"HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TICKETS READY FOR THE ELECTION ?
The Free Negro North.-In many parts of the North, the Wide Awakes are composed mainly of Negros. Lincoln's strength is in no inconsiderabls degree, swelled by buck Negroes ; and these are the people that Yankee emissaries ask the South to submit to !--But it is not possible that Southern white men can be guilty of such baseness--Southern women will not permit it !
The day of amalgamation has not come, in the South. Massachusetts may mulattoize herself, and doubtless will--but when she seeks, with the other Northern States, to initiate the doctrine in the South, by imposing on us a free negro Vice President, the day will have come for dissolution. The South must belong to the White Race !"
