BELuBBED -BRUDDERN is gwine to do
on dis de present 'casi0n, what nebber
done afore since commence spOundin the
gospfi, Iisgwine to preach apoliticai sar-
mint. Psafree American of African scent,
and Use got Jest as good a right to preach
politics as Brudder Beecher, or any udder
man. De tex say, Beware of men dat come
TO YOU in sheep's clethin.1 Now bruddern,
de question axes itself what is sleeps
clotliini?i Sleeps clothin, you all know, Is
wool sand you all likewise knows de black
man got wool std of har, on his craniology.
So N7idout stretchin de figger more'n a pol
Iiticiafier sometimes stretches his con-
science, we may read de tex in dis wise:
Beware of de white men dat comes toay you
in wool, dat is, comes to you in de guise1
OBJ de black man; dat make out dey ldb de
black man; dat dey feel like de black
man dat 1dey smell like de black
man but within dey be ravenin wolves,
seekin for Niger votes. Dey comes to us
in sleeps clothin; dey call you feller citi-
zen: dey is laborin and sufferin parsecu-
tion for de sake of de black man; dey re-
spect deir enllud bredern !, dey lubl ldeir
cllliud sistern-sometimes my bruddern,
not wisely but too WELL Dey come to you
in sleeps clothin dey is gwine to do great
give eber black man farm anda she mule
aud eber black oman grand pianDer; and
larn all the little nigs to cipher multiplica-
tion. and talk Greek. Dey is gwine to glib
the black man franchises, and cibil rights,
and buros, and pluribus unurns, and de
debbff knows what, make crismus come
twice a year, and cherry third year a jubilo.
Bewar of dem, my brudderin'; dey lubs de
black man and de black oman, like de wolf
luhs de sheep; and dat, you know, is for de
sake of d sheep meat. -is1fH3s ~. -
Deysis favenen wolves, my bruddern,
seekinz for niger votes. Dey is broken
winded politicianers, my bruddern, dat
decent white men won't vote for; and dey
thinks dey can get de votes oh de black
men by pulling wool ober deir eyes, Oats
why sdey ,goesin for nigger suffrage; when
de Lord knows de nigger's done suffered
eruff already wild deir foolishness. What
good it gWine to do de niger to vote? 1t
amt gwine to'put meal in der barrel, meat
in-tfer not taters in de ashes, nor corn in de-
hoss-trotf. What do YOU know bout the
