When the Almighty made niggers
be ought to have made EN- so that
mixin with the sooperior race would
have been an impossibility. The
cuss Nv missegenashen, and the ha-
red Nv the Democrisy Nv Ohio for
,iggers, hez, between EN-, lef tine in
! condishen wich hardly supposed
should ever find myself in. l rite
these lines, propped up in bed at my
booardin house, my face beaten to a
Jelly, and perleckly kivered with
stickin plaster; my nose, alluz the
beauty and glory Nv my face, is en-
larged to twict Its fair proporshens !;
my few remainin teeth hev bin knockt
down my throat, my lips resemble
my left ear is forever no
more, and wat little hair wuz hang
in about my venerable temples is
gone, my head is ez bald as bill
yard ball, and twict its normal size.
It come abouet thus;
There was trouble in one of the
Southern counties Nv Ohio. In a re-
liably Democratic township in that
county is settlement Nv niggers,
who, in the old time ran away from
Kentucky, and settlen here where
they could hev wat they earned,
wich was jist SO much swindled out
NV Kentucky, accumulated welth. Nv
course comm from Kentucky,
these niggers are many ev em ez
near white ez they can be. One NV
EN- who carried with him the name
NV his master, and ez he says, faith
er, LETT, Is cz near a white man ez
may be, and ez he married wench
who wuz -ehade whites then he,
their children are jist touch whittier
than both NV EN-. Nv these he he'd
three daughters rangin from sixteen
TO twenty.
Now this LETT is disturber. He
had farm NV perhaps 200 akers and
wuz taxed heavy for skool purposes
but his children wuzn't NV course al
lowed to attend the skool. None Nv
the nigger children we're. But this
LETT got the ijee into his he'd that
there wuzn't no propriety in his pay
in taxes without enjoyin some Nv the
benefits arizin from EN-, and aided
and abetted by the other niggers,
who were wicked enough to com
plain Nv payin taxes to the support
NV white skool, he sent his three
daughters to the skool, directin them
to present themselves boldly, take
their seats quietly, and study per
severeinly. They did so, the skool-
marin, who wuz young huzzy, with
black eyes and material curls, from
the State NV Moo Hampsheer,
where they persekoot the saints, not
only assented to recevin em, but very
joyfully gave en- seats and put EN-
into classes-think NV that-with
white children.
There wuz trouble in that town
ship. / wuz sent for to wunst, and
gladly 1 come. I wuz never so graf
flied in my life. Had smallpox bro
ken out in that skool, there wOodent
hev bin half the eggscitement in the
township. 1t wuz the subjick nv
yooniversal talk everywhere, and the
Democrisy wuz a bilin Ike pot. 1
met the trustees nv the township,
and demanded eff they intended tame
ly to submit to this outrage ? l askt
EN- whether they intended TO hev
their children set side by side with
the defendants Nv Ham, who wuz
condemned to posishen NV inferior
ity forever ? Kin you / asked, so de-
grade yourselves, and so blarst the
self respeck NV your children q?
And bilin up with indignashen
they answered "never." and yoonani-
mously requested me to accompany
EN- to the skool house that they mite
expel these disgustin
beins who he'd obtrooded themselves
among those of sooperior race.
On the way to the skool house
wich wuz perhaps mile distant, /
askt the Board eff they knowed
those girls by site. No they replied,
they he'd never seed cm. 81 hev bin
told" sed I "that they are nearly
white"
"They are" sed one Nv EN-, "quite
white" ut matters not sed 1, feelin
that there wuz a good opportoonity
for improvin the ocashen, 'it mat
ters not. There is suthin in the mig
ger at wich the lnstink Nv the white
man absolootly rebels, and from
wich it instinktively recoils. So
much experience hev had with em
hat put me in dark room with one
Nv EN-, no matter how little nigger
here is in EN-, and that unerrin in
stink wood betray EN- to me, wich
by the way goes to prove that the
dislike We hev to EN- is not the re-
suit NV prejudes, but is a part Nv
our very nachers and one Nv its high
est and holiest attriboots."
Thus communin, we reached and
entered the skool house. The skool-
marm wuz there ez brite and ez
crisp ez a Janooary morning-the
lkolers wuz ranged on the seets .
studyin ez rapidly ez- possible.
''Miss," sed /, rwe ere, informed
