemanship did not darken the door of that convention. The 
 right of secession has been established by the declaration. Des- 
 troy that right, as between the States, and American liberty is 
 destroyed. Mr. Webster, for party purposes, let off a grand dis- 
 play of sophistical pyrotechny over the wording, we the people. 
 But the entire ves gestce prove that the States, severally ratified 
 a Constitution, which depended for perpetuity upon the faithful 
 observance of every stipulation by each severalty. 
 
 The thirteen had thus thrice agreed as democratic friends, to- 
 
wit : In the declaration, and in the first and second confedera- 
 tions, but the marks of British mothership still stuck to some of 
 the people. Hamelton and others had done their best to British- 
 ize the Constitution, but had failed. Washington himself rather 
 favored the idea of prerogative in the chief magistracy and senate. 
 His soldiers who venerated the man spoke of him during the 
 war of secession as " His Excellency." The leading men were 
 born monarchists, and it is difficult for even great minds to eradi- 
 cate the first impressions of education. 
 
 Out of the conflicting ideas of this era the first parties were 
 formed. Washington was unanimously chosen president, and 
 the partisans of prerogative took the name federals. The democ- 
 racy, in opposition, styled themselves republicans, not because 
 they opposed the constitutional league, or federation, but to save 
 the government from its strong monarch- squinting tendencies. 
 The real democracy, then styled republicans, were formed in line 
 of battle under the lead of the great author of the declaration, 
 and the prerogative fetich of the federals was buried i-o deeply 
 that its ghost could not be raised until 1861. Then the soul of 
 the dead beast entered into certain sneaks, who stole the once 
 glorious name, republican. But note this : The federal party 
 and its kmsman, the whig, never assaulted the constitution itself. 
 The earlier, or federal party, tried to breathe the spirit ot mon- 
 archy unto alien and sedition laws, which were not laws. But 
 not until the sneaks had made the masses drunk on the spirit of 
 abolition lawlessness did any one dare to make the constitution 
 the medium and excuse for Diabolism. 
 
 As far back in the "experiment" as 1833 certain croakers of 
 " universal liberty " began to abolish slavery (so they said,) 
 away off in the South; negroes being there held in a bondage 
 identical with that in which the old puritan saints had traded, but 
 which their still more saintly progeny conspired to abolish — after 
 the " chattels " had been converted into filthy lucre. 
 
 [Remark here, parenthetically: The negro, the red man, &c, 
 are distinct creations. The one is aboriginal to this continent, 
 the other, to Africa ; others, to other parts of the globe. For dis- 
 tinction I term them anthropoids. The scientist who would clas- 
 sify the baboon as a son of the negro might rank with those who 
 assert that the negro is a son of Adam. Oh, that Moses and Paul 
 were here to defend themselves against the abolition yellpups 
 who have come potiri rerum. It seems that the holy bl^ood-cranks 
 deny that the blooded animals subjected to Adam could talk. 
 They draw the line of soul at tongue, though it is on record that 
 the snake was an orator ; and when " inspired " could tell lies as 
 fast as the common run of orators of to-day.] And when the 
 snake's spiritual xixth century oratorical progeny had deluged 
 the north with infidelity, and in the confusion a conscientious fan- 
 atic was snaked into the executive chair, diabolism was snaked in 
 soon to grow rampant, and to abolish the vary principles by 
 
which the people had united in democratic fraternity as one peo- 
 ple. The history of the United States as a democratic federal re- 
 public ends with the usurpations of this political monster, and the 
 history (or no-history) of the tootle nation begins. And here al- 
 so we see the government of providence over sinful man without 
 respect to latitude or longitude. Many of the sons and daughters 
 of Adam in the South, having grown rich on slave labor, were 
 sunk in the worse slavery of idleness, luxury and innumerable 
 sins. Many knew of God only by taking His name in vain. 
 Therefore he withdrew His protection to the extent of turning 
 over her people to the rule of their orators and legislatures and 
 lawyers. It was not slavery but its abuses that incurred His 
 righteous frown. Much more was the north under his curse when 
 its people sectionally endorsed a horde of liars and fools who 
 openly scoffed at the Bible, or argued it into nothingness, and de- 
 rided the Constitution as a league with hell. 
 
 Further on, it will be shown that wliat is styled a republic may 
 be a mere brat of lawlessness, a ghoulish thug, whose soul is nur- 
 tured on human gore. Here the no-historical word designative 
 of the father of the thug may be defined for popular comprehen- 
 sion. Tootleism, a Britico-hamilto-negro evolution from the 
 brains of " honest old Abe & Co," a cunning old Britisher acting 
 as transatlantic granny. Its vampire soul perpetually sniffed 
 the fumes of human blood. Pure democracy sucked into its 
 nasty maw was defiled ; and people exposed to its foul breath, 
 grew ill-tempered and wicked. The thug howled into the ears of 
 the north, that the slaveholding States committed rebellion by 
 their acts of secession. That lie tickled Britico who did not, be- 
 cause he would not know that the right of secession was Amer- 
 icanly adjudicated on the 4th of July 1776, and could never be 
 made revolutionary again only by unequivocal surrender of the 
 right. No such surrender can be found in the Constitution. 
 Therefore the howl of '61 against secessionists as rebels, was in- 
 spired by the father of lies. Moreover, the thug said that the fir- 
 ing on Sumpter necessitated the guardians of the flag (by the 
 way that flag is the emblem of old time secessionists), to call for 
 75,000 men for — selfj^^defense. No doubt of that. It is through 
 such de-fences that the old murderer walks at his pleasure. The 
 cheap historians say what followed was a civil war. This is an- 
 other abolition troth. Civil war cannot rage between self-declar- 
 ed Sovereignties, and the South did not invite a war of any sort. 
 These States were forced to the alternative of seceding or of ulti- 
 mately surrendering to the will of fanatics who thought that the 
 Constitution was fit only for a spitoon of puritans. Europe 
 laughed in its monachical sleeve at the spectacle of " sovereign- 
 ties " republicanizedinto the butcheries of a " civil war." These 
 spit-upon States having seceded and confederated, "■ Queen " Vic- 
 •toria had as good a right to yank them back, as rebels against Im- 
 perialism as had " President " Lincoln to yank them back into 
 
his mongrelizing den. And though the South had been shame- 
 lessly robbed by the tariff, she would have paid Lincoln and his 
 conspirators for the forts, although her own money had built 
 them. The commandant at Sumpter was tendered every cour- 
 tesy towards the peaceful evacuation of a fort then being made 
 by those conspirators as hostile to South Carolina, as was Moul- 
 trie when occupied by the British in seventy-six. The conspira- 
 tors against the Constitution, bent on bloodshed, ordered that of- 
 ficer to defy the authorities who held that fort, in trust, for South 
 Carolina. So here we have another tootle — truth involved in the 
 caterwauling over the fired on flag. Strange to say no life was 
 lost until the officer soluted his own flag, lately cursed by its now 
 frantic worshippers as hates polluted rag. The lying logic of 
 this Sumpter incident amounts to this. If a thief gets into your 
 house he may become master. Aiid if powder alone will oust the 
 thief the real master who uses it is a criminal, a traitor, a rebel ! 
 Here we revert to first principles and affirm that what is styled 
 the revolution did not create a right, and there was not in its womb 
 a kennel of revolutions waiting to be born. The vi et armis claim 
 of the king to perpetual British union suspended not the right but 
 the immediate result upon the privadons and battles of war. Not 
 so, as between states, acknowledged as against each other, as sover- 
 eignties. The pre-revolutionary principle established by the 
 revolution, and now styled American liberty, rules out the 
 bayonet as a maker or savior of unions. Unforced state consent 
 is, and shall yet be, the principle of every honorable union. We 
 admit that the tootleized states as negrophilizers of American liberty 
 might have invaded the Confederate States, had they notified the 
 world and their own subjects, by open declaration of war, of their 
 real object. But, had the relation between master and slave at 
 the South been disrupted by force of arms the right of American 
 liberty would not have been destroyed. E.eal honesty was far 
 above the calibre of the hypocrites who 8neaked\\)Xo their abolish- 
 ing invasion as union saviors. Their non-declaration was a "rebel" 
 screech resembling the orgies of savages starting for the scalps of 
 another tribe that, insulted and injured, had gone to a distance for 
 safety. We remark, here, that the democratic party at the North 
 have tried to hold the t r-o-o-l-y high-toot things to their pretended 
 union saving work, whereupon, the tr-o-o-lies leap to the front 
 with terrific whoops claiming all the emoluments of the bloody 
 work. We freed the s-1-a-a.v-e : We saved the yewn-yan ! And 
 the once unterrified democracy runs into its party hole and pokes 
 out its claim as saviors also : Me too, me too ! 
 
 Doubtless a long list of living and dead big bugs could be made 
 np by the 1-o-y-al, and "pointed at with pride." But if the dead 
 could rise from the dead, even the stalwarts of wickedness would 
 solemnly warn the people from the error of their way. Dem- 
 ocracy is cursed with an unclean caste born again of Britishism, 
 
and many of the common people, led astray, are vrallowing in the 
 mire of monarchy and mongrelism. 
 
 Here, some may condemn all government as brutalizing, but 
 are persuaded that the common people of the United States are 
 honest and christian like the commonalty of Europe. So they 
 are, for Christianity scarcely exists ! Passing by the United States 
 hypocricy let us look at Europe — while Europe, where there are 
 no negroes unless a few Frenchified mulattoes may be so classed. 
 Millions of those uniformed animals are robbed of the prime of 
 life and trained to shoot each other to death when some "chris- 
 tian" be-power gets up a miff with some other fraud equally 
 christian. The bedizzened machines afflicted with the same sort 
 of Christianity are held as dogs of war by the "war lords" always 
 ready to slaughter and be slaughtered, for they know not what. 
 While taught by priests, preachers and colonels to love each other 
 in dog-like fashion they must be fed. And who feeds them ? Do 
 the be-powers draw manna from heaven ? Or, rip open their pri- 
 vate purses to keep the killing machines in good order ? Not 
 much ! The war-created debts and interest on the same, the cur- 
 rent support of kings, lords, popinjays and armies — all these bur- 
 dens fall on the workers on "land and sea whose slavery is im- 
 measurably more grievous than that of natural inferiors, from the 
 fact that they and their lords are of the one blood spoken ol by 
 Paul in his argument to the Athenians, Those laborers are the 
 veriest slaves to popelings and kings, crownlings all, of the god of 
 destruction. No wonder that numbers of females in those nations 
 work in harness like beasts of burden. Our females of like color 
 in the mighty free, tfec, are harnessed to six cents a shirt, and so 
 forth. Oh yes, we are christians, quite like the breed in Europe. 
 
 Here the infinitely important question of causation comes up : 
 How can these things be? It is impossible to do more than to 
 state such truths as are relevant to the purpose of this paper, as 
 follows : 
 
 First. — God Almighty is the slaveholder, i. e. the sovereign of 
 the universe. In Hira is no evil; neither can evil proceed from 
 Him, either as Creator or Sovereign or Providential Ruler. As 
 the ever-governing providence He returns the acts of His respon- 
 sibles upon themselves. If acts spring from obedience to the 
 Sovereign the return is a good ; if from disobedience the return is 
 an evil. The motive is simply returned whence it came. The 
 heart originates the motive. An evil motive comes from an evil 
 heart and returns to multiply the evil motives in man. 
 
 Second. — Satan though but a creature, and fallen, is above man 
 in the creative scale. He originated evil in Heaven, long befoie 
 the creation of Adam, and he diligently spawns his returned na- 
 ture wherever he can act. His primal offense was the attempt to 
 abolish the relation which must subsist, in the ver}' nature of the 
 case, betv;^een the Sovereign and all His responsible creatures. 
 Satan is therefore the first Abolitionist on record. A hi2:h re- 
 
6 
 
 sponsible, his thoughts that led on to the act could not have been 
 the result of cretive defect; neither could God have turned tempter 
 by whispering evil thoughts into the mind of one of His holy 
 angels. The creature tried to attain the powert)f creatorship. Ky 
 return of his own folly he can create nothing but evils. He tried 
 to be Sovereign, like the Deitv, over all his fellow angels. By 
 return he is only a sub-sovereign over sucii as he can dupe. 
 
 Thikd. — The once high-minded abolisher now held under the 
 recoil of his stupendous rebellion is turned to be the enemy of 
 God's creature, man ; but can act against man mostly in snakish 
 fashion. He is highly religious, and his bnd religion consists much 
 in wholl}^ or partially inspiring man with conceits of innate im- 
 mortality, free will, free agency, arbitrary grace, vain ceremon 
 ials, sublimated regeneration and other dangerous errors. These 
 conceits result in enormous crops of popeish priests, calvanistic 
 dodgers of the real Sovereignty, Arminian ranters of free will, 
 Unitarian grunters against the Trinity, high-minded deists, besides 
 multitudes of infidel parasites whose motives seldom rise above 
 the iiesh and the present. 
 
 Fourth. — It might be concluded reasoning a priori or from 
 cause to effect that any covenant Jehovah might impose would be 
 the expression of Soverignty in anti-abolition terms. x\nd so it is. 
 The firat command is in terms to His pure minded and pure 
 sealed slave in Eden — thou shalt not. Had not the' potentiality 
 of meaiation dwelt in the bosom of the Sovereign He w^ould have 
 destroyed Adam at the moment when the first anti-slavery thought 
 was transformed into aci. But the potentiality, the Logas, ex- 
 isted aionieally^ a term which imports the divine klowledge that 
 sinful life couJd be redeemed. And His knowledge being infinite, 
 involves fore-knowledge of His only Mediatory Priest to be sent 
 into the world and subjected, vicariously, to the soul-abolishing 
 death introduced by Satan. Had Adam not sinned no blood of 
 atonement would have been required, and death would have been 
 the chariot ascent of himself and all his children up to a more per- 
 fect existence. The first command to the first Adam and the ac- 
 cepted atonement of the second Adam (both the command and the 
 acceptance being expressions of the Jehovic Sovereignty,) it is 
 certain that the final judgment vvill proceed in -pari materia. 
 That is, the now re-jurrected and glorified Priest will be seated in 
 awful majesty upon the great white throne, the just slave- ho /ding 
 Judge of angels, devils and men, from whose infallible sentence 
 there can be no appeal. 
 
 Fifth. — Human nature is fallen, fallen, and hates the truth ; 
 and hence the very parts of the great slaveholder's revelation 
 that ought to be exactly translated by scholars are the very parts 
 untranslated. For instance the Donay Bible was done into a liv- 
 ing tongue to suit papistry; and King James' to suit certain no- 
 tions of British religion. 
 
 Sixth.- -The mediatorial rescue of the sinning man from in- 
 
slant death, the care of human life in its origin and extension to 
 maturitj^and old age ; then into Hades, and on to the resurrec- 
 tion of Ihe body ; also liberty from the burden of ceremonial 
 laws in connection with the obligation of allegiance due the law- 
 giver — all these privileges are extended to man Ihrough the aton- 
 ing Mediator. But multitudes use the privileges and the liberty 
 bought for them, to sneak over to the false Freedomite. Some- 
 times they go defiantly. The Jews went back on their allegi- 
 ance repeatedly, and to this day are suffering under the return of 
 their follj, 
 
 Seventh,--As soon as any material is vitalized by the primal 
 act of creation, or is boru into existence, the creature begins to 
 die. Were the highest archangel, tiie very perfection of creative 
 wisdom and power, to become an abolitionist, his slowly waning 
 life would be swallowed up of the abolishing death'; he, by his 
 own act, having placed himself outside the purview of mediation, 
 and therefore outside the life renewing relation. This is the con- 
 dit-^on of Satan who is n^;^ immortal by the primal creative act. 
 Certain angels fought the proud rebel, holding on to their alle- 
 giance to the unseen God. They are tlierefore the elect, but 
 Would themselves die, if He who alone hath immortality would 
 relegate them to their own ( Divinely) unaided conservation of 
 the life energy conveyed in the creative act. The same is true of 
 tJie faithful in this evil world, which is in fact the initial purgato- 
 ry for education of whoever is determined to attain eternal life. 
 The unfaithful will sink under retributive pu'>ishments ; either in 
 Hades, the fatality awaiting unrighteous daughters of Eve ; or in 
 Gehenna, the fatality of wicked men, damned because they suf- 
 fered the nature common to fallen man to be transformed into 
 the image of the primal abolitionist. 
 
 The foregoing analysis gives us an insight into the opposite 
 educational inlluences proceeding from the Good Sovereign and 
 the evil sub-sovereign. There are two organizations of the wick- 
 ed one that have outlived their bloody and devilish origins. Ev- 
 ery one knows of the long drawn out Pope, the vicar of the sub- 
 sovereign, who for ages used worthless kings as his butchers, and 
 to retain power would would do so again. The other is the Gope 
 (g. o. p.) the British fed sorcecer who used fanatical "sovereigns" 
 AQ its butchers, and to retain, power would do so again. The high 
 God of the one is a white Pope raised high above the people up- 
 on a paganish throne. The high god of the other is a negrophilic 
 pope whose height is measured by the degredation of American 
 liberty. Both of these organizations must be exterminated. 
 
 It seems that one Abraham Lincoln some forty or more years 
 ago spent a good deal of the eternity allotted for saving his own 
 soul to educating the gopish party into the grand ideas that final- 
 ly made him a sort of God to those creatures. The sons of Amer- 
 ican liberty have no concern with the private character of that 
 
8 
 
 man, much less with that of his latter day worshippers. The lat- 
 ter are slop moral and reptilian, living on pope Lincoln^s consci- 
 entiousness like frogs on a greenish marsh. As a man of kind- 
 ly impulses Lincoln might hare been far above his cotemporaries, 
 to say nothing of the venemoas litter whose souls hang on the 
 chance of getting hold and holding on to the measly "govern- 
 ment" he left behind." We think that he was better, but it fol- 
 lows not that any except moral runts, should canonize six and a 
 half feet of fanatical conscience. 
 
 The people of to-day are concerned with that man only as the 
 head centre of political diabolism, a sort of idol or God-father of 
 the present band of land pirates and plutocrats, who to perpetu- 
 ate their ungodly victory over the principles of Democracy tread 
 down the poor of their own blood, blareing meanwhile their gop- 
 ish righteous'ness through and through the great brazen tem- 
 ple of mammon. 
 
 We do not forget that victory for these upstarts was won by 
 democratic Generals and soldiers. Neither do we forget that 
 when the Southern sons of seventy-six could light no longer the 
 men who wore the blue, and had thought that the "Union" reso- 
 lution of Congress was not an abolition lie, desired to stay the 
 fury of the "reconstruction" hounds. Men of real magnanimity, 
 like McClellan and Hancock, and their honorable minded but 
 deluded soldiery, took no stock in the abolishments of the con- 
 stitution called "amendments" by the gory Fakirs of the "new na 
 tion." Neither would we return to the dead past, remembering 
 that Providence is sovereign against the vain "sovereignty" of 
 both Yankee and Southron. He educates i'or His own King- 
 dom by showing himself pure to the pure ; froward, to the fro- 
 ward. He gave for a set time His peculiar people who constant- 
 ly degraded themselves by allegiance to idols, mean kings and. 
 corrupt priests, lo the will of idolatrous conquerors. For corrective 
 punishment He gives the South, temporarily, a conquest of political 
 fools, and the whole nation to the corrective retribution of boast- 
 ing, bragging, self-righteousness run mad. Will they prove the 
 sort of of two fools that have to be brayed in a mortar ? 
 
 Man has yet to learn that rendering allegiaiice to any Pope, King 
 or any human government is a beastly sin. The unpardonable of- 
 fences against God are not estimated by a Law, as sin commonly 
 is. Eendering allegiance to any creature is worse than common 
 sin. It is highly improbable that the holy angels were ever 
 placed under Law. The' motives, then, of the arch rebel grew out 
 of his own consciousness of, and rebellion against, the limitations 
 of his power due to the fact of creatureshijp. His abolition of- 
 fense trasformed the once holy angel into the red embodiment, the 
 very fountain of sin ; and his reprobation may have been sealed 
 by his policy of forcing the inferior angels, who had been led 
 astray by liiin, to render to himself the all^'giance due to God on- 
 ly. Hence he was and is the sinner in view of the elect angels ; 
 
just as the Pope is the sinner in view of the inspired apostles and 
 the naartyrs murdered at his command. 
 
 Here, then, is the parallel between the pope and the gope. 
 Each is an usurpation, investing its beastliness in allegiance 
 raiment stolen from the King of kings. Both are therefore 
 branded slaves of the bad sub-sovereign, enemies of the human 
 race, outlawed by the lawgiver, and should be outlawed in the 
 mind of every human being with a soul worth saving. 
 
 But where are the "powers that be" who must hurl these usur- 
 pers down or continue to wear their yoke ? They are everywhere 
 — the people, the people, the long suffering victims of false alle- 
 giance. True, the people themselves must be educated up to the 
 real Democratic self-governing standard. But modern events are 
 rapid educators, and the people of this spurious nation to whose 
 like christians centuries ago rendered, not allegiance, but a pa- 
 tient God-commanded obedience, designed by the Sovereign for 
 the silent education through all pagan and popish ages of ungodly 
 subjects, must also render a temporary obedience in the hope of 
 peacable reform, unless the Gopes who took the sword gainst 
 American liberty shall keep up their Neroish policj'-, and thus 
 persist in perishing by the sword. 
 
 The great fight between the powers of Good and Evil in respect 
 to possession of the soul of man is still going on. How can man 
 himself end the contest, and in favor both of the mediator and 
 himself? There are two modes open. If the Gope shall still seek 
 to chain Liberty by forcing allegiance to their Britico Negro gov- 
 ernment, their favorite bayonet mode M-ill be in order; and may- 
 hap will spontaneously evolute as follows : The, people, composed 
 of nearly all the democratic party and of laboring men, en masse, 
 will resolve themselves into a committee of the whole, (outside of 
 congress) to declare a state of outlawry against any organization 
 that renders allegiance to a foreign power. This will be virtually 
 a war of extermination against the Gope, which, by stuffing^red 
 allegiance into the free, unforced and unforceable League of 
 States, made a "government" foreign to American liberty. It will 
 be the same against the varnished j^aganism, as a foreign or- 
 ganization on our soil paying and demanding from its member- 
 ship the most servile loyalty to the foreigner at Rome. Quite 
 likely the pub-traders in souls and bodies of white men will cry 
 aloud to the grand Tuttleish army of gars (g. a. r.) to cut 
 other loyal capers in the impending civil wa)" of 'tother rumbelUon. 
 It seems that the inspired exile did not recognize the dirty gope 
 party as much of an abolisher of God's ordainments ; for, in his 
 vison of the last great fight the bond appear as well as the iree, 
 the small as well as the great. When the Sons of Adam, who are 
 told by every species of blatherskite, that they are free, shall find 
 out that they are in fact bondmen to a "gubment."-theivery, in- 
 stead of citizens of an American socialism, free as against each 
 other, the little preliminary to the European supper, will be held 
 
10 
 
 in the U. 8.; and there will be an evening up with the supporters 
 of diabolism by acts of confiscation. This will not involve the 
 forcing of religion upon any one. When the ground, covered by 
 idol-houses and monkeries, shall have been taken and converted 
 to honest uses, the Anti-christ will have to open shop in private. 
 But the beauty of retributive justice will not be seen until the 
 ill-gotten wealth of the gopeish land pirates shall have been ded- 
 icated, partly to removal of all the negroes to tlfeir natal Africa 
 and partly to the soldiery upon whom the privilege of snake kill- 
 ing may devolve; enough -'seed corn" being left, the surviving 
 reconstructed "reconstruction" robbers and tyrants to start — an 
 honest life. Then it may begin to dawn in the minds of the same 
 old abolition lebels, so happily set free from the bad slavery of 
 Plutocrats on one side and Anarchists on the other, that they did 
 not quite abolish God Almighty when they 'bolished s-1-a-a-very, 
 and that the finger of the slaveholder who wrote the ten words is 
 rather a better guide to morality than the pen of the anti-slavery 
 who wrote the emancipation screed. 
 
 Here the other mode comes up, the success of which depends 
 upon the practical answer to the grave question, whether man is 
 capable of self government. He is not self-governing now. The 
 difference between the sand-bagged U. S. and other nations is 
 merely one of degrees in Satanism. The divine rightism of Kings 
 is supplemented here by Gope-Czarism. The equality claimed 
 by Jefferson meant the political equality of white men. The vic- 
 torious Gope swore that the preamble meant Hottentotism — be- 
 fore the law! and from that to the iguonimious subjection of De- 
 mocracy to the giibment the high law beast has swelled to the 
 bursting point: — like the puffed up arch rebel whose self impor- 
 tance among the angels burst into abolitionism. Fed on human 
 blood, the personified murderer swelled into an enormous Dogtick 
 that eventually burst and is yet scattering its poison among the 
 fifty or sixty millions of so called self-governing people. These 
 besotted wretches compare themselves with the brutalized sub- 
 jects of the Czar, and even with the abjects of Hottentot rulers^ 
 and are lifted by the operation of their snide mental flopments to 
 a persuasion of equality with the Divine Being. 
 
 It ought to be plain to every patriot, if there are any existing, 
 that a Convention of States (not semblances) should be demanded 
 by those now holding the shameful relation of subjugators and 
 subjugated. Since the thirteen declared themselves Independen- 
 cies, (they being united by that Declaration only) more than 100 
 years have rolled away. Heed the lessons of history and the peo- 
 ple can and will get out of this infernal oath gaggery, and will 
 form a still more perfect union upon the solid ground of seventy- 
 six honor. 
 
 A word as to style. That of the United (States) has been used 
 by sophists to denote an union by force. Federal has also been 
 degraded until the once free federation has been subverted into a 
 
11 
 
 murder shop. Every Anglo-Saxon union over here has been con- 
 federate, except the first, which was British and tyranical, and 
 the present, which is Britico-Congo and diabolical. Therefore we 
 nominate in good faith the title. Confederate States of America, 
 as the one more clearly defining the compact of honor between 
 States as against a false federation of escaped British provinces 
 disunitfcdly united by the bayonet, Mark this: Suhjugatlon, 
 stuck as a means of union into the American system, by the hy- 
 pocritical aid extended to the fanatics by old Nig-pope Soakall, is 
 apologised for by the very polite under the phrase, "this is an in- 
 dissoluble union of indestructable states." This is but an eu- 
 phemism for monarchy. A figment of monarchy, called treason, 
 was put into the Constitution. The Southern Confederacy servile- 
 ly copied the figm*ent. But the Gopes, having traitorhed the U. 
 S. Government into an enemy oi-i\\e lawful union, swore out their 
 ow^n black treason against the States South, and against idndivid- 
 ual patriots in the North. Swear, not at all, saith Christ; much 
 less swear allegiance to human contrivances. Rebellion and 
 treason and such stuff is stuck into the social compact by lawyers 
 who know but little, if anything, of Divine law: Were the seve- 
 ral states based upon the Divine Covenant, crimes of every de- 
 gree, including those against the social state, could be punished 
 as against the dignity of the State and Majesty of Jehovah. A 
 union of such States would be, in effect, a christian confed'^ration, 
 out of which every abolition whelpery should be run like a mad 
 dog, its more honorable citizens to be thereupon aided by the 
 Democratic Confederation, by open declaration of war, to kill out 
 and disfranchise the individual devil-spawns within its limits. 
 Thus purged, the State could and should rejoin the Confederacy, 
 by the wise decision of voting responsibilities, unawed and un- 
 bludgeoned by any force w^hatever. The noble statesmanship of 
 pure Democracy tends, in fact, to the universal confederation of 
 peoples. The gangrened ferocity of narrow-minded, dirty-souled, 
 equality-mongering. smart fools tends to a Mahomedan-like unity 
 of foTce and the utter ruin of all that it ^an trample on. 
 
 The following are the main problems for the convention; or, if not 
 called, for the solution of supp"sed-to-be capables of just govern- 
 ment: What changes in land polites are essential? Whether 
 Executives and Judiciaries exclusive of legislatures and congresses, 
 cannot justly conduct government of, by and for the white people, 
 without injury to the inferior race now in our midst? How can 
 the people be relieved of the present plutocracy and taxation rob- 
 bery ? What are just prohibitions upon the people themselves, 
 such as their authority over the manufacture of intoxicants, and, 
 if manufactured, over the sale? How to inaugurate free trade 
 and direct taxation ? How to effect the seperation of races on an 
 equitable basis ? How to dispose of the so called debt, of paper- 
 ish money, and banks of issue ? And whatever is essential to the 
 healthy condition of the several Democratic Republics, and their 
 
12 
 
 right confederation into one republic ? 
 
 The first evil to be noticed is the legalized robberry of the many; 
 it is world wide: Abroad, the legalized nursing of the few is the 
 chief end of government which generously "protects" the Hodges 
 and their families, and piously exhorts all of them to sweat for 
 the public good. In the U. S. paper "money" is the maker of our 
 since the-waw Few who, as a rule produce nothing, and yet are 
 bloated to enormity with wealth. Not being dug out of the 
 ground nor due to brainwork in science, art, literature, or inven- 
 tive genius, wealth thus piled up must represent the swindling of 
 society at large, and the "laws" are mere cards stocked to win by 
 the sharpers. 
 
 Now, what is money ? Nothing is, except certain metals, im- 
 bedded in the formative rocks, mined by human labor, converted 
 by human skill into coins, and stamped b}^ a defacto Be-power. It 
 is the medium which facilitates the exchange of things having 
 value; its own value as such medium being dependent upon its 
 adaptation to the uses of exchange between and among all nations 
 and in every age. No people are self governing who grant to 
 corporations or to government itself a sliding yard stick adapta- 
 ble to a don't-pay-as-you-go socialism. P.aper issued by any Be- 
 povv^er or by its so styled banks which cannot be redeemed at 
 once is nothing but a circulating mortgage upon labor. Former- 
 ly that was thought to be a good bank which issued two-thirds pa- 
 per on one-third specie* Such bills were in fact only time checks 
 drawn by those bankers on the cloudy Bank, Future Prosperity. 
 But that far off Bank sometimes failed to respond to the hopes of 
 the legalized speculators. Something, or other spoiled the cotton 
 and weevils eat the wheat, The Cottontots were surrounded by 
 debts for land and negroes and everything. They could not get 
 hold of enough of the lithographed paper to pay the little mer- 
 chants and the little ones could not pay the big ones and the big 
 ones could not pay the "banks." Times got "h-a-r-d." Distrust 
 flapped her gloomy wings over the scene and down went the pa- 
 perish frauds, turning loose the ten-honored panic and the lawyers, 
 to raid town and country. That was current history. How is it 
 now ? The three-third evidences of a huge national crime are 
 palmed off as money, and the productive industry of every subject 
 of that nation is under mortgage to it and to its pets, the legalized 
 dealers in legalized "green goods." 
 
 Adoption of the solid medium ot exchange, extermination of 
 the credit system and right adjustment of the land and labor prob- 
 lems will be the triumphs of the Confederation. Everybody as- 
 sumes that there are too kinds ot labor, free and slave. The 
 broad fact is that there is no such thing as free labor in civilized 
 society. If man could prolong his life like the animals who live 
 on the bounties of nature, he, like them, would not labor for him- 
 self, except to eat, much less ^or any one else. To the animals 
 the ground is not sin-cursed. But the civilized masses finding 
 
13 
 
 themselves without land to work on and no capital except mus- 
 cular ability or mental skill are, as hirelings, compelled to serve 
 some individual or other or some corporation or other, or to steal 
 from sombody. Tracing motives up to their source, reason can- 
 not find any solid ground of support for free labor. Men form the 
 habit of industry and work from the habit, but there is a precedent 
 compulsion due to the relation of an unclothed non-aireating 
 creature to the sin-cursed ground ; besides the added compulsion 
 of "civilized laws." 
 
 Why is it that agriculture in England is reduced to despair? 
 Because the land is juggled into the hands of theFew. The far- 
 mer cannot buy ; he rents. The aristocratic value of the land be- 
 ing very high the rent must be so high that competition with the 
 wheat, etc., of the new and cheaper landi: of Australia and Amer- 
 ica is impossible. Hence bankruptcy of English farmers and 
 dispersion of their industrial slaves is inevit ible. But the case 
 of England is to some extent the case of christondom. Now, what; 
 is christiandora going to do about it ? 
 
 Herbert Spencer thinks that the evil may be remedied by 
 nationalization of the land. Henry George advocates a single tax 
 on land values. It is a pity that these mental giants try to build 
 on infidel ground. If the Creator made the land/rec it ought not to 
 be held us property, or have any tax value whatever. 
 
 It was the Sovereign who gave the land of the idol worshippers 
 by lot to the twelve tribes and to the heads of famalies in naeh 
 tribe. He recognized those holdings as property which might be 
 alienated, but only for a limited time; and he specially protected 
 the weaker or more improvident members of the confederate Israel- 
 ite nation, or republic, by-laws against land monopoly, usury, and 
 cruelty to slaves. 
 
 It must be admitted, thin freedomism aside, that Mr. George 
 has formed a philosophical theory ; and it maj- be made to work 
 so as to knock paternalism in the head. In proportion as indi- 
 viduals families cities and States become self-supporting the need 
 of governments will cease. The Tweed-like fed-paternalism that 
 scoops taxes to first gorge itself and pals, mere hirelings of dis- 
 cord and disseminators of lies, and then with paternal smirk doles 
 back the surplus stealings to favored sections, to teach schools or to 
 do anything representatively that the integers should do for them- 
 selves, is a political boodler and maker of "law" gasmeters than 
 whom none can be greater asses in the view of heaven excej)t the 
 constituents who pay such Baalisms for their sma't iniquities. 
 
 The people should now go to thinking in order to get rid of 
 the crimes of the Gopes as conservatively of Society as possible. 
 For instance, the interest bearing bonds should be converted into 
 currency, and the currency burned in the Treasury as fast as real 
 money can be substituted. As to pensional equity my idea is 
 this : a reasonable tax on whiskey and tobacco should be levied 
 
14 
 
 and set apart for soldiers, North and South, who need support by 
 reason of wounds received while in the service of either govern- 
 ment. Either pensions to all, or to none. This tax falls of 
 course on those who use whisky or tobacco, and the teetotaler 
 might well afford to buy and pour out libations upon the earth 
 for the benefit of maimed soldiers on each side, 7iot ior the bene- 
 fit of beggarly Hessians, the ready made voting and shooting 
 tools of lying '-rebel-yelping" demagogues. 
 
 Protection also, the ever-squalling infant of Mossback Whig- 
 gery, begotten of Ignorance, is to be hustled off, conservatively to 
 laborers, and as fast as possible. Were every custom house 
 around the China like fraud pen blown into the air, and tho peo- 
 ple actuated in their land policy by the spirit of the Mosaic econ- 
 omy, the U. S. plus 0. S. of America, would contam as much 
 happiness as is consistent with this life. Not that everybody 
 would be equally rich, but present extremes would be impossible. 
 Watch the pals of protection. Do they vex the ear of Congress 
 for a, duty on the foreign able bodied paupers ? Oh no ? When 
 the pent-in swindle begins to react and the nabobs are getting 
 poor, i. e. not making a hundred or more dollars an hour, they 
 squeeze their laborers to starvation point ; and when American 
 laborers kick, the able bodied "paupers" are then glad to cut un- 
 der skilled native be rn labor. And the Nabob who yells loudest 
 for laws to protect American labor is the one who gobbles the 
 fruits cf such "laws." He is the "American," the fat Carnegie 
 or the pecksniJf Wannamaker tliat eats the pudding. But hold I 
 No more tarilf right now. Let workers for wages keep in mind 
 what big-mouthed party it is that does not protect the poor. 
 
 Provision should also be made for sending the negroes back to 
 the Continent where the first pair, or pairs, were created. The 
 exodus is made necessary by the hypocricies of the one-race fa- 
 natics. The negro is not to be consulted, and our only concern 
 is to make the transfer fairly, equitably, justly. Defer to the 
 negro as to an Adamite, and every buck would follow the exam- 
 ple of the oratorical pet of the gopes, the copper bellied wooly 
 head ; and the breeders of ^Esthetic sluts at the N-a-r-t-h would 
 soon be accommodated with sons-in-law of the strictest gopeish 
 smell. This would be a phase ot their universal f-a-a-thership 
 of G a-w-d and brotherhood of m-a-a-n that would serve the 
 whole pack of forcers of "manhood" sufl'rage upon the South ex- 
 actly right. 
 
 The Bible will yet be vindicated against the religious idiocy of 
 popery and protestantism. Let seekers after Truth think over 
 this illustration : Suppose an "inhabitant of Mars is somehow 
 transported to England. He returns home and can talk of noth- 
 ing but the Queen, the Queen. Would not his hearers conclude 
 that England was a place where nobody lived but the Queen ? 
 When the Bible speaks of the one blood the allusion is to the 
 
15 
 
 race descended from the Man made in the Divine Image, (i. e. 
 holy, not immorfal.) The Ethiopians of the Book are the 'Aby- 
 sinians, inclusive doubtless of the Arabs, whose skins are dark- 
 ened by the scoreliing desert sun. They are children of Abra- 
 ham by Hagaar, the beautifnl Egyptian slave of Sarah, They 
 are the Ishtnaeliles of Scripture ; and, as to blood, as pure as 
 were their parentage, all the way back to Adam. 
 
 Christian philosophy will yet assert the anthropological truths: 
 That the first negro was not created in the Divine Image ; that his 
 femalie was not taken from his side, but was an independent cre- 
 ation; that no command was given him by the Sovereign ; that 
 various pairs were created in several localities ; and that they, in 
 their native state, live, propagate and die, and are as unresurrec- 
 table as the animals lower than themselves in the creative scale. 
 Moreover, through slavery to the superior creation our negroes 
 have been gradually educated up to the salvatory standard. True, 
 the administration, always strict, was frightened by incendiary 
 abolition prints ; a fright which, together with a sort of resentful 
 infidelity growing out of the religious and political harping on 
 natural equality, etc., superinduced a policy of keeping the 
 slaves in ignorance of letters ; and, in some instances, degenera- 
 ted into utter selfishness and brutality. But even the wrong ad- 
 ministration of the right relation was a good to the negro, if, 
 thereby he might attain standing in the covenant, and hope of 
 the better life hereafter. The white master, whether he recog- 
 nized or did not recognize his similar relation to the sovereign 
 of the universe demanded such obedience as was due to the rela- 
 tion of master and slave, and was thus an educator of his slaves 
 into the possibilities of vital Christianity and of the resurrec- 
 tion of the just. 
 
 We next take up the prohibition matter in order to size up 
 "Christians" who get drunk on spirituality instead of spirits, and 
 here definition is essential. All Adamites are fallen, but not 
 eG[ually so. The gradation may be marked, natural fools, hypo- 
 crites, reprobates and blasphemers. The hypocrite is a natural 
 who takes up with the fact of mediation, but feels that he is a 
 sort of Christ himself. He takes his dried-apple conscience into 
 his confidence and from his spiritual saloon sub judges, t'other 
 Christ and all mankind. He gels ^^ncZer-hold and floors Christ 
 himself. The reprobate is different. Practically and perhaps 
 mentally he rejects the Mediator in toto ; and launches out into 
 tiie unexplorable ocean of Deism. Mark you, both these classes 
 of sinners are forgivable ; only however upon repentance. Re- 
 pentance of sins is the condition precedent to forgiveness of 
 sins. But the blasphemer cuts himself off from repentance. 
 Why ? Because he has sinned against the at-one-ing Spirit, has 
 passed beyond the utmost limits of hypocrisy and reprobation, 
 and given himself wholly to the soul abolisher. 
 
 I submit to every reasonable mmd whether those Rev. Bung- 
 
16 
 
 starters who seem to have forgotten (if they ever knew) that 
 they in all their spiritual bigness will have to stand in judgment 
 before that very Christ who turned water into wine, do not be- 
 long to the sin drunken family of hypocrites, and are therefore 
 allies of the Pope and of his raoralJbrat the Gope ? 
 
 Had God purposed to fill the Earth with naked Christians, He 
 would either have destroyed the originator of evil, or kept him 
 out of Eden. Then, had Adam disobeyed the command the mo- 
 tive would have come solely from within himself, and the Evil 
 one would not have been sucked into the breast of our ma^e pro- 
 genitor along with the motive. In this case total depravity 
 would have been eliminated from the problem of redemption, 
 and the means of attaining eternal life would be exactly adapt- 
 ed to the changed conditions. And further to guard a great 
 family of goody men and women from minor evils and from the 
 necessity of attaining and living out Christian morality by 
 conquering every temptation the Creator might have planned so 
 that no grape could grow and no distillable grain mature. And 
 still further, in order to make "getting to heaven" just as easy as 
 falling off" a log He might have slid off His own throne, having 
 first appointed an order of puritans to corkscrew every stomach 
 to keep souls very r-r-right. We have the puritans, but where 
 is the millenium ? Poor goody creatures ! They are appointed, 
 but not by the sovereign. 
 
 Were not our nature the direct inheritance from the totally 
 depraved man, then there might be a world of just such reli- 
 gious baboons. Our D. D.'s are the modern Rabbies who forget 
 that we of the Pauline one blood are descended from Adam, after 
 he had lost the Divine Image. Hence the idea of a lurking pre- 
 sin holiness in our race independent of the depravity--eradicating 
 education due to the special mercy shown to a peculiar people 
 and the loyal acceptance of Grace by a few of our an 
 cestors who kept no image in their bodily temples except that 
 of the pure creator, and who loved and obeyed Jehovah as their 
 Lawgiver. To such ancestry our race is indebted for ohe few 
 Samuels and Timothies and Chalmers whose souls go up to God 
 as the flames rise toward heaven. The abuses oT the various 
 gifts of the Creator (pure wine is one) and of the severalties of 
 the One broad relatioil ordained by the sovereign, (of which 
 marriage is the basis) constitute the shame and ruin of "Chris- 
 tendom." For instance it is not to be denied that the wrong 
 trade in girls prevail wherever extremes in riches and poverty 
 prevail. In Britain where souls are saved by law — and the 
 Queen — that trade is plied by me lords and gentry almost under 
 the nose of the petticoated "head of the church." There is a Sa- 
 turnian protection of girlish life by "law" that does not prohibit 
 the secret traffic by hypocrites who take fits at the bare idea of 
 holding negroes as slaves. Now the moral is this : If every vine 
 Was aug up und every still and brewery broken to^ pieces and all 
 
17 
 
 the "law" factories put to running 366 days in the vear would the 
 human heart be less viperous ? Alas ! Sin drunkenness would 
 not be eradicated, and its sottishness misht result in a world of 
 unconscious hypocrites esteeming themselves justified and sanc- 
 tified, the very sons and daughters of God. 
 
 I he covenant covers the moral ground of creaturely action. 
 And as everything emanating from God is purposed for good (not 
 for evil) it follows that the slave ordainments subsidiary to the 
 covenant are merely lentative. For instance, if all were in fact 
 CO actuators with the Mediator, the ordained "powers that be," or 
 civil government in any form, would be useless. Satan himself is 
 classifiable as a i)Ower. But we are not therefore to pay him 
 homage or serve him in any way — rather all are invited and 
 should run into the covenant for protection against that insidious 
 creature and his agents in the world, the wicked popes and kings 
 and governments. When the covenant shall be universally obeyed 
 the gifts of the Creator and the christian relations of this life will 
 be used, not abused. The husband will be the loving Master, 
 the wife his loving slave — not a couple of free love traders tied in 
 the bonds of divorce. The people of the Adamic race over the 
 whole earth, each under his own vine and figtree, will regulate 
 eating and drinking by the Bible idea of temperance, not by the 
 fanaticism of preachers or priests or legislatures. 
 
 But is not drunkenness a fearful evil? Certainly. And in the 
 present badly abolitionized state of society I shall not deny the 
 duty of a wise regulation of the business of selling intoxicants. 
 But what is government to do about the social evils greater than 
 mis managed or mal-managed saloons 1^ The surface workers for- 
 get again that every gutter-drunkard, every inmate and frequenter 
 of harlot houses, and every gambler was once an infant who was 
 not pre-destinated by an Almighty Fatelist to fall into such courses 
 some billions of ages before he or she was born. Fatalism pro- 
 ceeds from sources infinitely lower than the Supreme. Therefore 
 let all people take less and less stock in all governments and 
 churches, more or less obstructing the coming of God's Kingdom on 
 earth, each head of a family concentrating a wise care over his own 
 household, i. e., his domestic slaves, not "bought with money." Then 
 the bigots of a sumptuary papacy and the deistic reprobates, de- 
 prived of their mischief making occupations, may go to work on 
 their own sinfulness ; may repent and obtain forgiveness of their 
 several besetting sins; may be fully converted and filled with the 
 glorious allegiance to the great King, and finally be carried by the 
 angels into a state of existence when no abolition snake shall ever 
 again enter, every button on his voluminous trail a saloon full of 
 all sorts of evil. 
 
 Reverting to the imposition of the present subverted union and 
 government I re-affirm, as with the j)en of the old patriots, that 
 the right of secession is not and cannot be destroyed. The peo- 
 ple then, of every section must uinte, as of old, to re-inaugurate 
 
the undying principles of the declaration. Fools perish : Truth' 
 is imperishable. If there is any so called state so viperous with 
 gopeism that it cannot come into the honorable union let it stay 
 out ! Not a drop of blood will be shed to bludgeon the sm-drunken. 
 diabolized fool into the democratic federal compact of honor. 
 
 But the South herself can muster a few persons of note who can- 
 not away with the old million-gummed piece of monarchical taffy 
 that secession is rebellion. The idea of the respectable fossils is^ 
 that no state had or has a constitutional right to secede. This is- 
 like looking up to the firmament and exclaiming, 1 see no firma- 
 mental right to walk on the earth, and so I must climb a tree — a^ 
 tootle tree at that. 
 
 But argue our friends, General Lee thought as we do. It mat- 
 ters not what General Lee thought. We know that he acted, just 
 as Washington would have acted, could he have returned. In fact, 
 in a -sense, the secession sons of seventy-six re-appeared and 
 nominated the confederates as their representatiyes. In the sub- 
 lime defense of undying political principles Gen. Lee lost more 
 men in one battle than was lost by his congener Gen. Washing- 
 ton, in all his battles. These are the sons of Truth who losing 
 their lives will find them again. The principle that governments 
 desire their just powers from the consent of the governed is the 
 principle upon which States are formed ; and it was just as good 
 before the thirteen provinces fired a musket in its defense as when 
 vindicated by a seven years war. And it is just as good to-day, 
 though these Southern States were and are trampled under the 
 hoofs of a wicked nation. Neither the bayonet attempt of the one 
 or the bayonet sitccess of the other can destroy the principle. A 
 dog-souled bully might knock senseless and violate a helpless 
 woman ; and, tortured into a death in life existence she might 
 "consent" to the forced companionship of the stinking brute. But 
 that extorted consent would not condone the infamy of the one or 
 shame of the other. 
 
 With the light of truth it is easy to see wherein lies the mis- 
 take of Gen. Lee, and of many cultured intellects. The fallen 
 angel can appear to the noblest of minds as an angel of light. 
 Thus he diffuses a smoky religious impression that God has ordain- 
 ed vicegerency on the earth, in some form or other. Papists and 
 Episcopalians who trace an imaginary succession from the apostles, 
 are much to blame for the existence of this notion. While on 
 earth, Christ was the vicar of Jehovah. In order to found the 
 Kingdom, he communicated to his apostles a portion of his divine 
 power and authority over demons and sinners. Since the death 
 of the last apostle Christ ha^ not ordained and never will ordain a 
 vice-gerent, or a succession of any such officials, religious or politi- 
 cal. The notion of vice-gerency is hid in the cry, vox p)opuli vox 
 dei ; and in that delusion we find the key to the action of the 
 Northern democracy who were impelled to obey the call of a fan- 
 atical one-racist, evoluted into an anti-American and anti- 
 
19 
 
 Christian Be-power, or supposed vox dei ; and as such he is en- 
 titled to the distinguished style of Slab-sides the 1st who has left 
 his dirty apostles to perpetuate the Gopish Kingdom. These 
 apostles need not sweat any more virtue over the ''encourage- 
 ment" given to "rebels" by the democratic party in the North. 
 The Jackal in the United States Senate who denounced Han- 
 cock as an encourager is but a flab of old Lord North wlio denounced 
 Burke for encourageing Hancock's grand father as a "rebel." Such 
 unsavory s- aviours of the n-a ational life are impervious to the fact 
 that both George Washington and Jefferson Davis acted vastly 
 more from the inspiration of political freedom than upon the 
 sympathy of those who nutralized their magnanimity by continu- 
 ing inUeigaiice to the eff'ete old King George IH or honest old Em- 
 peror, Slabsides the 1st, Had Lincoln and his gang been really 
 honest, they having assumed that slavery is a sm and further 
 union with the South the worst ef crimes, would have urged the 
 secession of the North from the South. Their "honest}'^" led them 
 into the devils allegiance, and their vile successors thrust the bal- 
 lot, no doubt with the same sort of honesty, upon the negro. By 
 their idea of a republic, congress ought to go on legalizing until 
 females shall represent females in the "law-factories, minors repre- 
 sent minors, and so on. What a prospect for the victorious Gope! 
 If it could get the votes of all the white fools, free niggei's, high- 
 floop females, small children free work horses and stray cat Je it 
 could build monument on every hillock to its g-a-w-ds, and en- 
 grave thereon, we are jperpetuatecW Honest Quay andDudly et al 
 could rest from their labors for the "great republic." Bah ! Let 
 us take an emetic. 
 
 If old King George could have set foot on the necks of the 
 patriot colonies they would have sweated to pay old George's ex- 
 penses in s-a-a-ving the Br-union, and the same rot would have 
 been current then as now to-wit, that those so called state-makers 
 were rebels, and by secession from the best government the world 
 had ever sq^n had brought the calamities of invasion, repine, 
 slaughter, and debt upon themselves. The British would 
 have chattered over their sufferings in quelling the enemies of 
 good government, and would have sent petitions to parliament for 
 pensions or fat offices. The debt would have still further fattened 
 the aristocracy, another Ireland would have been garrisoned by red 
 coats, and — let us have peace. 
 
 This closes our analysis of political devilism. The power of the 
 evil one over the religious mind will now be analyzed. The uni- 
 versal assumption of innate immortality is one of his masterly 
 delusions, and I beg leave to indicate the kind of education es- 
 sential to attainment of immortal life, reasoned out in the book 
 entitled No-History vs. No-War, as follows : 
 
 First.-;— /Secession from the primal abolitionist, a creature who 
 by the retributive return of his attempt at equal Godship, (inclu- 
 
20 
 
 sive of independent immortality), became the destroyer of him| 
 self and of ail his dupes. Second — Allegiance to the anti abolisher 
 uncreated, the only good Despot. Third — Life-motivity eternaliz- 
 ed. Fourth — Eternalized life confirmed. Secession is the same 
 as repentance : Allegiance, the same as conversion. Life-mo- 
 tivity eternalized, the same as election. Eternalized-life con- 
 firmed, the same as the new birth from above, or regeneration. 
 Taken together these are the graces proceeding through and from 
 the heart-blood of Holy Priest Messiah, by means of which non- 
 immortal souls are educated and made fit for a glorious immortal 
 ity beyond the grave. 
 
 It is essential that the mind be trained to discriminate between 
 the spiritual and material. God alone is a Pure Spirit : All His 
 creatures are material. Every system of theological metaphysics 
 assumes that angels are pure spirits. Nonsense ! Their materi 
 ality is less gross than that ot Adam wdio was formed a little low- 
 er than the angels in his intellectuality, much lower in the gross- 
 ness of his earthy material. 
 
 Believe it or not, the education of creatures of earth and proba- 
 bly that of allresponsibles,is purgatorial. Jesus v;as born of Mary, 
 a pious Jewess, who was ?wf sinless by nature, or immaculate by 
 birth. Eve is ignored by the Lord as the equal of Adam, though 
 the blood of the highest Homo was reproduced in her veins. The 
 Creator did not have to wipe off the blood and wait for the rib to 
 dry into dust before he could proceed with the creation of Eve. 
 Thus the blood of Mary is the same as that of Adam, and hence 
 her son is styled the Son of man. As the Messiah, the Son of 
 man, the promised,Savior, the Christ-Jesus lived and prayed, and 
 fasted and died for the continuous purgation of his own body, 
 soul and Spirit, as well as for sacrificial purity. He fought the 
 •devil in his own behalf when tempted to be loyal to the god of 
 this world. A comparative few have learned of this Savior, that 
 they are strangers hare passing through to «, better world. But 
 the unthinking careless sinners, and the careful dunces who fast 
 and macerate themselves, or look up to a human pope in order 
 to be fit to forgive sins, or to receive forgiveness on account of 
 such false worshipping, are deaf to the monitions of the Holy 
 Spirit as to what sin and righteousness and the coming judgment 
 really are, and will be. 
 
 Hell, as universally misunderstood, is not in the Bible. It is 
 in the English translation and in the imaginations of the vindic- 
 tive or superstitious. Hell-bav^lers think that souls, at death, go 
 straight to God in heaven or straight to the devil in hell. It is a 
 singular commentary upon the mental state of fallen creatures, 
 that the very place when they are sure the wicked one has su- 
 preme power, is where he is not even present. The soulabolisher 
 is here. He cannot die and go into hades. But in the last day 
 he will be condemned to Gehenna, and there his chijdren will 
 meet him again. 
 
21 
 
 Hades and Gehenna, as entities, are revealed in the Bible. 
 What is Hades ? I answer, it is the intermediate state between 
 death and judgment. In hades, the soul though apart from the 
 body, continues its conscious existence, as if the bodily organs 
 slill were acting; soul-material while in that state being similar 
 to that of the angelic creations. To the secessionists from Abad- 
 donism who died also allegiants to the Mediator, Hades is para- 
 dise ; as, to the jDrophets and martyrs to Jesus, and even to the 
 repentai|^ thief who was borne to the paradicial hades after the 
 spirit of the crucified Messiah had gone there. But, to the non- 
 seceding departed, hades is torment. There is a dividing gulf 
 which none can pass while in that scate of existence. These 
 truths are taught in the parable. The rich man, not because he 
 was rich but because his riches had turned him into a selfiish ani- 
 mal, is pursued by his former sin-;, and is in torment. The sins 
 of former life cannot torment those who were actual allegiants, 
 for the}" washed their allegiance in the blood, i. e. the atonement. 
 They died at-one with the lowly Jesus. Their purgation will bS 
 a refining of the soul of dross, while waiting the resurrection of 
 the body. There the souls of the once sinners, such as the vali- 
 ant David, the impetuous Peter, the faithful Abraham, are being 
 purified and made ready, without pain, for re-union with their 
 former bodies when glorified by the first resurrection. 
 
 Here we are met by a solemn question. Is death the night 
 wherein no man can work for his soul-redemption ? Papists in- 
 fer a state of salvatory purgatory, after death ; but its priests 
 spread their sin forgiving wings over a purgatoria of their own, 
 to make'money and frighten the superstitious into the covert of 
 THE church. Protestants scoff at the idea of a purgatory, here or 
 hereafter. In this their ignorance is as cons2)icuous as the pre- 
 sumption of the priests. 
 
 If Hades is not a continuation of this |3l-esent purgatory, what 
 is to become of all those who have been, and are being born in 
 the close corporation of Mahomet ; a system of unitarianism ex- 
 isting for more than a thousand j^ears ? What of those educated 
 to a faith in living to supreme abjectness to priestism, through 
 the long dark centuries of popery ? What of those bred in the 
 close corporation of old Testament Judaism ? The various Oal- 
 vanistic Arminian and Unitarian churches are but little more than 
 close corporations of their respective dogmas. Take e. g., unita- 
 rians nee mahomedans, who prate of God as their Father, but 
 deny the Godship of the Mediator, and reduce him to a dignified 
 creatureship. If Christ is only a creature, however high, the 
 fathership and one-go I faith of IngersoU the deistic infidel is as 
 salvable as that of Channing, or Beecher or Mahomet. 
 
 The key to the mystery of redemption and its extent is found in 
 the truth that there is one and only one Priest whose vicegerent 
 dominion is over Heaven, earth and hades. No created being 
 (man or archangal), can stand in the presence of God as priest. 
 
22 
 
 As well imagine that an eagle could live an instant in the body 
 of the sun which is a stupendous furnace, raging and boiling in 
 storms of fire. Jehovah is He who created the sun, not directly 
 hut through His creative Mediator. This world was also thus 
 created ; and its responsibles are ruled through the priestly Medi- 
 ator, and will be thus governed until the Priest assumes his origi- 
 nal logos'-'hip in the bosom of God. The Aaronic priests and the 
 patriarches were shadows of the great priest not yet come ; God- 
 appointed officials of the priest who was to come in persmi. The 
 real priest having come, the law-made priesthood come t(r an end. 
 The priesthood of the New Testament are actual, made up of 
 (hose whose attainments of faith are spiritualized. The officialism 
 of Rome, of Episcopacy of free-Masonry are nehushtim, forbidden 
 by the rison Priest. 
 
 The term translated, eternal, is designed to convey the idea of 
 B, heginning and ending of 'the redemptive plan inaugurated by 
 the good sovereign, in whom the potentiality of mediation dwelt 
 }*fore the world or man was formed. Endlessness is not predica- 
 ble of that plan. The Aaronic ministry is termed sionic i. e. 
 eternal ; but the entire temple service, as lawful^ came to an end 
 when the second Adam rose from the dead. What sort of a God 
 are these religionists making, who, (they imagine) pursues the 
 damned into Gehenna with endless torments ? The priest is in- 
 deed angry with the wicked fools who degrade his mediatory 
 grace to the uses of the world the flesh or the devil. But the re- 
 demptive relation itself will come to an end; and then Jehovah, 
 even if He had conferred immortality in the primal act of crea- 
 tion would rather annihilate the wicked (their worthlessness hav- 
 ing been judicially determined) than perpetuate their lives, and a 
 corresponding place of endless torment. In short, Gehenna is the 
 materialism prepared for consuming the life of the devil and his 
 angels, and also the lives of the homoic creatures who might 
 have attained immortality but who, as religionists or otherwise, 
 went in the way of the primal anti slavery rebel. 
 
 What then, is Gehenna, as different from Hades ? It is the 
 state of existence beyond hades and beyond the judgment, the 
 place of final doom to all who shall have been resurrected in the 
 body, and j udicially sentenced i6 that place, not primarily prepared 
 for man. The torments there will not proceed from God who 
 was angry with the wicked during the time of merciful probation 
 but from the conditition itself of opposite aionicism. Mediation 
 will have ceased, and the wretched allegiants of satan will be 
 left to themselves and to their no-God ; and retribution, no lon- 
 ger remedial but destructive, will be the grim executione of 
 every one condemned to the second death. 
 
 Where is Gehenna to be located ? None can tell. Inspiration, 
 not of a scientist but of a believer in God, teaches that the ocean 
 is to disappear in universal flames. The scientist might add that 
 
 ert this present cosmic materiality 
 
23 
 
 into the new world. Probably the oceanic basin will be the pit, 
 -of wich Tophet was the figure. Over that vast Gehenna, reveal- 
 ed to the eye of faith as*a lake of fire and brimstone, Retribu- 
 tion will reign until the wailings of the softer sinners and gnash- 
 ings of the stalwarts shall be hushed in the silence of the second 
 death. 
 
 The materialism, the opposite to Gehenna, is named Heaven, 
 and the location will also be this sin-scarred Kosmos after having 
 been purified re-beautified b/ universal flames. Right here, upon 
 this globe, will be the river of life, bearing upon its banks the 
 means of immortality. The faithful of all ages will be here. The 
 great city of God will be located where Jerusalem now is, light- 
 ing with electrical splendor the severalties of the globe, termed in 
 Revelation the seven heavens. The faithful negroes will have 
 their proper place assigned ; and their happiness will 'burst forth 
 in songs of praise to Him who led them through the paths of sla- 
 very to their bright abode. The freedomite anarchists, who be- 
 lieve and act out their belief, that both human and divine law 
 ought to be abolished will not be here. This may be noted, the 
 pure citizens of heaven will be anarchs, but, in a sense, opposite 
 to the anarchists now on earth. The allegiants to Jesus having 
 eaten and digested, so to speak, the ten words and the atonement 
 will need no law from without. Having regained the state of 
 purity impressed by the Holy creator upon the first man — a pur- 
 ity augmented through the atonement— they will be a law unto 
 themselves. Here will in fact be the perfection of that liberty 
 entrusted to sinners in this purgatory and which may be here 
 used to attain the glorious honors of the highest heavens or 
 abused to the lowest Gehennic dishonor. 
 
 They who think that spiritualism and materialism are incon- 
 sistent are apt to imagine that regeneration j^recedes repentance, 
 conversion and election. This is like putting the cart before 
 the horse. A laith that Jesus was born and anointed to be the 
 Ohrist does not justify. Faith in the atonement, or rather in tlie 
 maker of atonement, justifies. What the essentiality of atone- 
 ment is has been indicated. There is no greater nonsense than 
 the theological cackle about univevsal or particular atonement. 
 The transaction is exclusively between the Holy abolition-hating 
 slave-holder and His vi'crtn'oMS slave. Faith in a sort of Deistic 
 tragedy is faith in a pseudo-atonement, and is of no worth. The 
 sinless one died under the curse af imputed sins. The death that 
 he suffered came not from God's bosom. It was the cursed death 
 introduced by the abolition snake, and hence he died as the death 
 substitute for Adamites, ever}'- one of whom Satan-born death 
 would inevitably destroy bnt for that substitution. The accep- 
 tance by Jehovah of the sin-incurred death due to Adam is the 
 at-one-ment between the sovereign and the second Adam. But 
 eternal life is not in the fact that the second Adam offered and 
 the sovereign accepted the atonement. If it were salvation 
 
24 
 
 would be universal. The lamb, the death-sacrifice has aioncallgy. 
 (i. e. eternal]}'') been slain in contemplation of the sin hating 
 God ; and hence "from all eternity'- He is ready to forgive re- 
 pentant sinners, and give them the true life, but 7iot to give life 
 to rebsls against His sovereignty. Every one who abolishes the 
 atonement abolishes as to himself the only ground of eternal life. 
 The eternal life proceeds from the pure priest, seated on the glo- 
 rious mediatorial throne, who ever makes good the atonement for 
 every one who sacrifices the present for the better world, and 
 who uses the means offered through the atonement by the spirit 
 sent from the priest in order to fit themselves for the gift of pure 
 eternalism. Formal worshippers under both dispensations might 
 hold a general faith that without the shedding of blood, innocent 
 of sin, there can be no remission. But until sinners — all are 
 sinners before God ! make the strange and even awful transaction 
 personal, each to himself or herself, as descendants of the fallen 
 man, such faith is lifeless, and whoever does not repent of such 
 faith is in danger of the destro.ying death. 
 
 Christ himself said, ye must be born again. Man therefore 
 hastens to date regeneration a? far back as possible. Official 
 priestism is invoked and thr only church puts infants and all 
 sorts of church-and-saint-worshippers through its regeneration 
 machinery. The extremes of the only are the Baptists who all 
 so set up a the ceurch. Let us see if the Eldership do not fal- 
 into a sort of officialism along with immersionist notions. The 
 fact that the baptism of adults is prominent in the new testa- 
 ment, does not imply that the old ceremonial of the church was 
 dropped out of use. On the contrary it was changed and en- 
 larged to the inclusion of both'sexes. A little child is, so to 
 speak, a little creature of faith in its parents, and the purpose of" 
 the church, both in her old and new testament development was 
 and is to train the young to direct his or her young intuition to 
 the proper object of faith. There is no the church, a one product 
 of rigid law. Circumstances govern. As visible, the Abrahamic 
 church began in Canaan, was induced into Egypt by fear of fam- 
 ine ; there received the ever memorable passover ; was borne 
 through the wilderness ; dwelt in Judean tabernacles ; then in a 
 magnificent temple ; was driven for traitorism to Jehovah, to 
 Babylon ; went into synagogues ; and after the crucifixion would 
 have had scarcely any organization but for the special authority 
 of the apostles. Moreover the baptisms of the church during the 
 old testament education were ablutions of the hands and feet and 
 probably, at times, of the head, not immersion of the whole body. 
 And the priests baptised themselves, not the worshippers. When 
 John came, baptizing the common people also, they and the rul- 
 ers may have supposed that a kingdom of official priests was be- 
 ing formed ; tliat everybody who received the new water ceremo- 
 ny was to be a priest, ipso facto. This thing displeased the rul- 
 ers. It seemed an invasion of their old priestly prerogatives, and 
 
25 
 
 they took no water-priestism in theirs. And afterwards, when 
 the multitude found that that the new kingdom promised by the 
 Baptist was not made up of officials, many of those baptized fel- 
 lows joined the rulers in the cry, away with such a Messiah from 
 the earth ! The rulers took no exceptions, it seems, to John's 
 mof/e of baptism. They was familiar with that, as a priestly cer- 
 emony, old as Moses. And adherence to ceremonies more than 
 to substance caused Christ to denounce those Aaronics as hypo- 
 crites. Stress is laid by the apostles upon the circumcision with- 
 out hands, i. e, baptism by the spirit, described in Acts as a pour- 
 ing out. The burial with Christ is actual, not figurative. The old 
 man, the actual sinner, is left to rot, as in a grave, while the new 
 man, the secessionist from Satanism in its every form, rises to 
 newness of life, the eternal life drawn from the holy Priest in 
 heaven. Faith in the risen Christ and confirmation in that Faith 
 by the spirit, (not by any ereature^ whatever his title or preten- 
 ces) is the Baptism by the Holy Spirit. Ceremonies are nothing 
 compared with substance — with election. The elect are they 
 W'ho by secession are buried with Christ, and are risen with him 
 by fixing allegiance w'^on Him above. This is the new creation^ 
 the soul being educated from infancy, or changed in later lile to 
 love the sovereign. The claim that immersion is baptism, and 
 that none but those old enough to be gnostics of law and regener- 
 ates, are immersible, and that none but they who believe that 
 immersion is law^ and that none but the immersed can participate 
 in the memorial supper, makes up a phase of priestism similar to 
 the pugnacious adherence of the modern Jew to the once ortho- 
 dox ceremonies of circumcision and passover. And the Elder- 
 ship who lay sti^ess upon water baptism by the one mode only, 
 will be held to account before the infallible Bar of God, along 
 with former and latter day sticklers for ceremony, as deceptive 
 teachers of the way of life. 
 
 False ofiicialism and false government go together, and instead 
 of One Church of Christ, the world is cursed with Popery 
 numerous popelings. Thake, e. g., the Presbyterian, trying to n 
 a confederation of independencies under one Lead, and if it were 
 such, would be, we think, better adapted, in these days, to the 
 peaceful subjugation of the world to Christ, than any other or- 
 ganization. This form of government says, tell it to the 
 church means tell it to the presbyters; and to the 
 presbyters in their judicial capacity. This judicial bray ' of 
 the Westminster calvanists is enough to make the pope laugh 
 in his split-top hat. Children of the church and accessions from 
 without should be expressly taught that there is but one Lmo- 
 giver and Judge to whom accountability is exclusively due For 
 instance, a member forgets that no drunhard shall inherit eternal 
 life : his lite becomes a scandal to Christianity. The ever-com- 
 passionate Savior orders his presbyters, as his min{ste7's, to anath- 
 ematize, i. e. to separate the off"ender to communion with Satan. 
 
26 
 
 The gracious purpose is reformation of the individual. And the 
 presbyters are to administer this Idnd of discipline as if they, 
 but for grace, might be as dead in other sins as the poor sensu- 
 alist, who may have imagined that if such judges could be saved, 
 he could be also. Papists take in and cast out, as lawgivers and 
 .judges, as infallible lords of the heritage. If the Babylon ot 
 abominations can educate and proselyte some two hundred mil- 
 lions of the Adamic race and hold them in her monstrous doc- 
 trines, the fact should be a warning to all churchisms that they 
 also may be educating and proselyting peoples into swallowing 
 church stuff not altogether as beastly as that of the mother of 
 harlots. 
 
 The tendency of churchism towards the use of authority 
 more than ministerial is most surprising. The itching to peddle 
 out laws, church laws, and to judge people by such laws; is irre- 
 pressible. Here e. g., is the P. E. churcn which sets herself up 
 as plaintiff' against drinkers, dancers, theatre goers, etc. This 
 little papacy is as synagogueicaliy drifted toward church ruler- 
 istn us were the ruler Jews in the matter of super-ministerial 
 government. With so fair a start why should not the supra- 
 righteous plaintiff make church offences out of snuffing, chew- 
 ing, smoking, wearing rings on ears and fingers, bustle adorna- 
 tion, and everything that looks "worldly" to good bishops? In 
 view of the universal proof that Christ's church, as an Organi- 
 zation^ has no existence on earth, it need not be surprising that 
 many young persons are turning their souls over to the big law- 
 making Savior, being awed or seduced into inane worship of the 
 Anti-christ that forgives the sins of small sinners for a fee. and 
 whereever he could or can, legislate for and judges contemptible 
 Mngs and nations. 
 
 The alarming fact that Satan mi^a^es the- Holy Spirit, in that 
 he is able to efi'ect a pocudoism in faith, in justification, in san- 
 ctification, in government, calls for a translation of the Bible 
 which will eliminate every aid to spurious priestism aud false doc- 
 trine. The title, Holy Ghost, is misleading, and the popular mind 
 is not sure but that a Quaternity of Father Son Holy Spirit and 
 Holy Ghost is talked about in pulpits and writings. More essen- 
 tial is the correct rendering of another word. The most impor- 
 tant term in the Bible to those who would know the whole truth, 
 used probably more than a thousand times in various connections 
 and shades of meaning, is the very one that scholars try to hide 
 from, and to disguise from the mental and moral grasp of the 
 common people. Abraham is the Sovereign's devoted Slave and is 
 therefore called the friend of God. The loved Joseph sold by the 
 malice of his brethren into Egypt; there imprisoned by his Master 
 for the sins of onother; holding even in the dungeon sublime com- 
 munion with the God of heaven and earth; brought out by Prov- 
 idence to be the temporal savior of Egypt and of the same breth- 
 ren who many years befoie had sold him — that Joseph is the most 
 
27 
 
 beautiful type on record of the spotless Messiah and Savior of the 
 world. Moses is the meek slave of Jehovah. All the prophets 
 are His slaves. Tlie Apostles emphatically declare themselves 
 the slaves of Christ and of God. In the matter of atonement the 
 Son of man took upon himself the form of a slave. But King 
 Jame's scholars and the Jerusalem chamber too, took on them- 
 selves the linen of robe-servant. 
 
 Now whot do these southern Presbyterians mean by knocking 
 at the door of a church which not only synodically and generally in- 
 dorsed abolition assaults on the Bible(and has not repented)but to- 
 day shews itself an association of one-race fanatics? Christianity 
 being real, the one vxiy for attainment of purity and immortality, 
 the concern of the southern brethren is not to get back into any 
 such church but to chase calvanism from among themselves, and 
 place^sovereignty precisely where Paule places it. Shall the thing 
 created say, why hast thou made me thus? shall the thing comman- 
 ded say, / cannot hear the command of a Slaveholding God? / was 
 made free, and the atonement has made me a little more free 
 
 The neutralizing of Paul's predestinative statement of the plan 
 of Redemption is doubtless connected with the false idea that 
 ■ Christ's church is made up of freewillers and regenerates. There 
 are no regenerates in this world. Perfection of creatureship is 
 regeneration, and there are no perfect men or women in this life. 
 Neither is there any free will, free choice, or any such thing. 
 Compulsion of choice is the key to the philosophy )f theology. 
 Christ says, ali that the Father(the Father as sovereign )"giveth to 
 me shall come to me". All thus given and received are the called 
 according to the purpose. Andwho are they? Simply they who 
 have availed of providential education to understand that the com- 
 mands are from the Sovereign^ and who have gained tenacity of 
 purpose to follow their elder Brother as teacher on earth and 
 Master in Heaven, to the attamment of full allegiance. The 
 church of Christ is made up of the elect. Man made churches 
 may talk of their regenerated free-willers. And the creature has 
 to 7nake his 0VJ71 election. Work out your own election, says the 
 Apostle. Your exertions alone would be fiitile, but you are aided; 
 for,"it is God(the Holy Priest) who(by the Spirit)"'workethin you 
 to do^\ to justif/j the faith that justifies you by the motive of pure 
 love. As tbe Comforter, the Holy Spirit is the representative of 
 the Priest, or rather the very Priest reproduced in the mind. Soul, 
 and Spirit, animating the elect with the like pure love that anima- 
 ted the Savior while on earth, and will so continue until his Vice- 
 gerency is merged, and the elect are perfected in sanctification, 
 filled with the pure deathless nature of Jehovah! To attain elec- 
 tion is the utmost that jjre-resurrected man can do. The spirit- 
 ual minded John the beloved disciple whose every thought was 
 fixed on God and heaven, could do no more. And even to him 
 who had so far progressed that he could not sin(i.' e. unto death) 
 his attained election was evidence that his primal call was accor- 
 
28 
 
 ding to the foreknowledge, the recognition, of the Good Slavehold- 
 er. Neither in law or in fact does God know or foreknow any of 
 His responsibles except withhi the slave relation. Free manlings 
 and womenlings are without. Of course filial love is more per- 
 fect and perfecting than servile fear, but in every instance obedi- 
 ence to the Father is essential. And the Father's call is authori- 
 tative., as of an earthly father to his son, to come or to go. Doubt- 
 less some(we hope many)out of all false churches will be saved. 
 The hope is founded on the declaration that all things are poss- 
 ible with God, and all sins forgiveable except that of blasphemy 
 against the Hol}'^ Spirit, in other words blasphemy agamst the 
 Savior Priest. Jehovah, ahstract of His well ^beloved Mediator, 
 would no more notice a blasphemer's assaults than He would the 
 snarlings and snappings of a mangy poodle. 
 
 When the heretical and sectarian froth is blown away, the 
 practically elect from among the imperfectly and subvertingly 
 educating churches will secede and unite, to organize themselves 
 into one church in order that the gospel may be preached. The 
 home field is not away off yonder and the missionary is right here, 
 upon the ground now occupied by so called christian churches and 
 civilized governmfents. If the $ church $ preachers will look side-" 
 wise from their aesthetic worshippers, and downwards, they will 
 see multitudes of church-made and government-made heathen at 
 their doors. They need not go noseing among the naked niggers 
 of Africa for "brethren" or for "heathen." They need not raise 
 their sanctimonious probosii in concert and trumpet their godly 
 hj^pocricy — at the South. Oh no ! Our aesthetic dollarities can 
 afford to turn over the business of universal fathership and bioth- 
 ership to the worshippers of Bismark, and such like, who grind 
 the souls out of their poor white slaves at home, while sending 
 fleets to steam around Africa to catch Arabs, who trade with the 
 wooly headed Monarchs (brother kings! don't you see) for their 
 slaves, and when these mighty fleets capture a dhow, the brother 
 Kings blow and brag, like us., of their Christianity. 
 
 A title is needed, one that will inspire the workers for present 
 and millenial education, and that of Catholic Ziox may be appro- 
 priate. Out of Zion shall go forth the law, saith the prophet ; and 
 religion, as the reality, must become Catholic, i. e., universal. 
 The world has had enough of pseudo-catholic, or universal scoun- 
 drelism. When the popeished laity shall secede, as thev sur^'i^- 
 will, from the great satatnic slave dealery, the existenc, v.. ^.^^0 
 great catholic confederation of churches, really christian, held to- 
 gether in the bonds of und3ang love to God and man, will prevent 
 the fall of the pope-educated laity into the gulf of infidelity or 
 anarchy. And in proportion to the flow of the common people 
 into the Catholic Zion their rulers who by co-allegiance and co- 
 actuation with the sub-sovereign have made the world a vast 
 Golgotha will become less and less powerful for evil. And when 
 all peoples tongues and nations shall govern themselves through 
 
29 
 
 allegiance to the King of Zion these rulers these "-war lords" will 
 disajjpear, and with them their co-opposites, the infidels and 
 anarchists. 
 
 Besides the popeish and protestant bigotries the world is now 
 threatened with a sort of Darwinian religion, designed apparently 
 to dodge the fact of separate creations and to deny the actual 
 effects of the fall, if not the fall itself. Against this monkey hunt- 
 ing brood I affirm the fact of total depravity and offer the true ex- 
 planation of its perpetuity. Adam's act of sin was followed by 
 the instant entrance of the live abolisher into his soul. This du- 
 plex complication of abolition i. e. Adams sin and satan's posses- 
 sion, is total depravity. That is, the pure nature of our first 
 father made in the divine image, was poisoned by his sin and 
 totally abolitionized by actual possession of the snakish liar. The 
 place of holiness became the coiling place of the serpentarian con- 
 querer and the man's children inherit his fallen nature. This cal- 
 vanistic swapping of imputations around and about, and making 
 Adam the federal head of his children, and Christ the federal head 
 of At5, is pure nonsense. God foresaw the possibility of so educat- 
 ing the Adamites that in the course of time the second Adam 
 could be born in to the world. He therefore did not kill the trans- 
 gressor on the spot and leave silly Eve to play with her pet snake 
 until the abolishing dea'h that she was instrumental in bringing 
 into the world took her out of the world. Had God acted on this 
 latter alternative the specimens of humanity that now ornament 
 the earth, I mean the whites who have overspread it, would be 
 conspicuous b}' their absence. Whether tlie red bucks and the 
 hottentots et al had then been created for amusement of the sar- 
 castic angel and his crowd is not deteiminable nn ess the evo- 
 luters can give us common-sense and data to figure on. 
 
 But total depravity is in our blood, not in that of the inferior 
 creations ; and this inheritance is hateful to the natural man, fre- 
 (juently denied and alwaj^s obscured. Witness these evolution- 
 iss who are evidently hunting for regeneration in matter. If life 
 is an infinitely drawn out energy of protoplastic dust the indepen- 
 d nt existence of Jehovah is discredited, and the fall of Adam is 
 a myth, a vishnu-like fable of a temporary obstruction to the up- 
 w ard crawl of the life-snake. It would seem that the whites are 
 ahead on the dust matter, so much so that it is high time for wings 
 to sprout out, in proof of the doctrine. When this happens — 
 when will it happen ? the next joint — who be the next ? will 
 press into the place left by the whiteys, and so on until the trooly 
 darkeys make room for the monkej^s' And when the protoed 
 monkeys begin to talk the more highly protoed darkeys will be 
 apt to caj)ture the c?is-chatters and put them to work ; just as they 
 had been captured by evoluted puritans and British, because a 
 wriggle of the life-snake in the far distant past had put them- 
 selves, the darkeys, up to a talking liability to that voyage hither, 
 for which — the South is to this daj^ shivering under the severe, the 
 
30 
 
 indignant, the extremely tr-o-oly frown of — Christendom. The 
 return, let ns trust, will be in better ships, with Cable, eq-u-a-wlity 
 Cable, to see after the accomodations. 
 
 Science christianized will be based on the axioms that there 
 are distinct homoic creations, and that the grades represent the 
 direct purpose of the Creator, not the energy of a necessity-driven 
 dead-dust evolver. Kight here comes up a conundrum for the 
 evolution cranks who affect the Bible. The processes of creation 
 were from the lowest forms upwards. But how about the finish- 
 ing process ? The apostle does not say that Adam was made a 
 little higher than the highest anthropoid, but that he was made a 
 little lower than th« angels. Now if the finishing process was 
 from above downwards, the new theology is finis-ed. The Almighty 
 having worked in both directions, the physical results are un- 
 changeable. Man will continue to be as he is until the environ- 
 ments are changed by fire. The mental and moral phenomena, 
 bounded as the}'" are by the physical make-up, will be invariable 
 in hind., different in degree. You may educate a baboon, i. e. de- 
 velop the reasoning power in him to the utmost; still, he remains 
 a baboon, somewhat smarter, more civilized, so to speak, than his 
 fellows in the bush. And the son that he begets will not shame 
 his father by being too utterly smart. There is an improvement in 
 the brain as in the case of collie dogs &c.. but that is all. Jocko 
 can never rise to the height of an evolutionist., nor can he hope to 
 live again when death shall claim him. If theNoahic flood cover- 
 ed the entire Kosraos the negro and his neighbor, the baboon, 
 were drowned. And when the flood subsided in Africa, the 
 environments of life being the same as before, the negro and 
 baboon were created as before the flood ; and are likely to remain 
 the very same vital materialisms, despite the unscientific 
 philosophy or religion of false scientists. The highly intel- 
 lectual efforts to make the works of the Creator appear what they 
 are not, resemble the funny antics of a civilized jocko who found 
 a lump of sugar in a glass jar. His reasoning on the problem of 
 how to get it out is emulated by that of the evolutionists. 
 Preachers and disciples of that doctrine had better turn off the 
 gas. If they blow it out they may die before evolution strikes 
 the earth. The possible hybridization of distinct crecdions help 
 them not. That branch of physics pertains to the science of 
 physiology, not anthopology , The physiological isomerism of 
 blood between the sui^erior and inferior creations, through which 
 the genesis of hybrids is possible, does not help the evolutionist. 
 It helps only the blind and deaf one race adders who would de- 
 stroy their white political neighbors by any and every means 
 rather than repent of bigotry or of diabolism. 
 
 This brings us to the practical definition of the Adamite. Man 
 is by birth a natural abolitionist, aud by tuition of father satan 
 easilj grauates into a demoniac abolitionist. Daughters of Adam 
 are not born abolitionists, but multitudes relegate themselves to 
 
31 
 
 the creaturely unseen "father" by devotion to fashion and 
 frivolity, by practical exchange of their souls for the things of this 
 eternity, or by direct complicity with the wicked one. Anthoro- 
 poids are not thus definable. They have none of Adam's blood, 
 they are not totally depraved, and yet they are, notwithstand- 
 ing these differences, subject to be led captive by the devil. The 
 destruction of the herd of swine, creatures far lower than anthro- 
 poids is a case in point. When crowded together and heated by 
 fanaticism men or anthropoids are particularly subject to de- 
 moniac possession. Fanaticism and enthusiasm are opposites. En- 
 thusiasm is consistent with a sound mind and an honest hearty 
 and is an inspiration from God, Fanaticism is of the devil. 
 Natural abolitionists are classed in Scripture merely as fools : de- 
 moniacs, as liars, hypocrites, murderers, blasphemers, in one word 
 allegiantsof Abaddon. The opposites are classed as the faithful ; 
 Ihe pure in heart i. e. in motive ; the meek, hungering after 
 righteousness; forgiving injuries for Jesus' sake; in a word, al- 
 legiants to God, Allegiance, then, is the pons asinorum, having 
 crossed which each responsible (man or anthropoid) must take the 
 right or the left ^vay. 
 
 SrNTHESIS. 
 
 Putting the elements together is the opposite of Analysis, Let 
 us now proceed to state the case of Christendom as it is, as strict- 
 ly in the calm spirit of philosoj)hy as possible. The stereopticon 
 will display the pictures as they are, the dread lineaments of nat- 
 ural and demoniac abolition all over the world. The section of 
 Satanized Christendom styled the United States demands first at- 
 tention. 
 
 Unless people know who and where their enemy is they are 
 fighting in the air. We are not to hiy every particular evil upon 
 the primal author of evil. Man meets evil half w^ay or crosses 
 the line ; and in either case makes it his own fault by cherishing 
 it in his heart. Be assured of this : Satan will not be put on trial 
 in the day of judgment for any or all of his almost infinite series 
 of triumphs over the Adamic race. He will be tried for his own 
 offense in Heaven and his human subverts will be tried for what 
 is in fact their own wickedness, made so by appropriation of Ap- 
 polyons nature. Had all the heathens lived in practical allegiance 
 to the Creator^ all the covenanted people, to the Sovereign^ the 
 nature of the evil one could never have been reproduced in the 
 souls of men, as their own nature. 
 
 Now who is the chief enemy of the people of the U. S,, nol 
 their angelic, but his perverts and subverts, the human enemy ? 
 I have no hesitation in affirming that it is their own government. 
 I do not say it is the Constitution, because it is as completely 
 abolished by the so called saving and amending exploits as it 
 would be if, after being practically monarchised and mongrelized 
 
32 
 
 as it is, other so called amendments were struck into it or blown 
 into it by the bayonets or bombs of Anarchists. The constitu- 
 tion is wounded to death and the murderer is the government, 
 practically converted into a Pontiff and hypocritically using the 
 destroyed Constitution pretty much as the Pontiff at Rome uses 
 the mangled Bible. J mean that these Covenants, one human 
 the other Divine, are practically dead as to these two iisurjms of 
 authority not given by the respective covenants. To the allegation 
 that the right of amendment is contained in the U. S. Covenant, 
 the bare statement suffices that neither bayonet union nor bayonet 
 amendments were ever t^ought of, much less provided for in the 
 human covenant. It is impossible, therefore, to evade the porten- 
 tous conclusion that this Pontificated Government is a Fraud, in 
 law and in fact, upon the people of the United States of America. 
 
 Now who are the (political) people of the U. S.? Supposing 
 that there are exactly twelve million of white men entitled to 
 vote by the present statutes, and that they voted on the sixth of 
 November last, those twelve million constituted the people of the 
 U. S. on that day. (I do not include negroes as of the people. 
 As shown, they are not of Adam's blood and are not responsible 
 for the deeds of natural or demoniac white-skinned abolitionists.) 
 
 Of these millions, it is possible that nine-tenths were not and 
 are not aware that t\\Qy have been and are now supporting a Po- 
 litical Pontiff, and that they are subjecting their wnves and chil- 
 dren and every one within the jurisdiction of the fraud enthroned 
 Ponfilf to the evils of political popery. Say, for purposes of the 
 statement, that those twelve millions divided, one-half voting for 
 Mr. Harrison, the other for Mr: Cleveland ; one moiety styling 
 themselves the democratic, the other the republican party. It is 
 opportune to say that names are not equivalent to virtues. Some 
 who would abolish all law, human and Divine, in order to be 
 perfectly free, claim to be democrats. The most atrocious demo- 
 niacs thrown up by the French revolution claimed to be par ex- 
 cellence republicans. The terms tootleism and gor.elsm scientif- 
 ically describe the two parties between whom the Pontiff is held 
 up. 
 
 Here the question arises : How many of those twelve millions 
 knew anything, beyond a few catch words, of the eternal prin- 
 ciples that cannot be destroyed by verenality, intimidations, sophi- 
 sems, slanders, lies, or murder ? How^ many knew that the abuses 
 of principles must, if continued, eventually react upon and des- 
 troy society? It is safe to say that the republican party is m ide 
 up of less than ten thousand persons, brainy fools, editors and 
 preachers of abolition poison, statesmen of the kinky persuasion 
 with two eyes and a pocket set solidly on spurious fame and of- 
 fice, all of them united in the bonds of mammon and loyalty to — 
 the Pontiff. Their peculiarity consists in believing, representa- 
 tively of their greeny constituents, that the negro can be fashion- 
 ed into a whitey by party sorcerism. And, of those ten thou- 
 
33 
 
 sand it is fair to say that one Mr. J. G. Blaine, is what the party 
 populace say he is. the iincroicned king of the whole. What ra- 
 tional interest did the six millions (minus the supposed ten thou- 
 sand) have in supporting such a party? None ! Their irration- 
 ality is of the natural kind and served merely to reflect the 
 sophisms and lies poured out in such abundance as to blacken the 
 heavens. 
 
 The democratic 'party is differently constituted. It is not ruled 
 by a few thousand persons. From Grover Cleveland, the honest- 
 hearted President, clear through the host (of course there are 
 some scabs), that party is made up of plain, honest, cool think- 
 ing, unbribeable, working, debt-paying men. They are not de- 
 ceived by rocket shooting into a belief that the greenback factory 
 and the '• b^nks " add one iota to wealth. The spirit of our se- 
 cession ancestors, has not entirely leaked out and encrusted tlieir 
 souls with spurious Britishism ; they look with grave suspicion 
 upon any union of which force is the factor, and they look with a 
 species of mixed loyalty and abhorence upon the new oath-gagg- 
 ing and allegiance methods, a sort of resurrected monarchy, reck- 
 lessly asserted as the savior of popular government. 
 
 These are the conditions of partijism. Ten thousand high-law 
 personages bossing near six millions of gopeished voters, and a 
 sense of not-yet-lost political liberty controling about an equal 
 number of voters, half ashamed of the loud vauntings of superi- 
 ority over other nations, and yet anxious that our country should 
 forever remain one and indivisable. Politically they crossed the 
 pons asinorum and went far enough on the tootle path to bring 
 back the '' erring sisters." That object, the recorded purpose of 
 the Tootle congress and government, being accomplished, they 
 justly regard the gopish party as a dirty clique of traitors to their 
 own congress, and disunionists of the vilest kind, in presence of 
 the genius of self-government. 
 
 The state of things growing out of the conflict between the 
 parties north on the one side, and the southern people on the other, 
 has given rise to a third condition to which the serious attention 
 of every one not a demoniacked fool is invited. We use the 
 name South, personifying the principles of ever faithful Demo- 
 cratic- Republiean- Federalism. After she was subjugated, the 
 South gave her cheek to the smiter. The magnanimous demo- 
 cratic party, having administered the union slap, supposed that 
 that would be the end of strife. Little did they know the de- 
 moniac spirit of the abolishing demons. The magnates and com- 
 mon fanatics raved until the whole infidel Bible-spitting crew 
 were stirred up to demand such " amendments" as would be pleas- 
 ing to the Gopish Pontiff. They rushed over the '* traitors," (this 
 was the endearing name given the Northern democracy by the 
 triumphant rag-fioppery), frantically demanding the sweet privi- 
 lege of slapping the South continually on both cheeks. Upon 
 this the Democratic party laid aside its tootleism, and fought the 
 
34 
 
 enemy of American liberty, and of society itself, at every turn. 
 The fight is still going on and will go on until political popery 
 shall be utterly overthrown, and its vile carcass cast into the sea 
 of oblivion. Then our county will be, ipso facto, one and indivis- 
 ible. 
 
 This conflict has assumed what I term the fourth condition, 
 and nothing is now needed but for the democratic party, north, 
 south, east and west, to resolve themselves into Democracy by 
 the old fraternal pledge (no oath-gaggery in theirs !} of lives, for- 
 tunes, and sacred honor. We will then bury this monster, trying 
 to spraddle its British-assumed shoes over the entire American 
 people, in the abyss into which the old Dragon is soon to be cast. 
 
 Every means consistent with truth should be employed by the 
 Democracy to educate the commonalty as distinct from the party 
 magnates, to the fact that republicanism is itself subverted. It 
 is the right of each State, as a Republic, a right both inherent 
 and reserved in the compact of honor, to regulate her own affairs 
 by a majority of whoever may be voters legalized as such by each 
 Bepublic. If the once Republic of Mass, e. g. wants to import 
 and make voters of naked Bushmen, to the extent of black-belt- 
 ing its 'publican carcass, it is its right to do so. That escaped 
 British colony might thus show the world how piously the white 
 minority would see that the pets had a "free ballot and a fair 
 count." Nigger-throwing into the sea woukUnt take the place of 
 tea-throwing: Oh no? Certainly not. But that political hy- 
 pocricy furnishes the Nose to the Pontifficate at Washington 
 which blows its pub-" lawfulness " upon the land in the black 
 " sovereignty " dictated to the several southern republics. And 
 still the ex-tea mob, prate of the South as sectional, because she 
 is solid ! 
 
 The nearly twelve million of this unpeopled people should 
 also be urged to consider well the abolishers of Divine and 
 human covenants prate of "law," how the rebels against both 
 Democratic and Republican principles prate of "rebels." The 
 U. S. Pontificate is held by ''judges" to be "lawful." Tax-rob- 
 bery of the working masses is "lawful." The so called debt, 
 sacred to Plutocracy is "lawful." All kinds of gambling in 
 lands are "lawful." Monopolistic trusts are "lawful." 
 
 What States! What Republics! What a self-governing 
 Fraud! They have got what they called for, and to-day the 
 U. S., in the matter of self-government, is on the off-side of 
 equality with Kaiserism, Czarism, or any of the forms of Kingly 
 self-government in "effete" Europe. 
 
 In consideration of the fact that there is a Popery under which 
 there are some thirty eight subjugated and quasi-subjugated law 
 makeries, individually and collectively useless, I beg leave to 
 nominate a Constitution op Law already made, which is exactly 
 suited to the actual state of adamites, and is adapatable to all 
 the interests, temporal and more than temporal, of every respon- 
 
35 
 
 sible from the equator up to the furtherest breathing and digging 
 spots around the poles. I trust that the millions, not down and 
 drunk on partyism, will give this Constitution the most respect- 
 ful attention and study. The prime object in adopting it is to do 
 away with congresses and legislatures, and to keep order in the 
 Democracies, and in the Democracies as One Republic, through 
 Executives and Judiciaries, responsible to their respective consti- 
 tuents, not responsible to parties fighting each other for spoils. 
 The talk about parties in a free country being necessary to watch 
 each other is party bosh, or popular ignorance. The people will 
 of course choose the best men for their officials, and will watch 
 them, knowing that human nature is liable to temptation. The 
 officers will be upheld by the people in the lawful performance 
 of their several duties. The body of the Constitution of Law 
 may be outlined as follows : 
 
 I . VI 
 
 II VII 
 
 III VIII 
 
 IV IX 
 
 V X 
 
 Certain axioms or postulates of government should be annexed 
 to the Constitution; as e. g. man (in the U. S.) is not made for a 
 thirty-eight or many tailed one-headed Taxation paternalism ; 
 nothing is money except coin or paper that represents coin, face 
 for face ; the spirit of the Mosaic land-economy is anti-monopo- 
 listic ; race-purity of blood is as assential to-day as when the 
 redemptive sovereign took the Jews under His immediate educa- 
 tional care. There may be other axioms evidential of a people 
 educated 'beyond the need of human law-makeries. The logic of 
 this movement towards a more perfect union, &c., is ; the Amer- 
 ican people will now bury the Pontiif, alwe^ so to speak. That 
 is, setting aside the monster, still alive and drunk on blood, they 
 will proceed to wind up its affairs through the governmental ma- 
 chinery now existing. 
 
 Suppose that the Territories desiring to put on the toga of 
 Democracy shall begin the good work of reform by adopting the 
 Constitution of Law. The land of a Territory, not the people, 
 belongs to the U. S. in trust for the whole. The rule of admis- 
 sion, then, ought to be that as soon as the Constitution is adopted 
 the Territory is a young State, and when grown, i. e., has a cer- 
 tain population, is entitled to admission. We are aware that the 
 Territories which shoidd be infant comities of a christianized 
 Republic are gope-ridden runts at present ; and are therefore 
 wanted at Washington as rotten boroughs of the fraudulent Re- 
 publican party. The Democracy in those parts of the political 
 apostacy should know that they are the anti-abolition remnant, 
 answering to the "remnant according to the election of the grace" 
 who bowed not the knee to the image of Baal, or to the soul- 
 abolishing Abaddon in any shape whatever. The comparison 
 
36 
 
 between the so called States of the North, flourishing like so 
 many Babylons in the Union, and Utah, if it were a united state 
 like hi-o, and in, like the balance, would give the crown to 
 Utah. The Mormon Constitution is openly Anti-Christ while 
 the hypocrite States are secretly so. In fact the Christ whose 
 na7yie is familiar in thousands of pulpits and altars has less prac- 
 tical influence over abolition morality than the Smith, or who 
 ever he was, that dug up the Mormon bible. The Christ of abo- 
 litionists is merely nominal. 
 
 Pass on now, if you please, to Europe. What is found there? 
 Comparatively the same condition as here, the numerous millions 
 multiplied into tax-paj'ers and man-killers by eight or ten gov- 
 ernments united in the bonds of Abaddon^sm, alias throat cutters 
 subject to a genteel modification styled international law, bal- 
 ance of power, and so on. Each and every one of them are deal- 
 eries in much oathgaggery and allegiance, in able-bodied animals 
 sworn unto uniform and cartridjje belts ; and their '4aws" fairly 
 bristle with treason, rebellion, libel against betters, etc., the chief 
 virtue in the masses being loyalty to the rulers. Tax paying is 
 not a virtue, but the simple dutt/ of the lowly ones, the sweating 
 whites, with no wool on their skulls to mitigate the heat and bur- 
 den of supporting — everybody except themselves. Vicegerency 
 is indeed openly claitned as right divine^ and is conceded by the 
 popish and protestant Fakirs of false religion. 
 
 Who, who will take the blood-prize — the Pontificated divine 
 righters of Europe or the Pontificated Be-loyaled of the U. S. ? 
 We trust that the whites of Europe will perceive that the au- 
 gust traders in their bodies and souls are making a scapegoat of 
 Africa just as their kind over here have been and are making the 
 South the scapegoat of their iniquitous enslavement of men and 
 women of their own blood, in t/ieir streets and at their doors. 
 Would to God that the commonalty of all nations in Europe 
 would adopt the Constitution of Laxo and fraternize with each 
 other. They need not dethrone those rulers if they will join in 
 with the subjects in allegiance to the Constitution of Law, disarm 
 as against each other, and henceforward rule more like Christ 
 tians than pagans. 
 
 It may be taken for granted by the multitudinous victims that 
 the Beneficiaries of false government and their creatures will 
 hold on to their respective high places and will use any and ev- 
 ery means to defeat the inauguration of just government. Un- 
 der present conditions, indeed, the subjects are co-actuators with 
 thes6 consecrated successors of Nero, and the commonalty who 
 take part in the wrong against the Mediator as well as against 
 themselves, may never expect better government until they 
 make the move for emancipation in concert with each oth- 
 er. I do not advise bloodshed. There will be no need, unth- 
 the "war lords" shall force the alternative upon their subjects of 
 killing each other or of killing their several tyrants. A nd after 
 
37 
 
 these systems of iniquity are overthrown let the millions take to 
 heart the solemn golgothic warning from all history that they can 
 never educate themselves to the height of self governmentt until 
 the Gospel is taken as the embodiojent of Law and Grace given 
 by the only wise and good Sovereign for the government of the 
 fallen who by nature are the easy prey of the lawless one. 
 
 Now what are these states to do towards actual attainment of 
 self government? In particular wdiat are the negro strangulated 
 states to do ? Disfranchisement of the negro is the imperative 
 duty of each enslaved state. In this matter the North, where 
 the n"gro is a mere drop in the bucket, is no criterion to the 
 South. To smooth mamraonites there, the negro is not much of a 
 problem- They have got rid of him by shift upon Southerners 
 when they were brethren. Now the squawkers of "law" are pat- 
 ronizingly solicitous for the poor r-rebels to follow their high and 
 terribly moral example in all things. 
 
 Voting is not a natural right. It is time to do away with the 
 absurd dictum of common law that voting is indissolubly linked 
 with the sacred advent of twenty -one. When Law reigns, when 
 partyism is dead, and when the voter shall setm^h for the most 
 suitable men for office, courts of decision might be formed, before 
 which any lod under twenty-one, poor or rich, who could show 
 that he understood his duty to the State, should be pronounced a 
 qualified voter. And especially should society find means of 
 protection against criminals, drunkards notoriously efiete; for- 
 eigners who think that freedom is licentiousness, bribers and ta- 
 kers of bribes, etc. Neither, when we attain self government, 
 should the ballot be secret : each vote should be published, at 
 the moment of casting, in the hearing of those present. Of 
 course the negroes should be made to comprehend, if possible, 
 that their disfranchisement is for the preservation of society, not 
 a blow at their rights as citizens. They will be in no more dan- 
 ger of injury to life, personal freedom and property than the 
 white classes who are not allowed to vote. They should also 
 prepare themselves for the exodus. Should every Southerner 
 leave this country to the negroes only, in less than thirty years 
 every one of the inferior race would be killed out, or run out, 
 by their loving race-gushlings from the North, as were the In- 
 dians by the grim and pious immigrants, fleeing from persecu- 
 tion in the old world. This may be deemed bold assertion, but 
 it carries a strikingly honest face. Yankees are land hunters ; 
 not, when it comes to moving time, nosers out and amalgamotors 
 with amj inferior race, much less with the negro. 
 
 How is disfranchisement to be effected ? Other ^'amendments" 
 to that end are suggested. Oh yes ! Amend the "amended" 
 moribund. It is time for the people to do like poor old honest 
 Abe Lincoln, put down the popular foot and put it down hard 
 upon this amendment tomfoolerp. Suppose the masses take the 
 wrong turn and fall into anarchism, -'amending" the moribund 
 
38 
 
 would be the shortest cut to robbin2; first the rich, and then ev- 
 ery honest worker, under the forms of law. Do the 'publican as- 
 ses at the North braying for a "free ballot and a fair count" know 
 that every coon is a natural communist? If the robbery of the 
 South under the forms of law is to be taken as good lex non scrip- 
 ta they who read the XIII, XIV, and XV scriptures every morn- 
 ing before breakfast may find themselves on their knees praying 
 Southernersto count the niggers out before XVI and several 
 other X's shatt be exploited by anarchism. Z)ear pious brethren, 
 Southerners never knew of counting out until you stuck that 
 gopeish none into their affairs. Perhaps they will forget how, 
 wtten that nasal appendage of meddling holiness is chopped off. 
 There is a direct and right way to begin reformation, and that 
 is for each state to act at once through her legislature. People 
 are afraid of the Supreme Judges of the U. S. who have for 
 years been solemnly sitting upon the moribund body of American 
 liberty. In fact the whole land is cursed by an atmosphere of 
 Court house Pettifoggery breathed by all the « people, instead of 
 the health giving o^one of pure law. Without disrespect, then, - 
 or shade of conten't for the Supreme Court who heretofore and 
 now in common with all the people breathe the bad air of aboli 
 tion, the states who know the need should go forward and place 
 disfranchisement of the negro on the true ground, viz : that he 
 is no^ of our race, but is a distinct and in fact the most inferior 
 of the anthropoidal creations. Against the males-over-twenty- 
 one years the court, independent as it really is of partyism, could 
 decide that this was started a white man's government ; that but 
 for an interregnum it has alwa3^s been a white man's govern- 
 ment ; and that henceforward it shall always be the same; and 
 therefore the lawful intendment of the phrase "males over twen- 
 ty-'^ne years" is held to be a white intendment. Suppose that 
 they decide against us : what of that ? The strutting "freemen" 
 must be somehow educated to know the truth : for, through the 
 truth, and through the truth only, we have the highest authority 
 for saying that man can be really free. The enactment, by any 
 state, north or south of a clean disfranchisement of the distinct 
 creation will not harm them, and will emancipate liberty herself, 
 no longer crouching under the vultus instantis tyranni. but plead- 
 ing for the really philanthropic adjudication of race-truth for the 
 several peoples, and for the people as one, as well as for the low- 
 er races themselves. 
 
 Before closing this little book, it is essential to enunciate both 
 against false religionists and false governments, the substantial, 
 i. e. the eternal, difference between right slavery and wrong slav- 
 ery. This nation is infested by religious gushlings who set up 
 the Fathersh?']} of God against the Mastership of God. An earth- 
 ly father who is not master of his household is a personal nonen- 
 tity How infinitely contemptible would Jehovah be if He suf- 
 fered Ilis sovereignty, voiced in the awful thunders of Sinai and 
 
39 
 
 engraved in adamant, thou slialt or thou shall not^ to be whittled 
 down, neutralized, non-entitied in an atonement such as these 
 naturals imagine to have been made ! 
 
 It miglit be inferred from the perversions and subversions of 
 the Gospel that liberty, or freedom, would be perverted or sub- 
 verted. That is exactly the fact. The apostle says to the rightly 
 allegianced, Ye are called to liberty, brethren. And the right- 
 ly allegianced, the electa are called to liberty — liberty from Satan- 
 ism in every form ; from popery, the refuge of worthless priests ; 
 fr <m protestantism, the educator of soul-leanness in niammonite 
 preachers, shallow ranters, narrow minded bigots ; from '^law" 
 factories, paradises of lawyers ; from every governmental Brand- 
 ery of false allegiance ; ay more, liberty from Jerusalem below, 
 (the church) ye can look with Paul to the free Mother above or 
 with James into the perfect law of liberty (the Gospel), the edu- 
 cator in good works more and more perfected, or sanctified, by a 
 compounding progressive faith. 
 
 True slavery and true freedom, then, are rela<^ed as cause and 
 effect ; so also, are false slavery and false freedom. This may be 
 illustrated by the slave relation between the distinct creations. 
 Good mastership generally drew out a corresponding obedience- 
 ship in the slaves. Of course they, cou'^idered as laborers, were 
 not equal to white laborers. Neither, being freed, are they equal, 
 for the palpable reason that the higher creation h.ive more ener- 
 gy, a raotivity above mere wages, more skill. Bad mastership 
 had its natiu-al results. A selfish master was almost sure to be 
 rewarded by a set of lazy, thievish, whip-driven, inimical slaves. 
 It is clear that in the case of a naturally good man bound to a par- 
 cel of naturally mean negroes, the administration of the slave re- 
 lation necessarily descended to the level of the latter, to save 
 the whole household from poverty. This is, in substance, the 
 same condition existing between the proud anti-slaveryite and 
 his alleged freemen. He is anti slavery, as against the Supreme 
 God, but a strong proslaveryite as against his inferiors. To the high 
 strung eheds of sin he promises perfect freedom and a happy life ; 
 but when they or any others fall, through that pernicious gift, 
 into his lowest sloughs of slavery, he is ashamed of his father- 
 ship, and proves himself the stinging serpent, the poisonous 
 dragon, the remorseless devil. 
 
 Here a sort of diagram of the opposite Eternalisms may be 
 made — 
 
 First, Secessionists from Satan, and 
 
 Second. Allegiants to God through His mediator or directly to 
 the mediator, God-natured, are elect, christians, sure to live as 
 long as God lives. 
 
 CONTRA. 
 
 First. Secessionists from God, and 
 
 Second. Allegiants to Satan are reprobates, aloUtionists, who 
 
40 
 
 cannot live longer than their spiritual father. 
 
 Non-resurrectables go out of existence with the last breath in 
 this world. The weaklings of wickedness will expire in hades. 
 But in Gehenna none but men of the Adamic race will be found. 
 These the second death will swallow up in the order of strength : 
 this, because the Evil Spirit has not life abiding in himself. Had 
 he immortality within himself I dare say God would not take it 
 away, and no doubt the proud " father " would reward His favor- 
 ite children with such life-prolongation as he might be able to 
 inspire. 
 
 Thus we obtain a prevision of the chain with which the enemy 
 who taints every mind with the horrible theology that God is 
 causatively responsible for the origin or perpetuation of evil binds 
 humanity. The chain is the return of all the errors with which 
 Satan has so long bound the creeds and practices of all nations. 
 The errors which will have been put back upon the great enemy 
 from whom they first came, as a chain is put around a criminal, 
 are made up of massive pieces and smaller links innumerable. 
 For an instance of a colossal error, the Calvanistic gloss on fore- 
 knowledge and predestination amounts to this, that God has pre- 
 caused and brings to pass in consequence of such causation the 
 fall of angels and of man for the very purpose ot showing forth 
 His sovereignty by educing good out of evil. This remnant of 
 Platonism will be repudiated and this colossal error will be cast 
 out of every mind by the Truth, viz., that Providence acts through 
 all ages and over all intelligencies of our sphere of existence, over- 
 ruling the EVIL that was brought in by Satan and by man^ for the 
 furtherance of His own covenant. He, indeed, foreordained what- 
 soever comes to pass, because slavery in some form or other must 
 come to pass throughout the utmost limits of Jlis stupendous uni- 
 verse. To arraign Him because He, foreknowing all things, did 
 not kill Satan or man on the instant of their bringing in a wrong 
 slavery is but a cavilling hiss of the old serpent. 
 
 It follows inevitably that the Sovereign, as the omniscient and 
 omnipotent Providence^ acts through and by and for His medi- 
 ator. This pixplains His forbearance with foolish sinners. Had 
 mediation been impossible He would have killed Satan, the first 
 offender, and if man had offended, would have killed man; just 
 as these cavillers think He ought to have done, mediator or no 
 mediator. But there is a mediator dwelling aionically in the 
 bosom of the Father, who therefore styles Himself the everlasting 
 or everliving Father ; and the Jehovic Father, placated by the 
 predicted and actual sacrifice of Messiah, is the Holy Spirit, the 
 Providence, who returns Satan-made and man?-made evils upon 
 the doers of evil, and who, foreseeing the end to be attained from 
 the beginning, works eternally for the final establishment of Mes- 
 siah's kingdom, not for the perpetuity of any human contrivances. 
 The lives of preceding generations were not spared merely to give 
 the political victory to our secession ancestors, much less later on 
 
41 
 
 to a governmental mob of political apostates. It might as well 
 be argued that God killed his own son and that the purpose of 
 the tragedy was to retire His son to heaven and crown a Pope on 
 earth whose business it would be to set up and put down govern- 
 ments at his^ the -Pope's, will. This is in fact the virtual claim of 
 popery. 
 
 But how does Providence govern ? 1 answer, by retribution. 
 What one sows that shall he reap. Repentance cannot avert pun- 
 ishment for sins. But it is infinitely better to be retributively 
 punished in this purgatory if the punishment comes Irom our cor- 
 rec</n«7 Father, assuming as such correction does, full and complete 
 repentance of sins not to be repented of. How much more is 
 veng-'ful retribution the portion of demoniacs, of bCf^ffers at re- 
 pentance, of pretenders to secession from the Evil One when he is 
 in fact their moral or rather immoral Father. These sort may 
 flourish while in the flesh in their sins and false loyalty, but their 
 sins and loyalty will be the portion of their cup — their retribution 
 in Gehenna. 
 
 The old South, having been stamped out of -existence by the 
 natural and demoniac abolitionists of the United States and of Chris- 
 tendom, a new something is coming up which shows signs of a 
 worse subjugation than that of yankee bayonets. This something 
 seems to sport the name of New South. Were the sovereignizers 
 of negroes to unsovereignize them thousands of this new some- 
 thing, especially the upper crusts, would support the Republican 
 party, A few have honesty enough to sj^eak out their real sen- 
 timents. " Babylon is not healed," and this " new south " is pro- 
 phetic of the new mammon. " Slavery was bad " is the low mur- 
 mer of the newly redeemed faithites in the new pontificated sys- 
 tem ot things. We were poor as slaveholvers and we did not know 
 it — glad it is abolished ; for now we are rich, and growing, oh ! so 
 much richer. The truth of this matter is that the same evil distri- 
 bution and piling up of wealth into the hands of the few is be- 
 ginning here as it began at the North years ago, and this evil is 
 boasted of as the New South. The same accused ideas of force 
 based on the devil-fad of allegiance to human contrivances is be- 
 ing sucked from " Christendom," and loyalty to this evil thing is 
 vaunted as a sign of good citizenship, of Democracy, and of Chris- 
 tianity. A late incident in Alabama, an index of the same Abad- 
 isli slavery that governs the so-called civilized and enlightened 
 world, may serve for illustration. 
 
 A deed of demoniac murder is done, not away ofi" somewhere, 
 but in the heart of her busiest city. The people are excited at 
 the extraordinary atrocity of the crime; the worship of mammon 
 is suspended. They get hold of .a clew : they search for evidence • 
 there are ten thousand judges : there are twenty thousand jurors. 
 The spirit of the criminal law laid down near four thousand years 
 ago takes full possession of every heart and soul, and for the time- 
 
42 
 
 Ibeing the busy mammonites are the 'people. The suspicion of a 
 great city is concentrated on one man, and the officials take him 
 into custody. More damning evidence is found ; guilt with its 
 motive is laid bare to the popular mind, and there arises a deter- 
 mination to immediately execute the unrepealed Jehovic law, 
 which still gives up the murderer to the vengeance of man ; or as 
 it would seem, to the Divine retribution through His unconscious 
 beast creation, (Gen. 1-5, 6.) 
 
 But stop! Here comes the let-the-law-take-its-course senti- 
 ment of the supposed to be better element; and the logic of the 
 Court House (good enough in its place) is invoked. The betters 
 are backed by the lawyers and pettifoggers of the new Diana 
 whose craft is endangered, and there is a prolonged shout inside 
 the temple of technial Haphazard, great is the majesty of the 
 law; down with the mcii .^ What does it all end in? In addi- 
 tion to the lawful protection of thick walls and doors, an officer 
 and posse are sworn into a Winchester protection of innocence — 
 and law. They see an excited crowd ; the mob, the mob ! the 
 deadly enemies of law and order are upon us ; remember you are 
 sworn by the law — three, four, live — fire ! It is done, and a crime 
 is committed, in a sense, equal to the murder of the girl who was 
 found in the lake. Who is responsible? Not that officer only; 
 he is but a unit among a multitude. The pseueo law — righteous- 
 ness, in other words, the sins of the entire people of the State 
 were put on that man, the scape goat of State sin looking up to 
 the legal divinities of the court hoase for protection against State 
 mal-government. The friends of the slain think there are as 
 many cases against him as deaths. They are mistaken. In fact 
 there are none. While the Jews were being educated by symbols 
 out of the darkness ot sin into the j)erception of righteousness, 
 the sins of the people were annually placed upon an animal inno- 
 cent of sin ; and he was not killed but was sent alive into the 
 wilderness. Remember the words of Christ, suppose ye that 
 those Gallileans (whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sac- 
 rifices) were sinners above all the Gallileans, because they suf- 
 fered such things? I tell you, nay; but except ye repent ye 
 shall all likewise perish. 
 
 Away with man-made Constitutions and laws ! Men are op- 
 pressed by their own machinery as apt to work injustice as jus- 
 tice. Away with this cursing every assemblage, not blessed by 
 the sacred breath of a law-imposed oath, as a mob. Is not nearly 
 the whole of history a dreary recital of crimes done in the name 
 of law? A what of mobs? To British enforcers of good govern- 
 ment the assemblage at Lexington was a mob. The firing on 
 Sumpter was deemed by good abolishers of Divine T,aw the act 
 of a mob assaulting the sacred law and goody goody life o/the 
 na ion. And there are millions of those mal educated abjects of 
 the U. S. Papacy who to-day regard the whole South as but little 
 better than bloodthristy mob. 
 
43 
 
 Suppose that in carrying out their purpose the avengers of 
 blood had executed an innocent man. Where would the assum- 
 ed despisers of authority be found ? Not hunting for more blood, 
 but skulking and fleeing from legal process. How many of those 
 despised miners, those said-to-be lawless elements, were found 
 among the killed and wounded in front of the citadel where law 
 was protected by unlawful means ? How many of the soldiers, 
 sent by the mock-heroic sentimentality of the day to tramp the 
 streets of a mob-ruled city, were shot down ? Oh! None. The 
 majesty, &c, had struck terror into the mobbish miscreants, and 
 order reigned in — Birmingham. 
 
 This whole thing is, to say the least, a perversion of law. Had 
 a warrant been issued ajrainst the person accused of the fiendish 
 crime, and those "rouiihs,'" those '•'miners," those "bad elements" 
 had assembled to rescue a brother demoniac then the assault upon 
 society itself would have really begun, and the call to arms by 
 the Executive would have been enthusiastically obeyed, not only 
 by the drilled companies but, if necessary, by every law-abiding 
 citizen, including the very men who are now denounced, and 
 some of them actually killed, as mohocrats. In this the defence 
 of society^ the issue would be rightly made ; and the really Lavj- 
 less would be laid in the same grave with the murderer o^' his 
 own child. As it is, "innocence" is "protected" and is alive, 
 while probably as good citizens as the officers who shot them to 
 death are in their graves, waiting, waiting t^le judgment of the 
 great Hay. If the foundation of society itself had been attack- 
 ed, and had the Executive of the State and many of his men 
 been slain, they would be numbered with the host whom the 
 Lord Himself commands and leads to the extermination of the 
 lawless. The people are evidently loseing confidence in "law" 
 as an enforcer of justice. I beg to suggest that the people of 
 towns, counties, &c , organize themselves into local tribunals to 
 the end that instant trial shall be had and justice done, in case of 
 demoniac crimes. This will become the common law of DemoG- 
 racy. Crimes without number have been perpetrated in the 
 name of law which public opinion cannot wipe out; crimes 
 which officials as well as the slaves of public opinion will have 
 to answer for at the bar of God. 
 
 What is the result of all this misplaced loyalty to law ? Noth- 
 ing but a continuous freedom to go on in the complications of 
 wrong slavery. The Temple of Haphazard will be the more 
 overcrowded with — law, and legal platitudes will be offered more 
 abundantly to the ghost of justice. Without, Nammon will re- 
 sume his throne and worship go on as usual. The pretium of the 
 "bad elements" will still be used to double the already doubled 
 front foot; sas-si-ety will look down from its priggish height 
 upon those mean people, the "adulterers and adulteresses" allud- 
 ed to in scripture ; the pious people will beg the "lawless" ele- 
 ment to come and hear the preachments of the alleged churches 
 
44 
 
 of Christ; 'inerican labor will be pro-tec-ted so high — four or 
 five or ten thousand to the front foot and several hundreds to the 
 acres in the suberbs — that it, 'merican labor, will be in good 
 shape to tramp off to new lands or to burglary, to the pauper's 
 or the drunkard's grave. The re-echoed blare of the Paternal 
 ism, the sharp revreberations of the great demon — blowed trom- 
 bone of the central Plutocracy, Tax-tax, Tax-tax Tax-tax Tax- 
 tax still fills the land and this is in our supposed-to-be part of 
 it — the new South. 
 
 All this comes of inflating government whether popeish, 
 kingly or popular, with Demoniac power pretendedly Divine. 
 This is what goes as strong government. It is the same Demon, 
 barbarism civilized, that has desolated Europe for ages and ages. 
 But the Day of retribution is nearing. The impending Keturn 
 of lawless loyalty upon strong governments, the Retribution 
 which wicked Christendom has Jbeen so long preparing, is at hand. 
 J^t an hour of which none are aware, creatures who it is pre- 
 tended are endowed with immortal souls — souls that cannot die 
 however demoniac they may be — will be dashed against each 
 other by their strong rulet's, and the often blood- drenched battle 
 grounds will be the scenes of more dreadful slaughter than the 
 three great conquorers ever saw. But thank God ! there is not 
 only a limit to Abaddon and hi'^ myrmidons but it is a limit im- 
 posed by the Sovereign Providence ; and the result will be the 
 utter destruction of Popery, and its elimination from every gov- 
 ernment constituted on popeish ideas, and especially from this 
 U. S. government that has apostatised from Americanism to the 
 use of those ideas. 
 
 The remnant will come safely through the hour of retribution, 
 providentially educated through the excesses of rulership into 
 preparation for the inauguration of Messianic Law and millenial 
 peace" 
 
 Once a Democrat always a Democrat! Once a Christian 
 always a Christian! The ungrounded in right principle were 
 never either one or the other. There are those in whom the ca- 
 pacity of truth is dead and blind, their natural hearts being 
 wrapped in abolition. From such the small modicum of truth is 
 at last taken away. The deaf and blind Republican party will 
 ac last have to give up their little all, their soul-nothing, oflBce 
 pap — to the Democracy, who will use it, along with Democratic 
 principles, for the Republican good of all the people. The analo- 
 gous protestant churches will have to give up their sectarian 
 trumpery to Messiah's Zion, for their own good and Christ's glory. 
 But great Babylon, utteily bound in the thick grossness of the 
 religious abolisher of souls, will be cast down, as a stone into the 
 sea, and shall never again be seen. 
 
 Brother Democrats of the North! be patient with your neigh- 
 bors, the poor deluded partisans of gopeism. They "point with 
 pride" the finger of their local or national demagogue to the dio- 
 
45 ' 
 
 bolic past. You look to the horrible past only for ftiture guid- 
 ance. Reflect then, that many superficial Democrats were driven 
 by a sudden burst of sorceristic abolition to double themselves 
 under the usurpers of power, and that no one who relies upon 
 bloodshed, to force a political union, is either a Democrat or a 
 Christian. The liars having affixed the brand ot ''rebel" upon 
 the Souch want you to believe that repudiation of force by the 
 North will be instantly followed by a renewal of secession. Rea- 
 son with the poor gopeish afflicts. Tliey are not yet full con- 
 verts following the strong government imp ol Monarchy, for of- 
 fice pap; and when reason and conscience shall get out of the ab- 
 olition fog the afflicts will desert the disunion tiemagogues by the 
 millions. Reason with them! and they will learn rhat ''protec- 
 tion" of labor by a tax on labor is inverved communism that goes 
 to enrich the "money" lords in proportion as the laborers are im- 
 poverished. Reason! 1 hay will see that the negro, a distinct 
 creation and lowest homo in the creative scale has been played 
 off on them as a brother-man subjected to horrible injustice by 
 southern masters. Really the sorcerers have made the negro a 
 sort of god and he is taken into partnership by the high priests 
 of the black sovereignty, and the fear that the people will quitfol- 
 lowing them and their god fills those dealers in white slavery 
 with anguish. The cowardly murderous Robespierre, the bel- 
 lowing ferocious Donton, the pious vindictive Quilp has their rep- 
 resentatives to-day in the monster styled the Republican party. 
 Compared with many of its magnates I do not presume to doubt 
 that the priests of Dagon were gentlemen and christians. 
 
 Remember, that the perpetrators of the demoniac crimes of false 
 allegiance are pre-Gehennic. That is, these revelers in the pride 
 of power, by whom the human miseries caused by themselves 
 are laid upon God, will yet find themselves in the last abode of 
 Devils, the memory of sins committed in thisdife revived and 
 preying upon the dying souls like the deathless worm, and burn- 
 ing like the unquenchable fire. At the last judgment the sepa- 
 ration between the two eternalisms will have been completed. 
 Every Judas christian will know that he is the same personage 
 as when he lived in this world, but there suffering under the last 
 destroying retributions brought upon himself by non secession 
 from the Abolisher while in the flesh. Every allegiant to Christ 
 will also know that he is the same individual as when in the first 
 body, but freed in his spiritual body of sickness, pain, and death, 
 for the former things will have passed away. 
 
 It is true that every one in this present body can repent ex- 
 cept blasphemers against the Holy Spirit. The nature of that 
 unpardonable sin can be explained: The Christ is the born son 
 of God, and also taking his earthly life from a daughter of Adam, 
 he is the son of man. Subordinating wholly his human nature 
 to his Father he attains the absolute holiness of the God-Priest; 
 and, though in human flesh, he was empowered by Jehovah to 
 
46 
 
 use the "finger of God" to cure the blind, raise the dead, and do 
 many benificient miracles to prove that he came to save and not 
 to destroy souls. Therefore, to attribute to Beelzebub the gra- 
 cious acts of the Messiah, then on earth, and yet in equal holi- 
 ness to Jehovah, (as those infatuated rulers did) was to commit 
 the unpardonable sin. They were compelled to admit the mira- 
 cles of goodness, and compelled to account for them; and, degrad- 
 ing the God-Priest to the level of the Bad Spirit is equal to blas- 
 phemy against Jehovah Himself, who is the Holy Spirit. 
 
 Whether the Belzebubeans of this age proceed to the extremi- 
 ties of those long ago Christ-haters we do not pretend to know. 
 This we do kuDw that whosoever is or will be lost has not God to 
 curse for their calamity. The Jewish rabbles of to-day are cor- 
 rect in affirming that every one must be his own savior. Their 
 dangerous mistake lies in the assumption that they can come 
 near or before Jehovah in a righteousness independent of the Mes- 
 siah who was so long ago crucified for sins not his own, the 
 once slave-man who bore the sins of both Jew and Gentile upon 
 the cross; but now, triumphant over abolition death, the very and 
 only vicegerent of Jehovah, the glorious mediator above. The 
 Rabbles substitute Yom Kipper, or a Day of atonement for the 
 atonement. This is equivelent to humanly substituted media- 
 torship, and involves more or less reliance upon the priestism of 
 a created being." The Mediating Savior saves those who saves 
 themselves from damning errors, one of which is hypocricy, un- 
 der judging, a dangerous thing to both Jews and Gentiles. It is 
 certain that to rely upon ceremonies to the extent of rejecting 
 the Mediator and his atonement is to die unrepentant, and to die 
 unrepentant is equivalent to postponing the day of repentance to 
 Hades; and, as a repentance that should have been worked out 
 while in this present body is impossible in Hades, this post- 
 ponement is op.e that is ceriain to have the most dreadful termi- 
 nations imaginable. 
 
 It should not be inferred that right secession allegiance and 
 motivity are attainable by simple mapping out these piocesses 
 in the mind. These are the constituents of idioship and pertain 
 to all the rational creatures of God, and is manifested in the 
 desire, the loill, in each creature to save its own life. The deer 
 flies in headlong speed to save his life, his soul. The lion, from 
 similar motivity, stands on the defensive or charges his enemy. 
 So with man, as to redemption. When he shall fully understand 
 that the assumption of a belief in what we may term created 
 immortality, or of the still more absurd faith that the death of 
 Jesus, the atonement itself, confers immortality — that such faiths 
 are stark delusions reliance upon which is simply the surrender 
 of the soul to the destroyer of souls — then the true motivity will 
 be aroused, and man will fly or fight and use all other means 
 ofiered through the good Mediator to escape Gehenna. The 
 Omnipresent Spirit acts not only through the published covenant 
 
47 
 
 but also through His creative works. Hence some of the heath- 
 en, who never heard of a Mediator from Heaven, have been en- 
 abled to attain the right motivity, and will at last be numbered 
 among the redeemed. Acts X, 1, 2, 3. 
 
 Heaven wi]I contain none but they who during this purgatorial 
 fragment of eternity were practicalli/ secessionists and allegiants. 
 It will be a most astounding revelation at the judgment day to the 
 loyals of spiritual and political dragonism to see coming from 
 North, South, East and West, and from every condition of this 
 Eternalism, the comparatively few who, through all ages, subor- 
 dinates the flesh, the world and the Devil to attain the right mo- 
 tivity, aggregating at hist the great multitude whom no man can 
 number, while the}-, the lovers of this world will be thrust out. 
 
 Heaven is an unforced socialism wherein none can enter save 
 they who do the Mediator's commandments. Having attained 
 the right motivity — i. e., election — they '' hctve a right to th'^i tree 
 of life and may enter in through the gates into the city." The 
 Sovereign never used pre-mundane or pre-eternal or pre-any-kind 
 of force to stuff creatures with election. Saul, a good Pharisee, zeal- 
 ous and honest in defence of the church, as the church had been, 
 saw and heard Jesus, just as the Apostles had seen and heard him 
 while on earth ; and the honest zealot immediately began, through 
 fasting and prayer, to gain the knowledge of the Truth. Had 
 foine of the Scribes and Pharisees been in their authorized officer's 
 place they would have believed that the apparition was of sheol 
 wickedly designed to get them out of the only church. 
 
 To the citizens of perfected socialism, made up exclusively of 
 confirmed anti- abolitionists, the meaning of the sublime truth. 
 " Christ hath abolished death and brought life and immortality to 
 light in the gospel," will be made plainer. The great truth is 
 taught that death, the very means of soul-abolishment brought 
 into the world by the great enemy, is made abolishable as to man 
 by means of Chrisfs death as shown forth in the gospel. Had 
 Christ abolished death ahsolutely, as many D. D.'s construe the 
 matter, no one could have died since Christ rose from the dead. 
 The universal reign of death is conclusive of the fact that death 
 itself is made a factor in the education of sinners out of tlie wrong 
 slavery into the benificent mastership and life and immortality 
 more distinctly brought to light in the gospel. In the earlier ages 
 of education, when the more powerful of our race lawfully en- 
 slaved their weaker brethren, the Master caused his onark to be 
 made on the forehead or hand, presumably a sign that his slave 
 was to think for his master's interest as well as work for him. 
 This fact was recalled to the mind of the inspired one who saw 
 the pure river of life proceeding out cf the throne of God and the . 
 Lamb, and who wrote the triumphant antithesis, His " slaves 
 shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads." When 
 the modern scientist would convey an idea of the infinity of space 
 he starts a slave of his mind — the noblest at his service — to go 
 
48 
 
 with the swiftness of light into the unfathomable empja-oan, but 
 the wanderer never returns. Not so with the actually redeemed 
 in heaven. While there serving their divine Savior and Master 
 with deathless love, the saved will send their mental slaves far 
 out into the unbounded empire of the Lord God Omnipoient, and 
 thesb will return with gems of purest knowledge augmenting the 
 ever renewed and renevving motivity of everlasting allegiance to 
 the God-priest through and by whom eternal life is given and im- 
 mortality perpetuated. The fact is, were we not bound in degrad- 
 ing slavery of our unrepented sins; of our free freedom; of our 
 fancied virtues, confirmed by some vain ceremony ; our allegiance 
 to Satan-peddled law, men even in this lite could, in some degree, 
 comprehend the awfully sublime truth that the entire organic 
 and inorganic materialisms of the universe are but the slaves of 
 Jehovah^s mind ; for, saith the living creatures and the elders, 
 " thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they were and 
 are created." 
 
 On the contrary, Gehenna is a/orced communism ; not a com- 
 munism oi' jyroperty^ but oi' character. It is the very opposite to 
 the unforced socialism of heaven. Infidels will doubtless say if . 
 this Gehenna of yours exists, or will exist, it also is or will be 
 created for God's pleasure. As well might it be said that He cre- 
 ated wickedness for His pleasure. The entirety of creation in its 
 primal forms is not only good, but very good. Gehenna, then, 
 as a place, is simply the last and restricted result of the fire that 
 will have purified all other parts of the globe. Were there no 
 resurrected heing,s Jit only for such a place, Gehenna would be as 
 harmless as the smouldering fires of a burnt out city. It is the 
 character of its citizens that assimilates that pit to the lost cities 
 of the plain. God foreknew that some of His highest creatures 
 would attempt to abolish their proper relation to Himself. He 
 foreknew that the first man would sin precisely as he did sin. He 
 foreknew that such creatures would be born as have been born 
 into the world. But, beyond all this, He foreknew that just such 
 a plan of redemption could be formed as has been formed and is 
 being executed^ for correction or destruction of abolitionism in its 
 every manifestation. 
 
 The mind, then, tl^at sends out an evil slave to bring back woid 
 that God takes pleasure in evil, in the abstract or in the death of 
 sinners, has every reason to know that a silly knave has been 
 sent who will bring back a lie to his foolish master. 
 
 From whom, then will forced communism proceed ? Satan's 
 primal (ffence being W7i«^«9?ie«6/e, the materialism formed in the 
 beginning is describable as having been j^repared for him. In his 
 appropriate environments, the great Abolitionist is, in the nature 
 of things, the high and mighty Pope of the place, and the lawless 
 herd — compendiously described as "dogs, sorcerers, whoremong- 
 ers', murderers, idolaters, at d whosoever loveth a lie " — will be 
 his priests, his officers, enforcers of gehennic " best [government 
 Gehenna ever saw:" 
 
49 
 
 Here it may be asked by tiie thoughtful why Gehenna may not 
 be to the Devil and his angels what Hades is to such human be- 
 ings as died repentant but not in full allegiance? The answer is 
 decisive. There are two resurrections, the first and second, and 
 two judgments ; and before the final judgment, titness for life 
 eternal and consequent immortality^ will be tiie exclusive subject 
 of trial. Tliere the originator of evil will have to appear, not as 
 the primal sinner, but as the abolisher of life, and will be con- 
 demned as unfit for life, and cast into the "lake of fire ;" and from 
 that fiery grave there cannot be another resurrection and another 
 trial. 
 
 To go into an extended description of this forced commune is 
 beyond the scope of this little book. The nutriment of the place 
 will be the materialism of the phiee, aud common to all ; just as 
 air and sunshine are common to all creatures now on earth. It 
 is obvious tluit the naturals and demoniacs of this life will, upon 
 condemnation to Gehenna, instantly become the lowest and most 
 violent, the most exaggerated re-enactors of the preceding mental 
 and moral states of our fallen nature. Most marked will be the 
 unanimity with which the whole Den will worship their Pope, 
 the variations being titular. Monarchists will pay allegiance to 
 him as King, Emperor, Czar, etc.; Musselmen, as Mahomets' one 
 God ; Gopes and scab demo-party men, as the strong president ; 
 anarchists, the infidels of the den, but will curse among them- 
 selves the much worshipped pope as another Christly humbug 
 and tyrant whom they vrould like to blow up with hell-dynamite. 
 Priests will take the gates. "I told you so. Don't you see that 
 our faith was right, and popery was ordained from everlastmg."' 
 These will be the chief sorcerers of the commune, creating brim- 
 stone Christs, converting scoria into images of the Virgin, re- 
 quoting council This and council That, constantly going behind 
 altars to make vrafer gods, and forgiving sins, and grant immunity 
 to crimes. But the most lamentable condition will be that of the 
 more refined of every governmental scheme, of parties and of sects, 
 including, as I do, the comparatively^ better elements of the whole 
 world. There have been and may be now a great many almost 
 christians, but there can be no partiality in the judgment. Who 
 soever is found not fit for life, i. e., ''not written in the Lamb's 
 book of life," will be cast into the lake of fire; — liev. xx-15, and 
 the only imaginable equity of retribution li3s in the gloomy hope 
 and probability that the almost christians will be the first to be 
 released from the satanic eternali'^ni. When the second deatli 
 shall have taken the less wicked inlo its cold bosom, Gehena will 
 be one vast horrible commixture of communistic devils an I devil- 
 natured men, blaspheming God and destroying each other- 
 Most pathetic and most astonishing sight of all will be the mul- 
 titudes of so-called christians, composed of persons who had been 
 brought into some church or other on no doctrine or on false doc- 
 trines — of some who intlated themselves with an e.TO-repentance 
 
50 
 
 and floated like baloons far up into the heights of a free will spi- 
 ritualism, of others who anchored around repentance like boats to 
 a pierhead, and waited for some mysterious '■from-all-eternity 
 election" to come along and waft their boats to the better shore, 
 or for an extraordinary touch of Grace to give them a plunge 
 bath and an assurance of confirmation of the new nature. 
 
 One powerful cause of soul-ruin may be traced back to the now 
 wide belief that sinners are dead and that until God is pleased to 
 regenerate the corpse no one can repent or do anything to fit him- 
 self for the heavenly existence. Thus it is that Truth itself is 
 converted by the Enemy to the uses of error. It is indeed true 
 that man is dead in trespasses and sins, but it is not true 
 that he is so mentally dead that he cannot hear the authoritative 
 voice of the Lawgiver and Sovereign. Awake ! ye dead-asleep 
 slaves of sin and work for your salvation under My direction. It 
 cannot be otherwise, then, that these self deceived christians, 
 these gentlemen in social intercourse, these comparatively noble- 
 souled will find themselves out of place among the herd of dogs, 
 liars, murderers, and the lowest demoniacs, and will die early in 
 their Gehenic existence under intolerable anguish of spirit. 
 
 Last of all the great Anti-Slaveryite and his angels will fall 
 under the power of that very death that he, as tempter, had 
 brought into the problem of redemption, many thousands of years 
 before, the same soul-abolishing death that learned ignorance 
 virtually imputes to a fatality which God Himself cannot resist ; 
 the same kind of death that has caused the sundering of soul and 
 body of every son of Adam, except of Enoch, Elijah and Jesus; 
 the same death, Satan's own, now returned upon the originator, 
 as the second death. 
 
 One reason given why heaven and the Holy Apostles and Proph- 
 ets should rejoice over the fall of satan in his Babylonish Shape 
 is, "for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived". Conscious 
 intention is not the only element of hypocrisy. Sorcerers and 
 othfir species of hypocrites in deceiving others deceive themselves. 
 
 The chief characteristic of such is conservatism of essential bad- 
 ness mixed with a servile reverence for the scafolding used in the 
 past for right education of sinners. For example the religious 
 commune of puritans really believed that the long ago dead law 
 against wizards was still in force around Plymoth rock, and that 
 their parsons were as competent to spot the guilty ones as was Moses 
 himself. Under that once Law, priest-peddled into Salem as liv- 
 ing law, several persons were actually hung, and every malicious 
 knave encouraged by law to persecute his or her neighbor. And 
 today that region of the world is held down by a conservatism of 
 Sorcerestic Diabolism paralleled only by the lawlessness of the 
 peddler of priest-law and priest-fostered sins while it was in the 
 neyday of sorceristic despotism over all nations. It is certainly 
 true that men may be so badly deceived that they really believe 
 that right is wrong and that wrong is right. 
 
51 
 
 Christs rule, the golden rule, when christianized comes as near 
 a perfected socialism as is possible on earth. The same rule when 
 abolitionized comes as near to a state of forced communism as 
 possible on earth. The sorcerized j^ar/j/ having abaddomized the 
 Constitution are doing to the South (over the left) what the 
 South should do to them. It is the very essence of hypocricy. 
 They have established on each flank of the South what brutal 
 masters of dumb creatures term a raw, one the "free" raw, the 
 other the "law" raw. The law lash is the imported (free of duty) 
 Irish-lash and Poland-lash. The free lash is plied hottentotism 
 laid on by the chief priests of congress to prove to their gaping 
 constituents how free sorcerized fools can be. It seems from the 
 way these priests of negroism abuse representatives from the 
 South for taking a forced hand in "shaping" our government that 
 whether in or out of the Hog-pen they are "liebels." And since 
 all seem to be "loyal" it must be that all are rebels ! And what 
 is the common consequence ? A description of real wicked men 
 who had their rebel day some eighteen hundred years ago may 
 severe as a foil -.to the virtues? Of onr moderns ; being tilled 
 with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, 
 maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, 
 whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, 
 inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without under- 
 standing, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implaca- 
 ble, unmerciful. 
 
 Now the no-question before the washed Swinery is who is re- 
 sponsible for the over-the-line virtues of we U. S. & Co? It 
 must be that the thing lies between God and the negro, for it is 
 notorious that partyism and churchism and the whole nation is 
 free and good, &c., and how could they be of any Kin to such 
 old time characters? Kickago and Kumpy and Kawble morals 
 are the rage, incomparably superior to the vulgar excesses of 
 those pagans. 
 
 Southern people act very much as if they believed that Fate 
 governs Providence. Instead of trying to make allies of the real 
 people of the North, the working men, the small farmers, and all 
 of both parties who are trying to make an honest living and who 
 are beginning to look with more orless detestation upon the semi- 
 British and three fourth Hottentotism, they curl up, and listen 
 listlessly to the same class of diabolic utterances that preceded 
 the invasion of the South twenty-five or thirty years ago. They 
 say the threats of those demoniacs are nothing but vapor ; times 
 are changed ; we are doing as well as could be expected ; the ne- 
 groes are generally contented ; they are here to stay, and Con- 
 gress is here to stay, and the little law- piggeries too ; we have al- 
 ways had them and can't do without them ; to change the old 
 ruts would be a curtailment of freedom or something or other ; 
 and 1-a-wme ! how could people get along without popes and 
 kings and all those i^iy/i powers that were ordained of God? 
 
52 
 
 And would He ordain a Be- power unless it was actually Chrsi- 
 tian ? Tut! Tut! there must be two-legged asses, food for pow- 
 der and taxeries and lawyers ; there must be toekissiug papists 
 who must have a visible god aoid his chancellory scale of prices 
 for absolution of sins ; there must be churches in abundance, many 
 varieties suited to manj- minds, salting everybody with many 
 pinches of improved morality, nineteenth century philanthropy ; 
 and if God wants to change us, why let Him change ! 'tis true 
 we are better than other nations, but a few more greenbacks would 
 not come amiss ; here we are, we are not going to run from Him, 
 or the negro, or the Georgia marcher, and we don^t know exactly 
 whether He is responsible for evil or not, and perhaps, on the 
 whole, everything is God and there is no evil at all. 
 
 Just so. And surveying the wiiole field the question is, how 
 much viler is the Antichrist worshipped by the people of the 
 United States than the Anti-Christ whose seat is in the seven- 
 hilled cit}''. That's it ! You may take it as satire, as irony, as -. 
 exaggeration, as abuse; nevertheless, there is truth in every bit. 
 Komish popery is old and almost dead. Had the man of sin not 
 bound himself hand and foot in the chain of infallibility he might 
 wash off the old stains left b}^ the blood of martyrs, put on a pro- 
 testant priest-cui outfit, and be as decent a beast as any in the 
 world. People would crowd to its grand temples to hear its op- 
 eratic music, and see the antics of its priests and bishops and 
 cardinals and all that. 
 
 It comes to this at last, that there is more true religion among 
 infidels than among hypocrites. The far-fetched doctrine that all 
 the land on the globe is a gift to man at large by the Creator must 
 be subordinated to the precise truth that the Sovereign has bes- 
 towed a property-right to land, at the same time making the own- 
 ers His trustees in the just and right use of it as property. Then, 
 the only question is, how can that trusteeship be enforced in civ- 
 ilized society? That the single tax on land values will afford the 
 proper means is theoretically demonstrated, and the pi^int is how 
 to bring the theory into practice, but the birds, who have feather- 
 ed their nests, object that the practical effect would be the setting 
 up of an anarchical paternalism infinitelj^ v/orse than auything in 
 that line now existng. Not necessarily. Do justice, and those 
 despised anarchists may be the first to become real christians. 
 The enforcement of just government depends at last niore upon 
 the character of the euforces them on human laws, however old 
 and time worn they may be. The people^ then should turn out 
 the present devotees of the various law-piggeries, not by bombs 
 but by regular procedure, and place our institutions on rock bot- 
 tom, by enacting the single tax ; by calling in the paper of the 
 fodderstack paternalism, from the bankable banks and the bond- 
 able bondholders; greenbacking the whole for currency until 
 money can be substituted, and by doing everything that mere leg- 
 is|atipn can do towards putting a stop to the credit System. 
 
53 
 
 The debt created by our secession ancestors daring the fight 
 ?gainst tyranny, went finally to silent protest. Is the debt crea- 
 ted in subvertiug the liberty thus won a sacred thing! These pol- 
 ities, along with absolute free trade, honestly accepted by a peo- 
 ple, bent on the inauguration of right and justice among men, 
 would be promotive of more true religion than can now be found 
 anywhere in the churches of this world. Besides these reforma- 
 tions, beneficial to the whole mass of citizenship, voting and non 
 voting, white and black, the South is peculiarly interested in an 
 alliance which will take the negro entirely from the traders in 
 his vote by placing the race to themselves, and in as good condi- 
 tion as fiach one now enjoys. The selling price of strangulated 
 lands in the black belts would at once advance atjleast fivefold in 
 comparison with the advance in taxatioii value. The latter, in 
 fact, depends upon the presence of a more or less dense popula- 
 tion of industrious producers, more or less shillcd in the several^ 
 branches of agriculture, manufacture, or commerce. When work- 
 ers are sparse and inefficient, rent value of land is low. Where 
 massed and efficient, rent value is high. The tax onus, being on 
 land alone, will stimulate the owner to place every posssible im- 
 jjrovement upon it. Laborers having to pay no tax at all, will 
 reap the benefits in, as yet, untold happiness, the chief of which 
 will be the drying up of the law-piggeries and the bringing of 
 right government to each ones home and locality, precisely where 
 it ought to be, and will be during the reign of millenial peace and 
 righteousness. 
 
 This great reformation being started here, the peoples of Eu- 
 rope might comprehend the folly of the punishments that we 
 have been inflicting upon ourselves through more than 100 years 
 of legislative piddling and strong monarch-like paternalism, and 
 go by one grand leap from abject oppression to the infallible pro- 
 tection of Him who has treed man from ceremonial laws in order 
 that he may more salvatorily obey the unamended and unamend- 
 able Constitution of Law, outside of which all claims to sover- 
 eignty are but the babblings of puerility joined to the fell wis- 
 dom, of the anti-slaveryite wno originated murder, and made it 
 systematic by inspiring the idea of allegiance to human contri- 
 vances. The history of our race whether in its state of barbar 
 ism or civilization is written in human blood, none of which is 
 worthy of preservation, save the portion written in the blood, 
 of political martyrs, and in the^iiore precious blood of the mar- 
 tyrs of Jesus. When the earth and the sea shall give up their 
 dead the truth will then be made known to the universe that sa- 
 tan, the primal abolitionist, has no life in himself andean give 
 none to his evil-natured freedmen, but that the martyred Son of 
 man hath eternal life in himself, and will give to the care of his 
 lather who alone hath immortality, every who one lived and died 
 alfegiance to the covenant. 
 
 Ther§ is a Scripture which tends to confirm the doctrines of this 
 
54 
 
 little book and with that we close. The idea is, that one with 
 eyes put out and ears plugged could not be blinder and deafer to 
 light and sound than certain persons are to the nature and design 
 of atonement. The doctrine that the atonement is neither uni- 
 versal or particular seems to be foolishness to them. The doctrine 
 that Jesus died as God's slave-man in the stead of satan's slave 
 men, and that this oblation is the substance of atonement, hor- 
 rifies the natural mind. And, admitting that such vicarious sacri- 
 fice was offered exchcswely to God, man in the state of nature can- 
 not see how he is interested in the matter one way or another. 
 All this is because the mental way trod by priests and preachers 
 is narrower than the moral swath they cut. 
 
 God cannot die : neither could Christ die as the Son of God. 
 Had he, as the son of man determined at the last hour to pre- 
 termit obedience to God as his Sovereign, and to go back to his 
 Father as His Son, not through but over death, he could have done 
 so. The Son's prayer to the Father would have been heard, and 
 legions of angels would have been sent to bring back the deathless 
 Son of God. 
 
 But Christ as the Messiah, or son of man, determined to fulfil 
 the prophesies concerning himself of the very letter, and therefore 
 he gave himself to the will of those tormenters, only because he was 
 commanded by the sin-hating Father to thus suffer at the hands of 
 cruel sinners. It follows, although the atonement was offered not 
 to man but directly to Jehovah that He, as the Holy Spirit, 
 returns the atonement to man as the only means by which slaves 
 of sin can repent and take up the allegiance cross and prepare for 
 immortal existence. 
 
 But, for the trial of our faith and patience, the fallen spirit, the 
 great enemy of God and man, is permitted to live in the air which 
 we breathe. As the continual degrader of the true atonement he 
 may be named the creatarely holy ghost, and it is that ghost who 
 inspires faith in false atonements. 
 
 Thus the imitating spirit makes weak and sickly christians or 
 winds them up so completely in his faith in a false atonernent 
 that retributive, not judicial, blindness from the true God over- 
 takes men, and they stumble on to destruction. This is what 
 Paul meant in Acts xxviii 26. 27, a truth spoken by the Holy 
 Sjyirii through one of His prophets long before Messiah came in 
 the flesh. ^ 
 
 Now can any sane mind believe that, when the compassionate 
 Savior exulted over the return of their own blindness upon the 
 "wise and prudent" rulers of the Jews, he was exulting over the 
 endless torment of those miserables ? Of course God hides His 
 gospel, the pearl of great price, from sinners who look up to God 
 not through the Mediator but through their own fancied righteous- 
 ness. Such righteousness is the prompting of the abolition spirit 
 in his guise of holyghost, the same spirit who comes into the soul 
 
55 
 
 through false Messiahs. No one, therefore, Jew or Gentile, who 
 in any age places a faith in a Messiah through the inspiration of 
 that false spirit, is a christian ; and possibly the responsible may 
 be so utterly subverted by the demoniac abolislier of souls that he 
 becomes an antichrist as towards Jehovah, and a p&eudo-christian 
 as towards satan; bound in the amazing conceit of vicarish infal- 
 libility, or in bigotry to church ceremonials, or in the gross infi- 
 delity which in the ecstacy of unreason cries out, there is no 
 God!
