The Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby thus de-
scribes the recent election in Kentucky:
"The elecshun went of magnifcently.-
Never did l see in all my experience,
wich hez bin very great, sich extensive
preparations made. Bascom's bar wuz
made free. Deekin Pogram, Kernel Nc

different names, and the other faithful
ones voted ez many times ez they thot

up to vote, at wich l was surprised

Kentucky-a man who holds views SO
totally different from ourn, persoom to
vote at these ere poles? Never!"
And Issaker, bilin over with rage,
went for him, in wich he wuz assisted by
the entire balance NV the Corners. The
wretched man paid heavy penalty for
his insolence. He wuz carried off by
some sympathisin niggers, a mere wreck

A little later the "Uoonyun men," ez
they call themselves, upon Pike Run,
come down to vote. But Issaker and
McPelter reasoned with EN-. Kernel Nc
Pelter's remarks wuz pertikelerly i'm
pressive. They asserted that ez Ameri-

we do? Why will they come about us
with incenjary votes? That man he'd a
family. Wat reason will he give them
when he's carried home dead, for his on
