Is no respecter of persons. Not having
spared the tolies Of the Democrats he has
bagun Il series of deserved castigonians of
Republicans who have not the courage to
stand up to their own doctrines. He tells in
his last letter how he and Deacon Pogram
hid under wagon in a barn and listened
TO the speech of Il negro who had been
North TO find the promised land" and
returned to report to his brethren. This
Is his report:
He landed first in Philadelphy, and bein
sumwat wearied by the long ride he took
seat in a street car which wuz empty
The condukter ordered him out, but sposin
he wuz III a state where there wuz e6al
rites, he insisted on stayin. when the con-
dukter and the driver bundled him out by
force His coat, he observed, showin
where the bloc blouse had been onskilfully
mended. wuz sumwhat frakterd in the skuf-
fie
At this narrashun the niggers groaned,
and it wuz all Good do to keep the dekin
from hollerin halleloogy,
In Moo York state he didn't fare well.
He diskivered that decent nigger there
isn't quite ez good ez very ornry white
man. He happened there on 'leckshen day,
and narrated that he saw white men car
ried up to the poles 50 eggstremely drunk
that them ez had EN- in charge had to put
the ticket atween ther fingers and anser to
ther names, while spectacle nigger he'd
to show that he wuz worth some property
afore he wuz allowed to vote, and then 4
number of gentlemen with red faces and
clubs made it 50 unpleasant that but few
attempted it
The dekin punched me in the ribs vo-
ciferously
Next he went to Ohio, spoSin NV course
that state so extremely opposed to bond
age would be the place he wuz IN search
NV. Again he wuz disappointed 1t wuz
worse than it wuz III Moo ork, for the
abishnists wuz a goin on the principle, he
rather guessed. Nv doin justis without run
min agin anybody's prejudices; or rather,
Nv lettin iustis do herself, for they don't
make any move towards helpin her. There
the nigger NV no grade no matter how
much he paid taxes onto, or how long he
served i'll the army, WIZ allowed vote
The ablishnests. ez he understood, tho prap>
he wuz wrong, carried the state on the
nigger question, but wus now afrade to
fetch it for fear they would lose it again
They've he'd it he remarked. l. years, but
hedn't ez yit, got all the people edjicated
up to the pint NV dom wat all the people
knowd wuz rite.
| His experience in the West wuz very
similar The ablishnists wuz everywhere
very strongly in the majority, and every
wun NV em he talked with wuz IN favor Nv
givin the nigger his rites, but they wuz all
afrade eff they took hold NV it they'd be laid
out by the democracy, which wuzn't in the
majority at ALL In Washington when Con
gress hez give the niger a vote, he WI

A gentleman who wants to run for mayor
next spring give him his dinner, and quite
a number Nv others who wanted small of:
Ifices did likewise, but he wouldent advise
emigrashen there, for the reason that thel
wuz too many there now; and besides, its
possible that before the next election, Con
gress may conclood that suffrage in the
Destrick will run 'em into the ground IL
the states (their constituents, which are al
ablishnists, now bein educated up to the
pint) and repeel it.
