Policy Of Mr.. NnsJy's "InstitOot.''

\ " lCu - III INC D}tlt NV Nenlucky, 4
APRIL %, 1867.
Times changes, and men changes
iist cz fast ez times. / should like to
see the times wich kin change faster
than kin, but this last shift hey bin
forced to make, ruther took my broth.
We held meetiu nv the Drecktors
and Faculty nv the Southern Military
and Classicle lnsttooi last evenin, to
decide wat course that instooshon wuz
TO take in the CRATE work nv surondin
the Ethiopian and attachin nv him to
us. In sich time ca this, ca 1 men
shend to Capt MePeter, it wont do
for our instooshens nv lcarnin to stand
back. These great levers, the nolders
NV public opinion, must be cz progies-
sive ez the progressiveist, and must
change like other things to meet the
requirements nv the times. We have
commenst our march into Africa, and
thus far hev we gone into tho bowels
Nv the land without impedimcnts, to
speak uy--let as pcrseyere
Bascom had a series NV rcsolooshuns
wich he desired to present He sed 1t
mite be looked upon ez strange that
he shood favor the concentrashun NV
free niggers at the Corners, but he he'd
good and suffishent reasons. First he
he'd faith that constant contact with
the Board wood bring en- to the pint
NV patronizing his bar, but if it didn't
he knowd perfectly well that tho Board
and Fakulty wood manage to git all
they he'd, for board and tooition, witch
he was perfectly certin he'd git in the
end. Wat he wanted wuz people here
to yoose illustration boIrered from
his biznis, the ollishels NV this Insti-
toot wuz the funnel through wich the
wealth nv all NV EN- wood be conduct
ed to his Golfers. / fell onto his neck
in rapcher and then vowd that | wuz
wilin to die for his good that cared
not how much nv other peoples money
run through me to him, eff 'twuz thus
dilooted. The resolushens presented
read ez follows
Resoiced, That the name NV the
Southern Military and Classikle Insti-
toot be changed to THE Ham and
Japheth Free Academy, for the de-
velopment nv the intellek NV all races,
irrespective NV color.
ResoiUed, That in maxim this change,
we, the Board NV Directors, do SO, as
sertin
l. That in this emergency we are
justified in doubtin whether Noer got
tlte Mt all, the statement IN the Skrip-
ters to that effect bein undoubtedly an
error NY the translators
.. That if he did get tite, he didn't
cuss Ham ut all.
3. That if he did euss Ham, the
cuss wuzn't intended to extend beyond
Canaan at the furthest, and hence his
descendants 50 scot free
l. That ef the cuss wuz really and
trooly intended to attach to all NV
Hams descendants, irrespective NV
color, To- the oud NY time, il haint NV
no eheck IN kentucky, ca that State
hez allus run irrespective Nv any code
'ceptin SIGH ez hez bin adopted by her
Legislacher.
That the theory that the nigger,
irrespective nv color, is Il beast, is
deloosion, a snare, which we hey allus
practically held, no matter what we
may, for effect, hev sed, ez the number
Nv mulattoes, to say nothin Nv them
still further bleached, in Kentucky,
abundantly proves.
6. That the Ethiopian, irrespective
NV color, is trooly man and broth
er, and the female Ethiopian, also IL
respective nv color, trooly woman
and sister.
Resotced, That the Institoot, whose
name IS now SO happily changed. shell
be conducted upon the principles nv
strict ekality, irrespective nv color.
Rcsolred, That when we reflect that
the bloated aristocracy NV England in
terdoost, and the early settlers Nv
Massachusetts sanksh1nd, slavery on
this continent, forcin it, really onto us,
we bile with indignashun towards en-
and kin hard y restrane ourselves.
Resotced, That at the tables, in the
choice ny rooms, and in all matters
where there is choice, the African
man and brother, irrespective NV color,
shell hoy the precedence.
Hesoived, The Oberlin College by
not giyin the sons NY Ham, irrespec-
tive nv color, the precedence, shows
clearly that it is actooated by narrer
minded prejudice wich deserves the
reprobashen NV every lover nv his
kind.
Resolved That tho Ethiopian, ire
spectiye nv color, kin change his skin,
and that his oder, Of he hoz any, is
rather pleasant than otherwise.
Resoired, That we look with loathin
upon the State north, wich, alluz pro-
fessin friendship for the noble black
man nv tie Cotton fields, refooze to
take him to their buzzums, irrespective
ny color.
Res0iUed, That eff Massachusetts, and
Vermont, and Northern Illinois, and
the Western Reserve, in Ohio, are
honest in their professions NV love for
the negro, they will come down with
donashuns TO assist in the completion
NV the Academy"
Deekin Pogram didn't know about
all this He he'd bin edicated in Ham
and Hayes, and wuz beeyer in One
sinus. He doubted. Sposen after ali
this concession the niger shood play
