The gentleman from Illinoy will to.
.wunst, perceive the fix we are in. The Y
amt fit for the ballot now, and eff we
makeem so, it overturns our theory,
which we cant do. Still we pro, ose to
be just to EN-. We snall give such ofe n
the ballot. es are sufficiently INTELLIGENT,
and we shell not put the standard to
high nuther. We shall give every one of
EN- the ballot who is able to read the
Greek, testament, fuently, and pass
credible examinashun in Latin, embroid-
cry, French, German, English Grammar,
and Double entry Bookkeeping. The
pathto the polls yu see is open 10 en-
Ut courses we cant beexpected to toler-
ate School houses for EN-, coz that wood
raise them above their normal condishen.
Also, ther must be proper regulashuns
controlin EN-, for my dear sir, they are
mere infants, and their totterin steps
on there road to freedom needs direction.
Society is a compromise in which every
one resign ez much of his personel liber-

We count ourselves the hull, and the re-
.sinin NY personal liberty must come from
EN-. "That nigger," sed he, pinting to
one wich the joyous citizens wuz string
ing up to .Bascom's sign post, that mig
ger is resinin his persnel freedom for the
good Of the, hull. No doubt in his heart
he murpiurs, and eff the cord wich is cho-
kin Good be looscned, he wood repine.-
1t is rough on him, but the super:o 'ity
of the Coucashn race must be-My God!
its one of my niggers' y ejacilated the
deekin, but it wuz to late. The nigger
wuz already black in the face and had
ceased to kick, and the Deekin, heayin a
sigh, perceeded.
ave shall scrooepsasly regard their
rites. They shell hey the rite to buy
llnd, and be IN alfF respecks Ike US, cz
they can be trusted. Till then they will
hev to be restrained. There must be
laws prohibitin EN- from receivin more
than $3.50 per month, that they may not
become bloated aristocrats and pampered
of luxury-the proper developement wv
the country and likewise the payment Of
the Contederit debt, requires manual Ia
Dor wich we. wuz educated to do, and
therefore the good of the whole requires
that they shell resin their personal hber.
ty so far ez to be confined to the planta,
shuns onto which they hev engaged ther
laber, they may relijisly do it, wich is
clearly necessary, for you see if hire a
inigger in January, ! must not be expos
ed to the chances of his quittn me in J III
ly. But what, more kin they want?-
They are free to ez great an extent ez the
good of sosiety will permit. We shell
give EN- qualified -su4frage, fiXifi ofvourse
which'is jjtlst the qualifications ourselves,
and being valoable members of sosiety,
hereafter we shall care for EN-, so long e2
ttheyIare healthy-good lord why will
4 these cusses persist in hanging able bod
led niggers when there's so many old
ones around, good for nothin but to eel,

dolns of the mite. There was a school
house and a. church recently erected

was nearly white and almost fifteen, WITCH

counted correctly, able bodied men and
wimmen was hung. Basconl sold out
his stock entirely, and by atlrce A. NJ
the entire inhabitants of the Corners wuz
layin around the square in festoons. $50
There yuz bitter awakening to this
scene offestiyity.. s. AT aihttle after sever
while the Deekin, the Elder, and myself
was in Bascom's tryin to get an assuagel
and the best we could was pour quar-
of water into a barrel wich he'd bin emp

we asked him the confirmation of the ii

hoax that no such thing he'd bin done
nor wuz Congris in any such noshun.-
Pollock dropped in. and when freproach

that it wuzahoax, but he hoped we woot
excoose him. lie he'd cravin desire
to see whether eff Amnesty and Suffrag,
