curiosity. They don't expect anything de-
cent or honorable, or noble from you, and
they've gone towork diggin and plowin and
plantin and raisin boy children 79et
Right here the man with a memorandum
scratched down garbled extract, and old
Boutwell, says he: Z. w hat do, you mean. by
that, sir? What inference do you intend {"
"Pm Stain facts" says I, You must
draw your own differences Tey IRE raiisiil
boy children Any harm about that s? Any
treason Can't'a man raise boy children p
Perhaps you'd like to amend the Constitution
and stop it. Old Pharaoh tried to stop it
among tie Israelites, but it didn't pay lie
finally caught the dropsylin the Red Sea-
We are raisin boy children for the fun Of it.
They are; a good thing to have in the house,
as Mrs. Toodles would say" aslso2 tsa.3tc
q Mr.. Arp are not the feelings Of your
people very bitter towards the North 2
. I beg your pardon, sir, but you'll have
to split the question, or else I'll have to split
the answer Our people have a very high
regard for honorable men, brave men, noble
hearted men, and there's heap Of 'em North
sir, and there's heap Of widows and orphans
there we are sorry for; but as for this here
Radical party, they look upon 'em like they
was hyenas scratchin up the dead for liv-.
in It's as natural to hate 'em as it is to
kill snake. It's utterly impossible for me
to tell the strength and length and hight,
depth and breadth Of their contempt for that
party They look upon a Radical -as--as
well a beggar on horseback buzzard
sailin round dead eagle--a suck egg dog
creepin up to the tail Of dead lion, They
talk about hirin Brownlow to abuse EN-, to
use language on 'em like be did few years
years ago when he spoke against Pryne. :. If
they do hire Brownlow he'll spatter 'em, he'll
daub 'em all over, and slime 'em and slobber
on 'em about right, and it will stick, for the
pores are open and their morals spongy.5 I'd
like to stand off about ten rods and hear him
spread himself It would be worse than a
squirt gun full of cow-slop, and [ have no
doubt would give general satisfaction
g That's sufficient, sir, says old Boutwell,
9 Eff it was in their power TODD so, would
your people renew the fight ?'' .fe.r
" Not unless they could fight the Radicals
all alone. and all the world agree to- hands

for we couldn't cotch you" .f..,s,., ,4@
s.What do your people say upon the sub
iect Of negro equality e ~ 45
"They say It's lie, sir-it don't exist by
nature and never can in practice Folks
were not created free and equal. That may
be theoretical truth, but it's always been a
practical lie. There's grades of society eve
ryWhcre. There's men [ give the sidewalk
to, and there's men that gives it to me-
There's men that vote, and men that vote
me, and the grades go up: UP, up, step by
step, from my sort to Mr., Davis and Mr..
Stephens, and General Lee, and Howell
Cobb, and Ben Hill, and their sort; for they
are the INCEST in the nation; and then gain
it goes from me down, down, down to the
niggers, and the Republicans and the Radi-
Gals, and that's as low as they run. There
amt inequality and you can't make one =
We Il vote the niggers certain. I'll vote Zip,
and Tips head center. .. He'll vote about
forty, and the first thing you know we'll
elect seven big, black, greasy niggers to Con
gress. We'lldo it ccrtain-seven of 'em Is
carats strong, with African musk. The 9TH
er rebel States will do the same thing, and
You'll have about fifty Of 'em to draw seats
with, and you can all stick your legs upon
your desks together, and swap lies and YER
min, and be shampooed at the same shop,
and the fair sexes can set together, IL the
galleries and mix odours, aud fan their scent
about promiscuous. Wen give you full
benefit of your Civil Rights bill, see if we
don't. You 60 on-play your cards. We
are bidin our. time. We are payin your tax
es and your duties and back rations for 1864,
and licenses, and your Internal revenue, and
obeyin your laws without havin any hand in
maxim EN-, and we are cut off from pensions,
and public lands; and you sold poor mans
still in my county the other day because he
couldn't pay your tax on some peach brandy
he stilled for his neighbors two years, ago );
and soon you'll be sellin the land for the land
tax, and you're tryin your best to play the
devil generally; but you'll catch it in the
long run. See if you don't. Talk about Fe-.
mans. When the good men Of the North
and the South all get together, they'll walk
over the track 50 fast that you won't have
time to get out of the way. You'll subside

that their daddies ever belonged to such a
party Excuse me, gentlemen, but I'm a
little excited, Five cents pound on cotton
will excite anybody that makes it. Tax on
industry-on sweat and toll. Protection tar
ifs for Pennsylvania and five cts. a pound tax
on Southern cotton-half it's average worth
and your folks will manage some way or
other to steal the other half My advice to
you is to quit this foolisbness and begin to
travel the only road to peace" ~
