The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1865-12-05

there's fee for printing of each of the Liebils and
a fee for making out the accounts. Eff you appear
in court there's fee for that, and eff you don't ap-
pear there's fee for that. And we don't permit
youralls Lawyers to appear IN onralls courts so
you must employ ouralls Lawyers, and there's
/ ewingn fees for that That's the way to make the
mashsheen pay. We don't cut up the goose so
forth, but W. jes pile up the eggs and keep the
goose layn Its so cute, its almost equal to boss
| trade, and you know, Mr. Arp, something abeout
| them sort of trades deown in Georgia.
And now, Mr. Arp, I'll endeever, to the best
of nv ability, to answer your pertickler remarks
abeout the gentlemen and ladies formerly from
the arid shores Of Africa, against whose pecu-
| liar smell you seem to have an uncommon an
tipathy, notwithstanding you've ben Twin with
them all your days can't say I'm as fermiliar
with that keind of odor as | am with that of
some other animils in our menageries, especially
some of the Feline species, which in some cases
air so strong as to-turn the stomachs of pointers
and settlers when they mistake EN- for rabbits
! And l am not little surprized that you should
apply to me on SIGH subjects, instead of seekin
I the most koorect information from members Of
the Church, who have taken all SIGH matters,
BY the grace of God, under the- peculiar minis
tration. Why dew you not apply to brother
Parker, and brother Phillips, and sister Stowe,
and sister Anna Dickinson, who is we'll acquain-
ted with the hull knowledge of amalgamation,
shades Of color, according TO various crosses.
You, who seem so fermiliar with the Sans of
David, and bring to your aid the divine excla
| nation of "Selah" on all proper occasions, hadn't
orter address me under SIGH like circumstances.
Leike, they tell me, produces leike, and its so
10 gnral, as far as notice, in anmils, onless 1t
| air donkeys, but even in SIGH cases you cant
alters account for color; for l. myself, have seen
a sheep, when the ram and the yew air both Oh
EN- white, have as black lamb as the ace of
spades. But dew incline to think that the
cross of your black buck woolly heads, after
frequent repetition, on sum of our railey blue
eyed, white sistren in the Land, mout, 10 the
eend, bring abeout sort of dark, Spanish brown
white; but they dew tell me that, some how or
other, in the course of time some of the gene
rations will have woolly heads agin. But as l
was sayin of, I'm not fermiGar with SIGH biz
ness and only give my opinion with considerable
diferdence. Brother Wendell ken tell you
what sort of perfume is best adapted to over
come uncommon odors; and sister Harriet, dew
suppose, keeps all sorts of smelling bottles in
her buro including of musk, and SIGH leike, for
her handkerehefs. AS for making Freedmen
work, that air contradiction in terms. Eff
wants to work, works; and eff don't warnt to,
DON'T and who makes me? And eff you warnts
to lay deown on your back, you jes lays deown
as long as you durn please, and if you starves,
that's your bizness. Well, let the Freedmen
les dew SO too.> There will be a good trade in
kofins, and the lumber bizness will look cup.
But | know you air goin tew say they amt got
no, houses to live in, and they has got emmy num-
Der of wives and children, and sum on EN- which
other foaks mout Jay claim to, because strange
rams dew get into Their focks, and they amt got
nawthing to put On Their wives and chidren's
backs, or inter Their bellies, and they air con-
tipuelly a creeping around and 6xin cup run
min nooses to bent saplins, to catch all youalls
hogs, and knockin all of youalls turkeys in the
he'd, and wont let nary hen lay array egg in
emmy body's nesses sept Their own, and air alters
gettin INTO the Devils skin, and playin the
devil 10 genral and in pertickler. Meow, Mr.
Arp, I'll jes give you another piece of advice.
Has you not perceived that eff you all deown
South say emmy thing abeout the niggers, it
sorter rifles our foaks cup North. faint for the
luz of the niger, but its a weakness of ourn.
Eff you say they shant vote, then our foaks
raises heaven and yearth to make EN- vote
Meow hadn't you all better shet cup, and give
Brother Wendell and Sister Anna Their way, and
let em get sick and tired of the hull bizness.
You've tuck the OATH that the settin of the
brethren from Africa free was right, and you've
swared that you amt a gwine to Interfere with
no proclamatons, whether constitutional not
constitutional. Then eff freedom consists in noosin
of hogs and eatn of eggs, it air bound to stand,
but as peowder is scace no deoubt, deown South,
es set somebody to invent a gun, and try it jes
TO whether the invention might be patented or
not. But must remind you, eff you keeps on a
making of fuss abeout this here bizness you amt
got meow nary place TO make big guns in Virgin
ny, and Stonewall air ded, and Lees gone to teach
ing the young idee to shoot air guns, guess, and
them air Johnstons is pullin of the Express wag-
gins and the hull generation is used up, and EQUALS
and weaIlS people makes
all the ropes; and to be quotin Shakespeare, I
mout well be addin that wink is as good as q
nod to blind boss. And eff was as good at quotin
Scriptur as you air, should add at this here place,
"Selah;' but I'm afeerd you mout be offended.
There is request Mistur Arp that wish
could grant, but you there's sum things ken
dew and there's sum doesn't dare to dew, and as
fair as know; there amt menny foaks down here
would risk it. Give you powder indeed! Its no
use for your excuses about your wantin the powder
kill big yaller stump tail dog that's continually
prowlin around your premises at night and abeout
you shootiA squirrels crows, and black rakOons
& wild turkeys, Il mad dogs. Suppose l to
send you powder enough to shoot all them air ant
mills, anu suppose ali of the numerous famerly of
the Arps to make similar request, and sum on
EN- want Buck loads to shoot Painters or
Bars, there's telling what mout be the conse-
quence.- The temptation to take one more shoot at
of the little Wards, mout lead you inter diff
kilties, and Mr. Stanton lnout be throwd inter fits,
and unkil Sam mout have to call on the people of
the fartherenmost of the yearth to put stop
to that air shootin, and tell you Mr. Arp it costs
Mr. Welles durn sight of money to bring all them
air frreners in alls MENTORS particularly when
you alls Mafts and Semmes's air abeout, with them
air zoos and 24O's and may be, the next time, you
alls will invent suthing in the shape of gourds 90
fit OF the he'd, and float in the water, pull
ships under, all unbeknowin tew US, jes the
Chinese ketch Their ducks. You must excuse me for
refusin the POWDER all ken dew is to send ticket
to our show. as requested which you will find here
in No more at present, but remane yours, untell
