And others too tejs to mention. L shuddar
to think that shood hev lost all nv cron ef
I'd bed any. But ez aint, wuz mercifully
spared.
This loss come direcly upon the peple by the
absloot Iefoosal Nv the niggers to cot and git
in the hay. Every man Nv us wuz at Bascom's 5
evry day durin the hayin season, implorin
them wretches to git it in, but they refOosed,
giyin as reason that they he'd ther own to
take keer Nv. One Nv EN- insultingly asked
why we didn't go and git it in ourselvefP He
never askt any more questions. They wuz
only 81 so on his body. Aud ez we lost all
not been ploughed or hOed, becoz we coodent
git the labor and now wat little ther is Nv II is
to be cut and husked, is the question that we
are perpetually askin ourselves at Bascom's.
8; Iney are not contentid race, and are
onfittin themselves ez fast ez they kin to be an
inferior people. They hev skoos among their
selves, which is taught by emissaries from Moo
England. They are not only learnin ther chill
dren to read and sich, but they are hyin in the
face Nv Providence by learnin tbeirselyes.
They hev the impudeuce to discuss things, aud
in one naberhood they hev reely startd de-
batin skool! Nv coarse all this worries u.s. Ef
they keep on in this way they won't be fit to
be agin redoosed even eff we do git Dimocratic
IItSiuout' dluI SHOOT tnaL IL amt TOO late
now, and that even et Tilden shood be electid,
1 doubt eff we Good bring EN- to anything near
wat they yoosed to be.
They are inslent to US to a degree that is
onbearable. They refoose to take orf thare
hats when they meet us, and teach ther chill
dreD to show US the same disrespect. To a tru
Southern gentleman, one Nv the sooperior rase,
this is sufficient to drive him to madnis. He
hez alluz taken great comfort in the idee that
ther wuz a race beneeth him, and it cuts to the
quick to destroy the illushen. 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 MS by an
pearin with better close than we kin wear
lssaker Gavitts wife wuz only last week driy-
en to the very verge of msdnis by seeing Mi
randy, the wife Nv one nv ther niggers on the
street with black silk dress on, suthin Mrs.
Gavtt hezn't he'd seDce Issaker sold Mrandy's
daughter to get one for her in 1860. This pro-
dooses iDsubordinashen in our families. Mrs.
Gavitt made it lively for Issaker. She told
him eff he would quit loafin around Bascom's
and go to work ez Mirandy's husband did, pos
sibly he mite get her another dress Issaker
coodent make her understand that shivelry
coodent be expected to work in the feeld, like
a niger, and to escape her tongue he didn't go
nome Tor two days, but slept on the floor at
Bascom's.
5. This inferior race insists on votin and
takin part in public affairs. At meetings
called to decide ez to levying taxes for roads
and other purposes they come in and vote and
speke, jest ez tho they wuz white, claimn thet
becoz they pay taxes they hev rite to q voice
in the disposishen Nv EN-, f0Igittin that an in
ferior race amt no rite to mix in anything. At
meeting last week to consider the extenshun
of a road, one nv these degraded beings come
with paper, on which he had written the cost
per mile, and all about it, and be had the i'm
pudence to hand it TO the Secretary, IssaKer
Gavitt, to reed. he'd to relieve Issakers en-
barrassment by tellin the inferior man to reed
it hisself, wich he did, and in consequence the
proposshen was voted down. They infiict
these humiliashens onto us perpetyooally.
Good say more, but this is epuff Their Is
but one way out Nv this trubble The two
races waz never calkelatid to live together
except az master and servant, aud ther never
will be peece-ther can't be-till these interior
people take the place nacher intented EN- for
The aristocracy Nv the sunny South will never
admit EN- to an ekality. They hey succeeded
in gittin farms, and gttin foothold
that irrtates us to point past endoor-
ance. We shell never be content till the old
order nv things is re-establisbed. Ez the
stronger race We must be relieved nv all
feer Nv em. We must be wunst agin made
their guardians and protectors and guides.
They must wunst more labor for us, and under
our direcksbun. We shell never ask that they
be abslootely re-enslaved but they must be
made our wards as it were. They must not be
elevated to the rites Nv zepship till they are
fit for it. They must shut up their skoolhouses
and their churches and resOom their normal
condishuu till slch time ez they hev progressed
fur enuff to be safely intrustsd with the rite
of freemen.
This is wat we want and this is wat we must
hev to hev peece. Eff the nigger will consent
to this ther will be peece-otherwise not. We
can't endoor the present condshen Nv things
no longer.
This fall will decide the matter. Eff Tilden
is elected, all will be we'll. With Dimocratio
President and Dimocratc Congris, with the
Southern claims all allowed, with capital and
the means to compel niger labor, the South
will enter upon a new career of prosperity, and
be almost as well off ez it wood hev bin he'd we
succeeded in conkerin the miuyuns Hv the Go
riller, Linkin. and establishin a government
Nv our own. Dimoerats nv the North to your
posts! PETROLEUM V. NAsBY.

2. S. In the interests nv reform hev ar
ranged for four hundred Kentucky Dimocrats
to 60 over into Injeany in October, provided
the money for their expenses is forthcomin.
We are waitin anxiously.
