and the hatrid NV the Democrisy Nv Ohio
for niggers, hez, between EN-, left me in a |
condishen witch I hardly supposed shood |
ever find myself in. rite these lines, |
propped up in bed at my boardin house,
my face beaten to jelly, and perfeckly |
| kivered with stickin plaster; my nose, |
alluz the beauty and glory Nv my face, is
enlarged to twict its fair proporshens; my |
| few remainin teeth hev bin knockt down |
my throat, my lips resemble sausages, my |
| lett ear is forever no more, and wat little
| hair WuZ hangin about my venerable tenn

| yard ball, and twict its normal size. 1t
come about thus:
There wuz trouble in one NV the South |
ern counties Nv Ohio. In a reliably Dem
ocratic township in that county is a settle
ment nv niggers, who, in the old time, ran
away from Kentucky, and settlin here
where they Good lev wat they earned, witch
wuz jist so much swiDdled out Nv Ken
lucky, accumulated wealth. Wv course
comm from Kentucky, these niggcrs are
many Nv EN- ez near white ez they can be.
One NV EN- who carried with him the name
Nv his master, and ez he says, father, Lett,
| is ez near white man ez may be, and ez
he married wench who wuz shaGe
whittier than he, their children are jist a
touch whittier than both nv en-. Wv these
he he'd three daughters rangin from six
i teen TO twenty.
Now this Lett is disturber He had
farm Nv perhaps 300 akers, and wuz taxed
heavy for skool purposes but his children
wuzn't, NV course, allowed to attend the
skool-none Nv the niger children were.
But this Lett got the ice into his head that
there wuzn't no propriety in his payin
taxes without enjoyin some Nv the benefits
arizin from EN-, and, aided and abetted by
other niggers, who were wicked enough to
complain Nv payin taxes to the suppOrtuv
white skools he sent his three daughters
to the skool, directin them to present their
selves boldly, take their seats quietly, and
study perseverinly. They die So The
sl<oolmarm, who wuz young huzzy, with
black eyes and material curls, from the State
NV Moo Hampsheer, where they persekoot
the saints, not only assented to reseyin EN-,
but very joyfully gave em seats and put

children. -
i There wuz trouble IN that township. |

selves, and so blarst the self-respeck Nv
yOor children? II eea
