e (Stait of Kentuky,) (
January 10, 1867.
] wuz rekested week ago to preach
a discourse from the text wich the noble
and high-minded Guvner Bramlette used
with sich crushin force in his last annual
message, to wit: "Kin the Leopard
change his spots or the Ethiopian his
skin? and allure feelin anxious to do
wat l can for the cause, did it last
mite, or rather essayed todo it. aa
And here let me remark, that there
aint more devoted people in Kentucky
than them lambs ez compose my flock.
1t wuz tuchin site and one wich filed
my soul with joy to see EN- pour out NV
the groceries at the first tootin NV the
horn, and to see Pennebacker, witch owns
the distillery, stoppin work to come !;
but the most cheerin and encouragin
sign to wuz to see Deekin Pogram, who
wuz playin seven up for the drinks
with Elder Slathers, at Bascom's lay
down hand his when he he'd high low and
jack in it, and only three to go. ELDER
sed he, his voice tremlin at the sacrifice
he wuz a maxim and tear stealth down
his cheek.-"Elder, them's the horn.
Let us to our dooties. - "Ligion must
take the front seat NV temp'ral matters"
and sighin ez he cast partin glance at,
his hand, he strobe out, resolootly to
the sanktooary.
Iopencd / by readin the folfowin from
Gov. .Brsmlett's message:
~rhe nigger is the inferior NV the
white-he lacks the power to rise. On
til the leopard kin change his spots, or
the Ethiopian his skin, all efforts to re-
peal or nullify Gods laws will be una
vailin."
"My' brehtrin these words is words NV
wisdom, and for en- let us be thankful
The skin Nv the Ethiopian wuz inflicted
onto him for the express purpose NV dis
tingishin him from his brethrin, whose
servants he wuz condemn to be, for all
time, ez punishment for the sin of Cain
or the improodenee NV Ham, witch, Dem
ocratic divines heyen't settled on.
With the black skin he wuz given all
the other marks of inferiority, He
wuz Gust with long arms, immense
hands, fat nose, and bowed legs, and
thet there might be no mistake In the
matter, he wuz given wool instead nv
hair, halleloogy!
"Ah, my brethrin, wat blessed thing
fol us is the Ethiopian! Wat a con
ISOLATION it must be to 700 all to know
thet there is race below VOC, and how
blessed the refectshun that they can't
change there skin, and by that means git
aboyeI.yoo That's the comfort we
draw from the scripters. Wat a horror
it wood be for Deekin Pogram, who is
snorin so peacefy. lsu e;
eDreamin sweetly dresmin the happy hours away"
eff when the Soopreme Court decides the
Ablishn amendment unconstooshnl, and
he gets his niggers back agin; eff ther
shood be new dispensashun and mig
gers should be permitted to change
ther skins. Wat sekoority wood We
hev for our property? Some rnornin
he'd wake up and find EN- all white
persons wich it wood be unconstooshnl
to wallop, la2.f
any brethren ther hez bin many Of
ffots to change the skin nv the Ethio-
plan, or rather ther hez bin many who
wanted to. The Boston Ablishnists hey
tried it, bat wat hez bin the result a-
Amt they niggers yet, and aint they
still the. degraded wretches they allure
