Nv Moo Jersey, June %, 1868,
These is the dark days Nv the Dimocrisy
The misforchoons that befell our armies in
front of Richmond the fall Nv our kappy-
tie, tollered by the surrender Nv our armies
2 Grant and Sherman hez hurt us. Our
feeders are eether pinin in loathesum dun
guns, inkarseratid by the hevin-defyin, Man
destroyln, tyranikle edix Nv our late lament
ed President, or air barskin in the free air
NV Italy or Kanady. We hev no way Nv
keepin our voters together. Opposin the
war won do no good fer before the next e.
lekshun the heft of our voters will hev dis
kIvered that the war is over. The fcer Nv
drafts may do suthin In sum parts Nv Penn
sylvany and Suthern Ilinoy, fer sum time
yit, but that can t be dependid on.
But we hev wun resources fer Ishoo-
ther will alluz be Dimocrisy, so long ez
theirs Niger.
Their is a uncompromisin dislike to the
Niger in the mind Nv ginooine Dimmo-
crat. The Spanish bull-fghter, when he
wants to infiame the bull to extra cavortin,
Sire Dimocrat to froth at the mouth 700
will find that black face will answer the
purpus. Ther4 the niger is, to-day, our
best and only holt. Let US use him.
Fer the guidanse NV the faithful, Ishel
lay down a few plain roofs to be observed,
IN order to make the most Nv the cappytle
we hev:
l. Alluz assert that the niger will never
be able TO talk care NV hisself, but will alluz
be public burden. He may, possibly, give
us the lie by going to work. In sich e.
mergency the duty Nv every Dimocrat is
plain. He must not be allowed to work
Associashens must be orgenized, plegded to
neether give him employment, to work with
hIt 70 rhnx
work, or patronlZe emmy one who duz. I
wood seiest that sich Nv ez hez bin forchoo-
nit enuff git credit, pay tritie on account
SO ez TO make our patronage worth suthin.
This course rigidy and persstenly follerd,
wood drive the best Nv them to steelin, and
the balence. to the poor-houses pre- ven what
we hev alluz claimed, that they are a idle
and vishus race Think, my brethren, wat
a inspirin effeck our poor-houses end jails
full Nv niggers wood hev on the people! My
tgss Apands eZ ! contemplate the delightful
vision.
. Likewise assert that the nigger will
cum north, and take all the good places,
THROWN all our skid mekaniks out NV work
by underbidden NV EN-. This mite be open
to 2 obgechuns, to wit: : 1t. crosses slitely
Rool the l, and men mite say, eff theirs jist
enuff labor fer watts here, why not perhib-
bit furriners frum cumin? | anser Its the
biznis Nv the voter to reconsile the contra
may bleeve eether or both. !
Ez to the sekund obgecshun, where is the
Dimocrat who coodent be underbid and stan
1t even to starvation, eff the underbidden
wuz dun by man Nv the proud kaukashen
race? And whsr is the Dimokrat so lost |
to manhood eZ not to drink blud, eff the |
same underbidden is done by niger? The |
starvin fer work aint the question-its the /
color NV the cause Nv the starvashcn that !
makes the diffrens
Niger equality may be workt agin 2 ad- |
All men, without distinckshun Nv |
seeks, air fond Nv flatrin themselves that |
s lower down in the skale Nv hui
manity than they is. Eff twant fer niggers
what wood the Dmocrisy do fer sumboddy |
wun stie NV wimmen on our side. In times
gone by I've notist gushin virgins NV As,
full 6 hands high and tuff ez wire, holdin
aloft banners onto wich wuz inscribed, Save
US from Niger Equality. Yoo see it
soothed EN- = hev chanse Nv adver,isin 1st,
That they wuz frale, helplis critters, and I'd,
That anshent and tuff ez they wuz, sum wun
yuz still goin fer EN-.
Eff ther amt no niggers Sentral Commit
lis must furnish EN-. A half dozen will do
er ordinary county, eff theyr hustled along
With energy. Eff they won't steel, the Sem
rel Commits must do it themselves Show
year niggers in township in the morning.
In the same mite rob the c.othes lines and
len roosts. Ever willin sacrifice myself
er the cause, | volunteer do this latter
looty in six populus counts.
These iees, eff follerd WILL no doubt, keep
is together until our enemies split, when we
viii reap the reward Nv our constancy and
idelity May the Lord hasten the day.
