calm and comprehensive survey nv the

| that without some shift in the position NV
the Dimocricy, our hope NV success was ex-
| ceedingly thin. The resolOoshens introdoost

| Ohio. wuz to me new lite. Troo, they
hev the site disadvantage Nv abjoorln
every thing that is Dimocratic, and
NV putin the Dimocratic party on

are actooated by the same high and holy
| impulses. Eff to do this requires the okke-

all stop at Bascom's for drink, and that,
eff the d bin successful in their hangln and

to adopt anything l shood suggest. 1t wuz
a very short but very satisfactory CONSUL
tashen There was some Ohjeckshus on the
part NV few to wat they called an aban-
donment NV Dimocratic ideas, but Bascom
settled their hash in very short meter. He
remarked that it wuZ necessary that the
offises be in the hands Nv his friends for
obvius reasons. He wantid pay and he
knowed NV no other way. to git it. He be-
leeved in the fullest freedom NV thought
and ackshen, and that every one shood ex-
press hisself untrameled, but he 'coodent
abide idiot. If there wuz any one in that
assemblage so stOopid as TO differ with him
on this question, let him make hisself

the next mite at the church to make pub

Ez the prinsiple Objick of the meetin wuz

states that the Dimocricy of the South really

all the amendments made to the constitoo- |

pledge themselves to see that our Afrikin
fellow-citizens hev not only this but all

1t was done. The twenty-five niggers
