shel hey niggers votln at the Corners
We shell hev, at our poles, all NV the
black cusses who live between here and
Garrettstewn, votin as regler as though
they wuz white men. We shell hev
them defIin the, sacred ballot-box ez
though they wuz not Nv cussid race.
see dark lines atore our poor State! They
will hereafter hold the land witch they
hev bought, and wich they live on, by a
sure tenure, and they will increase and
multiply. Pollock viii buy their pro-
doose and they will work and get money.
This money they will lend to us-for we
must have it to sustain life-and they
will take mortgages onto our lard.
when / say orr, mean Deekin Pogram
and sich.) Ez we never work ourselves,
and will not have, under the present ar
rangement, the means of compellin the
labor necessary to our support, we kin
never paw, and the result will be. this
beautiful land NV ourn witch we so deerly
| love, will pass out NV the hands uv the
stronger and better race into the control
nv a weaker and less powerful people.
The Deekin wuz remarkin suthin to
this effect, when Joe Bigfer remarkt in
reply, that the Deekin had better throw
himself onto the sympathy NV his sons.
"Why they can't work any more than
KIM" sed the Deekin.
81 don't mean your white sons !'' sed
this terrible Bigler. "1hey amt nv no
akkount. But in the nigger settlement
at Garrettstown you have more than
twenty who wood"
The poor Deekin rushed out of the
room, while Rigler latt his most feendish
laf.
The people will be deprived of their
innocent amoosements. This Grant will
send on armed hirelins, clothed in oius
bloc, with muskits and sich, who will
prevent our shootin niggers, and who
will perfect on their farms and in their
shops the ojus Northerners who hev set
tied in our midst. We shell see the gel
lorious Southern system decline stidily
and shoorly. The whippin posts will
rot and the stox will decay-the yelp Of
dorgs will no more be heered, and the
cheerful crack of the pistol, and the
shreek of the man wat got his Cruel will
no more be heered in all the land. Bas-
com, afterh he hcz the few farms still un-
mort gagged in the vicinity, will close, and
go TO Louisville and embark into
wholesale grosery trade and jim the
church, and give literally to the Sunday
Skools; his grosery will fall into decay
and the sine will hang by one hinge. We
shel see churches and skool-houses, fac
trys and villages everywhere. The Po-
gram place NV 1000 acres will be divided
up into twenty farr,s, and onto them vii
be the bus:lin Moo Yorker, the cool, cal
culatin Yankee, the stiddy, hard-work n
German-who will display his groveln
ndcher by workin himself instead of fore
in niggers to DO it for him. We shell be
run over with school-marms, deluged-
with academies, plastered over with
n9osepapers, STAINED with ma :hinery,
drove crazy with the whirr, crush and
crash NV mowin machines and reapers
And ther will be cheese made at the Cor
ners. Pennibacker's dlstillery will be
Curned into cheese factory, and we,k
whey will run where now the geneI o is
high-wines flash along the troughs Their
will be no rectifyin at the Corners-the
hog pens will be abolished, and in ther
sted will be skool-houses. And methinks
see in my mind's-eye Horasho, the spir-
it, the CHEST, of the departed Pogram,
tor he won't survive it long,) a hoverin
over the scene, ez Hamick's father did.
The blessed shade will look in vain for
his honse-on the spot wher itstood will
be an academy. He will turn to Bas-
CONS, but there he will find deestrict
Skool. "To Pennibackers - he will g ,sp
in spirit whisper, and with spiritooal
smack nv his spiritooal lips he vii how
er over it, but the smell NV cheese in the
place nv the-strengthenin odors in which
he delites, viii send a spiritooal shudder
through him. A COAST of teer will run
down bis spiritual nose, linger for min
nit at the tip like a dew drop on the rose,
and fall Then will the dissatisfied gost
demand to be taken back to purgatory,a
place less tryin to his nerves. 49,. :.
Deekin Pogram hez only frightened
up wunst. A thought flashed over his
mind wich gave him comfort for min
nit. ''lsn't there Booth for Grant ez
ther WIZ for Linkin 2'' askt he.
"Ah!' sed |, in alarm, would you kill
Grant to have Colfax in his place? We
might kill Colfax, says you. Afats spo-
sin they'd elect Sumner ez President NV.
the SENT! Kill Sumner? Good Lord,
no They'd then elect Butler Speaker
of the House, and he can't be killed.
No no We he'd better bear the ills
we hev than fly to them we know not NV.
Its gone. All is up with me and us. |
shel stay in Kentucky for the present,
tho wat may become NV me, the Lord on
ly knows.
