The bigger will swet, but he will SWEET for

labor.
He won't be a slave and ez he will hev
courts, his labor will We not smoCge him out

The carpet Dagger will possess the land,
and he will build tactries, and shops, and
ekools. and he will 60 to Congris and the
Legisiacher.
And the South will become even as Massey
choosits is, yea worse, for the soil is better;
and the carpit. Dagger will have a better
show for his labor.
The pleasant note NV the revolver and
the music NV the shot gun will no more be
heerd in all the land, and Their will be hang

And ther is no hope Nv bildin up another

He will i0reclose on the DeekIn, and
