her SONS ~ Washington, and Jciler-
son, and Madison, and Randolf
bought en- and worked ON TO sntls-
fiction, whcreupon old Pew got
Jealous and begun 10 preach agin IL
10 break il down. The fact Is they
wouldn't work gals in their faclSto-
ries II il warnt so profitable, for
they are oonscientiously opposed to
everything that don't put money
in their pockets.
Aitcr awhile they went into the
striped almanak bisness, making
bloody pikturs Of poor lasscrated
niggors gottin Il hundred lashes fur
nuthin and mournin for their first
born because they were not. Then
they started the stealth program, and
while we were tryin all tho big
courts and little courts to get back
one silky mcllatter by the name Of
bred Skott they were stealing from
five to fifty day, and coverin their
carcasses all over with negro larce-
ny, and smugglin the Constitution
into an Abolition mush. They built
afcnco around tho ins tuition as high
as Humans gallus, and hommed it
in, and laid seaig to it Just like an
army would bcseige city to starvo
out the inhabitants. They kept
peggin at us until we got mad
shore enuf mad-and we resolved
to cut loose from en- and paddle our
own canoo.
Now all this time we had some
good trends among em-somc who
swore VIC were imposed upon, and
said we had good cause to dissolve
the partnership. They said that if
we did scseed and the abolishunests
made war upon us, they would stand
by us and throw their lives and for
tunes and their sakred honor right
in the breach, and the first fight
would be over their dead bodies and
so forth and so on. My memory is
bad, but ] remember that some Of
EN- were named James Buchanan,
and Den Dikinson, and John Cox
ran, and Logan, and Cushin, and
Butler, surnamed the Beast, and
McLcrnard, and Stephen A. Doug
las, who got his commission about
tho time he died, and carried it with
him to parts unknown, and lastly a
man by the namc of Andy Johnson
who l suppose are some distant re-
lashun to the President Of the Uni
ted States Of Ameriky. But man
amt responsible for the bad conduct
of his relashuns, and l don't throw
it up to nobody. | suppose that our
President are doin the best he can,
and Mr.. Etheridge oughten to be
taking up his record.
Well the war come on and shore
enough Logan and Cushin, and Nc
Lcrnard and Butler and Company
buzzed around awhile like humble
bees till they were bought up, and
then they lit over on the other side.
They got their reward and they are
welcome to it so far as | am con-
cerned.
How is itnow, Mr.. Happy They
conquered us by the sword, but they
haventconvinced lis ofnothing much
that / know Of All is lost save hon
or, and that they can't steal from us
nor tarnish.
If they had held out the hand of
fellowship, we would have made
friends and buried the Ratchet. But
the very mint they whipped us,
they began to holler treason from
one end of the country to the other
just like they had made bran new
discovery. Itseemed to stike them
all Of sudden like an Xpost facto
law, and they wanted to go into q
general hangin bisncss. and keep it
up as long as they could find rope
and timber.
Now the idea Of several millions
of American freeman being guilty
OF treason at onct The idea OF APP
plyin such crime to eleven great
suvreen States, which metin solemn
convention and in the light of day
dissolved Union they had created,
and which had been a disunion for
twenty years! Theide of applyin
Treason to the Old Dominion, the
muther of States, and of Washing
ton and Jefferson and Madison and
Marshall and Patrick Henry and
all the Lees, and who gave away all
the territory to the Northwest for
nothin! Is she to be scandalized by
these new-light Christians who are
compounded from all the skum of
all creation, and who think that Pail
Peter and Revelashuns have been
for 200 years maxim special arrange
ments for receivin their sanctified
souls i'm Paradise? Treason the
dickinsl Where's Daniel Webster2
Where's the history of the American
revolushun
No it amt treason-but it's dew
e!ish internal inhuman hate. What
do they keep Mr.. Davis in Jail for2
| hear sum say that it Amt Mr.. john
sons voluntary doins but the tre-
menOious nrassura of surrOundinp
