say its albright for nigger not to vote in

The truth is, my fellow. citizens, I some.
times feel like we didn't have no govern
meut. I felt that way sorter when Mr..
Gibson appointed me committee on the
State Of the Republic. When the Secre-
tary read out my name all mixed up with
the republic. I felt that was obliged to
resine. Risiu majestically to my feet says
I "Mr. Precedent" beg to be respectfully
excused sur, ef you please. If there is a
republik on this side Jordin I cant per<eve
it at this time with his speks. There was
a place in ole Virginny called Port Re-
publ'k, but Mr.. Rebel General Stonewall
Jackson wiped out its contents generally
IN 1868, and I haven't since heard of it IN
Northern Literature. T have heard of
scrub concern over about Washington they
call republik, but sur, it ar likely to prove
the grandest imposture that ever existed on
Il continent Of freedom.

that ne wouldn't impose the republik on no

there's tap lost about this wagin. If we
are state we can borry money in Augusty.
If we amt state its none of our business
to borry it at all. If Andy wants to run
the machine his own way let him pay his
own expenses. What the dickens is Pro-

provisions and provide for "a fellow gener-

we had been humorin Andy about long
enuf, we had as much right to Governor
as Alabama or South Carolina. He wants
us back about as bad as We want to git
back, and little Bladder perhaps, and he
needn't put on so many unnecessary airs
about the Senator bisiness. ..
