South will never he prosperous so long ez
the mass OF the men representa- her intel
ligence are disfranchised 50 long ez--"
Here wuz another interupshun. "Please,
ParsOn," sang out lssaker Gavit's little
brother sweet lad NV o, spittin out his
tobacco so ez to permit him to speek dis
tinctly, lssaker wants 700 to come over
and read for him letter woh he hez fist
got"
Tell Issaker sonny, that hevnt time
list now. Run UP toward the Ablishen
Mishuu skool and get any Niger girl wich
may be standin there and she will read It
for him" To resoom:
understand We don't want To- deprive
the Niger NV the ballot bGcOz we hale him,
but solely boCoz we do not believe he hez
the intelligence necessary to make him a
safe depository NV politikle power. He
wood inevitably become the victim NV
demagogues, the very thot NV wich makes
me. shudder Wood John Morriscy or
Fernando Wood accept seat in Congress
Nv sich constituency ? Go, ask their in
telligent supporters wat they think about
1t II is for them we plead. The very
idea NV bringin them TO the level NV the
niger is sbhoront
Ez for secession we hCv given that up
also. We can't he expected tn relinouish
our CRATE principle NV States rites, nor kin
we give over the rite NV withdrawal from
Il government wiCh don't SCOT uz. Wv
course we shell not attempt withdrawal a.
/ long oz Ablishnists controls the bayonets,
for we amt strong enough. But shood
we decide to withdraw, and coercion he
attempted we shel NV coarse resist. But
we won't do it-probably. The organiza.
tions in the South, wiCh is interspersed
with muskits and sich, is simply for self
protection agin niggcrs and Northern
whites
In conclooshen, we wish 700 to ashoor
the people NV Iniianny that all we want is
peece, oils and general restOrashen NV
things, and that we aint at all partikeler
e2 TO terms We demand, ez a konkered
people the abrogashen NV all the consti-
tooshucl amendments adopted since the
close NV the lutte onpleasantnis, and the re-
lnstatement NV the South in all her rites.
The Government, cz a act of ConsillashGn,
must relieve the solieruv Acknowledgement
and To wunst take votes out NV the hands
nv the niggers who irritated us by fighting
agin us when wu2 in trouble, and redoose
EN-, not to slavery, but to wateyer control
we in our wisdom shell deem necessary for
ther safety and well-bein, and ourn. Do
this, anu we will obey wat laws remain
wicli are not oppressive, and treat the Mig
gers with genooine Kentucky humanity.
We want government, not only NV
ourselves but others-we want peoce, and
we want our old seats in Congress. Do
this and all viii be well.
