us! Il 1t his smell? My brethren, the
New York World ASSERTS that the Mig
ger haint no smell, and ef he hes, why
shoodent he bev? Standin under the
Common flag NV our country, with bis
nand upon that magma chsrta, the Dek-
larashen, and his beamin eye turned ex-
ultinly toward our nAshnel emblem, the
Eagle, shall not our Afrikin brother be

I we be judged. The odOr NV the colored

Lord-the odor NV yoor unwashed feet is

My brethren and ssterr, 1 acknowl-

bee lite. Sence the passage Nv the Mill

found out all these things sence that oc-

that it wood hey "a good efteck to kiss the
Niger babies all around, that they'ds
done it. But spared em this. There
il such thing ez laying it on TOO thick.
But ali this wuz spilled the next day.
There wuz an eggstra0rd!nsriiy heavy

there wuz eight others, aud 10 my sur
prise all directed to niggers. Wat is

cd the papers out to EN- with impressive
words, exhortin NV en- to read EN-, eZ

Irrther thini. they read EN-, for from
that time out they avoided ne, ez though

Delibiltly, he pulled out NV his pocket

Wat Good say? Wat Good L do?-
There il wuz in black and white, and
from papers whose Dimocrisy Good nor

The nigger stalked hawtily and proudly
away in one direckshen, while Isneaked

l hev one word to say to our brethren
in the North. Yoo'r ioublin our troubles,
and maxim our burdens harder to bear.
Why can't ,yoo understand common
sense? Wat hurt wood higger suffrage

Can't 700 see il? We cant play the
ssme game on the niggers that we used
To play onthe sturdy yeomunry NV Berks
