ez they had declared the nigger a man,

Elder Gavitt blessed the Lord for this
day. He felt like soundin the loud tim

from him and enlisted in the Federal ar

at Fort Piller and Petersburg and Fort
Wagner and Port Hudson where their
cussed blood was split that the same
quantity Nv pure white blood mite be
saved, settled in Ohio, and that, notwith-
standln al this, they meet there just about
the same treatment they wood hey ex-
perienced he'd they staid in Kentucky;
his soul expanded and he could only re-
lieve hisself by hollering helleloogya! Its
more than he had hoped for. His cup
waz sloppin over with blessin, and if he
shood be taken hcntz to-nite-he woodent
complain.

the regular thing here, and presented

WHEREAS, The Dmiocrisy NV Ohio,
with a glorious company NV Ablishnists
follerin NV EN-, hev for the time at least,
squelched the impious proposition to give
the nigger, witch amt fitted for it by ed
jucashen, the ballot therefore be it.
Resozved. By the Dimocracy NV the
Confederit x Roads, wich is in the State
NV Kentuky, that we sent greetin to our
brethren Nv Ohio, and extend to EN- our
hearty congratulations on the result, and
earnestly hope ere long the. few remain
ing pints Nv. difference between us and
them may be softened down, and that we
may yet live and love together.
Resolved. That after this manifesta-
shen Nv returnin reason, we are satisfied
that there amt sich cussed site Nv diff
ference after all between modrit Ohio
Republican and X Roads Democrat; not
enutf to keep EN- from fratcrnizin on al
most anythin. 7s
ResoEced That ez Ohio hez very prop
erly ,refoozed to give her niggers the bal
lot, how kin her Representatives in Con-
gress insist on forcin us in Kentucky to
do it? We ask in thunder tones.
Resoiyed. That the thanks. NV the
Dimocracy NV this seckshin Nv Kentucky
be extended to the Repulikin members
NV the Ohio Legislacher who so nobly
come to the reskoo NV our more immejit
friends in that body,.ez from this time
out we shell be able to keep our niggers
here, inezmuch ez the nigger who would
run from Kentucky to Ohio, after this
ackshen, would prove himself to be a
most eggrejis loonatic.
