“ When once the hitherto peaceable and harmless negroes shall be so far deluded by Lincoln and his fellow assassins, as to begin the business of murdering white men and women, the work of their own extermination will be quick and terrible. The Beechers and Cheevers are preparing the way for a visitation of wrath and misery upon the unfortunate blacks, which they would never experience in this country if the abolition assassins had never been born. How long will white men sit still and hear these mad-men proclaim that "the negroes are the forlorn hope of the Republic!" ”

“ We shall never relinquish the hope of bringing the revolted States back into the Union—back on the same principles and grounds of equality, on which they came in when the Union was formed—we want to see them back on no other terms. ”

“ The men that have picked cotton must now pick flints! Gather the great Third Army! For two years the Government has been searching in an enemy's country for a path to victory: only the Negro can find it! ”

“ At a late gathering in Jersey city, one of the black Beechers boastingly declared that, "as the right General had not yet been found among the white folks, a black man may be selected to lead the army." ”

“ He abandons the hope of success for legitimate warfare, and tries—thank God in vain—to stir the negroes up to insurrection and murder. The negroes as a class appear to have more sense or more humanity than their bloody and brutal allies, the abolitionists. ”
