july IA 1870

Delaware, come neerer to my idee
nv wat Dimocrats ought to be than
any | hev ever come across Wit The
kentaciSian is good, but. ehey seen
Kentuckians who wuz restless and |
diseontentid. l knowd nv Kentucl-
ians who did not take. stock in rail- |
ways, who did now and then nail up |
the clap-boards on their houses when |!
they he'd become loose, and who did |
wear shoes in summer. But no
Dim0efat NV Delaware wuz ever
knowd to do anything NV the kind.
They are an intensely religious peo-
pie, with faith in Providence witch |
| never saw surpassed. They bleeve
that the same Providence witch brot |
en- into this world will take keer Nv |
EN-, and they let him do it with an |
easinis and abandon witch to me is
deliteful. The most satisfyin specta- |
Gle my eyes ever restid onto is the
front porch Nv Sapps grocery at this
present time. There they set, leanin
back on them unwhittled chairs, (no
Delaware Dimocrat ever whittles)
with their feet onto the railin front
NV EN-, each with his head layin flat
wise on the wall, and all fast asleep.
All is still The flies buzz peacefully
about their noses, which ornaments
tempt them by their joocyness, but
repel EN- by their redihot brilliancy.
Like everything else about this Sec
ton the flies is an undecided lot
But ever and anon one fly, more
hungry than his fellows, lites on the
nose Nv some slumberin patriarch
he bites the Saint makes an exertion
| to brush him off and awakes. Ava
kin he takes drink, witch awakes
all the rest who also take drink,
after witch they go to sleep agin.--
| Sapp loves flies and SEE he's maxim
experiments on more lively breed,
a more DARN and enterprisin fly
which'll keep EN- awake more Nv the
| time
Nv coarse we hevn't got no rail-
rosds. There WIZ one projected
thro' this section but the citizens wus
Mortified at the idea.
"Wat - said they "shel we hev
screechin ingin to keep us from hevin
our reglar afternoon and forenoon
nap? Never"
"But," said the projectors, eth
increase the valyoo of your real es-
tate"
"Reel WAT 2" asked these innocents.
"Real estate--land.
swat good wood that do us ;" re-
piled the sturdy yeomanry, "when
nobody wants to SELF" and they
wood hev stoned tho railroad party,
had it been cool day 80 that the
exertion Nv gettin the stones wood
ent hev worried EN-.
| Bill Sapp wuz 80 pleased at the
sperit they showd that all that day
he kept the flies off Nv EN- hisself
while they slept, WITCH they did ez
soon ez the railroad party wuz out
NV site.
notist one nv en- laying on the
broad NV his back, the other day, q
swallerin oysters witch a niger boy
WIZ opeHin.
Sammy" SEE this youths parent
to him, the old man lyin on his
back the while, Sammy, it's a merci-
ful arrangement that oysters amt got
no legs, amt it, Sammy"
81 don't see that" sed SAMMY, "ef
the had legs ther'd be more meat into
en-"
eyes, but my son." returned this
ancient, "ef they he'd legs and shood
yoose EN- ever so little, we'd never
git an oyster"
We are ez bizzy ez we kin be ar
rangin for the campane this fall. We
he'd meetin at the county sect yes
terday, reorganizin the party on a
brooder basis, SO that conservative
Republicans who feel outraged that
a materially inferior race hez bin put
onto q level with EN- kin cooperate
with us. The meotin held till late in
the evenin, but it wuz intensely in
terestin throughout-indeed | may
say it was trooly refreshin season.
We adopted platform embracin the
follerin idees:
l. The emancipashun Nv the Mig
ger wuz an outrage agin witch we
protest, and witch we demand be re-
versed before it is everlastiply too
late.
2. The niger IL an inferior bein,
and does not possess the intelligence
rekesit to proper yoose Nv the bal
lot.
3. The attempts Nv the disturbin
Radikels nv Delaware to abolish the
whippin post fills US with intense
alarm, it bein landmark.
4. The clamor nv the disturbir
Radikels nv Delaware for free skoo !
is a blow at Democrisy, and is jest
ez alarmin cz their demand to do
away with the whippin post.
In the insoOin campane the "White
Mans Party" will bear onto their
banners the follerin inskripshens
"No niger votin-The ballot in the
hands Nv the intelligent race--No
free skools-The whippin-post forev-
er-The constooshen ez it wuz, Del
aware OF it is, forever"
1 made the regler skriptooral ar
gyment interdoosin Canaan, Hager
and Onesymue, witch, however, did
MT hev much effect ez none nv EN-
he'd ever heerd NV these individuals.
! wuz disconnected somewhat when +!
wun nv EN- askt me eff Canaan wuz |
MT one Nv them cussid radicals in |
Wilmington. Bill Sapp, however,
got their attenshun when he men,
toned to show their entire worthless
ness ez citizens, that the entire
niger trade at his bar didn't amount
to hundred dollars a year, WITCH
wuz less than any one NV the proud
Caucashen race expended with him.
Mordeky Bender bore testimony to
the alarmin ignorance pervadin
among EN-, witch totally onfits EN- for
the ballot, after witch / wuz rekested
by the meetin to put the resolooshens
passed onto paper, ez the Secretary
coodent write. | sujectod that per-
