The Impeachment Question Meet
ing at the Corners.


(Which is in the Stait NV Kentucky,) !
February 20, 1868.
Yesterday we received the Louisville
paper, and | notist into it reports NV
mass meetins in Chicago and all over
the country favorin impeachment. l
felt that the huntid President, denounst
and persekootid ez he is, shood at least
hav sympathy from one spot-shood at
least know that in one place he he'd
sound and solid friends, who wood
stand by him in this trying periood NV
his eggistence.
/ therefore called meeting NV the
Corners, wich wuz held last mite. /
okkepied the chair, and made the speech
Nv the Okkasion, wich allus do. /
remarkt that never in the histry nv the
Dimekratic party wuz the clouds low
erin so fritefully over it ez now. l
sposed it wuz a fixed fact that the Pres.
ident wood be impeeched and removed,
making that hoart headed Ben Wade,
who is profane persekooter Nv the
saints, President in his stead. Here
wuz wat eggcited my alarm for the
future of the Dimocracy. 1t aint that
johnson is goin out. 1t amt that /
care so very much for him, but the fact
that he will certinly be impeeched shows
that there is pint beyond wich ofish-
el patronage cant control see afore
me nothin but trouble. If Wade is
President the CRATE moral question is
who will be Postmaster at the Corners
Will Deekih Pogram's paper still con-
time tn pass thru the hands Of a sound
c Constooshnel Dimekrat? or will that
skoffer Pollock hand it outi Will l
be forced tu leave this sylvan retreat,
this haven of rest, and agin, and in my
old age, buffet the cold world? Good
Heavens The very ice makes me
shudder, and that same shudder will
convulse the entire South.
Wat ken we do? Shell the Corners
sit idly by and permit this CRATE wrong
to 90 unrebookedi Is a President to
be deposed and his postmasters en-
dangered for nothin? l am too full
for further utteranee.
Captain McPelter, late of the C.S. A.,
sed he he'd never felt so good sence the
Fort Piller affair. Wv course A. J.
wood resist, and then his sword wood
again leap from its scabbard. In the
coz Of sich Yoonyun ez the President
wanted, he felt ez tho he Good go calm
~ to his death His sole wuz up and
eager for the fray. In sich a coz he
could gather about him agin all the
brave men he led durin the hole NV the
late war, every one nv which wuz alive
and in good health, ceptin one who he'd
died recently of delirium tremens. He
longed for to begin. He he'd Abliish-
nists in his minds eye wich he wood
ike to go thrO-he knowed nv safe
places to cross into Ohio and Injiany,
and NV farms rich in horses. O for a
return nv them days.
Deekin Pogram remarked that so
far ez he wuz persnelly concerned, he
he'd no interest in the matter. Androo
johnson wuz nothin to him, nor wuz
he anything to Androo johnson, but he
wuz believer in constooshnel liberty.
He wanted his niggers back agin, and
wat hope wuz there Nv that, with that
pestiferous Ben Wade in A. Johnson's
seat. He shuddered at the ice. With
a Congress in the hands of the Ablish-
nists, with a President deeply dyed in
Radikalism, how long wood the little
remnant NV rites witch Kentucky en-
ioyed be left her7 How long would it
be before we should be compelled to
admit niggers to a ekality with us I?
How long wood we hold even the site
control NV EN- we now hevi Why,
under sich a rool we mite expect to see,
some day, the stars and stripes faunt
in the air in the Corners, and heer
Yoonyun speeches made in front nv
Bascom's. What chance, he asked,
wood there be of Continyooin the strug-
gle agin Congress? Wat earthly hope
Good the first families heV NV perpet-
ooatin their rool. None. Let us a.
rouse Let us do suthinI Let us, ez
Kentucky alluz hez done, resolve. He
begged leave to submit the follOwin:
WAREAs, Androo johnson, the Pres
ident Nv the Yoonited States, tho not
a Demekrat, is considerable nearer
thereto than Ben Wade, and
WAREAs, He removed from offs one
Edward M. Stanton, a bloody minded
Ablishnist, a thing alluz gratefulto to the
Dimekratic heart, and
WAREAs, For this act nv justtis {
Rump Congris is at this time engaged
in an attempt to depose him.
WAREAs, We, the Dimocrisy nv Con.
federit X Roads, feelin love for the
Yoonion burnin britely in our buzzoms,
and feelin, also, that the sed Yoonlor
is in imminent danger of utter destruok-
shen, onless the operashens NV an un-
holy Congris is checked, therefore bt
it
Resoiued, That we look with alarm
upon the ackshen nv Congris, aimed a
E our beloved President, and do hereby
protest agin sich ackshen.
Resolved, That we, the Dimocrisy o
the Corners, feelin the need NV deci

dent to be decided and firm.
ResOlcsd, That we, NV the Corners
respectfully recommend the immeji
