(Which is in the Stait NV Kentucky,)
April 25, 1867. We are in continyooI
trouble dcwn here with these cuSsid
niggers They are harder to manage
than pigs. Pigs don't express their
pccoolyamties. Mule comes nearer
There is sich a method in their obsti-
nacy-sich a willful cussidnis that |
recly hev made up my mind that /
don't understand EN- at all. They cud-
die up to us ez kind ez bloomin
maiden does to her first adOred, and
they fling us just ez natral ez that same
guileless maiden does when number
two heaves in site. They behave well
for a season, aperently for no other
purpose than to enjoy our discontinue
when they finally throw US. | heV bin
a gittin suspishen thro me that they
amt half ez stoopid ez they look, and
that, after all, we arc not fur from the
trooth when we say in our resolOoshens
that they are the ekals Nv the whites.
Why shOodcn't they be? All l., why in
deed? Why shooden't the niger boy
wich is now crossin the street, wich
hez Deekim Pogram's feechers ez like
ez photograff, hev ez much sense ez
the Deckin? | hev eggsamined into
the pedigree Nv that nigger, and | find
that his mother he'd the hawtiest and
best blood nv VirginnY coursin toomul
chusly thro her vens-and that stock
the Pogram mix cOoden't materially
depreciate in one generashen.
[ he'd the niggers of the y Roads
very handsomely in tow up to yister
day. | he'd EN- attendin services last
Sunday at the meetin-house, and by
private arrangement he'd EN- seated
miscellaneously among the awjence.-
Deekin Pogram he'd wench, which
weighed at least 250 pounds averdu-
poise, atween him and his wife, while
four other niggers ornamented his pew.
Bascom with alacrity consented TO
three, and Elder Gavitt provided seats
for four 1t wuz pleasin site White
and black wuz alternatid like the spots
on checker board-niggers and whites
wuZ spread out together like the fat
and lean in pork, and ez | seed it
Good hardly rcstrane my emOshuns.-
There before be wuz the rcgenorashun
Nv the Democratic party-there wuz
what wuz to bring US out Nv the vally
and shadder Nv death into wich we
he'd fallen, up on the high ground Nv
offishel life. | preached that memra,
bic day from two texts, to wit: tv
one blood did he make all the nashens
Nv the earth,' and All ye are breth
ren,' and | GRATED a movin discourse
| demonstrated with great fervOr the
lOOnacy NV the idea that the Almighty
wood take the trouble to create two OF
more races when one wood do ez well
-wich idea is aIluz we'll received in
this region All men form their idea
of the Deity somewhat from them
selves, and | never knowd a COnfedrit
Cross Roader to make two things wen
one wood anser | refuted the theory
advanced by some writer's that ther
wuz moro than one head to the race
by quotin the texts wich treated Nv
the creashun of Adam and Eve, anC
demolished the Ham doctrine at site
Ef,' sed |, 'Noer did cuss Ham anc
condemn Canaan to be servant unto
his brethren, how do we know that
our coIOrcd brethren and sistern is tn,
descendants Nv Ham and Canaan? !
may be us Cor all we know. Is it hi
color? Is not black jest ez convenien
a color ez white?'
More so, murmured Mrs Pogram
half asleep, more so-it don't show
dirt
rs it his shape? Oh, my brethren
amt handsome man, ror wood
exactly anser for model for Apoller
Eff beauty or comeliness, or shape, OF
style, is to decide the pint, may the
Lord help US Is it his smell? My
brethren, the New York World asserts
that the nigger haint no smell, and et
he hez, why shoodent he hev? Stand
in under the common flag Nv our coun
try, with his hand upon that magma
! charta, the DeIllarashen, and his beam
in eye turned exultinly toward oul
nashnul emblem, the Eagle, shall no
our Afrikin brother be allowed to smell
list ez he chooses? Ef smell must b,
uniform then let our Government es
tablish Burow Nv Perfoomery to
wunst. Besides, take high religion
grounds in this matter. Eff he he
a natural odor the Lord gave it to hin
! Let US not fly in the face of the Lor
by CONDEMN it. Judge not lest we b
Judged The odor NV the coiored gel
tleman or lady is the work Nv tn
Lord-the odor Nv yoor unwashed fec
is yoor own-wich shood stand th
highest?
My brethren and sistren, | at
