State Nv Kentucky, Feb. 8, 1870.
l don't know reely there's any more
yoose in livin on this earth. The Fif.
teenth Amendment is adoptid and
nigger Senator will take seat in the
SENT wunst okkepied by that marter,
Jefson Davis. It's about time for me
to get hentz-I hev no desire to RENAME.

in the back room NV my blessid grosery
in Moo York, into wich l hain't, ez yet,
put no water, and probably l will
think shell go home, shut myself up in
that back room, drink that partikeler
barrel dry, and fail dead across it. Like

counsel the Dimocrisy NV that State, in
the present crisis. The nigger Reyel
hez a seat in the SENT of the Yoonited
States, and of course no Kentucky DIM
ocrat kin so degrade hisself ez to set in
that body beside him l expected, Nv
course, that Garrett, Davis and McCreery,
would immejitly resine, and ez no native

Cured to me that possibly there mite be
a chance for me. / am Northern Dim
ocrat by birth, and Northern Dimocrats
hev alluz done sich work for the South
eruers ez the Southerners countid too
dirty for EN-. The only thing wich Good
stand in the way wuz the fact that J. left
Kentucky a year ago, and am now a
citizen NV Moo York. But what NV that?
/ I l.. II
II hev been in Moo York politics enuff
to swear anything.
At all events L went to my old State,
and got together a caucus NV the Dino
cratic members NV the Legislacher to
consider this thing.
The Chairman of the caucus remarks
that the signs NV the times indikated
trouble. Kentucky, eff that nigger wuz
admitted to the SENT, wuz virchually
disfranchised, for NV course Davis and
McCreery Good not rename in their seats
beside him. No Kentucky gentleman
wood disgrace his proud State by practi-
cally takin to his buzzum a male member
of an inferior race-uv acknollidgin his
equality and workin quietly with him.
Never! Sooner than this he wood be
willin t. see the States further South in
nogerate another struggle for their rites,
in the event NV wch, tIoo to the yoonyun
ez before, Kentucky wood preserve a
strict and dignifed nootrality by sellin
horses and prorenaer inaparsially &c beth
armies. He. hoped the gentlemen wood
express their views freely.
A gentleman from the eastern part NV
the State offered the following preamble
and resolushen
Hareas, The SENT Of the Yoonited
States is about to admit to n sect in that
body niger; and
Wdreas, No Kentucky Dimocrat wood
degrade hisself by sittin beside a nigger:
therefore
Resoleed, That Hon. Garrett Davis be
instructed to resine to-wunst.
The resolushens passed to-wunst, with.
out dissentin voice, and were sent By
, telegraph to the Senators at Washington
, after wich begged permission to offer a
remark. l said that Nv course no Ken
tuckian Good be found to take them pla-
! ces made vacant by the two eminent men
who wuz about to leave the SENT, but
nevertheless Kentucky coodent afford TO
go unrepresentid. Is there no northern
man Nv Kentucky principles who will
, rush to the front at this crisis
, Twenty gentlemen spraug to their feet.
, The one who got the eye Nv the Chair
man remarkt that Kentucky shood alluz
be represented by kentuckiaus, Davis
. and McCreery cleerly ought not to stay.
, They shood resine to-wunst protest
: agin this outrage, but eff Kentuckians
: Good be found who wood accept the places
; | they shood be found. Takin en- ez they
; wood ez a necessity, there woodent be q
: stigma attached to them that there wood
be TO the present incumbents eff they
;. shood RENAME, and possibly sich may be
:. found.
= The Chairman doubted whether there
: wuz Kentuekian who had so little re
}. speek for hisself Eff Kentuckian wu7
selected it shood be from the membership
NV the Legislacher. He felt that it wui
L the duty OF some two NV them to sacri
a fee themselves on the altar of their State
), II wood be q bitter degradation for mar
i filed with the memories NV the past, te
n choke down natural pride, and take see
l. with niger, but some one must do it
l. He would seiest that the members pro
y coed with system in this mat er. Let u.
e designate by ballot, our wishes. Let u
d vote for a man to fill the place to bc mad.
IS vacant by g. Davis, and let tho membc
g upon whom this duty falls accept tn,
,r sacrifice in the true Kentucky sperit
n Gentlemen, prepare your ballots for
}, successor to Davis, and get ready to she,
# friendly teer over the fate NV the mai
IS upon whom the degradation falls
1t This wuz agreed to, each member re
le markin that no matter who was chosen
q there wuz no law to compel him to b
y electid and set beside nigger.
