am kittle full NV cusses.
Under me is burning the fire of rage witch is
bein fed contmyooly with the oil Nv disap-
pointment.
And bile over
The Civil Rites Bill witch our Moses put his
foot onto, we thought was dead.
And we nred great guns, and hung out our
hags, wien we laid aside in 1860, and made a
joyful noise.
For we said one unto another. 10! he is a
true Moses, nasmuch ez he is a leading us
out Nv the wilderness.
Ihe Clvll Rites Bill wuz the serpent wat
bit us, and we 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 tread out our wheat, but
we will muzzle his mouth. a
Blessed be Mosesi ~
He shall pick out cotton, but the hire he re-
ceiveth ne shall stick in his eve without iniur-
ing the sight thereof
| Blessed be Moses!
He shall toll in the sugar mill, but the sugar
shall he not sell.
| Blessed be Moses!
His sweat shall nourish our corn, but he
shall eat nary ear thereof
Blessed be Moses!
We will burn his skool houses and destroy
his spellln books (for shall the niger be our
superior?) and who shall stay our hand?
Blessed be Moses!
The skool teachers will we tar and feather,
| and whar is the bloc koted hirelips to make
| us afraid?
| Blessed be Moses!
We looked at the nigger and said, ha! ha
the last state Nv that chattle is wuss nor the
fust, for before, we had his labor while he wuz
strong and healthy, but had to take care on
him when he wuz sick and old, and now we
kin git his labor without the care.
Blessed be Moses!
| The Ablishnists cast out one devil, and gar
nished the rooms, but there wos seven devils
more stronger and hungrier witch rushed in
and pre-empted the premises.
| Blessed be Moses!
Bnt our song Nv joy wuz turned into vale
Nv anguish.
Moses sought to hist the serpent, but the
| serpent histed him.
He's on pole, and the bitin North wind is
BLOWN onto him.
| He can't get up any higher because his pole
/
cause he amt no place to light onto.
He vetoed the Bills and Congress hez vetoed
him-the Civil Rites Bill they passed in an un-
| civil manner.
Now, bein the niger hez rites, he is our
ekal. -
Our ekal is the niger now, and onless the
skool houses is burned and the spellin books
destroyed he will soon be our superior.
We wuz willing to give him the right of be-
ing sued, but alas he kin sue
He kin be witness agin us, and he kin set
| his face agin ourn. 4 ca
Our wise men may make laws to keep him
in his normal speer, but NV wat avail is they t?
We kin buy and sell him no more, neither
he nor his children.
The men will cleave unto their wives and
their wives unto their husbands, and our hand
is powerlis to separate them.
Their children kin we no more put up at
auction and sell, to the highest bidder, pocket
| in jOyfully the price thereof.
They hev become sassy and impudent, and
say, GO. to, are we not men?"
bid one git OFF the side walk and he babe
me be damned.
L chucked nearly white one under the
chin and smiled onto her, and she squawked,
and her husband hearin the squawk thereof
came up and bustid my he'd, even ez q white
man wood hev done. $50, -
| NhootloCu Wun WHO gave me lid. and he
sood me, Caucasian, for assault and battery
and got judgment.
| Wale! tor 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 fancieth he
resembleth him becoz his inishuls is the same
He resembleth Jaxon muchly-in that Jax,
on mad policy which he Good carry out, and
Moses hez policy witch he can't carry out.
And ez he can't carry out his policy. the
people are caryin it 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 tother.
He darsn't let go Nv ablishnism, and is
afeerd to come to us. ~ ;...f 1881 ta IL
He hez bin takin EPSON salts and ipecac
and one is workin up and the other is worlini
down.
Where kin we look for? 'y7o"3ei3
Do we turn to the people? Connecticut an
swers "Ror for Hawley," and Moo Hampshier
goes ablishun. sf se7
| Do we turn to tho courts? Lo! Taney hez
gone to his reward, him who aforetime dealt
OUT dimekratic justice and who understood
the nachor Nv the niger, and Chase, who r.
pizen, reigns in bis stead.
Raymond is CROWN weak in the knees, and
Doolttle is a broken weed on witch to lean.
We are too short at both ends. :
Shell we go to Brazil-lo! there they put Mig
gers in office.
Mexico holes out her hands to us, but 10
there the niger is considered man.
| We hev no escape from the Ethiopian, he is
around us and about us, and on top of us.
| / see no post-orfs in the distance-no hope
| in the future.
Had I bin ablishnist, so ez to make the
thing rite in the next world, I should be glad
to die and quit this
For my sole is pregnant with grief my hart
bungs out with woe. II
