THE FRIENDS AND CONFRERES OF MR.
NAsBY HOLD MEETING AND INDULGE
IN A PROLONGED VAIL OVER THE PAS
SAGE OF THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT
BY THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
9TH WARD, Moo YORK,
Jan. "a, 1870.
THE passige NV the 18th Amendment by
the Ohio Legislacher created profound
sensashen in this immejit visinity. The
news reached us in the afternoon, andth
evenin large meetin wuz held in the
back room Nv my grosery to express our
views on the topic, the elect Nv the De-
mocrisy Nv the ward bein present. Iwuz
Nv course called to the chair, and Tommy
Mick Farland, who wuZ wunst a reporter

ventid him from dischargin his dooties

tary.
Terence O'Grath, who is an under wait
er at the Astor House, remarked that his
sole wuz filled with woe. The passage Nv
the Amendment by the Ohio Legislacher
settled the question Nv niger suffrage
From this time forward a mental race
only fitted by nacher to do mental Offices
for others, wood be placed on a ekality
with him. 1t wuz degradin to the race Nv
freedmen to witch he belonged, and for one
he wood never, no never submit. Mr.
O'Grath wood hev continyooed his remarks
but he wuz cut short by the entrance Nv
the head waiter, who cussed him viggerus
ly for bein away from his place, and
ordered him instantly to leeve "Who's
brush1n the gentlemen's coats, and pullin
off ther boots, and SIGH, while yoor here
blatherin ?" Indignantly ejakilated the
he'd man, ez Mr.. O'Grath meekly left the
room.
Jimmy Brannon, a drayman, remarkt
that he wuz entirely discouraged. Only
last week he he'd bin arrested and fined
for beatin hiz boss over the head with a
dray pin, and now kin nothing be dun to
check these Outrages?
Thomas Patterson, Esq. gentleman
knowd in pugilistic circles ez "Patty the
LITTER" wantid to know whether he wuz
to be compelled to go to the polls twenty
times day beside niggers? "Blarst my
heyes" remarkt Mr.. Patterson, vehement
ly, "Pll go back to hold Hingland first !''
Mr.. Phelim Malloy remarkt that SO far
ez Moo York wuz conserved he didn't
know as t'wood make any difference. He
wuz entirely shoor that no niger wood
ever vote in the Sixth ward, anyhow, ez
we don't allow only SIGH white men to
vote ez we want to have vote But
"But sposn they'll all vote the Dino
cratic tlkket?" sung out an Alderman.
"That wooden't do us anv good.n re-
torted Mr.. Malloy. So lon ez we kin
repate ez often ez needs be, and stuff into
the boxes ez many votes ez we want, wat
do we want Nv more voters? Wat he wuz
about to say wuz, that while it wooden
effncG us in Moo York, hiz sole run out in
pity towards the Democrisy in the
Ablishen Distriks, who wood, if he wuz
to be compelled to vote with niggers, be
compelled to stan by helplis and see the
ballot-box thus degraded
AT this pint there Wuz a gineral eX.
preshun Nv joy, okkashund by the en-
trance Nv Mr.. John Sykes, who he'd list
arrived from Sing Sing, where he he'd bin
encarcerated two years for burglary, witch
wuz complicated with shootin the individ-
jooel whose house he wuz burglin. His
bein convicted and sentenced wuz OWN to
the fact that he he'd opposed the nomina-
shen Nv the Judge afore whom he wuz
tried. MI. Sykes wuz Nv course indignant,
atthe unfair treatment he he'd experienced,
but he wuz more profoundly Affected at
the politikle sitooashen than he wuz at
his privit wrongs "Thunder To think"
sed he, "uv SIGH mass NV ignorence,
vishusness and crime bein elevated up to
us. Eff 'twant for some little matters con-
nected with a half dozen house breakins
in Lunnun, I'd go back on the next
steamer ez Sails"
And Mr.. Sykes actilly wept.
AT this pint an unfortunit difference &C.
Cured. Alderman O'Fallon wuz oferin
nv free men with the lower and more
vishus classes ez tendin to corrupt the
sanctity Nv the ballot, when Mr.. Patsey
Carney entered "Pay me the money We
promised me for the ten votes brot We
off the emigrant ship last fall, we spal-
peenI' ejackelated Carney. "Ive paid
it twict, we blaggard, and be CORA ther

"To the divil wild yell" remarkt Car
ney goin for him. Nv course the entire
meetin jined in the scrimage. It lastid
twenty minutes, resultin in the brakin NV
every chair in the room, a two gallon jug,
and twelve or fourteen heads. That relic
NV Ablishen misrool, the Metropolitan
pOleece, KUN in and stopt the row, takin
away ten men, nine Nv witch l knowd he'd
money in their pockets, witch, he'd they
stayed an hour, shood hev got. 1t wuz
eXasperatin.
Two Nv my stiddy customers who he'd
been overcome early in the afternoon, and
who he'd list pOt nm ont Nv tho GIRO Wy M nh
L keep in a room for the accommodashen
Nv SIGH, insisted that they'd never consent
to givin Nv politikle power to the degraded
wretches. They felt that the very propo-
sishen was an outrage. Besides" one Nv
EN- remarkt, "what effect will the maxim
Nv SIGH an army Nv new voters hev upon
the price Nv votes? Eff they vote at all
in this city they'll hev to vote with us
Will they immejitly demand their share
Nv the offices? Imagine my being ARRESTED
for vagrancy by niger policemen"
And the bare thought so shockt him that
he rusht out into the bar-room and took a
whiskey strate, forgettin, in his excitement
to pay for it.
Resolooshens were introduced and
passed denounsin the ackshen Nv Ohio
and exhortin Moo York to stand firm in
her rescindin Nv the ratifcashen. Addish-
mel resolooshens wuz passed, demandin
Nv the Legislacher NV Moo York a strikly
