alive, but ther wasn't that docility
among the niggers that I expected.
These cusses, ez soon ez they saw me,
and learned my bizness took to the
woods. and we had to go after em to
electioneer em, wich the Democrisy
did takin dorgs with EN-. It wuz a
cheerin site to see em follerin the black
cusses thro the swaps, the moosic NV
the yelpin nv the dorgs cheerin us on
to our work. Two or three refused to
be talked to, and their bodies, like John
Browns wuz left dangling in the air,
while ther soles went marchin n on.
We believe in every man choosin for
hisself, and in the greatest freedom Nv
speech and opinion, providing alluz
there aint nothing inceniary in it. Ez
everythin that's sed agin us we count
inceniary it simplifes matters wonderfy.
/ got one good meetin NV EN-, how
ever, too wich / was indebted to Moo
York dry goods merchant, who is here
maxim strenuous effort to re-establish
his trade wickedly and croely broken
up by the wicked unpleasentnis wich
Linkin Exaggerated by resistin the South
in 1861. He is conservative who is
after trade, and consekently is willin to
do anything. He told meiuv niger
funeral to take place in the afternoon,
and suggested that score Nv US arm
ourselves, surround EN- and keep EN- in
whether or no until l made my speech.
" So ankshus am l." he sed to d retail

wuz sellin, by a singler coincidence,

that / will guard one NV the doors

Yankees all the time, and pronouncin
COW caow," the while / notist it,
but it mattered not to me. Why shood
we be partikler ez too the tools we
yoose ? When we shake hands with
sich, can't we put on gloves
We surrounded the church and noti-
fed EN- that they coodn't pass till we
wuz .thro, and commenced my speech
and spoke it thro. I insisted that in
terests lay with their kind, good masters
that they he'd bin previously deceived
in sposin that there wuz any antag-
onism between the races. Who, askt,
gave the eofored man the right to vote
in Moo York ? The Dimocrisy. Who
gave the colored man the rite to stay

Vice President he'd nig-or rather a
colored woman for wife, wich wood

and consistently worth our while to as

At this pint pert mulatto, remarked
that he he'd a word to say, and / gave
place to him. He wuz himself a con-
servatest kind. He shood vote with
his white brothers cheerfully, but not
for the reasons wich the speaker (mean-
in me) he'd given. He shood do it from
a higher, holier motive than any ad-
vanced. He shood do it from a higher,
holier motive than any advanced. He
shood do it from motives Nv consangu-
ninity. He he'd alluz bin a humble
nigger, bleevin himself to be one Nv an
inferior race. but sence he he'd bin free
he had bin serrchin his pedigree. He
had been agreeably surprized. He
found he he'd the best blood NV Virginny
coursin thro his veins. The Confedrit
candidate for Congress wuz his half
brother, halleloogy, and he wuz closely
related too two-thirds NV all the sed
candidates supporters, bless de Lord
and NV course he'd note for him, for de

blood is wuss nor an infdel He felt
grateful to the conservative candidates
family. Troo, he wuz half nigger, but
he prided hisself on the tother half.
He felt all the pride Nv race nv wich
he he'd heerd so much. His ancestors

bly, the comrades nv Washington, and
he won't degrade hisself by mxin with
men NV no family from the North. He
wuz poor, but his proienitors ION his

Lord, and he stood on blood.
