Witness-They ondeniably did.
By Myself-The Court desires to know
what partikeler fooid they absorbed.
Witness--Can't say-spose twas Bas-

the Court very well knows.
By Myself-The Sexton will go at once
to Bascom's and procoor the identicle bot
tie from which this wretched man, who
stands charged with thus lowerin hisself,
drunk, and bring it hither The Court de-
sires to know for herself whether it wuz
really whisky. The pint is an important
one for the Court to know
A wicked boy remarked that the pint
wood be better understand by the Court if
it wuz a quart The bottle wuz however,
brought and the Court, wich is me, wuz
satisfied that it wuz really and trooly whis

make clean breast Nv it confess his sin
and humbly receive sich punishment ez

ternally and yet severely.
Bro. Pogram to my unspeakable rslief,
for he is the wealthiest member Of the con-

piled
"That he DID drink with the niger, and
wat wuz more, he wuz justified in doin it,

Bro. Pogram is not only justifable, but is
commendable and worthy of imitashun.-

not DO by force we must do by financeerin.
We can't any longer compel the nigger to
furnish us the means and therefore III or
der to fulfill the skripter, we are justified
in accomplishing By our sooperior skill wat
we used to do with whips and dorgs. There
wuz no confession NV equality-no degre-
dashun, but contrarywise the spectacle of
Bro. Pogram's marching into Bascom's with
that niger, wuz a sublime spectacle, and
one well calculated to cheer the heart Nv
the troo Dimekrat. He he'd vanquished
him in an encounter where skill wuz re-
quired, thus demonstratin the sooperiority

captive and made NV him a spoil.
"Wood, wood that we all he'd a nigger
