depth and breadth of their contempt
for that party, They look upon a
radicals as-as-as-well as a beg
gar on horseback buzzard sail
ing around u dead eagle-a suck egg
dog crcapin up to the tail of a dead
lion. They talk about hiring Brown
low to abuse 'em, like he did few
years ago when he spoke against
Pryne If they do hire Brownlow
he'll spatter en-, he'll daub en- all
over, and slime 'em and slobber on
'em about right, and it will stick,
for the pores are open and their
morals spongy, I'd like to stand OIL
about ten rods and hear him spread
himself. 1t would be worse than a
squirt t-gun full of COW slop, and |
have no doubt would give general
satisfaction
That's sufficient, sir" says old
Boutwell,. "Ef it was in their pow
er to do 30, would your people re-
new the fightP'
"Not unless they could fight the
radicals all alone, and all the world
agree to hands off Even then
there wouldn't be no fight, for we
couldn't catch you
"What do your people say upon
the subject Of negro cquality?"
":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 n
theoretical truth, but it's always
been a practical lie There's grades
of society everywhere. There's
men l give the sidewall 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 highest in the nation; and
then again it goes from me down,
down, down to the niggers, and the
republicans and the radicals, and
that's as low as they run. There
amt no equality and you cant
make one. Well vote the niggers
certain. III vote Tip, and Tips a
head center He'll vote about for
ty, and the first thing you know
we'll elect seven big, black, greasy
niggers to congress. Well do it
certain-seven of 'em Is carats
strong, with African musk. The
other 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
and be shampood at 'tne Same snop,
and the fair ones can set together
in the galleries and mix odors, and
fan their scent about promiscuously:
Well give you q 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 taxes and your duties and back
rations for 1864, and licenses, and
your Internal revenue, and obeyin
your laws without havin any hand
in maxim 'em, 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 neigh
bors two years ago; and soon you'll
be selln the land for the land tax,
and you're tryin your best to play
the devil generally; butyou'll II catch
it in the long run. See if you don't.
Talk about Fenians When the
good men of the north and south all
get together they'll walk over the
track so fast that you won't have
time to get out of the way. You'll
'ubside into obscurity, and your
children will deny that their dad
lies ever belonged to such a party.
Excuse me, gentlemen, but I'm lit
lie excited. Five cents a pound on
cotton will excite anybody that
makes it. Tax on industry-on
,weat and toll. Protection tariffs
or Pennsylvania and five cents a
pound on southern cotton--half it's
lverage worth-and your folks will 1
some way or other to steal
he other half. My advice to you .
s, to quit this foolishness and begin ,
% travel the only road to peace"
Old Blow couldn't keep up with ,
lis garbled extracts.
"What makes the president so
popular at the south ?"
Contrast, sir-contrast The
more he amt like your party, the {
more popular he is. He would treat
is about right, l reckon, if you
would let him alone, but you be-
levil him so that sometimes he don't
himself. / don't think
le knew for while whether his ]
,eace proclamation restored the writ
If hdbeds corpus ornot. But do you
20 on and impeach him, and that .
will bring matters to a focus. I'll ;
yet you'd be in for Delaware in
week, and the southern members be
lere in their seats, and they'll look
'ound at the political wreck and
'uin and plumber and stealage that's
,een going on, and they might ex- :

"Mr. Harp, suppose we should :
nave a war with England or France,
what would the rebels do?" II
"They'd follow general Lee, and .
general johnson, and Lonstreet, and ;
Bragg and old Bory. My opinion
