The Latest Rebellion!

The slight 'Campbellite' insurrection at the State House.

Janesville, Pope Co., Ark.

MR. EDITOR: As I was at leisure today, for the first time, I concluded I would drop you a few lines, and let you know who was appointed challenger at Galley Rock, and how the election went off there: and also how the old lady Gazette and family was taking on about negro equality and negro supremacy, which they are blowing all over the country like mad bulls.

Now it is a very strange thing to me how the brass-faced scamps can face a negro or any other man after the disgraceful and scandalous way they have acted; now if I had my choice to hug the negro or the rebel, I will hug the negro every time—but not the females, as they do. For why? the colored man is loyal to the United States government, and he fought and defended it bravely; and today they are better deserving the liberty they enjoy than the rebels, for in them we can place confidence, and the rebs—Democrats they call themselves—we can neither trust nor believe; yet they will call themselves Union men and Democrats. I say d—n such Union men; h—l is nearly full of just such Union men as they are: and I think there are some more fixing a mighty pretty way to h—l, or some other sea-port before long, the way they are cutting up about the constitution, and crying 'another war, we will have to fight it out,' and all such. At the election here they had one F. D. Darrh; but he, like all other rebels, was too cheep face to face with an opponent: so everything went on smooth enough here, and we beat them 12 votes: but I see everything did not go on smoothly everywhere in the State, as it did at Galley Rock, by being disturbed by the rebel mobs or the ex-rebel leaders, such as old Ben Emery, Crook, Potts, Sam Williams, Sol Clark, Hoodadel, Skylight & Co., and all the other fire eaters of the South, who have never owned a negro.

They have not lost their entire esteem as negro holders and squanderers of the school and State funds to the amount of $500,000, that Bob Johnson & Co. sold for $75,000, and then frolicked and gambled away. Yet they will say they are Union men, and they are the men to govern the State. I think we have enough to pay now, without putting them in power again to bankrupt the State, for such they would undoubtedly do if they were again in power. We have had as much of their sort as we want just now, anyhow.

Not only this stands against them, but, Sir, look at the innumerable crimes of cold-blooded murder they committed during the war; and these very men who were leaders in the affairs are now at large in defiance of the civil law. Why, Sir, the deeds they committed are abominable in the face of the earth, let alone God and man.

There is a place thirty miles distant from this place where there was a man hung because he was a Union man, by this d—d Barker—and he is at large, preaching and praying, but all the praying he can do, and the whole decalogue, wouldn't save him from h—l, for undoubtedly this is his place in the world to come. This poor Union man was hung between two trees, over the road, and both trees on which the pole rested, on which he was hung, have since died with shame and sorrow to the land that gave birth to such d—d cold-blooded murderers, for such they are, and they can neither clear themselves of it nor leave it. Such is the principles of the great white man's party, who cries so loud and scornful against negro equality. They take the life of the innocent without law or reason.

They have failed by war to overthrow one of the best and greatest governments on earth—having failed at this they now try to rule Congress, hold the State against reconstruction and again defy the government of the United States.

But I think this time they will find it more difficult to seize the forts and arsenals than they did before, and there are a large number who will receive the old pirate motto, 'that dead men tell no tales.' These demagogues sometimes call themselves the white man's party; now I don't know any class of men the country affords that ought to be more in favor of negro equality than they should, for time and again have they taken their own slaves off and sold them, because they had or was about to bring forth a child of which the master was the awful parent: and more than this, I have known them to stand by and see their own grand children sold as slaves for life. This is the great character of the renowned and so-called white man's party; and when this is the case why should they grumble at the liberty and equality of all men before the law.

They call their process, bleaching the negro in the shade, and ours negro supremacy. I would like some ex-rebel to answer the question, which of the great evils are the worst, to make him, as he is, equal with all men before the law, or bleach him out the way they propose doing. This bleaching the negro in the shade is one patent that has been overlooked by the Jeff. Davis Congress, and as it has adjourned until the resurrection of Gen. Price, I will close.

I am, Sir, a true Republican,
