the Freedmen's Burow here) read to the

Resolved, That we, the Dimocracv nv
Contedrit x Roads, witch is in the State

for his manly vindication Nv the character
Nv Kentucky.
ReSOtped, That we know moi witch to
admire the most, the dashin GineraTs
courage IN bravin tho public sentiment
NV the North, or his prudence in '~selectin
the smallest, and, physically, weakest man
In the House TO demonstrate onto.
Resolved, That ez Thad Stevens is 20
years of age and lame, and hardly recov-
cred from his fit Nv sickness, we suggest
that our beloved hero commence a srgu-
ment with him, feelin that so far ez the
argument and blackgardin goes the result
will be the same, only SO much more so
ez to give him a good excuse for KILN
him, wich wood be doin the South a SER
vice indeed.
Resolved, That the Dimocrisy Nv Ken
lucky hevent felt so good sence the Mem
phis riots.
Resolved, That this manly act of Giner-
81 Rosso's makes up and compensates the
South for the outrage be inflicted onto
her when he jined the vsndal hest wich
devastated her soil, and tibet hereafter he
shall be received with just the same cor
duality ez tho he had gone into the Con-
fedrit instid Nv the Federal service.
Resotved That the thanks NV the Dim.
ocrisy is due the bold, brave men who &C
.companied and stood by GineraI Rosso
in this vindieation Nv the Southern
spirit.

here, it bein the rool, when the leaders
want a thing TO pass, never to call for the
nays, and 1t went through all right. Then

tion, witch l wished to offer, and l read Il;
"ReSotDed, That in r~etainin in the Post
