Now the question wich agitatei
us is, wat do 700 intend to do p
That's what / want to know, ant
that's wat Deekin Pogram, Capt
McPelter and lssaker Gavitt is de
mandln il thunder tones, Wat dC
yoo intend to do? Are 700 a 60
in to adopt the merciless policy Il,
the Radikels, or are yoo goin tc
adopt consilitory policy?
prsoom that yoo don't under
stand the sitooashcn in the South
Ialmz pfesoom that shood 700 Wis
it the Corners, yoo wood find here
two classes of people, whose tastes
habits, inclinashens and interests
vary widely. On the one hand arc
the original Ken'uckians, NV wicl
Basconi, Deekin Pogram, Capt, Nc.
Pelter and Issaker Gayitt are britc
and shinin specimens, and on the
other there is Pollock, the Illinoy
storekeeper, Joe Bigler, who wuz a
confedrit soGer, but who has back
slid into Ablishnism, ten or twenty
families Nv Nortlieners who have
bought land hereabouts, and mig
gers wich we're freed by Linkin and
the Constooshnel Amendment,
These two antagonistic elements
are perpetually at war, and the re
suit is achronic onpleasantnis wich
hez seriously retarded the, growth
uy this seckshun. The fault is NV
coarse with Pollock, Bigler, the
Northern farmers, and the niggers.
The original Kentucktans desire
peece--they long and hunger and
thirst for it. But these other cur
ses won't let us hey it, The Nor
thern farmers wood come here and
buy land and continyooally irritate
us with their presence; they won't
idopt our habits and customs, but
persist in kqepin up ther own, and
