Nasty on the Situation.
MR.. NAsBY AND HIS FRIENDS SECOND THE
MOVEMENT OF yATLANDIGHAM-A MEET
ING IN WHICH MR.. JOS. BIGLER TAKES
PART-THE RESULT.
Confedrit X Roads (which is in the Stait
of Kentucky May "a, 1s71.-A calm and
comprehensive survey Nv the politikle field
satisfied me, some months ago, that with
out some shift in the position Nv the Dim
ocrisy our hope of success wuz exceedingly
thin. The resolooshens introdoost by Val
landysum into the Convenshun Nv the
Dimocrisy NV Montgomery county, Ohio,
wuz to be new life. Troo, they have the
site disadvantage Nv abjooring everything
that is Dimocratic, and Nv putting the
Dimocratic party on purely Republican
ground, but wat Nv that? l kin stand
even so sudden change ez that. What 1
want iz the soopreme happiness NV kickin
that nigger Lubbock out Nv the post offis
at the Corners and NV putin myself in his
place, and Kernel McPelter and Elder Pen
Nv the offls ov Assessor and Collector are
actooated by the same high and holy
impulses. Eff to do this requires the okke-
pyin NV Republican ground, the war cry NV
us three il "okkepy." Kentucky is shoor
to go Dimocratic anyhow, and eff we kin
by so simple process ez passin resoloo-
shuns indoose enuff dissatisfied Republi-
kins in the close Northern States to vote
with us to elect a Dimocratic President,
who will give us these boons, we three are
for passin these resolooshens, no matter
what they are. This being my understandin
Nv Vallandygum's movement, acted onto
it to wunst.
1 got the leedin Dimocrisy NV the Cor
ners together one night at Bascom's. That
l might get EN- all at one time, waited
till the regler evening for the raid on the
niggers and Northern settlers up towards
Garrettstown KNOWN that on their return,
they'd all stop at Bascom's for drink,
and that if they'd been successful in their
hangin and burnin they'd be in good
humor, and ready to adopt anything 1
should suggest. 1t wuz a very short but
very satisfactory consultashen. There wuz
some objeckshuns on the part NV few to
what they called an abandonment Nv Dim
ocratic idees, but Bascom settled their hash
in very short metre. He remarkt that it
wuz necessary that the offisis be in the
hands Nv hi' friends for obvious reezous.
He wanted .'ay, and he know d of no other
way to git it. He believed in the fullest
freedom NV thought and ackshen, and that
every one should express himself untram-
eled, but he coodent abide idiot. If there
wuz any one in that assemblage so stoopid
as to differ with him on that question, let
him make himself known. No sich man
shood ever git drop at his bar, never
such one wuz not deservn Nv even the
common necessaries of life. Several who
had risen to their feet to object, dropt as
though they had been shot,
1t wuz determined to hold public meetin
the next night at the Church to make a
public endorsement of Vallandygum's idees
Ez the prinsipal object NV the meetin
wuz to convins the Republicans NV the
doubtful States that the Dimocrisy Nv the
South really accepted the situashen, and
ment in ded earnest to recognize the great
prinspal Of equality, arranged to hev all
the niggers NV the Corners present and
| save for EN- the best seats in the house.

opened the exercises by maxim short
speech ez took the chair. l rejoist that
| the time he'd finally arrived when the lion
and the lamb he'd layed down together, and
| a child wuz a leedin NV them. I knowd
that our colored fellow-citizens he'd been
dispitefully yoosed, and that due respect
| had not been alluz paid to our fellow citi-
| zens Nv the North, but that time had now
passed, and hoped forever. The Dimoc-
| risy NV the North through Vallandygum
| he'd spoke; they he'd accepted the situa-
shen; halleloogy, and from this time hence
| forth and forever there wuz nothin but peece
| l then offered the following resolooshen:
Resoloed, That the Dimocrisy NV the
Yoonited States recognize the legality of all
| the amendments to the constitooshen door
ing and since the late onpleasantniss, and
| that they recognize and most heartily
| acquiesce in all the results NV the war
| that they not only withdraw all their oppo-
sition to yooniversal snfferage, but pledge
| themselves to see that our African fellow
citizens hev not only this but all the rites
heretofore enjoyed exclusively by the Cau-
| cashen.
put the question as to the adoption of
the resolooshen, and it wuz carried yoonan-
| imously. 1t wood hev been well he'd
stopped here, but didn't. My prevailin
weakness is to slep over, and slopt on
this okkashen fearfully. called upon the
citizens Nv the Corners to prove their faith

spasm Of delight, "present at this meetin
