Nasty as "a lecturer.


We take from the Chicago IfibGlas
the. following extracts from a report of
Nasby's lecture recently delivered in that
city: adf qza 1af -7ase aF3 20
ID. r. Locke, Esq, of the Toledo Blade,
better known as petroleum V. Nasty"
lectured last evening to full house before
the Young Mems Association, in Library
Hall. This well known humorist, whose
hits at the Democracy have been laughed
over throughout the country, is a modest
appearing man, Of about thirty,fve, who
prefers to talk with his pen rather than
with his tongue, and never made q public
appearance until this winter.
The subject was announced as" Cursed
be Canaan" and the point of the lecture
was hit at the Democracy in their con-
nection with the negro, and plea for inn
partial suffrage. sal ~ G34{sd seven 1850 /
The speaker began by saying that near
~ century ago the representatives Of the
American Colonies, in Congress assembled,
uttered these words: $50 -. !
We hold these truths to be self evident,
that all men were created equal, and en-
dowed by their Creator with certain Ina
lienable rights, among which are life, lib
erty, and the pursuit Of happiness" q"s
These words, he said, were penned by
Thomas Jefferson, the reputed father of
Democracy Should he rise from the dead
to-day, he would doubtless say of the pro-
geny that now claims that name, "It is a
wise father that knows his own son. ni /
He wrote those words when slavery was
profitable. Gould he have written them
eighty years later, he would doubtless have
said, "We hold these truths to be toEeqd6gy
selfevident, &c, and that among them are
life liberty and the pursuit Of niggers."
The word "White," which Mr.. Jefferson
forgot to use, had now a habit Of being out
to use it. It would be cons0ling to them
"suffer little sp]s5te children to come unto
me-" but, unfortunately, the Bible did not
read thus. afsE9 @o#-HaG aea ~2gsa
Mr.. Jefferson had undoubtedly over
looked the ninth chapter of Genesis, or he
would have changed his words. Could be
come to life now, he could not be elected
from the locality represented by the Hon.
john Morrissey. The constituents of that
gentleman dislike o niger SO much that
they would not drink with one--unless he
paid for the fluids. He had heard those
whose noses blossomed like q lobster and
whose toes stuck through their shoes, re-
peat with JUNCTION the words: "And
| Noah drunk of the wine and was drunken
--cussed be Canaan" i1e he8al0a 2 /
They neglected all the rest of the Bible
except this passage. They said that upon
the one act Of Noah in becoming intoxi.
Gated, and on awakening saying " Cursed
be Canaan; servant OF servants shall he
be-" rested the fate of the negro. Out of
that cup of wine came the Democracy.
He thought that Ham was pretty hardly
used in this case. He doubtless was 8
good-natured BOBBY, and seeing his father
IN his uncovered condition thought he
had a good thing Or the old man." He
did not see his fathers nakednoss at all.
But he was cursed, and became Niger.
out OF drunkenness came the, niger, and
out OF the niger Democracy. Had Noah
laid out his land into corner lots, or en-
gagged IN some other business, or had his
wine press broken, we should never have
had nlggers and the Democracy; we
never should have seen wagou-loads of
aged young women going to Democratic
meetings in the rural districts with ban
ners bearing the inscription, "Save us
from the Niggers," as if their age was not,
as a rule, sufficient to protect them; Or

a white man. In all ages of the world it
was found that the strong enslayed5 the
weak without regard to Noah. If the
strong wanted a newer of wood or a
drawer Of water they knocked him down
and pummelled the resistance out of him.
The speaker had never found any
proof that the negroes are descended from
Ham. s9z 5sfH 1901 90 a9&HI 2hl no
The great cry Of the Democracy was
that there is danger that the negroes viii
get control of the Government IL they
did, it was to be hoped that they would
