PosT OFFIs, CoNFEDRIT X ROADS (Which
is in the State NV Kentucky, January 25th
lsGS.-Thc Corners met last night to con-
slider the situashen NV the country, and in
view NV the impendin crisis, it wuz voted |
that be instructed to pen address to A.
johnson, setting forth the troubles TO wich
he hez brot lis, and sejestin remedies. The
Corners meets frckently. In fact, when
cash runs low, and Bascom rcfoozes to
trust, we hold politikle meetin. 1t acts ez |
stimulent and takes the place of our nat |
eral sustenance. Very comfortable. Thus |
empowd, wrot ez follows, wich will, !
doubt not, make sensashcn when itreach-
es Washington.

| The Democracy NV Confedlrt Y Roads,
wich is in the State Nv Kentucky, represen-
ting the Democracy NV the rest NV the State,
and NV the country ez well, cannot hold
their peace no longer. They must speek or
bust. They herd the news, and there hez
bin nothn but weepin at the Corners since.
Bascom, that sterlin patriot is sheddin
pearls by the bucket-full, Deekin Pogram
weeps not in drops, but in streams, and ez
for me, yoo woodent believe tho amount
of pockit handkerchers | hev consumed.
Never hez ther bin sich u moist time at the
Corners, never hev we lived in sch an at
mosphere Nv dampnis
| shel speek plainly. am not afeerd to
speek. You cant remoove me. The tenur
NV oflis act pertects Inc and yoo can't re-
move me. Therefore / speek.
The Corners feels itself outraged. When
the Corners hook stock in you, the Corners
sposed yoo he'd nerve cnuff to run the Ad-
ministrasles soorself. The Corners felt that
her intrexh wuz safe in yoor hands. We
to wurst .ssmmenct operatin from that
standpoint Deekin Pcgram got his niggers
together, ssrA NV EN- ez hedn't bin sacritist
at diilereAt ZINES, and commenst wallupin
NV EN- ez Nv yoar, and the others in this
visinity give theirn the opshen NV quietly
submittin to ther inevitable fate or bein shot.
) Wat wuz the result? The Freedmens Burow
, come in, and them niggers, instd of being
J made servants unto their brethren, hev bin
permitted to accumulate property and live in
all respects jist ez tho they wuz white men
: Nv the dominant race Again this injustice
we held up our hands, and yoo hev made
I, many passes towards rectifyin it,but to what
avail? Sich week.-Mrs. never before disgrace
: ed the hlstry Nv Amcrikin politiks. Yoo
y KEEP Stanton in place ontil the voice NV an in
n dignant Democrisy demanded his removal
n Then wuz yoor opportunity Ther wuz Dim
ocrats who wood hev took it. Ginral Steed-
;. man or Ginral Rosso wood either NV en-
. hey bin glad TO serve the country in that
a caparsity but blindly yoo rushed upon fate
L by putin in that place Grant. Grant whose
f hands is stained with Southern blood, which
II he haint washed off. Grant, the Ablshn
candidate for the Presidency! Grant, who
/. by cconomisin at the rate NV about 1925, ,000,.
600 per annum demonstrated to the country
the stealth that wuz goin on in the other de
/ partments. Grant who is ez much worst

A. is superior to taller candle! OH, wo

And furthsT, ii wuz me who prokoored 0
nj yoor tirst srp, the only endorsement yo
IT. ever got fSem Grant. All along the ron
"a West yoo md Seward he'd bin endeavori
I"e IN vain to git some expression from Gran
oi What yoo did not care, but 700 coodcnt g
the it. He stood up ez immovablc ez Il stul
