THE STATE wv KENTUCKY, Sept. 4, 1876.
Readin Northern newspapers for some
weeks past, 1 hev come to the concloo-
shen that the people Nv the North don't
understand the troo status Nv things
down here, and / feel it my dooty to en-
hten EN-. 1t is not nacheral that North
ern man kin understand the feeiins of
Sutherner. The Northerner never wuz
a aristoorat like us,-he never WIZ
sooperior race. But bein mere labrin
msn, or mere men Nv biznis, or SIGH,
they kin hardly be expected to compre-
bend how some things strike the minds
Nv hawty, shivelrus people, which hev
bin obleeged to succum to force.
That the niger is a trubble to us,
Their is no question, ana nobody denies
Nv it. He is a worriment and an irrita
shen, and, more than that, an absloot
noosehce and Their never kin be peece
SO long ez he is onrestrained and oncon-
trolled.
1. We are in constant feer Nv him.
Here N the Corners there is about 200
nv em,-there wuz more, but Their re-
peeted assaults onto us hez ended in Their
bein thinned out somewhat, and them
200 keep us in constant feer. They form
Il boldly by themselves, and hev doubtlis
organized to act agin us. 1 myself hev
frekently seen two Nv en- in close con-
verse, and they hev their own religious
meetins, which is doubtlis kiver for
Their nefarious desines.
We hev never suffered from any out
breaks Nv theirn, for the Corners is
prompt. Whenever we antissipate dan
ger, and feer risin, we immejetly sally
out and kill dozen or SO, wich nips it
in the bud.
2. They will not labor for us, and
thus stand in the way Nv the progress
nv the country. This season the follerin
losses wuz inflicted on citizens Nv the
Corners by these people refoosin to work
for en-
Issaker Gavitt, four akers Nv grass.
Capt. M'Pelter, six akers ditto.
Deekin Pogram, five akers ditto.
Elder M Grath, four akers ditto.
And others too tejus to menshun. I
shudder to think that [ shood hev lost
all my crop eff I'd he'd any. But, ez I
amt, 1 WIZ mercifully spared.
This loss come direckly upon the peo-
pie by the absloot refoosel Nv the mig
gers 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 it in but they refoosed,
givin ez a reeson that they he'd ther own
to take keer Nv. One Nv EN- insultinly
asked why we didn't go and git it in our
selves , He never asked no more ques-
tons. There WIZ only $3.50 on his
body. And ez we lost the hay so
we shell lose our corn. It hez not bin
ploughed or hoed, becoz we cooden't git
the labor, and how wat little there is Nv
it is to be cut and husked, is the ques-
ton we are perpetyooally askin ourselves
at Bascom's.
B. They are not contendid race, and
are onfttin therselves ez fast ez they kin
to be an inferior people. They hev
skools among themselves, witch is taught
by emissaries from Moo England. They
are not only learnin their children to
read and SIGH, but they are fyin in the
face Nv Providence by learnin themselves.
They hev the impudence to discuss
things, and in one naberhood they hev
RELY started debatin skool Nv coarse
all this worries US. Eff they keep on in
this way, they won't be fit to be agin re-
doosed, even eff we do git Dimocratic
President. l amt shoor that it ain t too
late now, and that, even eff Tilden shood
be electid, / doubt eff we Good bring 'em
to anything neer wat they yoosed to be.
4. They are inslent to us to degree
that is onbearable. They refoose to take
orr their hats wen they meet us, and
teech Their children to show US the same
disrespect. To true Suthern gentle
man, one-of the sooperior race, this is
sufficient to drive him to madnis. He
hez alluz taken great comfort in the idee
that ther wuz race beneeth him, and it
cuts to the quick to destroy the illlshen.
Niggers, wich only few years ago wuz
the property Nv our citizens, now pass
us with ther heads erect and ther hats
on, and even irritate us by appearin with
better cloze than we kin wear. Issaker
Gavitt's wife wuz only last week driven
to the verge of madnis by seeing Miriam
dy, the wife Nv one Nv their niggers, on
the street with black silk dress on
suthin Mrs. Gavitt hezn't he'd sence Is
saker sold Mirandy's daughter to get one
for her in 1860. This prodooses insub-
ordinashen in our families Mrs. Gavitt
made it lively for Issaker. She told him
that eff he wood quit loafin around Bas-
CONS and g. 70 work ez Mirandy's hus-
band did, possibly he might get her an
other dress. Issaker coodent make her
understand that shivelry coodent be
expected to work in the field. like mig
ger and, to escape her tonge, he didn't
go home for two days, but slept on the
floor at Bascom's.
5. This inferior race insists on votin
and takin part in public affares. At meet
ms called to decide ez to levy;n 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 rite to voice in the DISPOSE
