April 9, 1866.
l am a kittle full of cusses.
Under me is burning the fire Nv rage
witch is bein continyooly fed with the oil
nv disappointment,
"a And / bile over. lcl1 81. ELi.tl
The Civis Rites Bill witch our Moses
put his foot ont, we thought WIZ dead.
And we fired CRATE guns, and hung out
our flags, witch we laid aside in 1860, and
made a joyful noise.
3 For we said N unto another, loi he is
q true Moses, inssmuch ez he is a leadin
US out of the wilderness.
The Civil Rites Bill wuz the serpent
wat bit US, and he histed it, that we
might look and live. c. e
Now let us be joyful
For the Ethiopian is delivered into our
hands, bound hand and foot.
We will make him grind our corn, but
he shell not eat thereof.
We will make him tread out our wheat,
but We viii muzzle his mouth.
He shei pick our cotton. but the hire
he receiveth he shall stick in his eye
without iDjuring the sight thereof.
He shall toll in the sugar mill, but the
sugar shall he not sell.
His sweat shall nourish our corn, but
he shall eat nary ear thereof.
n We will burn his skool houses and de-
stroy his spellin books flor shall the mig
ger be our superior? and who shall stay
our hand?
The skool teachers we will tar and
feather, and whar is the blu koted hire
Inns to make US sfeard {?
We looked at the niger and said, hal
hal the last state of that chattle is wuss
nor the fust, for before we he'd his labor
vile he wuz strong and helthy, but had
to take care on him when he Wuz sick and
old, and o we kin git the labor with
out the care.
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.
But song nv joy wuz turned into a
vale Nv anguish.
Moses sought to hist the serpent, but
the serpent histed him.
Hes on a pole and the bitin North
wind is BLOWN onto him.
He can't get up any higher because his
pole amt 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 Rites Bill they
passed in an oncival manner
Now, bein the niger hez rights, he is
our ekal.
Our ekal is the niger now, and onless
the skool houses is burned and the SPELL
IN books destroyed he will o be our
superior.
We Wuz willin to give him the right of
bein sued, but alas he kin sue.
he kin be witness against US, and he
kin set his face again ours.
Our wise men may make laws to keep
him in his normal speer, but Nv wat avail
is they.
We kin buy and sell him no more, nei-
ther he nor his children.
The men will cleave unto their wives
and the wives unto their husbands, and
u hand is powerlis to separate I'm.
Their children kin we no more put up
at auction and sell to the highest bid
der, we pocketin joyfully the pricethereof.
They have become sassy and impudent,
and say, go to, are not men :"
L babe one get OFF the side walk, and8
he babe me be damned.
l chucked n nearly wife under the
chin and smiled onto her and she
seuawked, and her husband herin the
squawk thereof, came up and busted nv
head, even as a white man would have
done.
l chsstised u who gave me lip. and
he o me, a Caucasian, for assault and
battery and got a judgment.
Maiei for Moses put out his hand to
a us from these indignities, but his
hand wuz too weak.
We killed Linkin in vain.
Our Moses is playin Jaxon. He fanci-
eth he resembleth him becoz his inishals
is the same. a
He resembleth Jaxon muehlyEin thst
Jaxon he'd a policy Wich he Good carry
out, and Moses hez a policy wich he can't
carry out.
And ez he can't carry out his policy,
the people are carryinit out 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 the other.
He darsn't let 60 of Ablishnism, and is
afeard to come TO us.
He hez bin takin EPSON salts and ipe-
snd D is workin up and the other
Is workin down.
Where kin we look for comfort?
Do we turn TO the people2 Connect
cut answers, Ror for HsWley," and Moo
Hampshier goes Ablishun.
Do we turn to the courts? Lot Tapey
hez gone to his reward; him who afore-
time dealt q Dimekratie Justice. and
who understood the nacher of the
niger, and Chase, who is pizen. reigns in
Els stead.
Raymond is grown weak in the knees,
and Doolittle is a broken reed on which
TO lean.
We are too short at both ends.
Shell we 60 to Brazil-lo there they
put niggers IN offs.
Mexico holds out her hands to us, but.
loi there the niger is considered a man.
We have no escape from the Ethiopian,
he is around US and about us and on top
OF Us.
1 see no Post Orfs in the distance-no
hope in the fUcher, :
He'd bin an Ablishunist SC as to make
thing safe in the next world. 1 shood be
glad to die and quit this.
For my sole is pregnant with grief, my
heart bugs out with woe.
