February II, 1853. y
THAT cussid Consto oshnel Amendment
hez bin on my mind mite and day for morn
week. hev slept onto it, dreamed onto
it, and it hez monopolized my wakin hours
to the excloosion Nv everythin else. EZ
an evidence Nv how much it hez absorbed
me, l wood merely menshen that twice
while sittin in Bascom's thinkin it over,
strangers in the place hey askt the crowd
up to take suthin, without my heerin NV
EN- at all, when in fact I went there, and
wuZ sittin there, and waitin there, for the
express purpose NV availiE myself Nv sich
chances. / stay at Bascom's solely to ac-
cept invitashuns to drink, for his benefit.
Often hev I sed to him "G W., sich Is my
admirashen for the sterlin qualities in yoor
he'd and heart, that I will drink myself
into delirum tremers for yoor sake, willin-
ly. Yoose me in this caparsity ez 700 will,
my stumick is glass-lined and ken stand
even yoor ikker" Notwithstandin this
self-sacrifis Bascom has never perposed to
give me per cent. on wat / put into his
drawer in this way. Shood he do go /
Good easily earn enuff to pay my board 4:
but shood he do it there wood be no merit
in the sacrifs. ta
hev more than half made up my mind
to go for the adopshen Nv the Constoosh-
mel Amendment, and that for the benefit
solely NV the Dimocrisy I more than
half believe that the adopshen Nv that
Amendment jist ez- it hez passed both
Houses of Congris, wood result after, all
to our advantage; that is eff the posishen
we hev alluZ taken that the niger is an
inferior race be the troo one. The Dim
oerisy hez never failed to git possession Nv
the inferior classes. They hev sole and
undivided control NV sich people ez heV
stumick alone, without brane-Dimocrisy
f1ourishes best where school houses are not.
Thus the patriots who inhabit the lower
wards NV Moo York; the denizens Nv
Mackrelville and Nv the Five. Pints; the
Southern half Nv Delaware, whose people
wood demonstrate the trooth Nv the theory
that men wuz orijinelly oysters, wuz there
any possibility NV maxim men NV EN-; the
Southern porshens Nv Injianny and Illi-
noy; all these regions are strongholds Nv
Nv Ablishenism beat in vain.
Now the question wich agitates my
mind is, wood the niggers eff given the
ballot rise above us, or sink below us
They wouldn't have fur to 60 either way.
Ez matter Nv course, the mint they hsv
the ballot, they become to us Objects of
Interest. The mint they hev the fate Nv
a member of Congris in their hands, that
mint the Democratic candidate for Con
girls goes for EN-. He cannot avoid eatin
with EN-, drinkin with EN-, and sleepin
with en-. In the South, the latter opera
ton wood be no new experience, the
practiS hez bin more common with that
portion Nv the race wich for sexual rea-
sons, kin never vote. But the candidate,
native and to the manner born, wood heV
the advantage over the Northern carpet
bagger Nv hevin long ago, overcome his
repugnance to color, wich is great pint
gained. -, -..l-.f p,
Trained by us and mixed with us, how
long wood it take to bring EN- down to us?
Kin Pollock and Bigler hold them Mig
gers at Garrettstown in their hands for
ever? / don't believe it. The polls is
open at Bascom's, the caucusses is held at
Bascom's, and Bascoms, likker wood fetch
EN- in time. 1t heZ made many NV us loath-
some objects, and why not them I? AT all
events l know that among EN- there's any
number Nv lazy cuSses who won't work
and who take to new whisky ez materially
ez | do, and that porshen Wv EN- we're as
certin to git ez leaves is to fall. This class
must gravitate to us for the suffishent rea-
son that they hev nowhere else to go to
find conjenyel assoseashens Whether
these fellows armed with the ballot kin
contaminate enuff NV the others to give
us majority, is the great moral question.
At all events ez the thing is bound to go
thro, bleeye it is better for us to make
the most Nv it, and by yeeldin cheerful
assent to wat we cant help, make shoor NV
this class at least. = 7''''' - '.''H ''
feel tolerable easy. Ef the ballot is
given EN- in Kentucky and we kin keep
out them cussid missionaries with their
primers and spelin books and school
houses, hev faith to believe that the
Ablishnists will, after all, hev achieved a
barren victry, that is for the present.
Troo, we can't allez hold em. The Bible
sosieties, and the Crischen Assoseashens,
and them other nacherel enemies Nv 2our
party, spelin books, will evenchooally git
hold Nv EN-, but they can't do it for ten
years, and before that time passes, shell
sleep in the valley. On good likker Good
only hope to survive ten years-on Bas-
CONS shorter period will suffise j feel
now q lack Nv physikle yigger. My haltin
steps, and the incapassity. to take over
three drinks per fifteen minits warn me
that my biler is rustid, that the rivits is
weaknin, and that ere long it must hust.
After that wat do I care who rool Ken
lucky? When | am sleepin in the buryin
ground behind Pennibacker's distillery,
wat difference will it make to me whether
that bildin is conyertin corn into ,.sus-
tenance, or whether it is bein yoosed ,ez a
Young. Ladies Seminary with teachers
from Massychoosits with ther hair in in
tellectual ringlits?. When this frail body
is moldrin into DUST, watd I care whether
Confedrit K Roads is wat it now is, or
whether its name is changed to Sumner
| vile with q cotton factory, and nail fac
tory and a roliin mill and sich with the
country cleared up around it, and all de-
voted to dairies and market gardens |?
Nary. But ez this fraii body aint moldrin
into dust, and ez it aint sleepin in the
buryin ground, but on the contrary, is
livin and movin with wants and necessities
uyan earthly nacher, which must be at
tended to, and ez' the sed body hez a. dis
inclination to labor to procoer7 the sed
necessities, it prefers to hey Confedrit x
Roads remain jist ez it is doorin its stay
on this sublunary speer And to this end
/ am willin to do wateYer may be nessary
to keep it so. Ef the way is thro Afriky
Il am willin to embace Afriky. Eff it is
kickin Afriky, why then Afrikyl shel find
