IN THE STATE Nv DELAWARE,
May ~, 1870. j.
To SAY that l am delited with the vi.
mocrisy NV Delaware is tOyoose mizably
faint expression. They hev all the easys
goin faith Of the Kentuckian without his
ferocity; they hold jest ez, firmly to the
reso. .ooshens of '9S; they drink with ez
much alacrity they ginerally go bare
footed, and hate the Niger with an inten-
sity / never saw exalted. In the matter
NV likker they are simply CRATE. l s,.w
one old vetran wich votid for Jaxon, take
down a clean half pint nv burning flooid,
wich the most restless-minded citizen nv
the Corner he'd jest diskivered and bought
ez a substitoot for taller dips, and walk off
erect under it. There's bowels for yoo !
Woodth wus blest with sich
/ hev diskivered that the prevalin idee
that a cold climit is nessary to the enjoy
ments Nv crate quantities Nv likker is q
mistake Cold, it's troo, enables man TO
take it in, but then when it's wunst in q
man in "a cold country 1t stays. Yoo
can't drink quite ez much to wunst under
bilin- hot sun, but then it sweats 1t out
NV you, and you kin drink oitener. But
this is depression.
The Democrisy NV Delaware, ez sed,
SCOT me. In other States wher they hev
drunken Senators they are ashamed NV
EN-; Delaware is sbslootly proud NV
Salisbury, and wooden't change at no
prize. Then in addishen to Salisbury
we hev the whippin-pOst and white
mans party, so that in Delaware at least
the tokens NV high civilizashen are not
likely to become extinct.
Thank the Lord for Delaware.
Mr.. VIM. Sapp, familyerly knowd ez
Old Bill Sapp, at whose house wuz as
siued quarters, is q constooshnel grosery
keeper, and at his house is held the con-
frences Nv the offishes NV the State Yes
terday Salisbury and Bsyard, the U. s.
Senators, and Cove Salisbury, Governor,
and others wuz present The DimOcracy
Nv the Corners insisted that eZ they re-
auired their candidates to pledge their
selves not to accept Nv niger votes, that
the Senators NV the State shood hev re-
sined the moment niger Senator wuz
admittid. Salisbury didn't see it in thai
lite. Troo it wuz degredashen, but one
witch they coodent avoid. There wuz
diffrense between voluntary and involun
tary assOsiashen with niggers Ell mar
voluntarily solissits nigger votes he is x
be held guilty eff an outside power forces
niggers onto him, he can't help 1t and Il
innosent. He and his colleague Bayart
coodeIt help this outrage; Revels WI,
forst into their sosiety against their will
They wuz, so as to speak, morally raVlsht
They resisted, but in vain.
Two NV the best Dimocrats present re
lated their experience in Washlnton
Their idee NV Senators he'd bin formed
from Salisbury, and they sposed they
wuz all like MIN. Bein in Washintor
they determined to bear testimony agiI
the admission Nv niger Senators to de
grade their Representatives. So they de
cided to visit all the places, wich, iron
their knowledge Nv Senatorial life they
sposed Senator's visited, and demand e
they sold hkker to Revels, and eff the an
ser wuz in the affirmative they wood wall
out Indignantly. They went so fur ez tC
organize the little speech they wuz to 81
off on them wich shood confess to admittil
a niger to ther bar.
"Sir" they proposed to say to him
"Sir we are proud Caucashens, ana w
can't countenance an admixter Nv lnferlo
races with US. Keep your likker, sir
for niggers-white men hev no bizni
here.p s--
"Do .yoo sell likker to Revels?" theI
askt NV the first one. ..
"No, sir y wuZ the response, where
upon they took drink.
Immejtly they entered another.
"Do 700 sell likker to Revels?
mo, sirl" whereupon they took drinl
with him, and so on eight or ten times
drinkin at each bar wich gave them tina
anser, tn show their appreshashen u
men who coodent degrade theirselve
by dealin with an inferior race. Th
twelfth place
"Sll likker to ReVels"
"No, sir"
"set EN- upl 'Rah for Constoohn an
Ameriky for white menl'
And takin ther tods they swung ou
into another one.
"Likker to Revels?"
mo, SIR"
ISM up. 'Meriky for wite men
And into still another one.
'Likker ReYelsg"
"No, sir -
'Likker fr us zen. Meri-(hic)-k
fr wife men. 'Rah-(hic)."
The next place finished one oV em. Il
gasped, ON Rev-,"and sank lovingl
on the buzzum NV his mother earth. TT
other wusn't so far gone, OWN to his so
perior mental organizashen. He reelt
off in brown study, and went up to tt
Capitol. Returnin in about an hour,
shook up his friend.
"Mordeky," sed he, git up. Mordek
we've been deceived. Mordeky, we mi
gOan over Washinton, into evry sl-Q
-s'loon and not find single place whe
they sell likker to Revels. MOrdeky, tn
ape-lke, degradid, inferior bein is Met
odis preecher, and don't drink d-n drC
Nv nothin."
And uttering snorts Nv disgust at sit
Senators, they came home.
The Democracy Nv the Corners is n
ez harmonious ez Good be wished. II
nigger hez split EN- here. There are pc
haps dozen piggers in the visinity wi
take ther tods reglerly, and heretofo
Sapp heZ supplied em. The Dem0cri
pertested agin this, and retooZed yestt
day to paterniZe his bar eff he didn't ST.
sellin to EN-. Willyum smiled sardon
smile and tole em to be blest. They
withdraw ther paternage but it wuz on
for two hours. Willyum hez the.only b
in the corners, and he knowd his pow'
1t didn't take long for em to exhaust th
camior bottles, and then they he'd to !
turn to him on his terms.
It's fearful thing for one man to b
the power Sapp wields. The only bar
sich a community Thank Heaven,
loves me. PETROLEUM V. Massey,
=sz Wich waz Postmaster.
