As the principal purpose and aim of the Vallandighammers is evidently to hold the niggers all safe and secure so that no loss shall accrue to their rebel masters while they are fighting to overthrow the Government we suggest that they go at once down into Dixie and take charge of and hold this colored property until the war is concluded. They could not show their love for their “misguided brethren” in a better way, and the employment would certainly be congenial.
