"My brethren and sistren, ac-
knowledge that hay not long held
these views. | hev showed the
comon preiudis,and hev contemmed
our friends Of color; l hey despite
fully used 'em-I have gone for EN-
and banged EN- like old books
But it wuz becoz | didn't know
'em | didn't see the kernel Of meet
under tie rough SMELL didn't
recognize the glitrin diamond in the
ebony coal. Ny eyes hev bin open
ed. Like Saul Of Tarsus. ] see a lite.
Sence the passage NV the Military
bill | hey diskiyered many things
too teius too menshun. l hev most
ly found out all these things since
that occurrence. But let US accept
the situation and bless the Lord it
hez resulted in developin cxcellen-
cies where we didn't expect to find
EN-"
There wuz an afectin scene after
service wuz over. Deekin Pogram
Capt McPheltter, and Elder Gavitt
shook hands with 'em with a degree
Nv corialty l didn't expect. Trooly
them are great men. They devel-
ope degree NV adaptability to cir
cumstances wich / didn't look for.
I really bleeve If I'd a told EN- that
it wood hey good efeck to kiss
the niger babies all around, that
they'd a done it. But I shared EN-
this. There is such a thing cz lay
ing it on too thick.
But all this wuz spilled the next
day. There wuz an eggstraordina-
rily heavy mail that day. In addi-
ton to the paper Pollock, the Hi
nois store keeper takes, there wuz
s others, and to my surprise they
wuz all directed to niggers. "Wat
is this" thot | to myself. "Hev
the Ablishnists Nv the North deter
mined upon proselytin these men,
and are they going to food this
country with their incendiary read
in? Ez a federal officer its my
dooty to look into the matter p
Jist imagine my delirious joy at
finding that they wuz Democratic
paprrs from Moo York and Ohio
"Thank Heavenl" sed I, "Our
people hey awakened to a sense Nv
the necessity NV doing sutin," and l
handed the papers out to EN- with
impressive words, exhortin Nv EN- to
read EN-, ez they wuz rooth, and
nothing but the trooth.
I ruther think they red EN-, for
from that time out they avoided me,
ez though l he'd the plague. If l
wuz agoin down the street and wun
Nv EN- wuz a comm up he'd cross
the street, and the pecooyer expires
sion NV his countenance indicated
that it wuzn't my majestic presence
which avid him. They had loathin
depicted on their classick feechers.
Unable to endoor this l seezed one
NV EN- and asked why / wuz treated
thus2
Debility, he pulled out Nv his
pockit one Of them cussid North
ern papers, and openin it pinted,
Indignantly, to an editorial article,
1t wuz headed in this wise:
"shel niggers vote ?-Shel the
prowd Caucashen be redoost to an
ekality with the disgustin African
Is this white mans government
or not ?-Ameriky for white men "
Sed this Ethiopian, with his fin
gers on this headin, Pears like ez
eff dah wuzn't iist dat good feelin to-
wards us colored men on de part
OBJ de Dimoc'sy OBJ de Mort, dat dah
ought to be. Pears as dough up
dah wha de niggah amt got no
