calm and comprehensive survey NV the

months ago, that without some shift in the
position Nv the Dimocricy our hope Nv
success wuz exceedingly thin. The

is Democratic, AID NV putin the Demo-

but what NV that? 1 kin stand even so
sudden change ez that. Wat want
is the soopreme happiness Nv kickin that
nigger Lubbock out NV the postoffis at
the Corners. and NV putin myself in his

on the niggers and Northern settlers up
towards Garretstown, KNOWN that, on
their return, they'd all stop at Bascom's
for drink. and that ef they'd bin sue
cessful in their hangin and burniu they d
be in good humor, and ready to adopt
anything l shood suggest. 1t wuz very
short but satisfactry colsultashen. There
wuz some objickshums on the part of a
few to what they called an abandonment
Nv Dimocratic ideas. but Bascom settled
their hash in very short metre. He re-
markt that it wuz necessary that the Of
fee be in the hands Nv his friends for OBJ
vious reasons. He wanted pay and he
knowed Nv no other way to git it. He
believed in the fullest freedom NV thought
and ackshen, and that every one should
express himself untrampled, but he
coodent abide a idiot. If there wuz any
one in that assemblage so stoopid ez to
differ with him on that question, let him
make himself known. No sich man

such one wuz not deservin NV even the
commonest necessaries NV life. Several
who had riz to their feet to object dropt
as though they had been shot.
