The next place l visited wuz smaller

less Nv that cold formality wick earacter-
ICES more densely populated seeshuns
In sich places 700 find the troo gGshin
child of nacher. It is a splendish corn
growing seekshun, wich soil IS pekooly-
erly favorable to Democrisy. In fact,
corn and Democrisy is inseperable, and
our largest majorities is alluz where ther
is the best and most luxnriant corn. The
distellers convert the corn into whisky,
and the whiskey converts original men
into Democrats, and then its plane sailin.
It takes three generasbens at least to
bring a people out Nv whisky, and the
state Nv toelis shoes, pants busted in the
seat, and windows stuff with old hats,
wich alluz marks a strickly Demokratic
community. Its a singler fact that we
never flourish in a soil adapted to wheat,
wich hez raIerodes thro it. Wheat will
make whiskey, but teo fne-favored, and
the facilities for gettin it to market makes
it too high in price. The man who in
vented ralerodes struck hlow at. the hart
Nv the party, For our purposes we want
little of the fiery whisky wich corn pro-
duces, and want that little strong. But
this is depression.
At this pint the enthoosiasm wuz un-
bounded. The Dimocrisy wuz all, alive,
but ther wuzn't that docility among the
niggers that expected. These cusses,
ez soon ez they saw ne, and learned my
biznis, took to the oOds, and we he'd to
60 arter EN- to electioneer EN-, which the
Dimocrisy did, taking their dorgs with
EN-. 1t wuz a cheering site to see EN-
follering the black cusses through the
swamps, the moosic Nv the yelpln NV the
dorgs cheerin US on to our work. Two or
three refoosed to be talked to, and their
bodies, like John Browns, wuz left dang
ling in the air, while their soles went
marchin on. We believe in every man
a choosing for hisself and in the greatest
freedom Nv speech and opinion, providin
alluz ther amt nothin incenjary in it.
Ez everything that's sed agin US we
count incenjary, in simpHfes matter Won
derfully.
[ got one good meetin Nv EN-, however,
to wich I wuz indebted to Moo York dry
goods merchant, who is here maxim a
strenuous effort to re-establish his trade,
wickedly and crooelly broken up by the
wicked onpleasantness which Linkln IN
augerated resistin the South in 1861. He
is Conservative who is after trade, and
consekently is willing to do anyfhin. He
told Nv nigger funeral to ke place in
the afternoon, and suggested that score
Nv us arm ourselves, surround EN- and
keep EN- in whether or no, ontil l he'd
made my speech. $50 ankshus am ], +"
he said, to a retailer Nv dry goods, lit wuz
dry goods he wuz sellin, by singlar coin
cidence), "for the success Nv correct prln-
ciples, that [ will guard one Nv the doors
myself" And he die it, swearin at Yam
KEGS all the time, and pernouncin COW
Fcaow," the while. [ noti1t it, but it
mattered not to me. Why should we be
pertikler ez to the tools we yoose When
we shake hands with sich, can't we put
on gloves
We surrounded the church and notified
EN- that they coodent pass till we wuz
thro, and | commenced my speech, and
spoke it thro. [ insisted that ther inter

there was any antagonism between the
races. Who, askt, gave the coiored man
the right to vote in Moo York ? The
Democrisy. Who gave the colored man
the right to stay in Ohio? The Dimocri-
sy. What Vice President he'd nig--or
rather, colored woman, for wife, wich
wood hev bin mistress Nv the White
House, he'd the President bin a Republi-
kin, and consekenlly worth our while to
assassinate him? Richard N. Johnson, a
Dimokrat Who hev bin
At this pint pert mulatto remarked
that he he'd word to say, and [ gave
place to him. He wu4 himself con-
servative nigger Nv the most conservatest
kind. He shood vote with his white
brothers cheerfully, but not for the reasons
which the speaker (meanin me- he'd given.
He shood do it from higher holier mo-
tive than any advanced. He should do it
from motives of consanguinity. He he'd
alluz bin humble niger, bleevin him
self to be one Nv an inferior race, but
sence he he'd bin free he he'd bin seaIchin
his pedigree. He he'd bin agreeably sur
priced. He found he he'd the best blood
Nv Virginny coursin through his veins
The Confederit candidate for Congress wus
his half brother, halleloogy, and he wuz
closely related to two-thirds of all sed can
didates' supporters, bless de Lord, and NV
course he d vote fur him, for the man that
woodn't take car Nv his own blood is wuss
nor an infdel. He felt grateful to the
conservative candidate s family. Troo, he
wuz half niger, but lie prided hisself on
the fodder half. He felt all the pride Nv
race Nv wich he he'd heerd so much. His
ancestors Con his ladders side) he'd bin
probably the comrads Of Washington, and
he woodn't degrade isself by mixln with
men Nv no family from the North. He
wuz poor, but his projeniters Con his faith
ers side) wuz gentlemen, bress de Lord,
and he stood on blood.
And the niggers, Dustin with latter at
the rage wich they saw depicted onto the
countenances Nv their white friends, got
