Mr.. NAsBY, AT THE INSTANCE w THE, Ma
TIoNAL CENTRAL COMMITTEE, GOES SOUTH
TO ORGANIZE CoLoRED SEYMOUR AND
BLAIR CLUBS.
Posi- OFFS, CoNFEDRT Y ROADS (Which
is in the State Nv kentucky, Aug. 27,lS6S.
The Nashnel Cent.a, Committee, hevin no
titled me that Good either pay an assess
ment NV $50 toward defrayiE the expenses
Nv the campane, or go South and organize
colored Seeymor and Blare clubs, desided
to do the latter for obvus reasons, wich
are
/. The entire community in wich | reside
aint got $50, ceptin Bascom and Pennipack-
er wich, bein distillers and grocery keepers,
hev naturally absorbed all the capital Nv the
place.
2. / am fond Nv travel, for elsewhere l find
ungleaned fields and pastors fresh. l find
men NV wich | hev never borrered, and
whose nachers hev never bin soured by un-
forchnit lendins. hev notist that | hev
aluz done better wher l amt so we'll known.
My zeal rather wears out my friends.
For these reasons l went. My first stoppin
place wuz in Western Tennessee, and my
success wuz glorious. / made known my
biznis to the leadin Demokrats, and they
took hold NV the idee with alacrity. Every
man Nv EN- put on his gray uniform, as they
alluz do when they embark into po!itikle
enterprise that ther Dimocrisy may not be
questioned, and sailed out with me to elcc-
tioneer the niggers wich were employed on
to their plantashens. Their method wuz
short, decisive, and effective. The niggers
wuz mildly but firmly given the choise be-
tween jnin Seemore ana Bare Club, and
attending it to heer me speak, or being dis
charged from their employment Ez the
planters hev jokeler way Nv shootin at site
all the nggers who haven't any employment,
the alternative mite be considered equivalent
to death, and with an alacrity wich didn't
expect they all jined and all come to the
meetin in the evenin. One nigger when l
wuz half thro speakin got up and left, sayin
ez he went that he wanted to work, he'd jined
the club, and wuz willing to be a CoDserva-
tive niger to hold his place, but ez for
hearin me clean thro he'd be. They
wood hev tinisht him on the spot, but bade
EN- forbear. That nigger's vote is shoor, and
| don't mind the insult he put onto me.
''Let him &C." l sed, 1--WE hev no votes TO
spare. and sence Bookannon's time we hevn't
bin able to vote ded men to any extent"
Let Horasho Seemore, if he is elected remem-
Der this thotfulnis and self sacrifs. Sich
qualities wood shine at the head Nv the Post
Offs Department. merely throw this hint
by the way.
The next pint l struck wuz a cheerful
village Nv perhaps thousand people. Here
| found better sperit prevalin than | Good
hev hoped for. The druggists and grocers
were all Democrats of the straightest sect,
hevin every one Nv EN- served in the Con
fedrit army. They were delighted at the
movement. Not five minits after / had
made known my bizness nigger came into
q drug store NV wich the likker (wich wuz
kept for medssinel purposes only sootid
me, askin for some calomel and quinine,
wich is the standard remedy among the
niggers here for ague, the whites yoosin
quinine and whisky, for the same disease,
wich they take, omittin the quinine.
"Shel yoo vote for Seemore and Blare?"
quoth the patriotic druggist. "Are yoo
wiliin To become Conservative niger and
jine Conservative niger Seemore and Blare
Clubi"
mo, sab |" replied the obtoose Ethiopian
Then. my buck, yoo can't hev no medi-
cine at this shop"
"But my children must hev it," replied
the niger.
at makes no difference. We can't furnish
medicines to Radikels. We can't furnish
niggers who amt willin to vote with us who
protected EN- in their infancy and workt EN-
for their own good in their matoorer years
with remedies either Vegetable or mineral.
Jine the club or no quinine."
Ez matter of course, the niger listened
to reason He wuz to wunst convinced that
the Radikels wuz opposed to his interests
in all respects, and he jined. They were
thoro in their Democrisy in that place. They
determined to hev perfeck yoonanimity in
ther vote at the polls, and the three or four
niggers wich positively refoosed to jine they
hung, together with two white Ohio farmers
and one white Pennsylvany blacksmith,
wich persisted In ther loyal" ez they cal
