Ksspekta6ae People: ddressyou on this
okgashun with a profound admiration for
Tho great-eonsideratien and the nice. dls-
crixninafion which caused you to honor
! me alzysyour votes with q seat in the SIN, SIN,
4sstn Of Georgy. For two momentas and
iinspirin weeks, the Legislature hay been
in so1em session, one Of whom ! am
,SSrssud Sto be which, Forsse7eral days we
we're engaged as skouts, maxim sorter
rSlaonysaaees tossee whether Geergy were
: a5s;sate sor a IDiun Terrytory%whether
we. were in. the old Union or out OF it-
whether me,and my foxes, and you and
yuslrs sffokes, ,ewere somebody OF nobody;
anl,lastly,l thongh- by no meaps leassly'
whether our poor inn ocsnt. children, porn
dusin the war, were all Illegal and had TO
be born over agin or not. This last PM
ara much unsettled, but our women are
advised to be kahn and screen.
Ny friends, our aim hav honestly been
to GIT you all back into the folds OF the
soloSrvous old Union. Like the prodygal
Ion Ron. we hsd nuthin to live on, and feelin
lonesome and hungry, hay been, bowln
and scrapinsnd n9akin apologys Tor hge y!
or six months. We hav been stanoin
afarseR for weeks and weeks, but durn
tho cafs do they kill for us. They know
we've got nethin, for they eat up our SUD
stance, and as for putin rings on our. nm
gers, ne couldent expekt it until they
bring back the jewe4ry they carryed
away. cannot say, in the langwidgo
of The poet, that ollr labor hay been q Ia
Dor of love, for we've had monstrous poor
encouragement, to be shore; but we had
alISset our heads towards the stars and
stripes, and 4we Intly determined that
come wool come wo, sink or. swim, sur
yivo or perish, thunder OF itein, we'd
slim back, or sneak back, or git. back
somehow or somehow else, or we'd stay
ont forever and ever amen and be hanged

Up to this time 1T hay been an up hill
bisiness. The team was a good one, and
ths GEAR all sound and the wagin creased,
Init thesroad are perhaps the rutfest, rot
tenest corduroy in the world. It's pull
uEs and skotch, and pull up and skoteh,
sid eyer and anony mus the slzotch slips
ort md the tung cuts round aud away
we 60 inte tho egully- Andy Jonsinis the
driver, and he says HGo slow" and he
hollers 4FYo.l wop and loses the road,
and then we have to GO back to the fork
and wait 6iN ho blazes the way. He
seems to be iein his best, but then thar
is Summer and Satan and Stevens and
Davis and other like gentlemen, who
keep hollerip at him and erackin his
n bfD, and confusin his idees, so that some-
times we don't know whether he's gee-in
or hawsiin Ny friends, about them fel-
lers, z DON'T know what ort to say. II
yeu do o.. if anybody else does, wish
they would say it. Isdon't encourage
cnssin in nobody, not at all, but if you
kneW Of s man that can't be broke OF 1T
,dylrin liis7nateraI life, it mout be we'll to
hire him by the year. If sthar is in all
hisEorx q geod exkuse, and a proper SUBJ
jek, It is upon them hairless, sonllesss,
boweRess, gizzardless, fratrisidel, parasi-
dal, sistorsidel, !, abominabul, contemptibul,

Charity inclines me to the opinyun that
old Sumner are crazy. / think he has
been gIttin worse ever since he took
Brooks on Che brain, and it do seem like
the disease have proved contagus If
::thev be for Peace, it must be the Peace
that passeth all understandin, for we can't
;fathoiI, II in these regions. They fout us
I'd free tke poor niger but dident keer
for the Union. The Western boys fout
MS for the Union but dident keer for the
niger. By double teamin oa us they
licked us and we gin it up, but now the
one don't want our niggers and the other
don't want our Union, and its the hard
est skeduIe to pleas EN- both that 8. poor
vanished peopul ever undertook. Its the
most hardest war to wind up that history
rekords. Sumner, Satin and Company
are still y fussin and fuming about the
severlastin nigger--want him to vote and
make laws, and squat on jewry, and
want to perhibit US, the rebels, from dom
the same thing for 80 years to cum Je-
rnsalen where is the cussin MANI They
,say.its all right for o niger not to vote,
IN Connections, bekaus there aint but a
few OF em thar; and its all wrong for EN-
not to vote in Georgy bekaus there's a
heap Of EN- here, and they talk Logik
and Retorik amazin to prove how it 49,.
Well haint gotta whole passel of sense
like sum, but as shore as: Pm two foot
high, Niger is q niger, / don't keer
whar you smell him, and . vote is a vote
I don't keer whar you drap it. l .golly !!
they can't gitoye that.
The truth is, my teller-citizens, [ somc-
