G.ShalI the Democratic Party live
or die ?"-Mr. Nasby gives his
views on the subject. a

..r.. liz. CoNFEDRIT ID ROADS,
(wich is in the Stait Nv Kentucky)
'.. November 26 1866.
The papers of the country are very generally
discussin the questions 'Shel the Democratic
party live or die" wch wen we take into cOnsld-
alton the fact that the corpse is nfore u.s. seems to
me hner mOekery, and u heartless trhin with
the feens NV the friends of the deceast. Ther
aint no yOose NV takn NV Its fucher, coz It's IN its
fucher now, and tomb stone might ez well be
put up, regardis of expense, commemoratln It's
virchOOs.
The Chicago Times and various other papers
are advOcatin the ice NV loppin over to nigger
suffrage. hev let my Websterian intellick lite
onto this subjek at various times, and the more
hev considered it, the more | am satisfied that IL
wont do. A nabur NV mine wunst he'd the STUN
| ck axe and applied to me for q remedy. In
spirit Nv jockelarity told him that striknine
wood cure that, ez well eZ oil other physcle Ills.
The poor fellow not seein it wuz joke, took an
| ounce or TWO, and need | state the result lie
sleeps in the valley. Niger suffrage, wlch Is
| rank pizen, wood end the troubles NV the DimOc-
risy but wOodLnt it end DimOcrsy also5 We
mite die gracefully ez Dinocrats, but wood our
resurrection ez Ablishnisrs be ccrtaiD3 Woodent
the people when we are wunst entom6ed, Iorget
| to awaken us 2
My objections are these
l. We cant gobble Ablishen votes with niger
suffrage for the reason that ef the people desire
| IL bHeY u pEODaDiJ ~ w JlCTGOI,
that they mite be ashoored Nv gcttln the genoo-
| ine article. fr. .
2 We cant get the nigger after he Is man and
| q brother The Times idea is wei ketch EN- on
the score that the trash materially graytates to
We are too late for this. The nigger jus now Is
lookin up-not down, and ef the tax wuz taken
| of our whisky SO ez to bring that cssenshel To
| Democratic SUCCESS wunst more within our means
and we shood devote ourselves enthusiastically
TO the work, we woOdn't be able 10 get 'em down
to our level in twenty years. ...
Aiore that time shel hev gone into that other
world wher pOllytix won't trouble me, and ef the
orthodox relijus beleels NV the day Is correct in
the department NV the tother world In wich
shall pull up, there will 6e strong Democratic
majority. Ez lift my eyes from thence, 1t will
do me no pertiklcr good ez | know NV, to be
told that the DemOcrisy he'd elected ther Presi-
dent by nigger votes-that intelligence woodn't
supply the place NV the water should be calin
for. ....
Its instant rcleef VIC need, and ef life is ever
pumped into the carcass alOre us, IL must be done
TO wuuist | have an ijee for the salvation of the
party which, II acted on will give us u lease Nv
power for years-hlexico.
Here is suthin feasible. Let the South adopt
the ConstoOshan Amendment TO wunst provide
Congress will knock out the third article wlch
DISTINGUISHES the heft NV us who are iii for Con-
grGss, aud also repeel the test oath, and mmcjitly
let johnson annex Mexico. How will it stand
theni We hev ten States out wich We kin depend
upon Kentucky Delaware, and Maryland make
thirteen. and Mexico kin be cut up lnlo twenty
more, or thirty for that matter givin us A clean
majority In the Senit House and Electoral Col
le,fe. hey let NV intellick out on this suieck.
, and ain't mistaken. In Mexico is the precise
pOpulashen we kin best work upon. They
cant understand our speakers, sez one oblecJ0r
Very pood admit IT, and what do we wnnt nv
voters who kin understand us The downfall nv
Democrisy cOmmenst. the mint the people bryan
: 10 understand U.s. SO long as they took things ON
T trust il wuz all right. but when they beynn Ia
question, the iig wuz up. Intelligence Is a good
> thing in the abstracts, but YOU must be hlOdit in
It's demands. .... ...
