(Which is in the Stait of kentucky,
July II, 1867
In castin my eye carelessly over the po-
Iitikle field, wiuh Seward and me do every |
sixty days, think kin spy into the horl-
zou bud which is swelliu into almost hope
full flower. 1t is spredlu itself into hurri |
cane, witch threatens to sweep away the
fabric of Abishnism and purify the politikle
atmosphere. The Radikle party hev bin at
last forced to adopt the legitimt endlu NV
their sooicidle principles, niger suffrage,
and from that the Dimockrisy, eft they are
wise, will snatch the triumph litralIy from
the laws Nv death We hav 'em now. In
OHIO that question is to be voted onto this
fall-In New York and Michigan its raisin
bret re in their convenshuns and in Penn
sylvania, Illinoy and Indiana it cant be long
put off Its our best hold The proud eau
cashun wich votes the dimocratick tickit
has no objeckshun to bsin jossled by the
Niger i'll the rush to pay taxes, but his
hawty soul reco,s at the idee Nv bein ell
howep by him at the yolls. Besides, the
Dinecratic voters don't want the ballet to
given to any other lower class 1t wood
make undue compeiishen. Ez | remarked
we've got EN-. Wat the Demokrisy want
now is so to handle this delikiU subject ez to
make the most Nv it.
The great trouble with the party is that
there is no uniform style Nv meetin this
question. On the main question we are all
agreed We oppose niger suffrage. Its a
part and parcel Nv dimokrat's nacher to
oppose niger suffrage. The leaders Nv the
party opposed it at the beginnin, for seein
how the ballot wuz abused by ther followers
they trenbled for the republic eff it was en-
trusted to the hands Nv any more Nv ekai
capassity, and The masses Nv the organiza-
ton opposed givin it to the niger, becoz
that one privilege and color, wuz all that
distinguished EN-. Its a pecooliarlty Nv un
regenerated human nacher that it must al
JUS bear down on somebody. The poet SEE :
Even the lice have smaller ones to bite EN-.
And they still smaller ones, ad intinitum. !"
+, Ultimately the democracy hev the niger
for their smaller lice. The sturdy yeoman-
ry felt it to be a soothiu thing to fud, wunst
each year, that in wun thing at least he wuz
sooperior to somebody and 80 it will be ez
long ez there is a Dimokracy. The troo
| Drmokrat promotes hisself, not by liftin his
self above the level on which he fin is hIsself,
but by sho'in some wun down to a lower
level and as ther wuzn't anybody else on
this Continent wIch they Good GIT hold Nv,
the niger wuz, long ago, selected fur that
purpose.
The great trouble is we oppose niger
suffrage now from too many stand-pints.
Some oppose it on the skore nv the unfit
ness Nv the Afrikin, but that never wuz a

Anuther speaker quotes Noah to EN-, and
boldly asserts that the Niger is the de.
scendaDt Nv Ham, and that he is the identi-
ticle midwife witch wuz Gust by Noah, but
he runs agiu the fact that the rest Nv EN-
wich is in Afrka yet, hev managed to
dodge the cuss, ez they amt servin ther
white brethren aud them which wuz brot

servtood goes, ez ennybody.
I There is, ez hev showed, all these con
aicting ideas that work agin us. Therefore,
want a NashneIl CoNvenshun. want a
convocashun of the lights Nv the party to
set forth authoritivly why we oppose niger

Wv course this doctrine will meet with
