askt myself, Eff so, count me out.
"Wat different is the sitooashen now !
We declared agin the non-payment Nv the
bonds in anything but greenbax, which is
equivalent to not payin Nv EN- at all, and
forthwith went to Moo York, where |,
yoor banker, was enticed by strange wo-
man, and lost my watch and black satin
vest, my boots and eight dollars and six
teen cents, all the money L heh, wich 1t
would hev bin the same had it been more
similarly and put in nominashen a man
wich sleeps onto bonds and spends the heft
Wv his time cuttin off coupons Brethren
if we hev to pay the debt wat difference
does it make who levies the tax? | kin
stand it as long under Grant ez | kin un-
der Seymore. 1t amt the person wich
levies the tax wich | object to, so much ez
it is the levyin NV the tax. If | have to
pay gold, why not ez we'll under Grant ez
Seymore
"Likewise is my sole vexed at another
thing, wich | can't or won't git over On
my way to Moo York, where | wuz so vile
ly yoosed, | was compelled for 20 miles
either to stand up or set down in the same
seat with "a dirty nigger, Joe Williams,

| wunst owned. That he is a mulatto
don't help the matter. That delegates on
the train fancied they saw in his face my
feechers reflected don't make it any better.
He is a niger, and my politikle faith is
based upon the endurin rock that a niger
amt ez good ez a white man. That Is
Democratic doctrine. took it in with
my mothers milk and can't get rid Nv it.
And yit | wuz compelled to associate with
this niger on terms NV ekality all the way
down to Moo York, where | lost my vest,
etsettery, and his seat in the Convenshun
-was next to mine. l stood this, but at our
where | lost my boots, &c, with the
American flag floating over our heads |
wuz compelled in consequence Nv the house
bein crowded TO sleep with him. And the
infamous stinkin niger absolootely he'd
the impoodence to objeck to the arrange
ment becoz ez he sed my feet smelt. Then
the iron entered my soul Then | felt
that the Dimocrisy wuz trooly "A sucked
egg-a shell without any meat in it.
When | saw that niger in that Con-
venshun, | felt that the pillars Nv the Re-
public wuz totterin, that the chaos wuz
come agin. | felt that Ameriky, being no
longer for white men, wuz no place for me.
| felt that Republican institushuns wuz
forever destroyed, and that henceforth and
forever there wuz no place for me in my
native land"
Now wat IL to be done? Am [ to ac-
cept y ggers as my ekals? Am L to vote
beside NV the Joe Willamsesof X kentucky?
Am TO ride with EN-, and eat with EN-,
and sleep with EN-, and hev the sinking
wretches object to the odors NV my feet,
and all this at the bidding NV Dimocrisy?
Why this very thing is what Dimocrisy
has allus opposed. Opposition to this is
the corner stun Nv the party. Take out
nigger hatin and repudashen, and what IL
there left to die for? With Seymore payin
in gold and Joe Williams sleepin with me,
what compensation hev | for the loss Nv my
vest, my boots, my eight dollars and my
watch ? What better are we than the
Ablishinists? They hev gained ther pint,
for this is what they went into the bizness
for. When get ready to do it III jine
en-. hev done -
The Deekin, McPeiter and Issaker Ga
witt wuz blin over in minute They
denounced the poor old man as disorgan-
izer and a bolter, and ez one who hedn't
that faith which shood animate all troo
Democrats. Wat eff we coodent under
stand it, wat then? sed the Deekin. Kin
yoo understand the mysteries of nacher
Kin 700 understand why one tree bears
sour apples and one sweet? But you eat
the apples, askin no questions for con-
science sake Even 50. Whatever the
Convenshen says is Democracy-takeit it
and thank the Lord Bascom stood lookin
on serenely. He knows perfectly that
wateyer any NV us receive from the govern
ment will eventooally find its way into his
till. You can't enthooze man who hez
ded wood en- good thing, no matter how
the cat jumps.
[ riz and remarkt that | shood not set
the Corners onto the Elder, out of respect
for his gray hairs, tho his infdelity and
coontoomacy richly deserved it. He mis-
takes the nacher NV Dimocrisy Its acts
accommodatin politix. Like wire bridge
it swings to and fro with every wind, but
the two ends are sekoorly ankered. One
butment is votes, and leading from that to
the other is postoffis. To make these
pints, wat difference is it how the bridge
bends and sways? just now it sweeps
down the stream to nigger ekality, and
twists so ez to include Seymore and his
gold, but halleloogy, at the other end Nv
the devious patch in post ortis. 50 To con-
tinue me in this orfis,' sed |, amt yoo
willing to sleep with Joe Williams, or any
other nigger? Wood you hey Deekin Po-
grams papers distributed by an Ablish-
mist? Wood you hev nigger lover in
this place ez a nucleus for settlement NV
nigger-lovers Wood yoo-"
Joe Biger rose and remarkt that sich
consummashun wuz most devoutly not to
be wisht. He hatid the Northern charac-
ter, and wanted no more Nv it here Eff
the niggers must be mixed with the white
race he wanted EN- mixed only with the
proud shivelry NV the South, ez it aluz
had been done. He"

L won't" scd he, Il am only takin
part in it. [ want, eff the nigger must
fade out under missegenashen, that the

every side their faces repeated over and
over aglne? 1t don't matter to me that
they'r shaded. The sons Nv Pogram, Ga
witt and McPelter will take their places
and carry forward the good work. They
