time they wuz tryin to bust 1t, hev bi
withheld from EN-.
The idea that the Southern people ar
hostile to the niggers and wood oppres
elm ef they he'd the power is absurd. The,
hev growed up in our midst, and we hey
bin accustomed from our childhood to lool
upon EN- with kindness. Troo we i'm
ported cat o'nine tales and he'd stocks, anC
niger dorgs, which made IL lively fer EN-
but these were incidental to a Patrlarkl'
system. They were blood nv our blood
and flesh Nv our flesh. No SoutherneI
ever sold his own mulatto children ceptiT
when he was short Nv means. or he'd more
niggers than be wanted. We still feel the
same toward EN-. Ez no troo Southern
gentleman will ever work with his OWE
bands, without their labor the lands Nv the
South wouldn't perdoose to any alarmir
extent. The races are highly necessary to
each other, pertikelerly to US, There must
be sweatin ez we'll ez eaiin in this world
and so long ez we do the eatin we are
willin they shell do the sweatin. In this
way we kin adjust the relashens of the two
races on basis nv mutual advantage. Ell
| given wat we he'd before, supreme control
and assendency, we shell treet the niggers
with kindnis, iorbearance, and iusts. Here
in Kentucky we hev never bin disfran-
chised, and the niger hez never had a
vote, and here the niger hez that degree

At this pint NV readin the document an
lpterrupshen okkurd. Their wuz yell on
the street, and we all rushed to the door
to see wat it VIM about it. 1t wuZ a mere
nothin-"Sit down" sed |, tits nothin. A
| Niger and load of water melons. He
probably refused TO give credit for his
melons, and-thunder, he's down, and the
Indignant populis is goin for him. Here
comes his wife with half the Corners after
her! Down she goes-that stun wuz well
throwd Ha! the niger strikes the man
wat throwd the rock witch knockt his wife
down. That seels his fate? Goodbye,
niger! See how genteely they rig the
rope and how elegantly he swings. His
bodyll lie all mouldy in the ground, but
his sole (ef the Prognathous races hev
soles) will go marchin on"
"But," asked the Injianian, snow that
the mothers brains is knoct out, and the
fathers hung, wat'll the children do WITCH
l see cryin over the corpse?
s" That's nothin to US. They are in an
abnormal condishun, and they must suffer
for the sins Nv Their father Ham wich lookt
at Noer when he wus drunk. He'd that
niger bin content to have lived ez God
and naCher intended him to have lived, all
wood hev ben well. But he must be free,
torsooth. and this is the result. He must
try to control his own ackshuns, forgettin
that there is material antagonism alween
the Caucashen and Afrikin races, witch kin
only result in such conficks ez 700 hev
witnist. 700 hev seen specimen ov the
ieelin that pervales, wher the Niger is
free-wat must it be further South, where
the black cusses vote? But to resoom:
=" The Southern people, in our opinion,
regard the questions Nv slavery and seces-
sion ez settled by the war, and they hev no
inclination to try EN- over sgin. Slavery
is dead as Joolus Ceeser--the mig
ger is free man, and he'll be SO
forever. All the whites ask is that
they shall control EN-. They insist and
justly too, that they shell hev the right to
manage the inferior race. They want, and
will hev, the right to fix their wages, their
hours nv labor, their outgoins and their in
eomins. Nv course the Southern lea must
be carried out. There must be no such
nonsense ez skools among EN-, for wat
does labrer want NV that learnin witch
half nv us, his sooperiors, havnt got
Neither must they own land, for that wood
OMIT EN- from dischargin Their material SER
Wis. But the power must be in our hands.
The people nv the South earnestly desire
peace, but her people feel that they cant
prosper so long ez control is in the hands
NV the Diggers and the few carpet-baggers
which hev Invaded us. The South will
never be prosperous so long ez the mass of
the men representa- her intelligence are
disfranchised; so long ez"-
Here wuz another iuterrupshen. "Please

brother sweet lad Nv nine, splitting out
his tobacco so ez to permit him to speak
distinctly, "Issaker wants you to come over
and read for him a letter which he hez

"Tell Issaker, sonny that ! hewitt time

John Morrissey or Fernando Wood accept |

TO ask their intelligent supporters wat

the level Nv the niger is.abhorrent.
Ez for secession we hev given that up
also. We can't be expected to relinquish
our CRATE principle Nv States rites, nor kin
we CIV over the rite of withdrawal from
government which don't SCOT us. Nv coarse
we shell not attempt withdrawal ez long ez
Ablishnists control the bayonets. for we
amt strong enough. But shood we decide |
to withdraw, and coertion be attempted,
we shell nv coarse resist. But we won't do |
probably. The organizations in the |
South, which is interspersed with muskits |
and SIGH, is simply for self protection agin |
niggers and Northern whites.
In conclooshen. we wish 700 to ashoor |
the people NV Injinny that all we want
is 'peece, otis, and general restorashen
NV things, and that we amt ct all par

konkered people, the abroeashen Nv all the
amendments adopted since |

the reinstatement Nv the South with all
her rites. The government, ez act Nv
