y
ing down the Policy to be pursued
to ensure Democratic Victory.
Posi- Offs, CoNFEDRIr Y RoADs,]
Wich is in the State NV KY, u
January 8, 1865.
The time hez at length arriv when
it's nessary that suthin he did
Procrastinashen is the buster of sue
cess, and great excellence is only to
be attained through crest labor. In
the tuff fite that the Democrisy hez
afore it, nv wich the premonitory
notes is now bein soundid, it is wis
dom not to lose any chances NV sue
cess, or to neglect anything that
would hev tendency TO aid us on to
victory.
Mankind, or at least three-fourths
NV EN-, are dividid up into two classes,
viz: rascals and ninnies, and / make
bold to say that the Republican par
ty is the ninnies. They hev n GER
tain kind Nv courage. 1 don't deny
that doorin the late onpleasantnis
they faced batteries and sich, toll
erably well, but their nerve all endid
with that. They expendid their
selves a carryin on the war, and be
come too eggsaustid in doin it to pick
up the plumber, or to take good care
NV their prisoners.
The next campane is to be fought
on two isshoos only, viz : the finances
and the Niger, and on both the De
mocrisy is especially strong. Ez
Demokrats, on an average, don't pay
taxes to any alarmin extent, they
are pekoolyarly sensitive on this sub
jick. Among no class do l find sich
ardent advocates Nv payin the bonds
off in greenbax Only last mite in
Louisville, l heerd one who wuz lean
in up agin the bar NV the saloon I
parternize, assert with fervor, that
the money good enuff forthe laborer
wuz good enuff for the bloated bond
holder, and that for his part, lie had
vowed never topay another dollar in
taxes to swell the estate NV those
purse proud aristocrats. After CIV
in expression to sich patriotic de-
fiance, Good l refuse to lend him the
ten cents he desired to assuage the
thirst that wuZ cOnsOomin him I Mo-
1 did it and he tn wunst assuaged.
The fact that he attempted to pick
my pocket NV my handkerchief ez l
passed him, while it showes moral
twist in his nacher, don't detract any
thing from the soundnis NV his po-
sishen on the great question of finan-
ces.
The niger is, however, our best
and strongest holt. The Democrat
may not precisely understand the
finanshel question, or not hevin any
bonds to be paid or greenbaX to pay
'em with he may possibly not care
a continental cuss about it. But on
the nigger he is alluz alive, alluz ac-
tive, alluz vigilant. Whenever he
is brot face to face with niggeTa
his proud Caucasian blood tn wunst
rebels, and he iDstinktively strikes.
And the Republican is jist ez sensi-
tive on these questions ez the Dem
okrat. Doorin the war, when they
wanted EN-, ther Iwuz tendency to.
word lookin more favorably onto
EN-, but that is all faded out. The
nigger who wuz very Apollo in ther
eyes, when clad in bloc, and with q
nusket on his sholder, is now that
he amt needed tn stand atween a
white man and a rebel bullet, the
same ID nigger he alluz wuz, and
pothin more The nigger stinks ez
NV yore, and in that sign we con-
ker.
For the guidance nv the Democ-
risy North, I wood say that we hev
commenced our campane. We are
jist now engaged in fixin the niggers
in our midst, so that we kin hold
him up next year ez awful example
afore an astOunded world. We hev
organized all thro Kentucky, and are
pushin it thro the other States ez rap
idly ez possible, leagues NV proper
ty owners for their protection in the
matter NV labor. We hev agreed
and we mootually pledge tn each
other, our words and sacred honors,
suthin ez follers:
l. No nigger shel be permitted un-
der any preteNt watever, to lease or
buy any ground whatsoever.
2. No nigger shell be employed up
on any plantashen onless he kin show
from his last employer a certifikit
settin forth, l. That he is humble. 2.
That he can't read. 8. That he re-
CARDS it ez his dooty, under the de-
cree Nv a just Providence, to take
whatever is set afore him, humbly
and without murmurin.
8. No nigger shell be employed
ceptin upon the followin terms: able
bodied males, sS per month; able
bodied females, sc per month
Where they hev bin married by chap
Inns Nv niger regiments and sich, the
marriage to be considered nv no ak
kount. Supplies onto wich they live
shell, in all cases, be furnisht by the
employer, the price wich he fixes
thereon. to be deducted from their
wages. Should they git in debt to
their employer for supplies, it is ex.
pressly understood that they shell hev
the privilege nv workin it out. We
amt so crooel ez to ask that they shell
pay in money.
1t isn't expected that many Nv em
will take service on these terms. Wat
follows? 1t is obvus to the most or
dinary intellek! They'll starve!
Halleloogy! They'll starve! Starvin,
they'll attempt to take livin by
force; we shel appeal to the COVER
ment for protecshun agin these in
furiatid monsters, and with that
help we think there will be no diff
kitty in bringin ~ en- to terms. With
Hancock and Sickles in command,
we think there will be no trouble in
Dustin the conspiracies that will fol-
low, and suppressin any uprisins that
may occur. We shell hold EN- with a
firm hand, and may possibly COM
mence onto EN- afore they rise.
Then will the effeck be made plain
to you. The people NV Kentucky
will pint to the corpsis NV them wich
are strewed along the road sides, dead
Nv starvashun and exposhurs, and
exclaim sepulcrally to the Ablishnist,
Behold yoor work! When he wuz
a slave, ez he wuz originally intend |
ed, and wuz cared for by kind mas
ters, it wuz not thus % Many NV EN-
