To Jefferson Davis, late President uv The
the tate Southern Confederacy The un-
dersigned,yoor ardent admirers who follered
wlilinly yoor lead in the late tour to the
South took after addishnal rites, wich un-
fortnitly RESULTED In the loss NV sich NV 'em
ez we he'd, beg leave to tender yoo ez a tes-
timony nv their esteem, the Presidency NV
the Ham and Japheth Academy for the de-
velopment nv the intellect NV all races ire
spcctiye NV race or color, NV wich l hevthe
honor to be one NV the Fakulty
We woorshipt yoo before yoor ontimely
capcher in female apparel, for dignity with
wich yoo bore yoosrelf doorin yoor long
and unconstitoosshnel incarcerashen in a
Federal bastile, and yoor hawty though sill
ent asscrshen NV the natral sooperioriiy of
the SOUTHERN MAN doorin the annoyin per-
ceeding wich endid in yoor Triumphant re-
lease from yoor abasht prosecooters, and
we fell that in yoor hands the intrests NV
the Institoot will be entirely safe.
Many reasons impel us to this course /:
Ffrst-We assoom that yoo are poor in
this worlds goods. Troo yoo he'd ocens Wv
money passin thro the Treasury doorin the
fratisdle struggle forced onto us by the
North, but wat chance he'd yoo for steelin,
with Benjamin and Mallory and them fell
lows with yoo, who he'd he'd the benefit NV
practice doorin Pierce and Bookannon's
administrations, A man coodent make
days wages speculatin in a Treasury wich
them mem mon he'd gone through.
Sccond-Yoo wood be nv benefit to us.
With yoor name at the head Nv our faculty,
the Northern Democracy wood shell out
ther stamps with lberality never before
witnest, and the Institoot wood be endowed
heftier than any similar instooshn in the
country. The Kings name is tower NV
strength Remember that the Dimocricy
Nv the North give the excl Vallandigum
$4,000 in ten cent contribushens. Eff
they'd do that for him, and sich, wat wood
emit they do for yoo ? The greater swallers
up the lesser. There never will be sich a
favorable opportoonity for yoo to become a
ten-center, which is tsooly equivalent to
bein q hed-center ~ .p.
Ez a matter nv coorse you will hev OBJ
jeckshnns. KNOWN wat they will be, we
anser sum in advance
|. The Incomplete state ofthe H,stitoot.
We acknowledge that 1t isn't in sich
state NV completedniz ez we Good desire
Not to put too fine pint onto it, 1t aint
built at all. But the corner stun is laid
There's good deal in that. A corner-stun
is.a good thing. The corner-stun Nv the
lnstitoot is laid. From the layin NV corner
stuns great results follow. President John
son laid corner-stun at Chicago, and your
release followed. He didn't get very far
into the affecshuns NV the people North, but
he got you out nv Fortress Monrre. .Jist
let us fling our banner to the breeze with the
name nv ~. Davis onto it, and how
quickly wood the means to finish the Insti-
toot be forthcomin All, indeed Ther
wood be tournaments held all over the
South in its behalf. The Knite Nv the Sore
Eyes wood tilt agin the Knite NV the Crop
ped Ears; the Knite Nv the Bandy Legs
wood run course and be gloriied again the
Knite NV the Released Chief, for its benefit,
and the Queens NV Love and Beauty wood
bid EN-, more fervently than ever before, to
lay their fish poles in rest and run their course
at the Ingy Rubber Tecthing Rings and do
their devours manfully, in sich cause
Ther would be fairs held in Moo York for
this fund, and G. Chancey Burr and Henry
Clay Dean wood deliver lekters all over the
North in behalf, ,workin double benefit,yiz:
aflordin us little money, Burr clean paper
collars and Dean clean socks. In fact the
coz Nv the i'll success the Institoot hez met
with thus far may be found in the fact that
ther haint bin nobody connected with it but
me. The Southern Democrisy don't take to
me kindly coz they see me every day--the
Northern Democrisy hcv no confidence in
me becoz they know wuz originally one NV
them.
2. Its name, indicatin ez it does, the
institooshen admits the ijee uv Nigger
Ekdtity. objeckshen kin be easily
ansered. The name wuz, originally, the
"Southern Military and Classikle Institoot,"
and the title expressed fairly its objects.
That's it yit, and nothin shorter. The
change of title wuz strategy. The change
wuz Pickwickin in the most comprehensive
meanin Of the world. 1t wuz done for ef-
iec. upon the Elhiopian. They hay votes
