nlH, 0ftU W6y NeU 10 pay. In1S iron
hez bin entrin their sides for years, and
| finally it wuz decided to hist him, and taKe
the chances Nv somebody else comm in
his place. The ackshen Nv the citizens
| wuz fastened, by the fact that two friends
NV hizzen wuz comm from his old home
in Illinoy, to start Wagon and Cooper
shop in the Corners, witch wuz an increase
Nv jist that number Nv carpet baggers, be-
sides wat hands they mite bring with EN-.
This alarmed our citizens, and it wuz
felt nessary to take steps to stop it. Ac-
cOrdin meetin wuz called Nv the natives,
wich met last mite at the church.
In assoOmin the chair, I am ex of1sho
chairman Nv all meetins held at the Cor
ners,) | remarkt that the exigences Nv the
tir,es demanded that suthin be done. The
peece and yoononimity Nv feelin Nv the
Corners coold not be disturbed by the in
t1ux of carpet-baggers. The trooly South
ern sole wuz wrung, the Southern heart
wuz bleedin, but ther wuZ pint beyond
wich the Southern sole and heart Good
not go, and that pint wuZ carpet baggers.
The Southern heart loathed the spawn NV
the North and the shivelrous Southern
sole Good not and wood not bear to hev
| Northern agitators okkepyin their places
| and bringing with EN- their ijees, wich
were alluz in opposishen to ourn. Eff sich
wuz to be the case, ferewell the sunny
South and her instooshens. I askt in con-
clooshin for an expreshin Nv opinyun from
| the citizens assembled.
To my consternashin Joe Bigler riz, tho
where he come from can't say. He COM
| menst by remarkin that attachment to
ones native soil, and desire to hold Office
in it, wuz one Nv the highest and hottest
instinks Nv our fallen nachers. He Good
| and did sympathize with the chairman Nv
the meetin fully, and agreed with him in
| everything he he'd said. He did not be-
lieve that needy advencherers from the
| cold and frozen North shood come here
and possess themselves Nv the soil to the
excloOsion Nv them native and to the
| manor born. Never never! never! He
he'd Southern heart and Southern sole,
and he wood never consent to be crowded
out by them alien to us. He he'd drawd
up resolooshens which he begged to sub
mit viz:
Confedrit Roads, witch is In the State Nv Ken
lucky, denounce ez disturbers, interlOpers and
carpetb baggers wieh can't be tolerated, all those
within her borders wich wuz not born there.
fes0E0ed, That when s1ch person az 1s con-
templated in the above resolution holds an offs
asks for one his presence is pertiklerly unsufer-
able.
Reso1Ued, Thatwe do to wunst clean out nv the
Corners all sich persons, quietly eff possible, but
by force Ell needs be.
The resolooshens struck the citizens
| favorably, and they wuz about to pass EN-,
Bigler's niggers NV course all votin for EN-,
when an idee struck me. / saw the STRAIT
egy NV the detestable wretch to wunst. 1t
wuz me he wuz amin at. l wuz the mark
Nv his Internal mashenashens. / remem-
f0rt bo rcf tn hot
wuz not a native NV Kentucky; that
| wuz Mortimer, and that had come to
Kentucky an advencherer! In agony
| arose and protested, but too late! The
resolooshen passed yoonanimusly, and Joe
Bigler stood GRIMM at me like feend.
"Now - sed he, "now that kin act by
| authority; now that / kin wunst more act
| in accordance with the wishes Nv my fel-
low citizens, from whom l hev bin so long
unhappily separated, propose to 60 for
| carpet-bagger. ParsOn, your time hez
| come"
And the wretch made for me vishusly,
| and he'd me by the throte in less than a
second.
| Immejitly Bascom and Pennibacker, Nc
Pelter, and the rest interfered and dragged
the villin away.
"Wat does this meanf" they askt.
"Why this assault?"
Why? Isn't the Parson afore us a car
pet bagger ?" askt Bigler Wuz he born at
the Corners? Htz he rite to stan on the
soil Nv Kentucky and say, thank Hevin l
too am Kentuckian! Possibly l may
hev misunderstood the tenor Nv the reso-
lushens wich l writ, and wich yoo passed.
Eff so forgive my zeal"
"But josef" said Deekin Pogram, "the
10 nt onnnrHin fo or1r idoo
pet-bagger."
"Too troo," said Bigler in reply, "he
he'd no carpet bag when he came"
"That isn't precisely wat mean. The
Parson is Constooshnel Democrat. He
agrees with us in sentiment, and"
"A lite breaks in onto me-" remarks
Bigler. 81 see a distinkshen. We de-
| nounce men ez carpet-baggers and inter
| lopers and sich, not becoz they are carpet
| baggers and interlopers, but becoz they
don't inter1ope accordin to yoor noshens.
| The Parson isn't Objectionable to the Cor
ners, becoz the Parson kin punish ez
much sod corn whisky ez any Nv yoo, and
votes the Demokratic ticket with fearful
| regularity; Pollock is Objectionable be-
COZ he don't do these things and happens
| to be sOmewot Ablishen in his tendencies.
| Thank the Lord I now understand wat
carpet bae ger is. Parson, 1 beg pardon
| for my violence, and move this resol0O-
shn ez substitute for the one yoo so in
! considerably passed"
ResolUed, That while the citizens nv the Cor
ners bleeve in perfect freedom thot and speech,
and desire it above all things, they nevertheless
view with alarm the comm hither NV Northerners
who are Republicans and won't paternize Bas-
com, and we pledge ourselves to bust the heads
nv sich.
ResoiUed That we bust the heads only NV dis
turbin carpet-baggers
Resotved, That all Northern Republicans comm
here is carpet t-baggers, and all Northern Demo
krats Is not.
"This," sed Josef, "makes the matter
plain to the dullest comprehension. Let
'em pass"
I objected, but Bigler, stubborn ez pair
Nv mules, insisted, and ez by this time the
church wuz half full Nv niggers, wich he
insisted shood vote ez they wuz not only
native born Kentuckians, but many NV
'em he'd the best blood Nv Kentucky run
min in their veins, it was passed over our
| heads aud the meetin adjourned, Bigler
and Pollock, follered by their adherents,
goin off in high glee. That cuss seems
to take delite in spiling everything that
the rest Nv us undertake to do. Theirs
many short corners in Dimocrisy that
must be turned skillfully, and it's awkward
to hev a man like him Dustin thro 'em like
a bull in china shop. But he can't live
alluz.
