rs The agitashens nv the question NV
niggers labrin with white men in Wash
ington, reached the Corners four weeks
ago, and perdoost, ez mite hev ben ex-
pectid, most profound feelin. Our white
artizans assembled to-wunst and passed
resolutions in sympathy with their
brethren in Washington, and urgin NV
EN- to hold out to the bitter end rather
than compermise their dignity by low
erin themselves to the level NV the
greasy Afriken. The meetin wuznt a
large one, for we hev only five me-
chanioS NV the hawty Caucashen race
at the Corners, but it wuz enthoosias-
tic. Three NV the five he'd bin at Bas-
CONS for four days, heyin bin iist paid
off ,by a newcomer for a house they
he'd repaired for him, and they wuz in
a frame nv mind for anything that wuz
eggscitin. YTIE prLC.s,.n "A.
l directed the attenshun NV these
men to the fact that nigger plasteret
wuz even at that time employed in
plasterin house on the State road be-
tween the Corners and Gamettstown,
and asked them if they wuz content
to lay still and see an inferior race take
the bread out NV their mouths in that
way9u / implored EN- ez a labrin man
to preserve the dignity NV labor. Shel
niggers invade yoor okkepashens?
They wuznt none NV EN- plasterers,
but they replied "Never! Never!" and
demanded with the utmost promptitood
TO be showd the wretch that they mite
90 for him. But | restrained en- till
he'd, organized EN- into a Free Labor
Unyup, wich pcrhibited anybody from
workin at ahythin wich didn't jine it,
and wich perhbitid niggers from jinin
it. This preliminary work accomplish
ed, I remarked, "follow me-" They
did it with alacrity.
On reacbin the house we halted, and
there our eyes rested onto a site wich
blarsted EN-, There wuz a nigger, a
full-blooded nigger, with a cap onto
him, and overalls, plasterin away,
whistlin and singin sometimes one,
sometimes another, and then agin both
to-wuns0, Methodist hymns, And
ever and anon the unthinkin man Of
inferiority wood stop and execoot a
breakdown, and laff to hisself, so that
he could be heard a mile. The dis
gustin wretch displayed his grovellin
nacher by drinkin water out nv a bucket
wich he he'd handy by him,
We made short work Nv it. Vein
formed him that the laborers NV the
Corners he'd organized a Union, and
no one could be permitted to work
within its boundaries ceptin members
thereof.
"Berry well!" remarkt the Afrikin
Cuss, calmly putin on a dab NV mortar
and smoothin it, cherry well I'll jine
the Yoonyun.
"But you can't. No niger kin be
admitted" )"
''Den / speck shell hev to 60 on
and work widout bein a member, DE
ole woman and de babies must hab dar
bread, you know"
Sich insolence Good not NV course be
tolerated. We he'd stated the case to
him calmly and dispassionately. We
he'd informed him Nv the laws we he'd
made, and this wretch deliberately de-
fed us.by insistin thathe shood go on
with his work! Their wuz but one
course to take, and we took it. We
snaked the platform ont from under
him, we tore up his mortar bed we
broke his trowel and other tools, and
notified him ofishelly that any attempt
at resoomin work wood result in lynchin
NV him.
The next day we found that the mig
ger he'd in trooth quit plasterin, but he'd
found employment ez striker in a
blacksmith shop. Wv course sich an
outrage on the pure Caucashens en-
ployed in that shop, witch his name was
O'Toole, Good not be permitted, and ez
O'Toole refoozed to work with him, he
wuz discharged The next day ! no
tist him on the streets rather pale and
hsggard than, otherwise, Caryin home
a shin bone Nv beef wieh he bed bought.
The next day afterward Iobserved that
he lookt better, and l diskivereda that
he he'd found employment at last on a
turnpike road wich is beih built east NV
the town. Issaker Gavitt, and me, the
two champions NV labor for this seek
shun, (ez we don't work we hev timeto
attend to it,) sejested to the noble Celts
employed on the job, the hidjusnis NV
compellin EN- to work on an ekality
with niger, and they struck agini it
with the yoosual result. The niger
wuz discharged. He undertook to get
