The Corners wuz prostrsted with
joy last mite at the reject NV the news
Nv the November elecshuns. Ther
wuz nothin demonstrative about our
joy ez there he'd bin on occasions Nv
less interest. No! the result wuz
too great, too overwhelmingly great
Our nachers wuz filed with joy and
it bubbled up to the eyes, and slopt
over in floods Nv teers. Deekin Po-
grams dawter Mirandy borrered a
tamborine, wich wood answer for a
timbrel, and attempted to dance
down the street, after the fashion NV
Miriam, singin, "Shout the glad
tidens," ct settry, but we rebookt
her. Sich exultashen seemed to us
inadekate, The Deekin met me and
fallin onto my neck, wept perfoosely
down my back, wieh I stood ez long
ez i Good bear the moistyer. Gently
disengagin him, led him to Bas-
CONS, fearin that SO great a waste
NV foods wood cot short the old
saints life, unless that waste Good be
repaired. We supplied the deiclen-
cy to-wunst. Never saw I SIGH a
picter. The blessed old man sittin
onto a bench, a glass Nv hot whiskey
in his hand his white hair fallin
scantily about his temples, and tears

bis frost bitten nose, and, glitteriu 8
moment on the tip, droppin like
strings nv pearls into the space be-
low! 1t Wuz tetchin o-G Io1 @
The citizens met that eyenin, not
to rejoice, but to adopt sich meas
ures for turning the victory to &C
count ez the occasion seemed to de-
mand. The Deekin wuz there, and
l bleeve every white male citizen NV
the Corners wuz in his sect afore the
glad peals Nv the bell he'd ceased
pealin. l assoomed the chair and
in a few joodishus remarks stated the
objeck Nv the meetin. Moo York, |
remarkt, he'd spoken, and Moo Ger
sey, the blessed State NV which / he'd
the honor to be a native, he'd return
ed to her fust love. l wuz not now
ashamed to own that / wuz q native
of Moo Gersey. lam proud Nv it.
and we're it not for the fact that ]
owe neerly half nv her citizens, in
sums rangin from half dollar up to
eighteen, l wood return there to-
wupst. But / won't. 1t wood
awaken expectations in their buzzums
wich wood never be fulfilled, and I'm
TOO tender hearted, too considrlt nv
the feelins Nv others to lasserate them
feelins. / can't properly express my
emoshuns. Thank heaven, the mig
ger is Ourn. The Northern States
hev spoken, and in thunder tones
The Ethiopian wunst wuz on the top
wave, but wher is he now? Two

need him no more to fill up ther
quotas, they don't need him no more
to take ther places in the next drars,
and thank the Lord he's the same
id niger he alluz wuz. The stink
NV the niger hez overcome ther
gratitood to him-ther good feelln
hez bin swamped by ther pre-
joodis. The Dimocrasy nv the two
sections NV the Yoonion hez rusht
into each others arms, the nigger
wuz between EN-. and consekently is
under our feet. What happinis for
Kentucky! The niger can't go
North with the elecshen returns
stariu him in the face, and eff he
stays here he must stay on our terms.
Thank the Lord
Deekin Pogram sed that he hednt
felt so good sence his first wife died.
He felt too good to speek, and the
brethren wood excuse him eff his re-
marks shood be breef. 1--WE will T!
We will! with great yoonanimity. }
