edytoral control uv Petroleum V. Nasby.

The “Marter and Tirent Resister” will support
Vallandigum, and while givin the guvernment a
harty support in puttin down the rebelyun, will
uv coarse oppose—

Coercin the secedid staits;

Invadin the secedid staits;

Raisin armies by draft er conscripshen;

Raisin meens by tax or tariff;

Arrestin uv men for sympathisin with the
Southern Dimokrasy;

Arrestin uv eny body for any thing;

The usin uv niggers ez soljers;

The usin uv white men ez soljers;

Every thing the Administrashen hez dun, is doin,
er may hereafter do.

It will viggerously advokate—

The Constitooshn ez it is;

Doin away uv the Constitooshn;

The Union ez it wuz;

The plan for dividin the Union in2 4 parts;

The elekshen uv troo Dimekrats to good payin

Morality and good order;

The mobbin uv Methodis, Presbyterin, Luthrin,
Brethrin, and uther hetrodox churches.

I appele confidently too the Dimokrasy for support.
The actooal, ginooine principles uv Dimokrasy
need a able defender, and I 'm the identicle
individooal. My hole sole is in the coz, and I am
pecooliarly fitted by eddicashen and tastes for the
posishen.

I bleeve the speckelashen will pay hevy. My
Church welkomed me back with a corjality trooly
affectin. They held a festivle on my return, to
wich the Sundy-skool skolars wuz present. I unbended
myself, and kist em onct apeece, takin a nip
of corn essense atween times, wich wuz nessary.
Mistakin a mother for her infant, the infooriated
husband assaulted me. I wuz reskood afore much
damij wuz dun. A speshl church meetin will be
held too consider his case.

Petroleum V. Nasby,
Paster uv sed Church, in charge.
