Sept. 9Th, 1879. y
Reedin Northern newspapers, for some
weeks past, l hev come TO the conclo0shen
that the people Nv the North don't under.
stand the troo status nv things down here,
and i feel IT. my dooty to enliten EN-. II IL
not nacheral that a Northern man kin un-
derstand the feelins NV n Sutheruer. The
Northerner never wuZ q aristocrnt like us-
he never wuz a sooperi0r race. But bein
mere labrin men, or mere men Of biznnis.
or sich, they can hardly be expected TO com
prehend how some things strike the minds
nv hawty, shriyelrus people, which hev bin
obleeged 10 succum to force.
That the Niger IL a trubble 70 us Their
aint no question, and nobody denies NV II.
He Is q worriment and an irritashen, and
more than that an absloot noosence, and
there never can be peece SO long ez he Is
onrcsirained and uncontrolled.
I've are In constant fccr NV him. Here
In the Corners there Ia about 200 NV en-
there wuz more, hut Their respected assaults
onto us hez ended In Their bein thinned out
somewhat-and them 200 keep us In con-
slant fcer. They form a body by themselves,
and hev doubilfs organized to act agin us.
/, myself, hev frekently seen two NV ON In
close converse, and they hey their own reli.
gious meetins, which is doubtlIs a kiver for
Their nefarious desines.
We hev never suffered from any outbreaks
NV theirn, for the Corners Is prompt. When
ever we antissipate danger, and fear q risin,
we immedjetly sally out and kill q dozen or
so. witch nips II In the bud.
2.-They will not labor for us, and thus
stand in the way NV the progress NV the
cou try. This season the follefin losses WIZ
inflicted on the citizens NV the Corners by
these people r~efoosin to work for EN-:
lssaker Gayitt, four akers NV grass.
Capt. McPelter, six akers, ditto.
Deekin Pogram, five akers, ditto.
Elder M'Grath, four akers, ditto-A
And others too tejus to mensbun. Fsfud-
der TO think that l shood hev lost all my
crop ef I'd he'd any. But ez ! amt l wuz
mercifully spared.
This loss come directly upon the people
by the absoloot %refoosel NV the niggers to
cut and git in the hay. Every man NV us
wuz at Bascom's every day doorin the haydn
seeson, implorin them wretches to git II in,
but they refsosed, given ez q reeson that
they he'd ther " to take keer nv. One NV
EN- insultinly asked why we didn't go and
git II In ourselvesg He never asked M more
questions. Their wuZ only - 30 on his body.
And CT We lost the hay crop SO we shel lose
our corn. II hez not bin ploughed or hoed,
becoz we coodent git the labor, and how wat
little Their is NV 1t Is to lie cut and husked,
Is the question that we are perpetyooally
askin ourselves at Bascom's.
3.-Tbey are not a contentid race, and are
onfittin themselves eZ fast ez they kin te be
an inferior people. They hev skools among
themselves, wich is taught by emissaries
from Moo England. They are not only
learnin Their children to read, and sich, but
they are flyin In the face NV Providence by
n "a rtNt, tlntrsnlxn. ThnN haS tha ttnttt-
dence to discuss things, and In one na6er-
hood they hev rely startid a debatin skool!
Nv coarse oil this worries us. Ef they keep
on In this way they won't be fl to be agin
redOosed even ef we do git a Dimocratic
President. | amt shoor that II amt too
electid, | doubt ef we Good bring 'em to any
thing neer wat they yoosed to be.
4.-They are inslent to US to a degree that
is onbearable. They rcfoOsc to take orr Their
hats wen they meet us, and tCech Their chill
dren to show US the same disrespect. To q
true suthern gentleman, one uSthe scope
rior race, this is sufficient TO drive him to
madnis. He he- alluz taken rreat comfort
In the idee thu ther a race beneeth him,
and ii cuts to ne quick to destroy the illu-
sion. Niggers witch only a few years ago
wuz the property NV our citizens now pass
us with Their heads erect, and Their hats on,
and even ~irritate us by appearin with better
cloZe than we kin wear. 1ssaker Gayitt's
wife wuz only last week driven TO the very
verge of madnis, by seeing Mirandy, the
wife Nv one Nv ther niggers, on the street
with a black silk dress on, u.hin Mrs. Cav
lit hezn't he'd sence Issaker sold Mirandy's
daughter to git one for her In 1860. This
prodooses insubordinashen in our families.
Mrs. Gavitt made 1t lively for lssaker. She
told him that ef he wood quit loatin around
Bascom's and 70 to work, ez Mirandy's hus-
hand lfl nnSlth1g hn mitn ait hnr nnnthnr
dress. lssaker coodent make her under.
stand that a shivelry coodent be expected to
work in the field, like a Niger, and to es.
cape her tongue he didn't 90 home for two
days, but slept On the floor at Bascom's.
6-This inferior race insists on votin and
takin part in public ~atlares. At meetings
called to decide ez to leryin taxes for roads
and other purposes, they come in and vote
and speek, Jest eZ tho they wuz white,
claimin that becoZ they pay taxes they hev
a rite to a voice in the disposishen NV EN-,
forgittin that an inferior race amt no rites
to mix in any thing. A meeting last week
to consider the eXtenshun Nv a road, one NV
these degraded beings come with a paper
on witch he he'd written the cost per mile
and all about ii, and he he'd the impudence
to hand II to the Secretary, lssaker Gavitt,
to reed. ! he'd to relieve Issaker's embar-
rassment by tellin the inferior man to reed
1t hisself, witch he did, and in consekens the
plODuHinhCn was NotCu uoNn. lncy lHIlCl
these humiliashens onto us p~erpetyOolly.
Good say more, but this is enutf. Their
is but one way out NV this trubble. The
two races waz never calkelatid to live to-
gether except eZ master and servant, and
Their never will be peece-there can't be-
till these infer or people take the place
nather intended 'em for. The aristOcracy
NV the sunny South will never admit 'em ia
an ekality. They hev succeeded in gittir
farms, and gittin a fOothold that i~rritate,
us, TO q point past endOorance. We she
never be content till the old order NV things
Is re-establisled. Ez the stronger race,
we must be relieved NV all feer NV ZEN,
We must be wunst agin made their guar.
diahs and protectors, and guides. They
must wunst more labor for us, and under
our direckshen. We shell never ask thai
they be abslootely re-enslaved, but they
must be made our wards, ez 1t were. They
must not be elevated to the rites NV citizen
ship till they are fit for it. They must shut
up their skOOi houses, and their churches,
and resoom their ndrmal cbndishen till sill
time ez they hey progressed fur enutf to bt
safely entrusted with the rites nv freemen
This IL wat we want, and this Is wat We
hev to hey peece. Ell the niger will
sonsent to this Their will be peece-otherwise
not. We can't endoor the present con
dishen NV things no longer.
This fall will decide the matter. FL Til
den Is elected, all will he well. With
Democratic President and a Democrati,
Congris, with the Southern claims all al
lowed, with capital, and the means to com
pei Niger labor, the South will enter upOi
a new career Of prosperity and be almost ei
well of ez it wood hev bin he'd we succeed
cd in eonkerin the minyuns NV the GOriller
I,inkin, and established a government ~
our own. Dimocrats nv the North, to you
