On the question OF niger ekality, found
em at a most deliteful heat They he'd seen
the terrors Nv it, and know'd whereof they

But on consultin a lawyer, he didn't OWN

vicinity. He he'd not only daughter, but
a farm. Ny son sores. Labor he despises
as a oceupashen only fit for serfs. He pro-
posed to WOO this nigger's daughter. 1t
was a struggle with me- My son margin

Ham in her vsnesl But Jimuel, my son,
sir, threw dirt in my eyes. About sixty

him as an inferior bein-loaded in his abb
normal condition with responsibilities wich
he could not be expected to discharge, /

Jimnel mentioned the matter to the Etheo-

inferior wouldn't mind the Inien, but
there amt none It's niger or nothin.
Give him the ballot sir, end what'li distin-
guish US? Speek with a angels tongue
onto this theme, beg.
The meetin wuz a glorious one, and MY
speech one Nv my most movin efforts My
