out NV the wilderness
The civil rites bill wuz the serpent wat bit
us, and he histed it, that we might look and
live.
Now let us be joyful.
For the Ethiopian is delivered into our
hands, bound hand and foot.
Blessed be Moses!
We will make him grind our corn, but he
shel not eat thereof
Blessed be Mosesl
We will make him tread out our wheat,
but we will muzzle his mouth.
Blessed be Moses!
He shall pick our cotton, but the hire he
receiveth he shall stick in his eye, without
injuring the sight thereof
Blessed be Mosesl
He shall toll in the sugar MILL but the
sugar shall he not sell.
Blessed be Mosesl
His sweat shall nourish our corn, but he
shall eat nary ear thereof
Blessed be Mosesl
We will burn his school-houses and des-
troy his spelling books, (for shall the nigger
be our superiorH) and who shall stay our
hand?
The skool teachers we will tar and feather
and whar is the bloo-koted hirelins to make
| us afeerd?
Blessed be Moses!
We looked at the niger and said, hal hal
the last state NV that chattel is wuss nor the
iust, fur before we he'd his labor while he
wuz strong and healthy, but had to take
care on him when he was sick and DID, and
now we kin git his labor without the care
Blessed be Moses
The Ablishnists cast out one devil, and
garnished the room, but there uuz seven
devils more stronger and hungrier which
rushed in and pre-empted the premises.
| Blessed be Moses
| But our song Nv joy wuz turned into a
vale Nv anguish
Moses sought to hist the serpent, but the
serpent histed him.
He's on pole and the bitin North wind
is BLOWN onto him.
he can't get up any higher because his
pole amt longer, and he can't get down be-
cause he amt no place to light onto.
He vetoed the bills and Congress hez ye-
toed him--the civil rites bill they passed in
a uncivil manner.
Now, bein the niger hez rights, he is our
ekal.
Our ekil is the niger now, and onless the
skool-house is burned and the spellIn books
destroyed he will soon be our superior
We wuz willin to give him the right of
bein sued, but alas! he kin sue,
He kin be witness agin US, and he kin
set his face agin ourn.
Our wise men may make laws to keep him
in his normal speer, but Nv wat avail is theyt
We kin buy and sell him no more, neither
he nor his children.
The men will cleave unto their wives and
the wives unto their husbands, and our hand
is powerlis to separate EN-.
Their children kin we no more put up at
auction and sell TO the highest bidder, We
pocketing joyfully the price thereof.
They hev becom sassy and impudent, and
say, go to, are we not menf"

bade me be damned.

chin, and smiled onto her, and she squawked,
and her husband hearin the squawk thereof
came up and bustid my head, even as white
man wood hev dun.
1 chastised wun who gave me lip, and he
sood me, Caucashun, for assault a battery,
and got a judgment.
Walel Fur Moses put out his hand to
save us these indignities, but his hand wuz
too weak
We killed Linkin in vain.
Our Moses is payin Jaxon. He iancieth
he resembleth him becoz his inishals is the
same.
He resembleth Jaxon muchly- in that
Jaxon he'd policy wich he Good carry out.
; And ez he can't carry out his policy, the
, people arc carryin it out fur him.
Wich they do a holdin it at arms length
and holdin their noses.
Moses is a cake half baked--he is hot on
one side and cold on tother.
He darsnt let go NV Ablishnism, and is
aleerd to come TO us.
He hez been taken epson salts and ipecac,
= and one is workin up and the other is workin
down.
Where kin we look for comfort?
Do we turn to the people? Connection
