Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-04-22

for your kindness and courtesy to me.
During my six weeks stay among you, /
have learned to appreciate you. leave
you a better man than when 1 came
among you. My heart is expanded.
The Southern men are the finest race /
ever was among; more like English
than any other people.
Am no politician. Wish to God that
you could get clear of the curse Of poll
ties. Politics are emily the outside dress
not patriotism. Politics mean selfish
ness and ambition. Get rid Of them,
they are ragged and dirty, and get a new
suit. The heart and head are all right.
This people cannot be enslaved.
And now, / will again thank you for
your kindness. I leave you in q few
days, probably never to see you again.
I hope the South, Phoenix-like from its
ashes, may not only divide the power Of
the country, but have the better half.
