Onesimus; I shell turn from the inferiority
idea and take the broad ground that the
nigger is beast, that he amt a man at
all, and consekently he hez no more rites
than any other animal. I put my foot
onto him by authority of the decree that
unto man Wuz given dominion over the
beasts-that we are men and they are
beasts. Eff they admit the first propo-
sishen, they will the last. I shell assert
boldly and proudly his onf1tness to min
gle with us becoz his fizzikle structure,
his muscles, nerves, fibres, being differ
ent, go to show that he wuz Nv a different
origin and Nv lower origin. I shell plant
myself on the stOopenius yet simple prop
osisheu that the Almity made him, prOba-
bly,, but at different time and for diff
ferent purpus, wich I shell show by citin
the color Nv his skin, the length nv his
foot the shape Nv his head, and sich other
matters as I kin git together in time for the
.convenshen.
Nv course this doctrine will meet with
objectOrs. We hev few thin-skinned per-
fessers of religion, whose piety service in
our ranks hezn't quite obliterated, who
will say that these dogmas undermines the
Christian religion, ez it destroys the doc
trim Of the unity Nv the races onto which

that spOsin it does, wot then Nv wot
comparison is any religion a Orthodox
Dinocrat hez, to a triumph Nv the party I?
Wot heZ Dimocrisy to do with religion,
any howP It hez never permitted it to
mix in its pollytix. Dimocrisy believes in
keeping Church and State as far apart ez
possible.
ShOod the Ablishnists pint to niggers
wich reed and write, shood say to wunst
that there is different degrees Nv instinck
that as one dorg hez more instink than
another, that so one nigger has more than
another, and then I shood wind this an
swer up by askin him, "Sir, wood you
force your dawter to marry nigger, even
eff he Good reed and write 2' This has
alluz done good service, partickelerly ef
yOO walk hurridly away before there is
time for an answer.
Their is one pint wich is stumper, but
only one. One man to whom I unfOlded
this theory asked me sneeringly wat wuz
a gOin to do with mulatter who wuz half
white and half black-half man and half
beast-half instink wich dies with him,
and half sole wieh wuz to be saved and
fitted for the skies, or lost. When mu-
latter dies wat then? Does the half sole
Nv the half man drag the instink of the
beast behind it in a limpin, lOp-sided
fashion into heaven, or does the instink
drag the sole into the limbo for animals
"Ef this latter idea be correct" sed he, sin
that limbo how much Southern sole is
flOatin about, held in solooshen in animal
instink ~
An old friend Nv mine in Kentucky be-
come indignant wen I propounded the
beast theory to him, and he threatened me
Of
his presence, wich did to wunst. Alas
for the imprudence of Jealous men! before
speekin to him on the subject diden't
notis the skores of brite yeller children all
about the place, rangin from the infant Nv
six months to the boy Nv sixteen, and all
Nv EN- with his nose
But notwithstaudin these drawbacks,
it's the most healthy doctrine we've got,
and the only ground upon wieh we kin
stand sekOOrly. 1t kivers the ground,
and, besides, it don't interfere with any
body else's idea. The orators wich inn
plore the people ef they want to marry mig
gers, kin make the appeal with more force
after assertin that the nigger is a beast
and the nnsiYeAt virgins who will this fall
bear the banners onto wich will be proud
ly inscribed, awe want no niggers for hus-
bands" will bear EN- still more defiantly;
for if they RELY believe the doctrine they
will be in earnest in it.
At all evence, let the Convenshun be
called, that this question may be settled.
Let US all stand on one platform, that we
may make the most Nv this god-send.-I
Let US inscribe onto our banner the in
"Ameriky fur white men ~
"Eternel hostility to Animle Suffrage" !"
and go in to win. Efthe Amerikin peO-
Dle don't sly at Niger Suffrage now. they
never will.
