"Joseph, sed /, seein to wat this wur
leadin, 81 can tell it to EN- jist ez we'll"
"Not any, Parson. 1t must be read.
Elder Pennibacker, will you read itT
The Elder he'd left his specks to hum,
be sed, takin long pull at his hot
whisky to hide his confession.
"Ha." sed Joseph, "1t strikes me
that this is a jovyel party, to which to
lntrust rites on account NV their intelli-
gence. Jist one Nv EN- kin reed plain
print, and he's from Moo GerseyI Shel
/ go up to GarritstOwn and bring down
nigger TO reed it to yoo % sed he,
latin immodretly. "There's a hun.
dred NV em up there who kin do it."
Frownin perceeded; Yesterday, the
President sez, four millions Nv niggsrs
wuz slaves, and it amt to be presoomed
that their condishun NV servitood wood
fit em fer the active dutiesuV citizenship,
"a pretty system to Defend" mur.
INJURED Bigler, "wich units men for be.
ing good citizens"
/ went on not noticing the Interrupt
shen. The great difference between
the races in phisikle, mental and moral
caracteristicS will prevent an amalgama-
shen or fusion Nv em in one homogene.
Gus mass, and
"a mint" sed Bigler. "Is the
President strictly rite here9 Hez the
distiuguishin characteristics NV the races
prevented amalgamashen in these partsl
Deekin Pogram anser. Hez the differ
ence atween 700 and yoor niggers re-
PEELED yooi Hev you not bin amaIga-
matin and miSsegenatin, ontil 700 he'd
got the two races into one homogenuS
massl Deekin don't anser-I don't
require it. But l can't help remarkin
that ! kin select a dozen, more or less,
young niggsrs in these parts, who re-
semble you more than yoor own chill
dren do. Go on, l only desire to cor
rect the President where facts don't
bear him out,
There wuZ no use perceedin while he
wuz present, not the least, and there
fore l waited till he left, wich he short
ly did.
GO on! Go on !" sed they.
81 can't" replied /. 81 hsv forget
the text. The substance, however, l
can give 700. The fust is, that the
nigger haint no more rites now then he
had afore the war; that the legislashen
takin him out nv our hands is uncon-
stooshnel, and that Ablishnism, since A.
Johnson soured onto it, is condenst
wickedness that eff the niggers Amt
re-snslaved they ought to be-, and the
sooner we git about it the better. That
wuz the impression a keerful reedin Nv
the document left upon my mind"
Bascom and Deekin Pogram remarkt
that it seemed proper to EN- that some
acshen should be taken on the message,
with the view to the upholdin Nv the
hands nv the President, who wuz so
able a champion nv our cause. We
organized ourselves into a meeting Nv
wich / wuz compelled to act ez Presi-
dent and Secretary, bein the only one
who kin write, and the follerin resoloo-
shens were passed:
Resolved, That we coincide with the
President in his assershon that the bal
lot is unsafe in the hands nv ignurant
men, and that therefore it shood be
withheld from the niggers Nv the South
ern States, who, jist released from q
state NV brootaizin servitOod, are unfit
for its proper exercise.
Deekin Pogram objected to the use
Nv the word "brootalizfn." He had
alluz treated his niggera patriarchally.
he mite hev knocked EN- down with
fence stakes occasionally, and mite in
his younger days hev bin somewhat too
free with the cat, but never mere than
he felt wuz necessary, and every nah
NV EN- Good reed ez much ez he Good.
The word wuz stricken out.
Resolved, That we agree with him ez
to the propriety nv our unconstOoshnel
Congris repeelin the acts wish they hev
done in opposishen to the will NV the
President and the disfranchised thou
sands wich he represents.
Resolced, That we congratulate the
President upon the total defect NV the
impeacheri, and fer the purpose Nv pre-
ventin similar danger we demand the
repeel Nv the Tenure Nv Offs acts, that
the President may hev sole control nv
the patronage nv the government
RssolSsd, That if President johnson
will accept a nominashen, there is no
man wich the Dimocrisy Nv Kentucky
wood feel safer in putin ther interests
into the hands NV.
These resolutions wuz yunsnimously
past; and the meetin resolved itsek
into its original elements. Deekin Po-
gram felt that he wuz justified in stand
in the drinks for the party; so also
wuz Issaker Gavitt and others, and
thus the thing commenct. AEore they
we're carried away the wee small hours
he'd come. 1t wuz a refreshin season,
and one wich ] enjoyed. May / see
many more sich.
