my surprise they wuz all directed to
niggers. "Wat is tnis," thOt to my
self. mHev the Ablishnists Nv the
North determined upon proselytin
these men, and are they goin to flood
this county with their incendiaTy read
in? Ez a Federal officer its my dOOty
to look into the mattery Jist imag-
inc my delirious joy at fndin that they
wUz Democratic papers from Moo York
and Ohio! "Thank Heaven p sed l,
our people hev awakened to a sense Nv
the necessity Nv doin suthin," and u
handed the papers out to EN- with I'M
pressive words, exhOrtin Nv EN- to-
read EN-, ez they wuz trOOth, and nOthin
but the trooth.
I ruther think they read EN-, for
from that time out they avoided me,
ez though he'd the plague. Eff 1 wuz
agoin down the street and one NV EN-
wuz a comm up he'd cross the street,
and the pecoolyer expression Nv his
.countenance indicatid that it wuzn't
my majestic presence which avid him.
They he'd loathin depicted on their
cIassick feechers. Unable to endOOr
this I Iseezed one Nv EN- and asked why
I wuz treated thus q?
Delibiritly, he pulled out Ov his
pockit one NV them cussed Northern
papers, and openin it pinted, indig-
nantly, to editorial article. 1t Wuz
perfoosely headed in this wise:

Wat Good 1 say? Wat Good 1 dO?I
There it Wuz in black and white, and
from papers whose DimOcrisy Good
not be questioned. I wuz dumb
founded. The nigger stalked hawtily
and proudly away in one direkshin,
while l sneaked Off ruther sneakinly
in another.
I hev one word to say to our breth-
ren in the North. YOo'r dOublin our
troubles, and maxim our burdens
harder to bear. Why can't 700 un-
derstand common sense? Wat hurt
wood nigger suffrage be to yOo up there
wher ther amt no niggers, and how
much wood it benefit us down here,
where theirs millions Nv EN-? Can't
700 see it? We can play the same
game on the niggers that we used to
play on the sturdy yeOmanry Nv Berks
County, Pennsylvany, and other To-
calities. On all questions heretofore
the Dimocrisy hez allowed liberal
license. We hev bin Free Trade in
Moo York, and Tariff in Pennsylvany |
the same year, and we Good do it. Sich
Dimocrats didn't git ther asshoOrences
from papers, OWN to their inability to !
perooze 'em rapidly, it bein so long
afOre they got a word spelled out that
they forgot the one precedin it, wich
destroyed the connection, the contin-
uity NV the narrative, eff I may so
speak, and wat we told 'em wuz gOs-
pei. That won't do with the nigger
down here. He reads, he does; and eff
he don't, theirs aIluz everywhere sum
sich sneakin cuss ez Pollock, who reads
for him, and they know wat they
know, jist ez well ez anybody. Let
'em stop hammerin the nigger. 1t |
won't do. Eff he is to be a man and
brother here, he must be a man and
brother there. Eff the Dimocrisy must |
heY a race to look down to, let 'em
turn their attenshun to the Chinese or
the Injuns, but, from this time out, the
nigger is sacred.
