The Radical Change-A Slight ALI
teratiOn in the Name and Policy
of MIR. Nasby's ''HmStitOOt.''

April 22 1867.
Times change, and men change tist ez fast ez
times shood like to see the times wich kin
change faster than kim but this last shift hev
bin forced to make, ruther took my breth. 1t
wuz sudden The Connecticut eleckshun didn't
do us much good after all. We felt we'll over it
for perhaps day. but ez we begun to git other
indicashens from the North, we didn't jist see
how that little spirit wuz agoin to help us. Gin
cinnati went Ablshin stronger than ever-ChiCa-
90 ditto, and most everywhere the Democratic
roos ter was fattened. The cabinet, when they
heerd Nv Deekin Pogram's assault,upon the Mig
ger on the reject NV the intelligence NV the cleo
tion news, notified me ofishelly that repetishen
NV sich loonacy would be equivalent to a reeeet NV
my resignation even tho the post offs shood be
discontinued. 'The nigger vote must be cap
cherd. It's essenshel. Wade Hampton sez SO, ;"
wrote Randall to me, and reprmanded the Dee
kin for his recllessnss and borrowed four dollars
Nv Bascom, who is the only man in the vicinity
who hez any ready money, to make it all right
with him.
We held meetin Nv the Drecltors and Faculty
NV the Southern Military and Classicle Institoot
last eyenn to decide wat course that instOoshn
wuz to take in the CRATE work nv surroundin the
Ethiopian and attachn Nv him to us. In sich a
time ez this, ez menshend to Capt McPelter, it
wont do for our insto0shns NV learning to stand
back. These great levers, the moders of public
opinion, must be ez progressive ez the progress
siycst, and must change like other things to meet
the requirements NV the times. We hev COM
menst our march into Afrka and thus far hey we
gone into the bowels NV the land without impedi-
ment to speak uv-let us perseyere Let us cap
cher the Ethiopian, stink and all.
The meetin wuz held in the back room NV Bas-
com's OWN to the fact that 1t was rainin and the
roof NV the Post Offs leaks. he'd an appropria-
shen some time since from the Department for re-
pairs but bein in doubt whether it wuz intended
for repairs on the Post Offs or the Postmaster,
gave the primer the benefit nv the doubt and got
a new pair NV boots. Good better endoor the
site Inconvenience NV occasional rain, than to go
barefoot
made statement NV the ease and sejistid a
radcle change in the lnstitOot
Captain McPhelter agreed with me. He felt
that there hedn't bin that complete hearty recOg-
milton NV our Afrikin brethren WITCH they ought
to be. He had on several occasions allowed his
material vivacity TO git the better NV his prOodence
and he'd waded into EN- alarmin. The old lice NV
Ham and Hager and Onesimus he'd bin so drilled
into him in his yooth that he he'd to wrassle with
it to keep it in control and in spite Nv himself it
frekently got the better NV him. He setested that
the name Nv the Institoot be changed from
"The Southern Military and Classicle Insttoot, .
tn.g 1raf to
development NV the intellek NV all
races irrespective NV color"
That, he thot, wood anser the required end.
The colored gentlemen who choose to avale their
selves NV the privlgis afforded by this instltoo-
shun, when 1t is finished, kin find in this no cause
Nv complaint. They are recognized. They are
given the precedence. They stand first IN the
matter and foremost. Wat more kin they ask 7 q
Baseom he'd serleseuv resolooshuns wich he
desired topresent. He sed itmite be looked upon
ez strange that be shood favor the concentrashpn
Nv free nggers at the Corners, but he he'd good
and sufflshent reasons. First he he'd faith that
constant contact with the Board wood bring EN-
to the pint NV patronlzin his bar, but If didn't
he knowd perfectly well that the Board and Fax
uty wood manage to git all they he'd, for board
and tooition wich he wuz perfectly certin he d
git in the end. Wat he wanted wuz people here
Ito yoose a Illustration borrered from his biznis,
the oflishels NV this Institoot Wuz the funnel
through wieh the wealth NV all Nv EN- wood be
conducted to his Golfers fell onto his neck in
apcher and then vowd that | wuZ wilin to die
for his good that cared not how much nv other
peple's money run through me to him eff 1twuZ
thus dilooted. The resolushuns presented read
ez follows: H
Resolred That the name Nv the Southern Mill
tary and Classikle InsttOot be changed to "The
Ham and Japheth Free Academy, for the deyel-
opment Nv the inteleck Nv oil races, irrespective
NV color" H'f
ResOlred That In maxim this change, we, the
Board of Directors, do so, assertin:
1. That in this emergency we are justified in
doubtln whether Noer got lite atall the statement
In the Skripters to that effect ben undoubtedly an
error NV hetranslators.
2. That eff be did get tite be didn't cuss Ham at
all. " % = lL-"tA - OK 80
8. Thatef he did cuss Ham, the euss wuzn't
intended to extend beyond Canaan at the turthest,
and hence his descendants go scot free. r. .-r D.
4.hThatef the cursewuz really and trooly in
tended to attach to oil nv Hams descendants ire
spectiye Nv color, to the end Nv time it haint Nv
no eifeck in Kentucky ez that state hez aluz run
irrespective NV any code 'ceptin sch ez hez bin
adopted by her Legislacher.
g.. That the theory that the nigger, irrespective
nv color, is beast, is deloosion, q snare wich
we hey alluz practically held, no matter what we
NAV, for effect hev sed ez the number NV mulat-
toes, to say nothin nv them still further bleacEed
In Kentucky, Gbundantly proves. 4 IN. f.
l. &. That the Ethiopian, irrespective Nv color, is
troolv A man and brother and the female Ethi-
opian, also irrespective NV color, trooly woman
and sister. ~ 40 ~ eS} =
Resolced, That this Instltoot, whose name is
now so happily changed sllel.be conducted upon
the principles nv strict ekallty, irrespective NV
color. .t -5rgt..
ResOlred, That when we reflect that the bloated
aristocracy NV England iHterdoost, and the early
settlers NV Massachusetts sankshuned, slavery on
this continent, forcin it, really, onto US, we bile
with indignashun towards EN- and kin hardly
restrane ourselves. tA
Iesolped, That at the tables, in the choice NV
rooms, and In all matters where there is a choice,
the African man and BROTHER irrespective color,
shell hev the precedence.
Resoived, That Oberlin College, by not giving
the sons NV Ham, Irrespective NV color, the pre-
cedence, shows clearly that 1t Is actooated by
narrer-minded prejudice which deserves the rep
