Withdraw niZZen and revise II, but Bigler
prevented him. II agree with my esteem
ed friend Pepper, sed Bigler, ez to the
characteristics Nv the Afrikin and the nat
eral loathiDg wich eggsists in the bosom uv
every well regulated Caucashen But dis
agree with him ez to the impossibility NV
the proud Caucashen aforesaid scalin it.
Deekin, hez it ever been scaled in this yicin-
ity? Let not exc, but the hundreds of
Yaller niggers in these parts anser. Pollock,
go on
II am opposed to eleyatin the niger for
the reason that if onet released from he
disabilities the law imposes, he at once be-
Gums our ekul Wat follows2 Do we want
niggers for our sons-in law? Do we banker
after female niggers for our daughters-in-
law? Wood any proud Caueashen want a
niger woman for step mother? / de-
mand, not only the eontinyooance NV the
laws we have agin marryiu niggers, but
more stringenter ones | call upon my
common country to protect US from uigger
ekality
seth MAwBY, Nv 0lio.'
Spoken ike a man and a Demokrat, ez
700 air, said Bigler Here is another
and a potent reason agiu givin the niger
his rites. They grow on our hands. Let
US keep the run Nv en- First, ez he is so
much below US he can't be educated. See
ond, we must prevent him from being edu-
Gated, for fear of his bein our ekal. Third,
nacher made him too disgustia to approach
US. Fourth, we must hev laws to prevent
US from marryin him. Here is richness in
deed. &c on, Polloek-go on.

''Not a bit Nv use, Parson There are
several other opinyuns in the hat, wich we
will hey Pull EN-, Pollock"
Il, ez a citizen ug Connecticut, am op-
posed to given the niger rites in that Stait,
becoz, incapable ez he is Of intelligent labor,
materially indolent, careless shiftless, and
cussed ez he ez, he kin never be made to
work save when forced to do it ez slave.
He wood cum north in droves and fill our
almshouses and jails, and be to heavy a bur
den for our overtaxed people
'ZEPHANIA SCuDDER, Nv Connecticut. "
'Perceed, Pollock, sed Bigler
| stand opposed to conferrin rites upon
the Afrikin, becoz, hevin alIuz bin accus-
toned to labor, and bein NV a materially DO
Gle disposishen, percisely the material Nv
wich to make labrers, he wood overrun the
north seekin suthin to do, and ez he wood
gladly work at less wages than the proud
Caucashen labrer, he wood drive them out
of employment and into the almshouses and
jails. p YEAGEB, Nv PennsylYauy."
Pollock and Bigler laft yociferously and
uproaIiously, and the Others looked ez un-
comfortable as men Good. 1t he'd gone too
fur alreddy, and seezed my hat and emp
tied wat remained onto the floor
'.Sir' sed I, lookin Bigler thro and
thro, ''yoor conduct is reprehensible in the
extreme. Yoo cum here, sir ez a disturber,
ez a maker Of mischief, ez destroyer NV
peeee, and
Easy, ParsoD, easy, or I may possibly
forget the considerashun doc yoor eallin,
and choke yoo trife The fact Is, my
friend Pollock aud wuz actooated by the
highest possible motives, wuzu' we, Pol
lock p
CertinIy-why not?" ansered that
wretch
We felt that it wuz nessary that suthin
be agreed upon in this niger question. Its
bin tough thing to handle ever sense l
knowd anything about it; and | wanted to
harmonic our views and put EN- in a shape
to meet and anser the obieckshuns Nv our
common foe-the Ablishnists. | confess I
wuz disappointed. There are reasons enuf
Tor deprivin the niger NV rites, but some
how they don't hang together. Thus, I've
found one patriot opposes elevatin en- be-
COZ they re incapable materially NV bein ed
dikatid-another demands laws agin their
being eddikatid becoz, ef they are given
half chance, they'll take all The Offices in
the gift Nv the people--enother, becoz
they re so disgustingly made be nacher ez
to eggscite loathing and disgust-enother,
becoz, ef they hev this one privilege, laws
will be required to keep our wimmen from
mauyin NV em-enothcr, becoz be won't
work, ceptin he 5 forced to-and still enoth-
er, becoz be is so materially adapted to work
that he j underworld the whites, and set EN-
adrift. Among all these reasons, he wood
be hard to SCOT, indeed, who c0cdu't find
one that wood SCOT him. But somehow
they re tangled; one mind can take en- all
in. They don't seem to jbe, and in at.
temptin to sort NV reconcile and arrange EN-
in logical order, and get EN- to dove tale to-
gether, m all tore up, ana so is Pollock.
| wuz pleased with the first, third, and fifth
reasons, but, alas the second, fourth, and
sixth upset EN-. Ef l tie to the second,
fourth and sixth, am confronted with the
frst, third and fifth, and ez they are all A
Dimocrisy, what is Pollock and me to do
Rely, we are at sea without rudder or
compass, and unless rescood, may float into
the harbor Nv Ablishnism, wch, not hevin
but one idea, is easily eomprehended l
must sleep on this, and ez it is time that we
seek our yirchus couches, Bascum will shet
up.
And the cuss turned us out, aud saw Bas-
cum lock the doors before he left. Suth-
in will yet happen to this Bigler.
