hampered by soldiers and sch and forced to the hui
milashen NV seein EN- ekal in all respex In short,
shell we under yoor administrator, hev the rite to
hang niggers and tar and feather Northern settlers
es we hev bin don or not That's the question our
people ask, and yoor depends their support
NV yoo The Corners is open to proposals The
Corners kin be sekoored to yoor administrator or
it kin be driven into an attitood Nv defiance,
| 1t hez bin sed that VOC are a sphinx. What a
sphinx is don't know, nor is ther any one in the
Corners who does But it must be suthin oius or
700 woodent hey bin so called. The great question
is, "are 700 going to continyoo to play sphinx 2?
Are 700 gen to continyoo in the groove into witch
700 hey sot yoorsef or are VOC going TO flop out
and fling yoorself into our trms ? That's the ques-
ton that's agitatin me and the Corners ez we'll
Ef / remember right the coneloodin sentence nv
yoor letter nv acceptance waz let US hev peeceW
l want peeee and so duz tho Corners. How is this
peeee to be obtained. Easy enuf Let Deekin
POgram hev his niggers to manage and control in
his own way, and he'll be at ipeeee Continyoo
Elder Pennibacker-who hez distilIery--in the
ofses Nv whisky inspector and collector of
internal reyeneo, wich p now holds and he'll con-
tinyco at peece 700 ka thus pacify these classes.
Don say that perhaps he other classes mite object
Possibly they wood It's Their objection that hez
made all the trouble Thus far. Bed they not object
ed, all wood hev bin at peece now. The niggers,
like the eel, hey bin yoost to be skinned, and more
Nv it won't hurt EN-. But think NV that old man
DeekiP Pograml Look at his gray hair, his fur
rowed cheeks, and his tottrina steps Is he to be
forced in his old age 10 stane his hands with labor
for the necessary sustepsnce ,wich since Baseom
quit trustin, kin only BIZ got with cash Is niggers
to wear better clothes than me? Shell Issaker Cav
lit who was never yoestto work be brot to it in the
flower Nv his youth m -staTi
We don't ask you to ,interierssin our behaf-we
only ask You to be ut peece yourself aud keep hands
off Sheathe the sword, and let U; hey peece. With
draw everything in tie shape Of soiery-stick to
the Presidency and nothing else, and We will take
care the rest. .7ur.Fa tt|.
Their are other tbitgs which 700 must do to re-
turn peece to this distracted country. Their kin be
no peece so long ez the Blars are out NV offs The
Blairs must hev places. A Government without
Blair into it is not legal Lakn failed to command
the respect NV the Blairs and where is Linkin p
Johnson lei the Blsirs go, and wat an Awful Ex-
ample Is heI Don't be afraid that they won't take
oils ander 700 They amt pertckele--theyd as
soon run yoor administrashun as ybody's. 700
kin git the support Nv the Blairs That Boon is
within yoor reach And likewise VOC kin git others
witch is jist as necessary. Steedman is waitin -
Rosso is wstin. Fuller is watin. Ross Nv Kan
sas and Doolittle-n fact all that noble army NV
marters witch followed the forchoons NV A. johnson
stand ready to support 700, on condshun that 700
support them. Take theln, u. s. Grant-take them
Don't despse my advice. Think NV havin the Blair
family kn0ckin at yoor door for four years. End
it now and forever.
For myself it isn't necessary to speek am al
most at the end of an eyentfullife Disappointment
hez done its work, aud in little time she'll 90
hence [ am victim Nv Irregular habits-wunst
when in an Ablishen basteel | wus deprived NV
liker for ten days, and wunst by mistake swaI-
lowed camphene for whisky. My CONSTRUCTION wuz
thus undermined. hev but few years more at
least and it don't matter where drag them out
But if my pathway to the toom Good be smoothed !
by continyOoance in the Postofce at the Corners,
it wood be a favor witch | shood approximate !
shood then be at peece. Likewise wood Bsscom, at
whose bar l heY an unliqudated account, and the |
citizens, ali NV whom hold my notes up hand for
small amounts, be at peece in the soothin hope NV
gittin suthin at some future day. ekko yoor sem
timents-let us hev peace hev indicated how it |
kin be done-will 700 follow that path or not? 1t !
is for 700 to choose.
