Is Audroo Johnson all my fancy pant
ed him, or is he still heayen-deLyln
nerse<ooter NV the Democratic SalntsE
That's wat L and some thousands Nv
waitin souls wood go suthln handsotue
to know. c...,, ;,
Pro-sIavery Democracy sticks to a
man ez does the odor NV the gentle
skunk to clothes, and 1t Is got rlu NV
only by the same means, to-wlt, purry-
in the victim thereof. -,
Audroo started out to be II Moses ana
he is one, but think he's changed his
Tsr1eIites: / onst saw woman skinin
live eeIs, and reproached her, saying !:
s'Woman, why skinnest thou the eels
alive. Doth it not pain 'em z"
"Nary !" retorted she. 1--WE skinned
'em this way for goin on to 20 years, ana
they'r used to it,"
Even so. the negroes hev pm IN DON
dape so long that they'r used to 1t, ana
Androo feeling u call to continue in the
Moses bizness, hez, 1 hope, turned his
attention to The DimoCrisy. It's us he's
a goin to lead up out NV the Egypt
wretchedness we've bin in for nearly
five years-it's us that's agoin to quit
brick maxim without straw, and go up
into the Canaan which is runnin with
milk and honey NV public patronage.
We shell hev sum fites-Amakelish
post masters and Philistine collectors to
displace, but with Il second JaXon at
our he'd, what can we fear?
/ feel to night like a young colt. To
me it seems ez though my venerable
locks, which hangs scantily about my
temples, he'd grown black agin, and
that nv youth was returnin. Eff he'd
any notion NV sooiside them idea is DIS
mist. I'm young agin. What hez
worked this change ?yOu ask. It's the
proclamation declarin the war at an
end, and withdrawn from the Dino
CRITIC States the odious hirelins NV the
tyrant Linkin, and the doing away NV
that terrible marshal law. That watts
done it for me. Now feel like sayin
with one NV old, 'NIine eyes hev seed
thy glory-let thy servant depart in
peace"
we hev bin dooly subioogated some
time and n wnitin for this. We wanted
it, and longed tor 1t ez the mart Goes ior
the water course, and considerably
IGore onless the hart wuz thirsty in the
extreme. For now we are in the yoon-
yIin apin-We are under the Shadder NV
That glorious old flag wich protects all
men ceptin niggers and abllshlnlsts.
The nigger is left to be adjusted by us,
who is TO be governed by the laws wich
control labor and capital. Certainly he
is-uv coarse. / saw two NV my neigh
bors adiustin one, last mite. They wuz
doin it with a paddle which wuZ bored
full nv holes. He didn't seem to enjoy
it ez much ez they did. By that proc
lamation our states are agin underthelr
own control. Let um go at wuhst 70
work to destroy all the vestiges NV the
crooel war through which they have
past. There aint no solgers now to in
terfere, for the policy nv Keeping SOL
gers in and among free peoples abhor-
rent to freedom and humanity, 60 TO

and Peace cannot dwell among US on
less there's oneness of purpose and
sentiment. To prokoor this is yoor
fust dooty. If there be among yoo
them ez opposed 700 during yoor late
struggle for Rites, hist then. Iheir
presence Is irritntin and kin not De toll
ernted. Ablishunism is as abhorrent
now As ever, and the sooner you are rid
of it the better. 1t is safe TO assume that
every man who opposed the lately de-
ceased Confederacy is "A Ablishunist.
The next step and the most important
is to tear down the niger school houses
and churches wich hev bin built here
and there, and kindly take the niger
Inv the ear and lead him back to his

sition. The Yankee school teachers
sent here by Freedmen's Aid Societies,
should properly be hung for spreading
dissatisfaction and spelling, BOOKS

we'll. and will go to show the world

protest agin any violation NV good
iaith. but labor must be done, for the
skripter commands it, and our trall ma
cher demands wat can't be got without
it. We don't like to do 1t, but shall
sISripter be yiolnted? Not at all. The
