MISSISSIPPI LAMBS.

Here is a collection of extracts from
Democratic papers in Mississippi which
are interesting as showing the spirit of
the persecuted and oppressed Democrat-
ic lambs in the South. Poor fellows, how
humble and docile they are! How grate-
ful they are to Mr. Hayes for his kindness
to them! How eager they are to be con-
ciliated, and do anything for peace and
the re-establishment of fraternal resolu-
tions and brotherly love! Hear their
piteous bleating:

Vicksburg Herald.
"The people of this State who control
its political destinies are bitterly opposed
to any and all violations of law, but they
are determined that it is our business to re-
dress wrongs in this State."

Winona Free Press.
"Two cars of the northern bound pas-
senger train on Thursday morning were
filled with troops from New Orleans, on
route for Leavenworth. Kansas. We
will be glad when the last memento of
our wrongs, sufferings, and oppressions
shall be put beyond our sight. Then,
and not until then, can we breathe the
pure atmosphere of freedom, and feel
that the glorious deed of a gallant people
is no longer thrown back upon them as a
reproach and insult by the dastards of a
section, who, though they could not con-
quer had the numbers to overcome them."

Okolona Southern States.
"Talk of the Kemper county outrage!
Was that anything when compared to the
murders and burning and devilish out-
rages of every character and description
that you visited upon us while the civil
war was in progress? Down, down on
your knees you wretches. and pray God
to forgive your atrocities before you dare
to rebuke us for anything. We have had
just about enough of this tigerish inter-
ference on your part. R. B. Hayes is
the worst enemy the Southern people ever
had. He is crowded into a corner just
now, is the reason he is so silent. Hayes!
Why the name is the embodiment of all
that is horrible in Yankeedom.'

Kosciusko Star.
"For the crime of receiving the Presi-
dency from the hands of political thieves.
the American people should never forgive
Mr. Hayes, and the press should not let
the subject sleep until the stain is wiped
from our National escutcheon by an over-
whelming Democratic triumph. To make
war on him for this we regard as both
proper and patriotic."

Yazoo Herald.
"The Democratic party has done too
much for the South to be abandoned now
for any false god that may be made by
the hand of Hayes, or for any foolish
organization that may be attempted to be
resurrected in the name of the old Whig
party. Let the South stand faithfully by
the party that has accomplished her re-
demption."
