rapidly diminishing, while our popula-
tion, cur resources, our wealth, and our
industry are all rapidly increasing.
Such is the result of republican ad-
ministration.
In what respect can the democratic
party improve this condition of things ?
Nasty.
Mr.. Nasby and HIS Friends Second the
Movement Of Vallandigham-A Meeting
IN aohich Mr.. Joseph BigIer Takes a
Part.
Confedrit X Roads, (Which is the state
of Kentucky,) May 81, 1871.-A calm
and comprehensive survey Nv the politi-
kle field satisfied me, some months ago,
that without some shift in the position
Nv the Dimocrisy, our hope Nv success
was exceedingly thin. The resolooshens
introdoost by Vallandygum into the con-
venshun, Ohio, wuz to me a new lite
Troo, they hev the site disadvantage NV
abjoorin evrything that is Dimocratic,
and Nv putin the Dimocratic party on
purely Republican ground, but wat Nv
that? | kin stand even SO sudden
change ez that. Wat | want is the 500
preme happiness NV kickin that niger
Lubbock out Nv the postoffis at the Cor
ners, and Nv putin myself in his place,
and Kernel MePelter and Elder Pen
nibacker who hev bin languishin out
side the office Nv assessor and collector
are actooated by the same high and holy
impulses. Efto do this requires the ok
kepyin Nv Republican grounds, the war
cry Nv us three is "okkepy." Kentucky
is shoor to go Dimocratic anyhow, and
if we kin by so simple process ez passin
resolooshens indoose enuf dissatisfied Re-
publikins in the close Northern states to
vote with US to elect Democratic pres
inent who will give rs these boons, we
three are for passin these resoloosh ems
no matter wat they are. This being my
understandin Nv Vallandygum's move
ment, actid onto to it at wunst
got the leedin Dimocrisy Nv the Cor
ners together one mite at Bascom's. That
might get EN- all at one time, waited
till the regler evenin for the raid on the
niggers and Northern settlers up toards
Garrettstown, knowing that on their re-
turn they'd all stop at Bascom's for a
drink, and that eff they'd bin successful
in their hangin and burnin they'd be in
good humor and ready to adopt anything
l shood suggest. 1t wuz very satisfac-
tory consultashen. There was some OBJ.
jickshuns on the part NV a few to wat
they called an abandonment Nv Dino
cratic idees, but Bascom settled their
hash in very short metre. He remarked
that it wuz necessary that the offises be
in the hands Nv his trends for obvius rea-
sons. He wantid pay and knowed NV
no other way to git it. He believed in
the fullest freedom Nv thought and ack-
shen, and that every one shood express
hisself untrameled, but he coodent abide
idiot. If there wuz any one in that
assemblage so stoopid ez to differ with
him on this question, let him make his
self known. No sch man shood ever git
drop at his bar, never sich one wuz
not deservin Nv even the commonest nes-
esaries NV life. Several who had riz to
their feet to object, dropt ez though they
he'd been shot.
1t was determined to hold a public
meeting the next mite at the church to
hold make public Endorsement Nv Val
landygum's idea.
Ez the principle object of the meetin
wuz to convins the Republicans NV the
doubtful states that the Dimocrisy NV
the South really accepted the situashen,
and ment, in dead earnest, to recognise
the great prinsiple Nv equality, ! arrang
ed to hey all the niggers NV the Corners
present, and saved for EN- the best seats
