our flags, witch we laid aside in 1860, and
made ajoyful noise.
For we said n unto another, 10! he is
a true Moses inasmuch ez he is a leadin
US out nv the wilderness.
The Civil Rites Bill wuz the serpent
wat bit US, and he histed it, that we might
look and live.
Now let US be joyful
For the Ethiopian Is delivered into our
hands, bound hand and foot.
Blessed be Moses!
We will make him grind our corn but
ne shel not eat thereof.
Blessed be Mosesl
We will make him tread out u wheat,
but we will muzzle his mouth.
Blessed be Moses
He shall pick our cotton, but the hire he
receiveth he shall stick in his eve with
out injuring the sight thereof.
Blessed be Mosesl
He shall toll in the sugar mill, but the
sugar shall he not sell.
Blessed be Mosesl
His sweat shall nourish our corn, but he
shell eat nary ear thereof.
Blessed be Mosesl
We will burn his skool houses and de-
stroy his spellin books, (for shell the mig
ger be our superior 2 and who shall stay
our handl
Blessed be Moses
The skool teacher will we tar and
feather, and where is the bloc koted hire
Inns to make US Altered?
Blessed be MosesI
We looked at the niger and said, hs
hal the last state Nv that chattle is wuss
nor the fust, for before we he'd his labor
vile he wuz strong and healthy but had
20 take care on him when he wuz sick and
old, and now we kin git his labor without
the care.
Blessed be Moses 1!
The Ablishnists cast out one devil, and
garnished the room, but there wuz seven
devils more stronger and hungrier witch
rushed in and ~pre-empted the premises.
Blessed be Mosesl
But our song Nv JOY wuz turned into a
vale Nv anguish.
Moses sought to hist the serpent, but
the serpent histed him.
He's on a pole and the bitin' North
wind is a BLOWN onto him.
He can't get up any higher because his
pole Gin't any longer, and he can't get
down because he amt no place to light
onto.
He vetoed the Bills and Congress hez
vetoed him-the Civil Rights Bill they
passed in a uncivil tanner.
Now, bein the niger hez rights, he is
our ekal.
Oar ekal is the niger now, and onless
the skool-houses is burned and the spellin
books destroyed he will soon be cur SUI
perior.
We wuz willin to give him the right nv
bein sued, but alas he ker sue
He kin be a witness agin US, and he kin
set his face agin ouru.
Our wise men make laws to keep him
in his normal speer, but NV wat avail is
they.
We kin buy and sell him no more,
neither he nor his children.
The men will cleave into their wives
and the wives unto their husbands, and
our hand is powerlis to separate EN-.
Their children kin vi no more put up at
auction and sell to the highest bidder, we
pocketin joyfully the price thereof.
They hev become sassy and impudent,
and say, $50 to, are we not men,"
l babe one git orr the side walk, and he
Dade me De damned.
l chucked a nearly white one under the
chin and smiled onto her and she squawk-
ed, and her husband hearing the squawk
thereof, came up and busted my he4d,even
ez a white man would hev dun.
1 chastised wun who gave me lip, and
he sood me, a Caucasian, for assault and
battery and got a Judgment.
Vale for Moses put out his hand to
save US these indignities, but his hand
wuz too weak.
We killed Linkin in vain.
Our Moses is playin Jaxon. He fan
cieth he resembleth him becoz his inishals
is the same.
He resembleth Ja1on muchly-in that
Jaxon he'd a policy witch he Good carry out,
and Moses he hez a policy witch he can't
carry put
And ez he can't carry out his policy, the
people are carrying it nj for him.
WITCH they do a holdin it at arms length
and holdin their noses.
Moses is a cake half baked-he is hot on
one side and cold on tother.
He darsn't let go Nv Ablishnism, and is
afCerd to cum to us.
He hez bin takin EPSON salts and ipe-
cae, and one is working up and the other
is workin down.
Where kin we look for comfort2
De we turn to the people Connecti-
cut answers, "Ror for Hawley,' and Moo
Hampshier goes Ablishun.
Do we turn to the courts2 Lo Taney
hez gone to his reward, him who aforetime
dealt out Dimekratic justice, and who un-
derstood the nscher Nv the niger, and
Chase, who is pizen, reigns in his stead.
Raymond is grown weak in the knees,
and Doolittle is q broken reed on witch to
lean.
We are too short at both ends.
Shell We goto Brazil-lOl therethey put
niggers in Office.
Mexico holds out her hands to us, and
10! there the niger is considered a man.
We hev no escape from the Etheopion,
he is around US and about US and on top
Nv US.
l sea no Post Orfs in the distance-nc
hope in the future.
He'd l bin a Ablishunist so ez to make
the thing safe in the next world, 1 shood
be glad to die and quit this.
For my sole is pregnant with grief my
hart bungs out with woe.
