fesscr ?" Il
: "Not eggsackly that" returned L
not KNOWN what he wuz driven at
"but ez Hevin ordained the nigges t,
be inferior to us, and serve us, it look,
} rather dangerous to us"
"Give him a chance to rise? That.
what yoor gettih at, | see. / am, anG
always wuz Dimocrat, ez 700 knoo
: but l don't shudder from that cause
not any. ! hev faith in the Lord
wich yoo appear to lack, witch is strange
considerin yoor profeshun. Eff my
colored friends here wuz ordained by
the Almighty to alluz okkepy an in
ferior position to us, why they'll do il
anyhow, onless, indeed, we degrade
ourselves below their level. Ef
understand yoor idea, it is that the
proud Caucashun is the only favored
race,which fixes its own posishen itself
but that all the other races he'd places
assigned them, wich Godalmity hevin
fixed, they can't pass. That bein the
case, what's the yoose, Perfesser, NV
our foolin away our time a tryin to
strengthen his laws by an act NV ours?
Eff the Almighty fixed it so, kin We
do it any better than hep"
"But sposn the nigger eff we don't
keep him down by law, shood rise
above u.s." ... .tI
"I shood unanimously conclood that
ther he'd bin mistake in the figgers,
and that we wuz after all the suns NV
Ham, and they the sons NV Japhcth.
How wood you like that? But that
amt wat ails us. There, Peefesser,
amt where our danger is. Dimocrisy,
like a man with tape-worm, carries
the elements of its own destruclshun.
Missegenashun is watts sappin the
foundashuns NV the party. Agreein
with you that the niggcr's place is fix
ed, and that the Dmocrisy coodent get
along mint without the nigger, /
here utter my solumn warnin the con-
tihyooal lcssenin fthc race, because
that race is our rock, and unto, that
we stand. Wat sense is in wastcn
our capital, or ruthcr delutin it?"
"Wat do you mean ?" askt l, not
gettin at the drift NV wathe wuz driv-
EN- at.
Mean! My meanin is plain. The
blackcr the niger is the further he is
below us--the whiter he is the nearer
our equcl he is.
In this calculashun we don't take
intelligence or virchoo, or anything of
the kind into account, but percecd up
on the hypothesis that a devilish mean
white man is considerable better than
a smart and honest niger. There
fore any drop NV white blood ina mig
gers veins makes him Just one drop
less Questionable. Look at the spec
linens which l hev brot with me to
illustrate my pint. The light colored
niggers will rise.
And every cusscd one NV em got up
ez eff ~ magic, and | saw to wunst
what he was goin for.
"ioo see, Perfesser / hev here
twenty-five spilled niggers. Every
one NV EN- ought to hev been the son
or daughter nv two pure niggers, but
they amt. This ones mother for in
stance" and he laid his hand on the
shoulder NV likely quadroon NV eigh-
teen years, "wuz wunst the property
NV Dcekin Pogram, wich circumstance
accounts for her hevin the Pogram
nose and general cast NV oountenance
to an alarmin degree"
Their was piercin shrcek heard,
and Mrs. Pogram was carried out faint
in, and the Dcekin turned ez red ez
lobster, while Bigler, ez solemn cz a
Judge, went Oh a
"Th:s girl wuzunst the property Nv
Deekin McGrath, who is, / notis, here
to-nite. Melissy stand up" sed he,
and likely mulatto woman ariz.
"You will notis,' sed he, that Melissy
is rather dark, while her gal wich
you see afore 700, is quite half
lighter. The race bleached out con-
siderable on Deekin McGrath's place.
] hcv in my recollections ten or fif-
teen more NV various shades, who hev
the McGrath face; but"
Mrs. Dcckin McGrath, utterin a
shreck NV rage, swung out of the
church, while the Deelin to wunst
assumed the color NV his fellow Dec
kin, Pogrlm. h.l
81 mite 60 on, but wherefore? You
all see the pint. l can show you in
this colleckshun which / hev picked
up, the pecoolyer teachers nv the Din
geses, the McPelters, the Bascoms, and
every family around these parts--that
is the feechers NV the male members
nv em. But sencc the emancipation,
l have notist that this thing hez come
to sudden endin. / hev notist THAT
sence the niggers hov owned them
selves, there aint no more NV this mix
ter. Yoo purpose, | suppose, agin
redoosin NV EN- to their normal con-
dishun, andmakin NV EN- servants and
maid servants. Ef this is done, let
me cntreat yoo brethren to stop the
bleachin process. Eff you hev any re-
gard for the Dimoerasy don't tolerate
! it no more. The moment q half
white nigger is born, yoo can't enslave
only halfuv him, for only half comes
under the cuss, and only half under
the laws again niggers. That one
half keeps down to the Ham level,
