North Branch democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Pa.) 1854-1867, 1866-06-27

Brownlow to abuse 'em, to use language
on 'em like he did few years ago when he
spoke against Pyne. If they do hire
Brownlow he'll spatter 'em, he'll daub 'em
all over, and slime 'em, slobber on 'em
about right, and it will stick, for the pores
are open and their morals spongy. Id like
to stand off about ten rods and hear him
spread himself, 1t would be worse than
squirt gun full of cow slop, and | have no
oubt would give general satisfaction"
"Thats sufficient, sir" says old Bout
wel. "Ef it was in their power to do so,
oLd your people renew the fight %
"Not unless they could fight the fanat-
les all alone, and all the world agree to
'hansd off, Even then there wouldn't be
no fight, for we couldn't cotch you"
: What do your people say upon the
subject of negro equality" -.a
They say it is lie, sir-it don't exist
by nature and never can in practic. Folks
were not created free and equal. That
may be theoretical truth but its always
been practical lie There's men | give
the sidewalk to, and there's men that have
| give it to me. There's men that | vote
for and men that vote for me, and the
grades 90 up, up, up, step by step, from
my sort to Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Stephens,
and General Lee and Howell Cobb and
Ben Hill, and their sort !; for they are the
highest in the nation and then again it
goes from me down, down, to the niggers
and the Republicans and the fanatics, and
Il ats as low as they Iun. There amt NJ
equality, and yon can't make one. We'Il
vote the niggers certain. I'll vote Tip and
Tips 'head-centre,' Well vote about
forty, and the first thing you know we'll
elect seven big, black, greasy niggers to
Congress. Wei do it certain-seven of
'em, is carats strong, with African musk.
The other Southern States will
do the SANE thing, and you'll
have about fifty of EN- to draw seats with,
and you can all stick your legs upon your
desks together, and swap lice and vermiD,
and be shampooned at the same shop, and
the fair sexes can set together in the gale
ries and mix odonrs, and fan their scent
around pronriscuous. Wen give the full
benefit of your Civil Pights bill, sec five
don't. You 60 on-play your cards.
We are bidin' our time. We are paying
your taxes and your duties and back ra-
tons for 1864, and licenses, and your in
fernaI revenue, aud obeyin' your laws with
out havin' any hand IN maxim 'em, and we
are cut off from pensions, and public lands;
and you sold poor mans S still in my coun-
try the other day because he couldn't pay
tax on some peach brandy he stiiled for
his neighbor two years ago. and soon
you'll be sellin' the land for the land tax
and you're tryin' your best to play the
devil generally, but you'll catch it in long
run. See if YOU don't Talk about Fe-
mans. When the good men of the North
and South all get together, they'll walk
over the track so fast that you won't have
time to..get out of the way. Ioull'subslde
into obscurty. and:your children will deny
that their daddies ever belonged to such a
party. Excuse me, gentlem, but I'm
little excited. Five cents pound on cot
ton will excite anybody that makes it
| FAX on industry-on sweat and toll. Pro-
lection tariffs for Pennsylvania and five
cents a ponnd tax on Southern cotton
half it's average worth-and your folks
will manage some way or other to steal
the other half. Ny advice to you
| is to quit your foolishness and
| to begin to travel the only broad road to
peace"
Old Blow couldn't keep up with his
| garbled extracts.
"What makes the President so popular
at the South T.
Contrast, sir-contrast. The more he
amt like your party, the more popular he
| is. He would treat rs about right, reck-
on. if YOU would let him alone, but you
| bedevil him so, that sometimes he don't
understand himself | don't think he
knew for while whether his Peace Proc
| lamation restored the writ of habeas cor
pus OF not But do YOU 90 and impeach
him, and that will bring matters to TO
GUS III bet you'd be in Fort Delaware
in a week, and the Southern members be
here in their seats, and they'll look round
at the political wreck and ruin and plum
der and stealage that's been going on, and
they might exclaim in the language of the
poet, ..
Who's pin here since rsh pin gone
"Mr Arp, suppose we should have a
war with England or France, what would
the rebels do?' ....
They'd follow Gen. Lee, and Gen.
Johnson, and Longstreet, and old Bory.
Nv opinion is, that Gen. Lee would have
the Union army, and Gen. Grant would be
his chief # staff, and Gen. Buell. would
rank mighty high, and" |
What would YOU do with General Sher-
man? -......
"Sorry you mentioned him, We'd have
to hire him, reckon, as a camp fiddler,
and have him sing 5 Hail Columbia by fire
light, as a warning to the boys how mean
it is to burn cities and make war upon de-
feaceless women and children. No, sir.
our boys wouldn't fight under no SUCH"
