COSFEDERIT " ROADS,
(Which is in the Stait NV EentuckyO
November 26, 1866.
The papers NV the country are very
generally discussin the question: ''Shel
the Democratic party live or die" wich
when we take into consideration the
fact that the corpse is afore us, seems
to me holler mOckery, and henrtless
tritiin with the feclins NV the friends NV
the deceRst. Their Amt no yoose NV
talkin NV its fucher, coz its in its fucher
now, and tomb stun mite e2 well be
put up, regnrdlis NV expense, commem-
mOratin its virchoOs.
The Chicago Times and various other
papers are ndvOcNtin the lice NV 1lOppin
over to niger suffrage. l hev let my
Websterian intellek lite onto this sub
jek at various times, and the more /
hev considered it, the more 1 am salts
fed that it wont do. a nNber of mine
ed to me for n remedy. In Ia spirit NV
jockelarity told him that striknine
wood cure thnt, eZ well eZ all other
physiCle ills. The poor fellow not see
in it wuZ Il joke, took an ounce or two,
and need l state the result? He sleeps
in the valley. Niger suffrage, wich is
rank piZen, wood end the troubles NV
the Dimocrisy, but wooden't it end
Dimocriuy also? We mite die grace
fully eZ DEMOCRATS, but wood our resur-
reCtiou GZ AbolitiOnists be certain
WoOden't the people when we are
wunst entOmbed. forget to awaken us
My objections are these:
l. We can't gobble Ablishen votes with
nigger suffrage, for the reason that eft
the people desire it they'd probably go
to the inventors thereof, that they
might be ashoOred NV gettin the geno0-
inc article.
2. We can't get the niger after he is Il
man and brother. The Times idee is,
we'd ketOh 'em on the score that the
trash materially gravitates to us. We
are too late for this. The Niger jus now
is lOokin up-not down, and eff the tax
wuZ taken OFT NV whiskey, so ez to
bring that essenshel to Dimocratic sue
cess wunst more within our means, and
we ShOOd devote ourselves enthoOsiasti-
cally to the work, we woOden'C be able
to get 'em down to our level in twenty
years.
Afore that time shell hev gone into
that other world wher pollytiX wont
trouble me, and eff the orthodox relijus
beleetS NV the day is correct, i'll the de-
paTtment NV the tOther world i'll witch
shell pull up, there will be II strong
Democratic majority. Ez 1 lift up my
eyes from thence, it will do me no per-
| tikeler good, az l know NV, TO be told
that the DimOcrisy hev elected Their
President by Niger VoteS-thnt intelli-
gence wOodn't supply the place NV the
| water shoOd be calm for.
Its instant relief we need, and Of life
is ever pumped into the carcass Gfore
us, 1t must be done to wunSt. / hev an
lice for the salvation NV the party, witch,
Of acted on will give us II lease NV pow
er for years-MEXIco.
Here is suthin feasible. Letthe South
adopt the Constitooshnel Amendment
to-wnnst, Providin Congress will knock
out the third section witch DISTINGUISHES
the heft NV us who are fit for Congress,
and also repeel the test onth, and i'm
mejiuy let johnson annex Mexico.
How will it stand, then? We heV ten
States out, wich we kin depend upon.
kentucky, Delaware and MARYLAND
make thirteen, and Mexico kin be cut
up into twenty more, or thirty for that
matter, giVin us clean majority in the
SENT, House and Electoral College.
hev let my intellek out onto this sub
jeck and amt mistaken. In Mexico is
the precise populashen we kin best
work upon. "They can't understand
our speakers" seq one Objector. Very
good, admit it. and what do we want
Nv voters who kin understand usT The
downfall NV Democrisy commenst the
mint the people begun to understand
us. So long eE they took things on
trust, it wuE all right, but when they
! begun to question, the Jig wuz up. In
telligense is IA good thing in the alb
strack, but you must be modrit in its
yOoSe.
Enuf NV us wood hev to emigrate
thither, NV course, to be sent back 10
Washington. Seward and l, for in
stance, wood go to the SENT from Chi
ahuahua, Doolitle and DIR. Olds, NV
Ohio from San Juan, Henry Clay,
Dean and COwan from Tamaulipas
John Morrissey and Randall from Mat
amoras, Nallandigham and Slocum
from rehuantepec, Custer and Beecher
-uO they've gone back on us-Jim,
Steedman and Jesse D. Brite from Pu-
| ebla, ct setery.
There wood be room for every one NV
the leadin Democrats North in these
the SENT, and three hundred in the
House to be hlled, besides the State
| ohses. The hundreds nv thousands nv
Dimocrats now mournin for ofTisis, and
who can't be supplide, wood here find
