Then there is another thing I'm wait
in for Why don't they reconstruct th'
niggers if they are ever goin to e
They've give 'em powerful site Of free
dom, and develish little else. Here's th,
big freedman's buro, and the little buro
all over the country. aud the papers are
fnll of grand orders aud special orders
and paragrafs, but I'll bet possum thai
some of 'em steal my wood this winter oI
freeze to death. FreedmaH's buro freed
mans humbug, | say. Just when the
corn needed plowin the worst, the burC
rung the bell and tolled all the niger,
to town, and the farmers lost their crops
and now the freedman is gettin cold and
hungry, and wants to GO back, and there
amt nuthin for 'em to 90 to But free
dom is big thing. Hurraw for free
dOm's buro Sweet land of liberty, OF
thee don't sing But it is all right
Pm for freedom myself. Nobody wants
any more slavery. If the abolishunists
had LET us alone We would have fixed il
up right long time ago, and we can fix
it up now. The buro amt fixed it, and
it amt goin to. 1t don't know anything
about it. Our people have got heap
more feeln for tn, poor niger than any
abOlitionist. We are as poor as job, but
I'll bet dollar we can raise more money
in Rome to build niger church than
they did in Bostown. The papers say
that after goin round for three weeks,
the Bostowm christians raised thirty
seven dollars to build a niger church in
Savannah. They are powerful on theory
but devilish in practice.
But it's ne use talkin. Everybody will
know by watin who's been fooled Mr.
Johnson says he's gwine to experiment,
that's all he can do now-itsa all anybody
can do. Mr. .Johnson's heads level. Pm
for him, and everybody ought to be fOl
him-Only he's powerful slow about some
things | amt worshippin him. He
never made me. | hear folks holleriu
hurraw for Andy Johnson, and the pa
pers say, oh he's for us, he's all right
he's our friend Well spose he is, hadn't
he ought to be q? Did yoniexpekt him to
be dog, or black republican pup? Be
kause he amt hangin us, is it necessa-
ry to be playin hipocrit around the foot
stool of power, and maxim out like he
was the greatest man in the world, and
we was the greatest sinners? Who's
sorry? Who's repcntinf Who amt
proud of our peoplel Who loves our en-
emies2 Nobody but burned sneak.
say let 'em hang and be hanged to EN-
before I'd beg 'em for grace. Whar's
Sockrates, whar's Cato? But if Andy
holds his own, the countrys safe, pro
vided these general assemblys and sinOds
and Bishops conventions will keep the
devil and Brownlow tied. Here's pas
sci of stink hearted fellers who played
tory Jest to dodge bullits or save proper
ty, now a howlin about for offis-want
everything bekause they was for the
Union. They was fer themselves,
that's all they was Tor, and they amt n
go;n to git the offises neither Mr.. John
son amt got no more respeck for 'em
than / have. We want to trade 'em off.
By bOky, we'll give two of 'em for one
copperhcad, and AK nothin to boot Let
'em shinny on their own side, and git
over among the folks who don't want
us RECONSTRUCTED. There's them newspa-
per scriblers who slid down to the edge
of Dixey every "a hours, and peep over
putin and blowin'with strait coat tail,
aud holler out, "He amt dead-he amt
deadlock out everybody. I'm jest from
thar-seen his toe move-heard him
grant he's goin to rise agin. Don't
withdraw the sOljers, but send down
more troops immegeately." And here's
your Harper's Weekly, head in all sich
"a gassin lies and ISLANDERS in every is
sue--makin insultin pikters in every
sheet--breedn everlastin discord, and
chawin bigger than ever since we got
licked. Wish old StOnewal had cotch
these Harpers at their ferry, and we
boys had knOwd they was goin to keep
up this devilment so long. We'd made
baptists of them sertin, payroll or no
payroll. Hurraw for brave soldier, /
