NASBY'S IDEA OF PEACE.

=
BsstT to General Grant, gives him
sarpxe kindly advice as to the policy
w6isst be should pursue whenhebecomes
Rresident. He argues that it is of the
highest importance to the future tran
tsaaIny of the country that his policy
sisMtId be ''consilitory," and then pro
c~sds to explain what the Democracy
raakEn- 10y the term ''peace." We
eFs4ate
III hez bin sed that you are sphinx.
WHIT sphinx is don't know. nor is
tber any one in the Corners who does.
Eat 1t must be suthin oius or 700
waHidEent hev bin so called. The great
question is, ''are 700 agoin to contin-
yesy 90 play sphinx, are 700 agoin to
easntinyoo in the groove into wich yoo
lAssv SAT- yoorself, or are 700 agoin to
fllsg out and fling yoorself into orr
zsuss e. That's the question that's ag-
ifstfn me and the Corners ez well. Eff
T. remember Alright, the concloodin
sentence NV yoor letter NV acceptance
wuz. ''let us hev peece " I want
pessee end 80 duz the Corners. How is
tiiis peece to be attained? Easy enuff
Eat Deekin Pqgram hev his niggers to
mssrIage and control in his own way,
anda he'll be at peece, Continyoo
Esder Pennibacker who hez distill-
sxT in the offises of Whiskey Inspector
Assessor and Collector of Internal Rev
.saoe, witch he now holds, and he'll
ssHanyoo at peece. 700 kin thus
n&eify these classes Don't that per-
Ehps the other classes mite object.
Possibly they wood. It's ther objec-
Chm that hez made all the trouble thus
Gin He'd they not objected, all wood
iRev been peece now. The niggers,
Ike the eel, hev bin yoost to bein
skinned, and more NV it won't hurt EN-.
Bart think of that old man, Deekin Po-
grmn ] Look at his gray hair, his fur
pawed cheeks, and his tottrin steps
Eshe to be forced in his old age to
stuna his hands with labor for the
nessary sustenance wich, sence Bascom
omit trustin, kin only be got with cash?
Isiniggers to wear better clothes than
me-? Shell issaker Gavett, who wuz
never yoost to work, be brot to it in
tire flower of his youth ? We don't
ask you intefert in our behalf we only
ask you to be at peece yoorself, and
hands off Sheathe the sword, and let
rs hev peece. Withdraw everything
i'm shape of soliery stick to the Presi
eEency and nothing else, and we will
take care of the rest.
There are other things wich 700
must do to restore happiness and peece
tn this distracted country. There can
be no peece so long az the Blairs are
ort of offs The Blairs must hev pla-
ces. A government without Blair into
it is not legal. Linkin failed to COM
mand the respect nv the Blairs, and
where is Linkin Johnson let the
Biairs go, and what an Awful Example
is he Don't be afraid that they won't
take offiis under 700. They amt per-
tfkeler they'd as soon run yoor admin
istrashen ez anybody's. Yoo can git
tine support Nv the Blairs ! That Boon
is within yoor reach. And likewise
yss kin get others wich is just ez nee
szry. Steedman is waitin. Rosso is
wxitin- Fuller is waitin. Ross Nv
Kansas, and Doolittle in fact all that
lEshle army Nv marters wich follered
tina plitical forchoons NV A. johnson
stand ready to support 700, on con-
tEishun that 700 support them. Take
them u. s. Grant take them. Don't
dsspise my advice. Think nv havin
the Blair family knockin at yoor door
far four years End it now and for
ever
For myself it isn't necessary to
speak. I am almost at the end nv an
eyentfuI life. Disappointment hez
dome its work, and in little time
sEisl go hence. 1 am victim NV irreg-
uIax habits wunst when in Abolishen
hasteel L wuz deprived nv hker for ten
days, and wunst by mistake 1 swallow
ed camphene for whiskey. My con-
stitooshen wuz thus undermined. /
REV but few more years at best and it
dgn't matter where I drag them out.
